There is the lie and twisting of the Scripture in bold.... Then what universalism teaches, that the blood of Christ was for nothing !!!

No, Curly, the blood of Christ is necessary for any and for all to be restored to the Father. No one would be reconciled to the Father without the blood. Look at this, Curly. God will have all to be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth. This is God's determined will. Now, if God accomplishes His will that all be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth,
does this mean that the blood of His Son is for nothing? Jesus is the Way and the Only Way
Quote:
The Scripture teach that God is a loving God and His mercy does not force anyone one to love Him.....

God who has all power will convince and win all to Himself, Curly. Jesus Himself said that He would
draw (drag) all to Himself. God will
subject all to Himself so that He may be all in all. (1 Corinthians 15) One who is subjected is under the
authority of someone else. God is able to
subdue all things to Himself. He can do it and He will do it. No one will reject Him forever. Please check all previous scriptural references.
Love opens eyes and sets captives free, Curly. It does not prepare an eternal hell for those who are said to be blinded, lost, and deceived. Love does what is best for those who are loved and God loves all mankind, even those who reject Him now.
Psalms 22:
27. All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD,
And all the families of the nations will worship before You.
28. For the kingdom is the LORD'S
And He rules over the nations.
29. All the prosperous of the earth will eat and worship,
All those who go down to the dust will bow before Him,
Even he who cannot keep his soul alive
Psalms 66
4. "All the earth will worship You,
And will sing praises to You;
They will sing praises to Your name." Selah
Psalms 68:18
You have ascended on high, You have led captive Your captives;
You have received gifts among men,
Even among the rebellious also, that the LORD God may dwell there
Isaiah 25:6-8
The LORD of hosts will prepare a lavish banquet for all peoples on this mountain;
A banquet of aged wine, choice pieces with marrow,
And refined, aged wine.
7. And on this mountain He will swallow up the covering which is over all peoples,
Even the veil which is stretched over all nations.
8. He will swallow up death for all time,
And the Lord GOD will wipe tears away from all faces,
And He will remove the reproach of His people from all the earth;
For the LORD has spoken

He gives each and everyone of us understanding that we can either receive His love now or throw it away. He permits all to make that decision,....regardless what universalism teach!!

It was His good pleasure to reconcile all to Himself, Curly. The decision is
His, not ours. We are the work of
His hands. We may reject Him temporarily, however eventually every knee will bow in worship before Him and every tongue will confess/proclaim/give thanks to the Creator of all. It's all right there. All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to Him. He works all things according to the counsel of
His will.

This teaching of universalism is just another tool of Satan....teaching and denying the cross of Christ...forgiveness is through the BLOOD!!! Without the BLOOD no person will escape the punishment that is coming from the rebellion of sin!!
That is why one needs the Holy Spirit to keep and lead them into the TRUTH. He reveals the dark crafty lies of Satan...or they will be tossed to and fro with every teaching that denies Jesus Christ, Him crucified. Forgiveness is given through the BLOOD! It covers my sin and anyone else who will receive Christ Jesus into their life.....

Christian Universalism does not deny the cross of Jesus. It was God's good pleasure to reconcile all to Himself having made
peace through the blood of His cross. (See Colossians 1)
Amen.
