UNIVERSAL SALVATION
musicman:
Yea, they pretty much covered it above. Dean, I think all of Rays articals talk about salvation of all. The question shouldn't be: "can God save everyone if we all had a free will" because only one of those is even possible.
One last time. It is impossible for anyone to have a free will. Not even God can have a free will. His acts in creation are caused by His will. He did not create His own will. I am caused by many outside influences to type this. I did not freely choose to do it though.
If you scratch your nose, why did you do it? What? It was itching. Well, why did you make your nose itch? You didn't!! But the cause of your choice to scratch your nose was because it itched. Why does God choose to save us all? Because it is His will which causes His choice to save us. It's not free though man. It just isn't.

Dean,
I have never believed in limited atonement, although, I had attended the worldly church (extreme contention) for over twenty-five years. It has been a breath of fresh air to see others, like yourself, who seek the truth.
The Holy Spirit led me here, as well – "like a seal that needed to come to shore to rest from the vast sea of sharks!"
Rays teachings are an excellent place to start, and I concur with Josh.
Also, there are many who post on this forum with special gifts; given to them, as only the Lord can.
May the "Lord" bless you with a greater understanding of His Word.

Can you provide scriptural witness to support this statement?
God's Peace.

Dear friends,
Thank you for all of your helpful comments, suggestions and links for study. I can see it is going to take time but I am sure it will be well worth the effort. You are all very kind. Thank you so much.

I would hope everywhere. Study this part very hard and very carefully Dean. This is the main theme of scripture.
1 John 4:14
And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
oh, and:
In the end there can be only one. -Sean Connery
