Most of the objections I receive challenging the belief that God is the Saviour of the whole world through Jesus come from mainstream Christians who have been taught that the fate of unbelievers is eternal torment in hell.
Years ago, when I thought I was all alone in this Universal Reconciliation space, I was never eager to press the point, just gently mention it and let it fall and take root wherever and whenever it might.
But these days, I am much more confident (have even been asked to not attend two churches while holding such a belief in case I infected others) and have answered all challenges offered (so far) using the Biblical evidence with which readers of this BLOG have become familiar.
And I have written a structured essay answering these objections and published it in the Downloads section of my website https://www.ibtechservices.com.au.
I have also taken seriously Paul's admonition to become Christ's ambassador of this wonderful news:
For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation. So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us.
[2 Corinthians 5 : 19, 20 NLT]
Clearly, to be faithful to my calling, I am to be Christ's ambassador with this wonderful news of Jesus' success on the cross 2000 years ago.
That's an interesting job description, isn't it?
What a privilege ... and what a responsibility!
Blessings, Barry
