What might be translated 'that way'? Do you read and translate Greek? Universalism is nowhere taught in Scripture, and is directly contradicted by about 99 million verses.

YOU don't think *I* can 'escape God'? You're right, none of us can - including you. And we will all be judged by the WORD.

I just doubt that any of the rituals you might consider essential actually have anything to do with the Kingdom, wherein lies the rub

No rub, just you doubt certain parts of Scripture mean what they say. 'He that believeth and is baptised shall be saved'. That's what Jesus said, but you 'doubt' that has anything to do with the kingdom. Sorry, but I and most people here put more stock in what Jesus said than in your 'doubts'.

if you have an opinion on that interpretation that isn't dismissive, seeing as how "might" and "possibly" are so entwined, then b.a.m. share it

What interpretation? You seem to make stuff up as you go along, and the only thing I have seen from you in any consistent manner is your persistence in believing Christians are lost and Muslims are saved. Which tells me you aren't getting any of your ideas from the Bible, or from any attempt to 'follow Jesus', but instead you just don't like Christians, America, or Americans in general, so NOTHING they say has any impact on you unless it agrees with your 'Christians are bad, Americans are bad, everyone else is gooooooood' meme.
