Jesus Christ, saviour of the entire world and everyone in it. Faith alone salvation. Universal Salvations is true
Matt. 5:44-45 Jesus commanded us to be like Himself and His Father: "Love your enemies, bless those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you that you may be sons of your Father in heaven."
Journal Entry 85 – Live Forever after Dead
December 9th (Saturday) 2017
Anyways, came today and boy was it tiring.
…
Uggh, do I really have to do this. I’m so tired of this topic… but I’m so tired of not knowing this tired. I’m tried of the uncertainty that awaits after death, and… whether or not hell is eternal or not. Since I haven’t read the full Bible, I’ll just do a biased Google search of “hell is not eternal” and see what points come up that reaffirm my own worldview. Let’s begin.
[Excellent choice Song from 5 years ago. That “biased Google search” you made led you down the rabbit hole to the truth of Universal Salvation my friend :) ]
Just a side note, I’m already saved by grace through faith alone. Salvation is only found through simple belief in our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Nothing that we can do can save us, because as imperfect beings, we can never do perfect work. It’s not our own work that gets us to Heaven, but rather trusting in the perfect and finished work of Jesus Christ, through His sinless life (actual virgin birth to avoid being born of Original Sin), death on the cross, burial and bodily resurrection 3 days later. In Heaven, He sprinkled His own blood on the mercy seat of Heaven as it’s high priest. Through His precious blood we are seen as justified and perfect to go to Heaven. Salvation is not about doing our best, it’s about having Christ’s best put unto us, not about what we do, but what He did. Because of this, once we are saved, we will always remained saved no matter what. That is the eternal security of the believer. I know that I am saved, because John wrote his book for that purpose that “so that you may know that you are saved”. Sealed with the Holy Spirit, I have assurance of my salvation, the root of faith and the fruit of good works. I do good works not to be saved, but rather as a result of becoming a new creation in Christ, as a result of salvation. I am sealed with the Holy Spirit unto my day of redemption, that is the blessed hope and eternal security of every believer in His name. Amen.
The Bible states those who believe in Jesus Christ have eternal life. Yet, those who don’t believe shall perish. Tell me, how can a person perish if they are still living through the tortures of hell? [That is, death is one time, and you go to Sheol, realm of the dead, and then you come back to life, Jesus Christ saves all people]
More and more biblically sound evangelical Christians are coming to realize this important scriptural truth.
Let me emphasize beforehand that there’s absolutely no disputing the fact that eternal damnation is a horrifying [lie, it’s completely wrong and false] in Christian thought. [The absolute truth is that Hell will be empty. Hell is not eternal. Damnation is not eternal. Everyone will go to Heaven. All will become believers in Christ through faith alone and be saved].
Now that I think about, I have been seeing more annihlationists in Christianity. Despite only seeing a portion of his website, I’m assured from God Himself (or maybe that’s just in my head lol) that this viewpoint is correct, that it is not everlasting torment, but [Universal Salvation is true. Annihlationism is not true. Everlasting Troment is not true. God finishes His works, thus Christian Universalism, Universal Salvation is true.]
So, whether you’re a devoted Christian, a doubting Christian, an agnostic, an atheist — or simply a fellow human being who disdains all such labeling — I welcome you on this journey of discovery.
Wow, this guy’s got some fancy linguistics, always a twist and connection with all of his words. Really like this guy so far, right now even more than David J. Stewart. Sure, David J. Stewart from Jesus-is-Savior saved me, but back then I was too blinded by God’s emotional happiness that He gave me from being saved. Now that that’s worn off, I’ve realized the truth.

HERE COMES; BABY PANDA!!!!!!
HOP HOP YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HOP HOPE YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s been 3 years and I’ve still got that dang song stuck in my head…
Just realized that they have a X-Files font here too…
DUH NUH NUH NUH NUH NUH NUH NUH
What? I can’t resist putting in these pictures now lol.
Every day, I begin more like the mom blogs from my last journal entry, yummymummy, happilyeverafter, I stand beside them, not as their lowly, but as our highs…
And to think I’d take up scrapbooking…
I’m more relaxed for my future, not afraid of hell, [Hell is temporary, everyone will go to Heaven] I know I’m saved. And even if I miraculously don’t, hell is not eternal. [Thank you for finally realizing the truth past me! Future me from 5 years later thanks you, my friend] If what I’m doing now, trusting in Jesus Christ, doesn’t save me. Then well, I never had any chance of being saved anyways, because that’s the only thing that can possibly save a wretched, vile sinner like me.
John 11:25, Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
John 3:16, For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
I believe in Him, thus I am saved. Amen.
Revelation 7:9, After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
…
So much to look forward to in life, I am getting stronger and I will endure through life without killing myself. Thank you, Father, for all of these motivations in life, and more importantly; for blessing me so. Amen.
Update
Why can’t I just be happy, I just want to be alone for a little bit, I just want to be in control, is that too much to ask. Whenever I have a break, I can’t use it, so I won’t go crazy with this stop. Please help me, help me stop this, I can’t.
Update
Ugh, with this doctrine. [Annihlationism and ECT] Why am I tortured so?
[Insert a bunch of links here]
[And then I would come to find Universal Salvation as the truth eventually]
All of these people, those of whom who I saw as, friends I guess. They all wish for those to suffer for all eternity, and question the salvation of those who believe in Annihlationism.. er… let’s just call it the Second Death. [ECT and Annihlationism are wrong. Universal Salvation is true]
http://ocdandchristianity.com/?p=612
The effective psychological treatment for this particular manifestation of OCD is clear: The young woman must expose herself to the fear that she is not saved… patience in enduring the painful cross of fear and uncertainty. When God is ready, he will then make faith stronger than ever.
My faith willlllll be strong. Oh Lord help me. I just wanted to relax today and enjoy anime and play video games and be happy but now I’m stuck in this cycle. I just wanted to be happy in life. That’s it. Was it too much to ask of a perfect God? To simply give me a little bit of happiness, to love me enough to give me happiness? Was that too much to ask? Are you the only one who has the right to be born as God? Why wasn’t I born as God? Why do I have to be born with the chance of going to hell for all eternity, why aren’t you born with that consequence, huh??!??!?!! Why are you so lucky as to be born in your comfy chair up above without having to risk your life and worry about whether you will unhappy because you just so happen to be the Creator of everything and know that you won’t ever be unhappy? What’s the point of making us for your own happiness if we are unhappy? And some for eternity? The suffering of others? I’m so confused, I’m sorry God for insulting and degrading you, but please I can’t take it anymore. I want to, no, I need to know the truth. Hell is not eternal. Hell is NOT eternal. Please reassure me of that, my heart can only take so much. And right now, it’s broken.
[God did not sit up in a comfy chair, He risked His life for us and paid the wages of sin, death. My complaint above shows that Eternal Concious Torment is wrong since for Christ to pay the wages He would need to go through ECT, which He didn’t, He just died once, so it shows that simply death is the wages of sin. And Christ resurrects all the dead from Sheol, thus everyone will go to Heaven, guaranteed]
I could go out right now, I could hang myself from a rope. I could do so many bad things because I’m starting not to care. What’s the point? If I was not elect for salvation and not predestined for it, then would there have been any point to try? Did I ask you Lord to be created? Why do you give me free will? Only for me to suffer? I never asked to be born, especially with such inhumane and distasteful situation held in front of me. Some people are just born to be tortured forever? How does that make any sense???!?!?!? That’s inhumane!!!!!!!!!!! That’s cruel!!!!!!! And that’s UNBIBLICAL!!!!!!!!!! We are not tortured forever in Hell, we are born, we suffer for a bit in Hell, and then we [have faith alone in Christ and are saved, thus all go to Heaven, permanently], that’s it.
Are these people so egotistic and stubborn in their own traditions that they are willing to have LITERAL BILLIONS OF PEOPLE go to Hell just because they want to prove that they were right? “Woohoo, I won the debate, I am so smart. Yay, now let’s watch billions of people burn in Hell for all eternity with Jesus and the angels woohoo!!!”
What is this cruel world that we live in. Why was I ever born? I never wanted this. I never wanted any of this.
Sometimes. I just wish I never knew about religion in the first place. That I can just wipe my memory now and forget all about this “eternal torment” nonsense. But then I wouldn’t be saved, so I guess every pro has it’s con. Double edged sword idiom insert here.

For the Christian, OCD can be viewed as spiritual warfare. It is the enemy pressing tormenting fears upon us. We can’t prevent the fiery darts; only God can take care of that. What we can do is simply this: We can stay on the battlefield, fortifying our courage with the knowledge that the outcome has already been determined. In his commentary on this verse,
https://escapetoreality.org/2014/08/01/conversations-about-hell/
There are nearly two dozen scriptures in the New Testament that talk about hell and the majority of them – like 80% – indicate a final death for those who refuse life. On top of that there are many passages that don’t mention hell but refer to fatal consequences, such as this one: “Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life” (John 3:36). Two outcomes; you either have eternal life or you will not see life.
But you know what. Who cares. I will believe Hell is not eternal, just to preserve my own sanity here. Ignorance is bliss, if hell is not eternal I’d rather not know about it. It hurts my head, my arms and my soul just researching this topic, I’m addicted to this obsession.
https://412teens.org/qna/why-should-I-not-commit-suicide.php
There is nothing we can do to lose our salvation or to become "more saved."
Romans 11:6 says, "But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works, otherwise grace is no longer grace." And grace is what God extended to us.
But maybe you've already believed in the Lord Jesus Christ. Maybe it feels like "it didn't work." Maybe you still feel despair and pain and hopelessness, and you think you're not "supposed" to feel that way. You're discouraged. You feel like an outcast from the church because you're doubting, and it feels like the line to God has been cut. You feel alone.
You are not alone.
I promise that you are not the only one who has gone through this struggle of doubt. Doubt does not take away salvation, nor does it take away God's unchangeable affection for you. Once you have become a child of God, "neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, not height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 8:38-39).
But God has helped me. Despite what everyone thinks, everyone is imperfect, so they could all be wrong. I am saved and forever saved. I am saved and I am happy , and I will be able to enjoy my life. I will not be trapped in this vicious cycle any longer.
I am getting stronger.
I am growing stronger.
I am stronger.
Only through Jesus Christ.

“Adherents of eternal torture hold such a low view of life, that death is not a punishment for them.”
It’s true. It’s why they’re dedicated with evangelism, they’re overly motivated because if they don’t save someone, that someone burns in hell forever. They hold such a low view of life that they go against all common sense and risk their lives knocking on doors, street preaching, etc because they’re afraid like I am right now. For them and for me, death is a reward, that the work is done and it was a job well done. For us, death would be a reward because it means leaving this horrible stupid meaningless life. Never seeing it again and forever being happy. I tell you the truth, that’s the only reason why I haven’t killed myself, my only hope. My blessed hope. My last hope.
I accepted Christ a few months ago. What an awesome experience the first few weeks were! Then came visions of the majority of mankind being thrown alive into a pit of fire, where they would scream and whither for eternity. I saw faces of people I loved, people I knew-burning, withering, and screaming in pain! I was in terrific fear, fighting back "God, why?" So, I prayed, "Let me understand, Lord, for I do not want to question Your righteous judgment!" But peace did not come. I was so shaken that I had to get therapy and prescription medication. something in me telling me that a God who is love would never do this-Your website has brought me peace. I prayed for discernment, and I have it now. Thanks.
I think this is sufficient evidence to show that this is a very important topic. How many believers are suffering under the weight of the false teaching of eternal torment-for their unsaved loved ones already gone? How many children are taught the wrong view of a God who will torture them for eternity in hell if they don't accept Jesus and they are tormented by it themselves here! The truth of God's Word helps us see the ultimate fate of unbelievers and helps us motivate them to come to salvation today, to life, to everlasting life.
I’m done reading Bible blogs. That’s it, I’m done. It’s 12:45 PM, I wasted the whole day on this garbage when I could have been resting. But that’s life. And life sucks…
I’ll see you all later.
Hopefully in Heaven.
…
Lord have mercy on me.
[YES YES YEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!! Ok, the date is December 21st 2022 and I am a Christian Universalist. I believe everyone will eventually have faith alone in Christ and thus everyone will go to Heaven. And wow wow WOW. This was such a great moment here. That last line. WOW “I’ll see you all later. Hopefully in Heaven”. That is some truly awesome foreshadowing. I’m truly grateful that I learned the truth, that everyone will go to Heaven in the end, a happy ending for all! I hope my life story here can help you all understand this truth too my dear dear friends :D ]
