ECUMENISTS AND UNIVERSALISTS CREATE A PSEUDO CLASH BETWEEN LOVE AND FAITH
The Christian universalists who try to prove that all men are saved and that there is no hell, completely fail in their arguments. They will start reading the Bible passages in the hope of proving their ideology. But in the middle, they fail. We ca easily show how they fail, and also how their plan is against the plan of God. The universalists try their best to nullify the human responsibility in the salvation process. They claim that no valid faith can come from man. Whatever faith man can have, is mere human will or the product of his surroundings or environment. Thus, man is totally absolved of any responsibility of his own salvation. This is escapism.
They argue that the full responsibility for man’s salvation is with God. If there is hell and some are not saved and is going to hell, then it is the problem of God. This is an accusation against God. They argue that the source energy and aim of true faith is God’s love. This again is a half-truth. This is because the role of human response in faith to God is never cancelled. In support of their argument, they start with Galatians 5:6 which says: For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
Then they quote Romans 3:26 onwards. In fact, the passage defeats all their arguments. “To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. Therefore, we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law”. Here we can see 2 things. God justifies him that believeth in Jesus. There is no automatic justification. Justification is for those who believe in Jesus. Even while reading a particular Bible passage, the false teachers skip the portions which are not favorable to their ideology. This is hypocrisy. In fact their method is ridiculous and miserable. Furthermore, the law is not made void through faith. Rather we establish the law by faith. The false gospels may give false happiness, false freedom and false peace for some time. But that is a deception.
THE UNIVERSALISTS ARE FOR WIDER ECUMENISM, IN WHICH TRUE FAITH IS KILLED BY WILD LOVE. The modern Christian universalist liberals argue that Faith will discriminate between true belief and false belief, subsequently leading to the anathematizing of all the false beliefs leading to the division of human beings from each other. They argue that love, on the other hand, finds the loveable even in the error and untruth. It overcomes differences to unite. Hence, they are for love unrestrained by any faith. They want to raise themselves above the Christian faith by their wild love. It is imprudence and irresponsibility unrestrained.
