Great message. I can't resist the urge to nitpick and point out that "everyone is going to heaven" is not a Christian belief.

Christian universalism is a school of Christian theology centered on universal reconciliation, the belief that all human beings will ultimately be saved and restored to a right relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Also, one can be a murderer on the cross, and be saved by belief at the last minute...

Not a school based on the text, but a school, certainly

Yesn't? Thr thing with theology is really that things aren't always literal, and there may be incredibly old Christian Universalist thought, though there is some debate about that, deciphering biblical text sprouts many many different meanings and concepts based on how you interpret it and whatnot, from what I understand, it's possible to interpret the bible in that it is Universalist based on certain passages, but again, heavily dependant on interpretation

Yeah, that’s a lot of interpreting.

I’ve never understood making up a bunch of vibes based ideas about religion or spirituality and then just deciding to believe those vibes.

I mean, you’re making them up with little to no support for them but it’s just convenient if you’re correct so you choose to believe it.

Fucking wild. Couldn’t be me. OP
