Bad Arguments for Universalism

Here comes a big statement that I figure I’ll make whilst this blog is still struggling back to life and has few readers: I don’t think becoming a universalist makes one a heretic. Take a deep breath. Another. Another. Good. Let me proceed. I mean specifically a Christian universalism. It’s the mino
