My point is, what you hold as absolute truth, may only be truth from your point of view only.
Our individual lives are like movie screenings where we are the main protagonist, and the others who oppose us are automatically the antagonist
Others may disagree because they view the same issue differently.
And they could be correct. From their own movie screening, they are the main protagonist, and we happen to be the antagonist

Yeah, I see it different.....all is conclusive of all when applied to men....The bible is very precise and if a particular audience, race or creed (saved/lost) is implied it is made obvious by the text.
My view....EVERY man will bow before the Lord and confess to the glory of God and acknowledge Christ as Lord, Christ anf God....he draws ALL MEN before his throne. Obviously the saved are received and the lost will be cast AFTER THEY CONFESS.
All men = ALL MEN!

So you make a claim and cannot support it.
Many of his ideas were indeed heretical... btw.
You seem to have a similar dogma

I have no dogma. I am not hung up on things that don't matter like some here are.

Interesting point you made there. I can imagine two types of Jews on the Passover night in Egypt.
Some put their trust in the lamb blood, and just relax and enjoy the night, confident that it is sufficient.
Other Jews are more paranoid and try to help the blood with their works, praying, fasting, singing non stop to God.
In the end both houses first born are still saved because, as the main dominant view of this particular thread goes, the blood at their doorpost was sufficient.
That is how I view this never ending argument about faith alone or faith and works for salvation. 🤗

I hold Jesus to be the absolute Truth. If you do not? You are an enemy of God. Is that my opinion? It is what the Bible explicitly states. I posted the verse and asked you about it, though you went off on a tangent about opinions. If you do not believe the Bible, and what Jesus says about Himself, why would you call yourself a Christian? "You" in the general sense...
