Jesus speaks about the “renewal of all” in Matthew 19:28, Peter speaks of the “restoration of all” in Acts 3:21, and Paul writes about the “reconciliation of all” in Colossians 1:20…
However, these passages are barely known let alone taught about in the Western Church.
Why? Because perhaps they directly challenge the presuppositions and assumptions of what the Gospel is, and how many people’s understanding of the faith is focused on tribalism and destruction… which isn’t really Good News, anyways.
After feeling confined and not allowed to talk about these passages and ask questions about them, I decided to do my own self-study… and what I discovered was marvelous and beautiful.
So I made my discovery into a class. A number of the videos are already up for FREE as a taster, the rest just take the content deeper and further. I sincerely hope you are intrigued to get the rest and to find yourself liberated into a better understanding of the Good News.

Excellent dear brother. Thank you Lord! The Faith Hope and Love of God definitely remains for ALL to enjoy! No small wonder Paul calls this Gospel glorious!
Thanks! Have a great day!
That God may be all in all...
PREACH.
It is so good to see a fellow Christian get who Yahweh is . I keep being told That it is heretical to think that Yahweh will restore all things. I feel the church of today has done the same thing the Jews did , they have created a system that must be followed and if Jesus showed up again they would try to crucify him again. I am so glad to see others who have found the narrow gate that understands all that Jesus is. He is the savior of the world not just a partial or potential savior.
Thanks Jeff! Nice to “meet” you, have a great day!
He will save all who believe! Those who don't will be damned! Stalin Hitler. Extreme examples. But all who reject jesus
@@garrygull8354 consider this ,every knee bows every tongue confesses Jesus is Lord. Aren’t they all believers at that point? Consider judgment or being damned isn’t the end, but rather a corrective chastisement. ❤

There is a cutoff date for free forgivness. Prior to what is known as tribulation people can be justified freely by faith alone. Once the tribulation period starts people have sinned away grace and must be faithful unto death to be forgiven by rejecting the 666 or refusing to become a part of the global economic system that revelation13 says you won't be able to conduct commerce without this mark. It goes on to say if you recieve this mark you'll be eternally damned. Trust Jesus before the tribulation starts. Once for all sins at Calvary! He is the satisfaction for our sins! His payment! Cancelled our debt
Wow! The Lord pointed out to me that He had me watch you talking about Acts 3:19-21, from 3:19am to 3:21am on the clock. His timing is so precise! I was just watching it, and He said to look at the clock.
Holy Moly, that’s cool!
Glory to God, Jesus is the Saviour of the world, not just the elect. Hallelujah.
Of the whole cosmos!
Great video. I love when preachers have their own revelation of just how amazing Gods Grace (Jesus) really is!!!!! Almost as if the powers of the Church want to limit God to empower themselves..........
Thank you!
Excellent .. thank you. A very clear presentation of much ignored truth ..
Thanks! Have a great day!
Love you!
Btw: Shortest proof ever: God ist the Beginning and the End!
Have a great day!
Thanksfor conveying the plain words on the page, which clarely is in opposition to what we have been told by the Tradition and Christendom at large!
Fascinatingly enough, there have been people in every generation who re-discover this and preach it!
it is almost like you are trying to say 'all' ....actually mean ALL!! haha...love it
You got that right!
Thank you so much for making videos like this. This is unbelievably scholarly and amazing. God bless.
Glad you enjoy it! Thank you so much for taking the time to say that!
1 Timothy 4:10 - The New International Version (NIV)
10 That is why we labor and strive, because we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all people, and especially of those who believe.
1 Cor 15:22
for even as in Adam all die, so also in the Christ all shall be made alive
1 John 2:2
New International Version
2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.
Yep. You get it.
@@JohnChaffeeTalks God bless you brother!
It's rare, but it's out there. Scott Hicko & Martin Zender are two examples. Its great that you see this.
Thanks! Have a great day!
Thank you sir. I am really looking forward to this study with you.
Thank you and have a great day, Jay!
This is what happens when you take the scriptures seriously. Especially when you take the notion that Ephesians is often said to be a Circular Epistle or letter, meant to be presented to every ear. Eye and tongue and at 3:14 Paul appears to be praying tat we all would Drill down deep, and wide, and long and high, into God's LOVE in Christ. When we do this, over time we will see, revealed to us that wouldn't leave amy of his creation in outer darkness, forever! PTL.
I agree with you whole heartedly!
Within a similar context, here is another example of how some translations render the Greek verb [exomologeo]:-
Romans 14:11:- For it is written: “As I live, says the Lord, to me every knee Will bow, and every tongue will give [praise/exomologeo] to God” [NASB]
That was a refreshing presentation!
Peace
Thanks! Have a great day!
I'm really enjoying listening to your teaching. ❤
Glad you enjoy it! Have a wonderful day!
Great teaching. Thanks John.
Thank you!
Thank you so much for your well articulated defense of universalism.
I always found the idea of hell too terrifying and dark to believe. The very idea turned me off from organizing religion and made me embrace Desist.
I couldn’t imagine or truly accept the view that billions of people would be endlessly tormented and tortured simply for not being Christian.
Hell filled me with dread and sadness, not just for myself but for all people I would never even meet.
But it makes perfect sense for a loving God to work out a restoration of all things.
I hope this view grows.
Thanks again for your video.
Thank you, Ryan!
I just found your channel from being on reddit christian universalism
Nice to meet you, David!
@@JohnChaffeeTalks thanks I look forward to seeing more of your videos
Apokatastasis means (from 600 /apokathístēmi, "restore") - restitution, referring to the "restoration of the physical earth in the Messianic kingdom (Millennium)" (G. Archer). The verses point to the kingdom of God..
John, check out Peter Hiett's sermon on Romans 11
Peter is a man worth listening to, believe the Gospel.
I'll check him out!
nice work brother, some will say humans are not things to try to wiggle out what would you say to them?
The word for "all" is often translated as "all things". Panton. However, it could also more accurately be translated as "the complete whole."
The verse from Isaiah is stronger than the verse in Philippians, it says every knee WILL bow, whereas Philippians says SHOULD bow.
I'll have to take a deeper look at it in Hebrew!
I came across this train of thought some time ago now. I'm no Grammarian or Greek scholar so I certainly don't profess to know it all, but I may be able to help further your understanding concerning the scope of Paul's words at Phillip 2:10-11. In Greek grammar there are certain “moods” [I.e.] the indicative, subjunctive, optative, and imperative. For instance, the indicative mood tells us that an event is “certain”, unlike the subjective mood that is telling us that an event is “uncertain”. In other words, the subjective mood is often used to express something that might or should happen [i.e.] a wish, hope, expectation etc….
Yet, it must be noted that there are many cases within the scriptures where the subjunctive mood is used in conjunction with something called a “purpose clause" which then makes it read more like something written in the indicative mood [i.e.] something that is “certain” to happen, simply because God purposes it. I can't fully explain it because I don't know the Greek language but I can show you some scriptural examples of what I mean:-
Ephesians 3:10:- >[so that]< the manifold wisdom of God >[might/should]< now be made known through the church to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly places.
In the above scripture the highlighted words >[so that]< make the clause purposeful and the word >[might/should]< is being used in the context of something that has happened and was always going to happen.
John 3:16:- For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, >[so that]< everyone who believes in him might not perish but >[might/should ]< have eternal life.
Again, in the above scripture the words >[so that]< make the clause purposeful and the word >[might/should ]< is used in the context of something that will happen. Therefore, as follows, this same reasoning can be applied to Philip 2:10-11:-
>[so that]< at the name of Jesus every knee >[should/might]< bow and every tongue etc…
With the above reasoning in mind, I would say that Paul elaborates on the words of of Isaiah even further. Paul included those in heaven and under the earth. Hope this helps :)
Peace

Matthew 25:46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment.
καὶ ἀπελεύσονται οὗτοι εἰς *κόλασιν αἰώνιον* .
the Liddell, Scott, Jones Ancient Greek Lexicon (LJS) FOR THE 2 BOLDED WORDS says alot:
κόλᾰσῐς (kólasis) 1. A checking the growth of trees, esp. almond-trees. 2. chastisement, correction; of divine retribution.
αἰώνιος (aionious) lasting for an age (αἰών II), perpetual, eternal.
The cited verses of the Scriptures shown for LSJ definition of αἰώνιος demonstrate the dual nature of the word:
Romans 16:26 the eternal God ; Genesis 9:16 the rainbow as a reminder of the everlasting covenant ;
Exodus 27:21 tending the lamps outside the veil in the Temple is a permanent statute for the Israelites for the generations to come.
Original languages and primary sources, for the win!
Hey my friend I just wanted to let you know that you're the only thing I've listen to 5000 sermons because I'm at work and self-employed and all I had to do all day was listen to sermons because I worked on my own so many sermons I've never once heard what you're saying there that God is going to restore everything and even the rebellious know I'm afraid to say and it tears me to stay for those people that they will be in Hell forever they will be a spectacle for the righteous a place where the worm Never Dies does it say for a time it's forever anyways one thing I've learned and I would give you the same advice as same to all my brothers and sisters is don't be wise in your own eyes God bless you my brother
Thank you for your kind words!
YOYU MISSED THE WHOLE POINT , SO YU LISTENDED TO 5000 SERMONS, AND YOU HAVE NOT YET HEARD ?
Does anyone in the internet know of an Christian Oneness Universalist theologian who is on the internet who does Not believe in the Trinity but believes in Oneness Universalism can you write me?
This is not a method of exegesis found anywhere in the Christian world. Universalism has also been rejected by the Christian Orthodoxy for 2,000 years. Where do you get that _all things_ means _all people?_ Finally, Jesus clearly taught that few will be saved.
This is inaccurate. Check out the Cappadocians, the early Church Fathers, the Desert Monastics, etc. Specifically check out Gregory of Nyssa, Isaac of Nineveh, Maximus the Confessor, Macrina the Younger, Julian of Norwich, Teresa of Avila. The Western Church has largely followed in the footsteps of Augustine, who did not work from the original Greek language of the NT, and that set up the West to follow a train of thought it was never intended to have. You are welcome to buy the class and then let me know what you think! whatisthegospel.johnchaffee.com
@@JohnChaffeeTalksThe Eastern Church has roundly rejected universalism.
@@tr5392 There are smarter people out there who might be able to give a more nuanced answer, but here is what I would say: Maximus would likely agree with the general idea of the restoration of all things, but he would go about getting to that perspective from a different angle than other patristic figures might. As I understand Maximus, his understanding of the Christ as the Logos is the most sophisticated of all, and for him the Logos is deeply present in everything and therefore nothing is beyond the scope of God's reconciliation.
@@bradleyperry1735 Is that correct?
Did he? So all actually means some or a few. If that is the case language becomes redundant and communication impossible. Universalism has been broadly rejected for 1500 years but there are early Church Fathers who clearly believed it.
FYΙ, that etymological breakdown of ἀποκατάστασις wasn't correct. The relevant sense of ἀπό in this compound isn't "away, separate from"; nor is the sense of κατά "against" here.
ἀποκατάστασις derives of course from verbal ἀπό + καθίστημι, where the latter denotes setting down or establishing something. The relevant sense of the prefix ἀπό in ἀποκαθίστημι has to do with a return or repetition; and together the compound is similar to ἀποδίδωμι, meaning to give back or repay. ἀποκαθίστημι, therefore, simply means to "re-establish" or "restore," and ἀποκατάστασις is the nominal form of such a restoration. Nothing to do with "away from" or "against" anything.
Thank you for your thoughts, neuroendocrinologist!
Here is a quick glance at απο from Bill Mounce...
www.billmounce.com/greek-dictionary/apo
@@JohnChaffeeTalks The thing is that looking at ἀπό in and of itself doesn't help us much. The notion of return is rather semantically complex, and we don't see ἀπό on its own functioning to denote this. This is a pretty well-known aspect of Greek morphology where we see a particular nuance of a preposition mainly or even exclusively in how it's used as a prefix in a compound.
Other prepositions are similar, too. For example, we might think of ἀνά as "up" (cf. ἄνω) or "among/between." But - similar to ἀπό in ἀποκαθίστημι - in something like ἀναγεννάω (cf. 1 Peter 1), it means "again": to be born again.
I hope the scripture means all jews and gentiles, but in context, it sounds like he is only talking about Israel.
I think once you get to Romans 11:32 you can help but translate “all” as anything other than “all Jews and Gentiles.” Most English translations downplay the universality of the Gospel, but the Greek actually tilts more in favor of “all” being ALL.
