Given the logic of universalists, why aren't all men repenting as God has commanded?
Prove the Opening Post False then. If you cannot Explain with some common sense that what I have written in the Opening Post is False then you must concede that it is true.

Remember you Cannot be The Savior of Something unless so Actually Save that Something.
Striving4God the english language changes when you become a christian .
Savior does not mean Savior as we know it , it means he's the potential savior , All doesn't mean all it means only a few , love your enemies means we should love them but God hates His enemies . And we wonder why christianity is rejected .

I do noticed how your OP is lacking verses and even the one I am replying to.

Show the verse that supports exactly what you are saying without taking it out of context.
1 John 4:14
And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.

Not only that but he seeks the lost until He finds them ( Never quits, or stops searching until they are found.

Then you're as just as false....you have not Explained with some common sense that what you have written in the Opening Post is True

It's amazing the demand for proof from UR's...where has that been said before?

John 2:18
Then the Jews demanded of him, "What miraculous sign can you show us to prove your authority to do all this?"

Jesus said "never will enter the kingdom ".....

Luke 13:3
"I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish."

Now this is a perfect example of a verse actually taken out of context.

How does this prove anything? Amazing how UR's take one simple verse and add their own spin to it. What does this verse really say? What else is said in relation to this verse?

Yes, Jesus was sent to be the Savior of the world but not all of the world accepts Him do they? As it PLAINLY says right here:

1 John 4:13-15

13We know that we live in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.
14And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.
15If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God.

See how you took this one verse completely out of context? What does it say here in verse 15? IF ANYONE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD!! The entire world is not going to be saved, only those who acknowledge and accept Jesus Christ.

Good grief, how many times do we have to keep going around this mountain?
