Universal Salvation/Unitarians teach
that the words "eternal, everlasting, for ever and ever, for ever, forevermore"[#165](aion)
are only for an unspecified "eon" of time, meaning not for eternity.
An age of time, an undetermined temporary
duration of time called an "age, eon, eons, for the eons of the eons
or eonian." But by doing so, in the exact definition of the word,
the denial of their own eternal life is also for an "age or eon." It
also is calling GOD a liar.
Why? The LORD is eternal, literally, without end. It is one
of many attribute's of the LORD.
Because of Revelation 11:15 "..of our Lord, and of his Christ; and
he shall reign for ever[#165](aion) and ever[#165](aion).
That is complete non-sense and a denial of the true everlasting kingdom
of our LORD! Now examine the following three reasons that will
prove the error of Universal Salvation. This is also verified by
scripture. "1Corinthians 15:54 So when this corruptible shall
have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality,..."
A PROBLEM QUESTION FOR UNIVERSALIST'S: How can the attributes of God that are IDENTICAL to the universalist own definition of "endless life" contradict one another without admitting that "everlasting, for ever and ever" are also endless? You cannot honestly deny this! This proves "aion" and also "aionios" to be defined exactly the way our Holy Bible defines "eternal, for ever, everlasting....etc." 2 Timothy 1:10 is the nail in the coffin for the lies of Universalism. Because Jesus Christ "abolished death" and brings "immortality" through the gospel. Romans 2:7 is the believer's "immortality" which is also defined as "eternal life." Jesus Christ ALONE has immortality. Alone. Only Jesus Christ can give incorruption, immortality and eternal endless life. Romans 6:5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
UNIVERSALIST DEFINITION OF ENDLESS
LIFE: "...immortality...incorruptible...eternal
life..."
1Corinthians 15:42 "...incorruption[861](aphtharsia)..."
1Corinthians 15:50 "...incorruption[861](aphtharsia)..."
1Corinthians 15:52 "...incorruptible[862](aphthartos)..."
1Corinthians 15:53 "...incorruption[861](aphtharsia)...immortality[110](athanasia)..."
1Corinthians 15:54 "...incorruption[861](aphtharsia).....immortality[110](athanasia)..."
Romans 2:7 "...To
them who by patient continuance in well doing...immortality[861](aphtharsia),
eternal
life:..."
1Peter 1:4 To an
inheritance incorruptible[862](aphthartos),
and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
1John 3:2 Beloved,
now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be:
but we know that, when he shall appear, we
shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
Romans 6:5 For if
we have been planted together in the likeness
of his death, we shall be also in the likeness
of his resurrection:
GOD'S OWN ATTRIBUTES:
"...immortality...immortal...abolishes
death..."
1Timothy 6:16 "...immortality[110](athanasia)...power
everlasting..."
1Timothy 1:17 "...King eternal...immortal[862](aphthartos)...
the only wise God...for ever and ever[165](aion)..."
2Timothy 1:10 But is now made manifest
by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished
death, and hath brought life and immortality[861](aphtharsia)
to light through the gospel:
Psalms 90:2 "...everlasting to everlasting,
thou [art] God...."
1Kings 8:27 "...But will God indeed dwell
on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain
thee;..."
