[FineLinen]

"Restitution is God putting things back together into union with Himself until all separation and division is healed, every deficiency replenished, all imbalance corrected, and all extremes harmonized. In this state of being, selfhood, self-will, duality, sin and death forever cease to exist. God becomes all in all."~Ray Prinzing.

"I will restore to you the years that the locust has eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you. And you shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, that has dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed. And you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the Lord your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed. And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit".

Did you notice? You are on a discussion board.
You again managed to post 10 posts in a row, without getting one single reply.
That's such a dull way of "discussing".
Nobody is discussing with you. All you do here is presenting your endless walls of monologue. I won't go through it all.

Thomas: I wish you well on your journey into Him !

"You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us." - Gungor

"No more let sins and sorrows grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found." -Isaac Watts

"Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord God Almighty
Who was and is and is to come
With all creation I sing praise to the King of Kings. -The Revelation Song

Do these songs resonate with your soul’s desire?

Do you want to sing to the King of Kings with ALL creation or with just some of it?

Do you yearn for everyone to see God as He is and bow and worship Him for His love and beauty forever?

Do you experience a deep desire for the curse to be broken and all to be made beautiful?

Why is it so easy to sing these songs of praise to God when we are told that God will not have all restored or all creation worshipping Him?

Where do these desires come from?

By your behavior you show that debate is not what you want.
If this was what you want, you would just stop posting if you don't get any answers.
But you don't. You just confront the reader with a wall of text that never comes unaccompanied by a link to your sites.
I suspect you just seek a reason to link back to your awful Universalism sites.
So I won't answer your question. I don't want to make you feel I appreciate to hear your replies that never seem to really address what I post...
Even with regard to your post I am replying to: you did not address what I wrote. Sadly.
You just dropped a link to your site.

I rather appreciate a real discussion.

Our God is the God of restoration !

"Unto You, O Lord, belongs mercy; for You render to every man according to his work. The religious mind, however, educated upon the theories yet prevailing in the so-called religious world, must here recognize a departure from the presentation to which they have been accustomed: to make the psalm speak according to prevalent theoretic modes, the verse would have to be changed thus:

To You, O Lord, belongs justice, for You render to every man according to his work." -George MacDonald

"Our current criminal justice system has no provision for restorative justice, in which an offender confronts the damage they have done and tries to make it right for the people they have harmed...Instead, our system of 'corrections' is about arm's-length revenge and retribution, all day and all night." - Piper Kerman

"Retributive justice is largely Western. The African understanding is far more restorative - not so much to punish as to redress or restore a balance that has been knocked askew." - Desmond Tutu

"God's justice is a saving, healing, restorative justice, because the God to whom justice belongs is the Creator God who has yet to complete his original plan for creation and whose justice is designed not simply to restore balance to a world out of kilter but to bring to glorious completion and fruition the creation, teeming with life and possibility, that he made in the first place.” ― N.T. Wright

“You’re blessed when you’re at the end of your rope. With less of you there is more of God and his rule. You’re blessed when you feel you’ve lost what is most dear to you. Only then can you be embraced by the One most dear to you. You’re blessed when you’re content with just who you are—no more, no less. That’s the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can’t be bought." -MSG

Poor = ptōchos =

Destitute of wealth, influence, position, honour.

Destitute of the Christian virtues.

Helpless/ powerless to accomplish an end.

Inexhaustible =

Cannot be entirely consumed or used up.

Tireless / never wearying.

Not exhaustible / incapable of being exhausted.

"And so here I am, preaching and writing about things that are way over my head, the inexhaustible riches and generosity of Christ. My task is to bring out in the open and make plain what God, who created all this in the first place, has been doing in secret and behind the scenes all along." -MSG

 

[FineLinen]

"God has highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."


In = en

The name = anoma

Jesus = Iēsous

Every = pas

Should bow = kamptō

Heaven = epouranios

Earth = epigeros

Underworld = katachtonios

"He thought of everything, provided for everything we could possibly need, letting us in on the plans he took such delight in making. He set it all out before us in Christ, a long-range plan in which everything would be brought together and summed up in him, everything in deepest heaven, everything on planet earth. Its in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for. Long before we first heard of Christ and got our hopes up, he had his eye on us, had designs on us for glorious living, part of the overall purpose he is working out in everything and everyone." -MSG


1. All beings.

2. All dimensions.

3. In union with the Name.

4. Pas = radically means all.

Are our broadest hopes broad enough? Shall there be a nook or abyss, in all the universe of God, finally unlightened by the Cross? Shall there be a sin, or sorrow, or pain unhealed? Is the very universe, is creation in all its extent, a field wide enough for the Son of God?

 

[FineLinen]

"After all, even though we all die, and we're all like water being spilled on the ground that cannot be recovered, nevertheless God doesn't take away life, but carries out his plans so as not to cast away permanently from him those who are presently estranged." -ISV

Restoration =

An act of restoring to a former position & condition.

Return to an unimpaired or improved condition.

"Then I will restore to you the years that the locust swarm devoured, as did the young locust, the other locusts, and the ravaging locust, that great army of mine that I sent among you."

"Heaven must receive him until the time comes for God to restore everything, as he promised long ago through his holy prophets."

 

[FineLinen]

"It wasn’t so long ago that we ourselves were stupid and stubborn, easy marks for sin, ordered every which way by our glands, going around with a chip on our shoulder, hated and hating back. But when God, our kind and loving Savior God, stepped in, he saved us from all that. It was all his doing; we had nothing to do with it. He gave us a good bath, and we came out of it new people, washed inside and out by the Holy Spirit. Our Savior Jesus poured out new life so generously. God’s gift has restored our relationship with him and given us back our lives. And there’s more life to come—an eternity of life! You can count on this. -MSG

"When the extraordinary compassion of God our Savior and his overpowering love suddenly appeared in person, as the brightness of a dawning day, he came to save us. Not because of any virtuous deed that we have done but only because of his extravagant mercy." -TPT

For the creation was made subject to futility, not willingly, but by reason of Him who has so subjected it in hope.

"not willingly" = ou hekōn = of one's own will

The Wilderness Call

Therefore I am now going to allure her; I will lead her into the wilderness and speak tenderly to her. There I will give her back her vineyards, and will make the Valley of Achor a door of hope. There she will respond as in the days of her youth, as in the day she came up out of Egypt. In that day, declares the Lord, you will call me my husband; you will no longer call me my master. I will remove the names of the Baals from her lips; no longer will their names be invoked. I will betroth you to me forever; I will betroth you in righteousness and justice, in love and compassion. I will betroth you in faithfulness, and you will acknowledge the Lord."

Heaven must receive him until the time comes for God to restore everything, as he promised long ago through his holy prophets.

The Lake of Fire

The Lake of Fire is the essence of God. It is not a characteristic of His Being.

The Lake is not hell, (all 4 of them), all consummated in the Lake.

Hells final destination is the Lake of Fire.

The koine Greek defines the Lake with important ingredients, theion and theioo, both of which are rooted in the Source, Theos.

Theion = Divine Fire

The Lake of Fire and Brimstone signifies a fire burning with brimstone; the 'brimstone' or sulphur defines the character of the fire. The Greek word THEION translated 'brimstone' is exactly the same word, THEION, which means 'divine.' -Charles Pridgeon

 

[FineLinen]

"The great voice emanated from a pinpoint of light that swelled with each thunderous word until it hung like a radiant sun just beyond the black wall of mist that formed my prison. Though far more brilliant that the sun, the light soothed my eyes with its deep and pure white luminescence. I sensed that the light could not (or perhaps would not - I wasn't sure) cross the barrier into the darkness. And I knew with complete certainty that I was in the presence of God.

He was a Being of Light, not just radiating light or illuminated from within, but he almost seemed to be made of the light. It was a light that had substance and dimension, the most beautiful, glorious substance that I have ever beheld. All beauty, all love, all goodness were contained in the light that poured forth from this being. But there is nothing that we are even capable of imagining that comes close to the magnitude of perfect love that this being poured into me."

Gods Essence = LIGHT... LOVE... SPIRIT... FIRE...

Ninety Nine Sheep is NOT enough!

What I Believe =

Every one of us, the good, the bad and the ugly face the FIRE of our Glorious God!

Our Father, Abba, is the final destination for the entire creation (clearly defined as the Source, Guide & Goal of the all/ ta panta).

I believe in "the restoration of ALL things, which God has spoken by the mouths of the prophets since the world began." -Acts 3:21-

I believe that the "good tidings of great joy will be to ALL people." -Luke 2:10

I believe that believers in Christ Jesus are "born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor the will of man, but of God." -John 1:13-

I believe that God appointed Jesus Christ "heir of ALL things, and through whom He made the universe." -Hebr. 1:2-

I believe that "no man can come to Christ unless the Father who sent Him draws him." -John 6:44

I believe "God gave Jesus authority over ALL flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as God gave Him." -John 17:2-

I believe the Father "has given ALL things into Jesus' hands." -John 13:3-

I believe that Jesus Christ "was the true light which gives light to every man who come into the world." -John 1:9

I believe that "just as the result of one trespass was condemnation to ALL men, so also the result of one act of righteousness was justification for ALL men." -Romans 5:18

I believe one mans sin "brought condemnation for all mankind." -Romans 5: 19-

I believe one mans righteousness brings "right relationship with God, and new life for everyone." -Romans 5:19-

I believe one mans sin made the whole of mankind sinners. I also believe the righteousness of one Man makes the whole of mankind righteous.

HA! What a great answer!

 

[FineLinen]

The koine theion is the incense of Jehovah and with theioo is rooted in Theos.

The Lake of Fire is the incense of Jehovah rooted firmly in Theos. Make zero mistake: our God is consuming fire; the Limne of Theos is consuming fire in which every last element of sin and iniquity is consumed: every last rotten bit!

The association of fire with purification in both Old and New Covenants is easily traceable. In the Old Testament the prophetic analogy of silver being purified by fire is classically representative of the purification theme of the Bible. St. Paul, gets to the heart of the matter when he writes about every man’s work being tried by fire, yet the man, himself, being saved. NOTE: "saved".

St. John, makes it a point to call the Lake of pur the Lake of Fire, but also of brimstone, which is an old word for sulfur. With sulfur being a common agent of ceremonial purification in temples of worship in ancient times.

Destruction or purification?

Neither Scripture nor science recognizes the destruction of anything in the sense of annihilation, that is, of anything being reduced to a state of absolute nothingness. Destruction does not render anything nonexistent, but rather incapable of carrying out its function, as in the destruction of a tank in warfare. The mass of metal is still there, but it can’t function as a tank any longer. Even if you were to vaporize the tank completely, yet, it’s intrinsic elements would still exist in other forms.

Contrary to conventional theology, all things were not created from nothing, and none of the things that have been created will ever face nonexistence, and by that I mean nonexistence in any form. All created things are subject to change, change in form, but not subject to losing their intrinsic existence.

What we have in the process of purification by fire is, first, a separation of the object of purification from all that defiles it, all that is foreign to it’s intrinsic constitution, and then the removal of the corrupting element.

Theologian Karl Barth

"I do not preach universal salvation, what I say is that I cannot exclude the possibility that God would save all men in Judgment."

"I don't believe in universalism, but I do believe in Jesus Christ, the reconciler of all."

"No one can be saved-in the virtue of what he can do. Everyone can be saved-in virtue of what God can do."

 

[FineLinen]

"When the Messiah arrived, high priest of the superior things of this new covenant, he bypassed the old tent and its trappings in this created world and went straight into heaven’s 'tent'—the true Holy Place—once and for all. He also bypassed the sacrifices consisting of goat and calf blood, instead using his own blood as the price to set us free once and for all. " -MSG

"But now the Anointed One has become the King-Priest of every wonderful thing that has come. For he serves in a greater, more perfect heavenly tabernacle not made by men. And he has entered once and forever into the Holiest Sanctuary of All, not with the blood of animal sacrifices, but the sacred blood of his own sacrifice. And he alone has made our salvation secure forever!" -TPT
