I reckon that I am deceived about a great many things. How about you? Is your understanding of everything complete and infallible? Does our loving, merciful, God roast those that have a slight misunderstanding?

Why do you talk like that?
  1. Was God wrong or evil to do what He did in Sodom and Gommorrah and the other 3 cities back in the day?
  2. Was God wrong or evil to do what He did in Noah's day apart from 8 souls?
  3. Was God wrong or evil to do what He did in 1 Samuel 15 destroying men women and children?
Did that stop Him being loving and merciful?

I'm sharing God's word; you're sharing Merriam-Webster.

You never answered my question.

Here's another. What does this mean to you?

Lamentations 3:31
For the Lord will not cast off forever,
Romans 16:17KJV
17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.

You are very selective in your quotes and totally butchering what you do quote.
Zechariah 14:1 (The Day Of The Lord) comes to mind sound familiar, in false claims it has no relationship to 2 Peter 3:10 (The Day Of The Lord) "False"

It really means it's a 2,000 year long (Day Of The Lord) stretching from the first advent to the second coming, as Pinocchio's nose grows

Your theology makes Jesus a liar.
That's harsh.

If Jesus doesn't save the whole world then he is NOT the "savior" of the whole world.

What does this mean? Did Paul fail to include the part that this verse is only true for those who willingly go to Jesus?

Romans 5:18 Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men.

I'm causing division? I'm not the one calling fellow believers "heretics".

I didn't question any of that. You asked if I am deceived. I confessed that I am undoubtedly "deceived" about many things. I asked if your understanding is complete and infallible and you declined to answer. So be it.

I envision the following.

Christians go to Heaven and, upon meeting Jesus, they ask him if this person or that person will make it to God's kingdom. Jesus responds that everybody will eventually make it, to which the Christians then rebuke Jesus and tell him he's wrong and a heretic.

When you give them God's word and they reject it, the only recourse is to shake the sand and move on to more fruitful exchanges.

2 Corinthians 5:19 that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.

Do you believe Satan and the fallen angels will be forgiven also?
Absolutely. I believe they are doing exactly as God intended them to do. After all, a good tree cannot produce bad fruit. Satan and the fallen angels torment (test) us for the purpose of our spiritual development, education, and edification. I believe God transformed them to perform this task and that, in the end, they will be thrown into the Lake of Fire to be restored to perfection.

Satan and the fallen angels will be restored to perfection?

Beyond heresy, evil IMHO

Please refrain from calling Truth7t7 brother, thanks!

1 John 4:20
If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.

Revelation 21:5 And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”

That's what it says.

It does not say that. This world won't be saved, it is destroyed by fire and a New Earth will exist. The unsaved people of this world will also not be saved, but will also be destroyed but no life in the new Earth for them.

The verse is referring to the PEOPLE of the world, not the planet itself. And of course they will be saved because it is God's will and promise.

No, it is not. You always avoid the fact that Jesus said few will find life, but most will find destruction. You ignore that all not in the book of life go to the LOF and not one verse says anyone flys out of it later on.

At this point Jesus could materialize before you and tell you that all will be with God and I'm confident that you would tell Jesus that he is wrong.
