  • 🔥 Why Eternal Damnation is Impossible (An Apologetic for Universal Restoration)

    1. All Things Come from God Scripture is unambiguous: All Things come from God: “All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.” (John 1:3) All things that exist only exist through God:“For in Him we live and move and have our being.” (Acts…


  • 🔥 Jesus the Judge Who Forgives

    “The Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son.”— John 5:22 When we hear the word judgment, most of us picture a courtroom: stern faces, evidence laid bare, a gavel striking with finality. We brace for sentencing, for the punishment that will fall on the guilty. And so when Scripture tells…


  • 🔥 The Invalid Contract of Hell

    If God is love, then hell as an eternal contract cannot exist — because no valid contract can be signed in ignorance. We are told that hell is the consequence of rejecting God. But for a rejection to be binding, it would have to meet the same conditions we demand of any serious agreement: full…


  • 🔥 The Gospel Reframed: Salvation for Sinners, Not the Righteous

    When Jesus said, “I came not to call the righteous, but sinners” (Mark 2:17), he was not dividing humanity into two eternal classes. He was describing two states of awareness.

  • 🔥 A Rebuttal to the Atheist: Defining God by the Ineffable

    The Failure of Definitions Almost every argument between a believer and an atheist breaks down before it even begins, because the word God is left undefined. One person imagines a bearded old man in the clouds, another imagines an impersonal cosmic force, and the third imagines nothing at all. We then argue endlessly about these…

  • 🔥 The Cross as the Inversion of Guilt and the Revelation of Grace

    If God is the coming-into-being of all things — not a static being but the very happening of existence itself — then the story of Christ is not an interruption of that flow but its deepest revelation. From the beginning, God had already accounted for our failures. That’s what it means when Scripture says Christ…


  • 🔥The Argument Against Eternal Hell

    Steven Daniel Schultz If God is love, then eternal hell is a contradiction in terms. Love by definition cannot cease to forgive, because forgiveness is the very essence of love. To posit that God could withhold forgiveness forever is to posit that, at some arbitrary cut-off point, God could cease to love us, causing Him…
