I have not studied the teaching of universal reconciliation but try to be
open to, at least be willing, to study teachings. I don't feel qualified to
expand on the subject. The same with other teaching.
"Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to
speak, slow to anger".
James 1:19,
Eccl. 5:2
Many years ago, my dad ordered some song books from a man
going around the country teaching music schools in churches.
In one of the song books was a song I will probably never forget.
Had not seen it before nor since. It was simply titled, "HORNETS"
If a nest of wild hornets were brought to this room and the
critters allowed to go free, You would not need urging to make
yourself scarce, You'd want to get out don't you see.
Cho.
He will not compel you to go, oh, no! He will not compel you to go.
He will not compel you to go gainst your will, He'll just make you
willing to go.
As I was read this thread this song came to my mind. It is not wise
to rush into things, but it might be wise to at least be open and pray
for God to open our understanding to the things HE would have us see.
We think those who have not seen the revelation of the oneness of God
and baptism, sometimes as being close-minded and just don't want to see
it, but we know that if people are open to truth (about anything) God will
reveal it. Jesus said if would ask, it would be given you, seek and you shall
find, knock and the door will be opened.
If Grandma had not listened and looked to see if those things were
true or not, we would have missed out on the greatest experience
we have been priviledged to know.
Just some senior thoughts!
