Douglas Wayne Thomas:
I do not understand what UR stands for, can anyone fill me in? ???
Dave in Tenn:
UR stands for Universal Reconciliation...a little doctrinal shorthand. :)
I didn't know either till somebody told me. ;D ;D
Better to believe it than to have a code for it.
Douglas Wayne Thomas:
This is one definition for "UR" that I found. - Universal reconciliation, also called universal salvation or sometimes simply universalism, is the Christian doctrine or belief that all will receive salvation due to the love and mercy of God. This is the main belief that distinguishes Christian Universalism from other forms of Christianity. Universal reconciliation states that all people will eventually experience salvation, and most forms of the doctrine assert that the suffering and crucifixion of Jesus Christ is the mechanism that provides reconciliation for all humankind and atonement for all sins. This concept is distinct from Unitarian Universalism.
Universal reconciliation is intimately related with the problem of Hell. There are various beliefs and views concerning the process or state of salvation, but all universalists conclude that it ultimately ends in the reconciliation and salvation of all mankind.
The belief in the eventual salvation of all humankind has been a topic of debate throughout the history of the Christian faith. In the early Church, universalism was a flourishing theological doctrine. Over time, as Christian theology experienced growth and expansion, it lost much of its popular acceptance. Today, most Christian denominations reject the doctrine of universal reconciliation.
Maybe I am missing the point here - it seems to me that this definition aligns itself very well with Ray's teaching. Please correct me, pr explain further if this viewpoint of mine is not correct. Thank you for any guidance one can afford to me.
