The Key Sayings of Jesus (and of those sent out by him) About Life and Eternal Life. A total of about 300 selections, grouped into twelve areas of life: Salvation, Assurance, Jesus, Humanity, Spiritual Life, Personal Growth, Relationships, God, Revelation, Community, Purpose, and Future..
The Restoration of All Things: Quotes from early Christians who, for the first 500 years, believed that God would eventually restore and reconcile all people and things to himself ... forever!
What Jesus Did and for Whom: Discover all the wonderful things that Jesus did for all humanity! What he did was finished, and who he did it for was everyone!
The Fate of Humanity (Eight weeks; Six guys; Three perspectives): A lengthy but dynamic text group discussion where the big question became: “Does God require belief to exempt humans from being either annihilated or eternally punished?” Three guys answered “yes”. The other three guys answered “no”.
Four Views of Eternal Destiny: There are about four views of what happens to people when they die. But only one view represents the infinite love of God and his success in saving all of humanity.
Stubborn Facts About Hell: The word "hell", with its modern-day definition of "a metaphysical place of never-ending torment" is never found in the original languages of the Bible. The implications are huge!
The Key to Life - Understanding the "New Person" We All are in Jesus: God was in Jesus, reconciling the world to himself, making all people new creations in himself, to live with him forever. This includes you!
Creeds of the Christian Church:
A chronology of the eraliest creeds, demonstrating that “Eternal Punishment”
was not an officially held
belief until 500 AD!
