    I can't remember where it was but I have never been sure whether the bible promotes universal salvation or not. Wikipedia mentions the verse on Jesus having a narrow gate.

    Can you please clarify your statement on no eternal damnation from Christianity?

    Could you link to the comment? This might be easier to talk about in a thread or by PM also. I'm not sure what needs clarifying.

    you made some good points today in chat. sometimes I really think language is a huge barrier.

    language is tricky, but also fascinating. I like to err on the side of overestimating how much of a disagreement might boil down to hearing words differently than the alternative.

    Of course it doesn't mean that sometimes disagreements aren't real, rather than semantic. But erring on the side of believing we probably aren't that different encourages more communication and less hostility, which seems good to me in any case :D

    Theology does not demonstrate the truth, but exposes it nakedly in symbols, so that the soul, changed by holiness and light, enters into it

    No one speaks less than God, without time or place. From all eternity he utters only a single word.

    what word?
    also where is this one from?

    It's from a poem called The Cherubimic Wanderer, written in the 17th century by Angelus Silecius. The word it refers to is the divine Logos of John's gospel, i.e Christ, although I hear in it echos of other traditions as well, which is partly why I like it.
