After rethinking the Teachings of Jesus, I have come to an understanding of THE ONENESS OF GOD from a view of God being Dad, and have repented from the view point of Duality in all things and moved by The Spirit to not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Therefore I nolonger focus on being double minded in life but single minded as if having The Mind of Christ being One with Dad. This understand has been a New way of accepting being Reconciled to Dad that accepts me as I am but does not allow me to remain in that state but moves me from Glory to Glory thru The ONENESS of GOD IN CHRIST and We all have that IF WE BELIEVE.
Excellent! We must remember that God is Sovereign. The restoration of all things means that the Sovereign God WILL get what he wants. He gets it every single time. Job 42:2 “I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted."
You are on the right track. I believe in Universal Reconciliation and Restoration. Of course you have to be careful who you talk to about it especially in a church due to rejection, persecution, and shunning from former friends. God is worthy of our adoration and praise continuously.
70AD is the new beginning. The new bride is married. Full redemption. New Adam and the new Eve. NEW Covenant= New Heaven and Earth. He works from the inside out. Spiritual Kingdom.
I was a long time listener but have been “elsewhere” to think about things… recently caught a chunk of one of your videos and thought to myself” he’s teaching sorta what I have been thinking” this video confirms it… thank you… gutsy by some standards but truth is truth…Love ya brother..
I have been listening to the works of Swedenborg and the knowledge he was granted. God loves his children and all experience the afterlife with the mindset they have on earth. That those who strive for love and knowledge will find heaven, for those who strive for earthly riches and condemnation of others will live in the hell of their own mind and choices. They will be allowed education to enlighten them to a path out of their own hell into the light of love and knowledge.
Firstly read the passage in context. Acts 3:23 is part of that passage and there Peter uses the words”utterly destroyed”. To take Acts 3:21 singularly without 3:23 will lead one perhaps in a not good direction.
Acts 3:23 uses the word exolethreuthesetai #1842 and it’s quoting Moses so look up the Hebrew word. So if you just take the one verse and not read the whole passage one could believe in universalism. But Peter uses the word “utterly destroyed” which means annihilated. Overwhelmingly in the Old Covenant that is repeated - that folk who are not believers are annihilated. It’s overwhelming repeated. So just taking the repeatedness of annihilation in the OC one would probably think that’s what God does. Similarly John 3:16, Phillipians 3:19 “ their end is destruction” - of course the afterlife is not even a main emphasis in the Bible - right now is.
And also the restoration was in 70ad as that was the end times. God loves babies and will forever want more babies as that’s one of the first things He says He wants in Genesis 1. “be fruitful and multiply”.
Again read Acts 3:21 in context of 3:23 “utterly destroyed” - If this restoration of all things was so important it would have been repeated a lot. Whatever is important to the Lord is repeated a lot in the 1800 pages of Scriptures. If one wants to be deductive about anything in scriptures they can find it. I hope all get born again but Scripture moreso uses words describing annihilation. And that’s fine, people are dead unless they get born again, Ephesians 2:1. Right now enjoying the Abundant Life is the main thing! The afterlife rabbit trails obsessions is a useless detour.
The problem is universalizimg the word ALL to mean more than it would mean to the original audience. Do you think Jesus reconciled the photons emitted by some distant star to himself on the cross? Non livimg nature was never at enmity with God.

I love that me too 😊❤
I concur with your statement… thank you
Such a great thought provoking lesson Paul. I wish we could stop arguing and participate in being ambassadors of reconciliation instead. ❤️❤️❤️
Amen. Dare to believe. Dare to trust in Gods goodness toward man

I so appreciate you my friend!😊

A lot to chew on here.
