Do the Scriptures teach universal redemption or universal salvation, or do they teach both?

I don't think so. Adam walked with God but He was still a natural man, made of the dust of this earth. First
comes the natural, and then comes the Spiritual. He was in need of a Spiritual birth the same way we are.

The same as Adam, obeying God??? Wow. Adam disobeyed God! Which, btw, is natural for a natural man to do.

You seem to think that man can perfectly keep God's commands. We would not need Jesus if that were so.

I take your response to be saying, "yes, I do believe that we should have a legal relationship with God." Am I understanding you correctly? I certainly think I do, and my response to that is, that you simply don't understand the gospel. We're saved by the grace of God, not by obedience to the law. I believe what the apostle Paul wrote: "we maintain that a man is justified by faith, apart from works of the law." What exactly do you think he means by this?

I seem to keep hearing undertones insinuating it's not about obedience.
Let's let the Word clarify that.
Acts 5:29 English Standard Version
But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men.
Philippians 2:12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling,
2 Thessalonians 3:14 If anyone does not obey what we say in this letter, take note of that person, and have nothing to do with him, that he may be ashamed.

I won't post the other couple of dozen scriptures unless I have to.

Do the Scriptures teach universal redemption or universal salvation, or do they teach both?

Hmmmmm... I'm going to have to go with...

none of the above.

We all have a universal choice to make: What shall we do about Jesus.

He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. John 3:18 (KJV)

Since you posted this directly after mine, I take it you were talking about my post, in which I said:
So your response begs the question, do you also see your relationship to God based on obedience to the law? (it looks like you do, given your response). Do you think a person is saved and gets eternal life because they obey the 10 commandments?

Do the Scriptures teach universal redemption or universal salvation, or do they teach both?

NO ---definitely not ------definition of universal redemption ot universal salvation

In Christian theology, universal reconciliation (also called universal salvation, Christian universalism, or in context simply universalism) is the doctrine that all sinful and alienated human souls—because of divine love and mercy—will ultimately be reconciled to God.

God Loves all of His Creation -----with all our Sinful selves ------God still loves us ---God never abandons His Creation ----We are the ones who abandon God -----

Adam was a type of Christ -----Adam was the one in charge of the Garden ----He named all the animals and creepy things as well as the fish of the sea etc ------Eve was created to be Adams helper -----Eve was not in Charge ---Adam was ---Eve was deceived by the serpent ------Adam took willingly the fruit from his wife -----God could have physically killed them both right there and then ---but He didn't ----By his Love and Mercy he spared their lives and gave them Curses instead ------

Romans 5 AMP --

14 Yet death ruled [over mankind] from Adam to Moses [the Lawgiver], even over those who had not sinned [c]as Adam did. Adam is a type of Him (Christ) who was to come [but in reverse—Adam brought destruction, Christ brought salvation].


Salvation Comes by us having Faith in Christ and what He did on the Cross --------God's love will not Save you __FOLKS ---

You Do Not Go to Hell now for your sins -----you go to hell now for Rejecting Jesus ----who paid the price for all Sin ------by shedding His Blood to cover sin forever -----for those who RECEIVE Him by Faith in their hearts

Without Receiving Jesus in your heart who shed His Blood to cover all sin for all people --you are doomed ----

If you reject Jesus who is God the Son --then you Reject God the Father and you then have no recourse for entering Eternal LIFE -----your going to eternal torment ----you will be Separated from God forever ----


People who are Peddling this Universal Redemption and Universal Salvation are Peddling False Doctrine --
Hebrews 9 AMP

AMP
In fact under the Law almost everything is cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness [neither release from sin and its guilt, nor cancellation of the merited punishment].

There wouldn't be a need for a spiritual birth had Adam obeyed. The earth would be filled with perfect humanity. The spiritual birth, the New Creation was created for a purpose, without sin, that purpose wouldn't be needed.

The Bible teaching us that pray for all to be saved.
If the Bible is not to save everyone, why preach?

Soooo ... God created an imperfect being?

Adam was not perfect in your assessment, likely. He was sinless, though, which meant that his will was submitted to God and aligned with His. But Adam fell out of God's direction and care when he sinned, and that was his own doing. So he was at first sinless, but not divine. When he was tempted, he sinned, so in that regard he wasn't as perfect as perhaps you want. Jesus didn't sin when He was tempted because of His divinity. Does that help clarify?

We must respond to the call of God. We must follow Jesus in the here and now. Those who reject the Son of God will be condemned. Pretty simple.

The scriptures teach no such thing.

It is people WANTING to read this into scripture that attempt to teach it.

Well...specifically;
....." some things are reserved for our Father's knowledge only"....
....."it shall be revealed in due time".

What post are you addressing?

The question in the title.

I don't think we should take the words of Revelation to say God's redemption alone. It's taken out of context. God wants everyone to repent. Even if God knows the result, he hasn't given up anyone. We need to understand this.

Your thought is not clear;....alone for what?

When I say this, the answer I get from God is that all can be saved, but not by people preaching, but by God's power and wisdom. At first I was also surprised why the answer God gave me was inconsistent with the revelation.

I know a sinner. I know his sin. He died many years ago. Then one day, I suddenly heard his voice in my ear. I think it is from heaven, and he is not a Christian. At first, I wondered why. I thought for a long time. My conclusion is that God wants to inspire my position and view on some issues through him.

You may say that you doubt whether the evil spirit is testing me. I said so. At that time, my reaction was that how can such a person enter the kingdom of heaven? He should go to hell! Then the sinner wanted to end his life because of my point of view. I regret what I thought now. I don't know if he really gave up his life. But Jesus said that those who gave up their life gained life instead.
