Fifteen Bombs That Sank My Theological Ship
V.E. Jacobson
The following is taking from the URQA (Universal Reconciliation Questions and Answers) website. It is my objective to clarify from Scripture that these fifteen points of why Universal Reconciliation is believed is not a proper understanding of Scripture.
I will state Scripture, and if you disagree, likewise quote Scripture. Otherwise, your words have no back-support, and would seem to be words of folly.
To those certain ones who do not list Scripture, but simply damn those who do, to what purpose do you suppose your condemnation fulfill if not to your own hurt?
V.E. Jacobson Point 2:
If Christ is the propitiation for the sins of the whole world, did He die in vain for the lost (I John 2:2)?
Refutel:
He is indeed the propitiation for the sins of the whole world. It is the offering of Himself which produced the possibility of having an atonement for sins. But, if one refuses to accept the only appeasing atonement which is pleasing to God, then there is no reconciliation for that individual. Seeing that the covering-up of sins in the OT only occured with a shedding of blood sacrifice. And if one did not offer the manatory sacrifice, then that one's sins were not cover-up (Lev 4:20, 26, 35, 5:10, 13, 19:22, Num 15:25).
But, to they of faith in his blood, He is that propitiation. Only through Him being one's propitiation is there remission of sins that are past. (Rom 3:25) Heb 2:17 tells us that it behooved Him to be made like unto His brethern, but before we can define "the people" at the end of this verse, we must first know who are these "bretherns". We do not have to look far to see that it is those who are from "the seed of Abraham" (Heb 2:16), those who are being sanctified (Heb 2:11). It is these people who are the "sons" who are to be brought into glory. (Heb 2:10) It is because of these children (sons) that He took upon Himself flesh. (Heb 2:14) So, it is such people who shall receive reconciliation from their sins in Heb 2:17.
Indeed, we who live through the Son, do have a propitition (1Jn 4:9-10). It is those who confess that Jesus is the Son of God which God lives in (1Jn 4:15). Now, he who has not the Son, neither has the Father (1Jn 2:23), and he who has not the Father has not been reconciled because he has not accepted God's only acceptable propitition. It is only those who believe and have the Son who has eternal life (Joh 3:16, 1Jn 5:12).
