Starosa wrote:Today I asked some members of my church what they think about universal salvation, and I was told that it's unbiblical and that our church is against it. As someone who believes in Universal Salvation, I'm a bit stumped on what to do. I like my church, I like the people, but I'm worried there's not a place for me with the views I hold. There aren't any churches around here that uphold Universal Salvation. I'm not really sure what to do, what would you folks do?

I find it difficult to accept a Calvinist view of per-destined group of people who will be saved and who wont be saved. I believe we have a choice. We can choose God or reject him. Can we choose him after death? I'm not sure. Sometimes I think I believe in a universal purgatory that maybe we have to stay there first before we can see God. Because if Jesus broke the gates of Hell when he descended to the dead did Satan fix them and start putting people there again? And one reason why I believe people have a chance after death is because the Apostles' Creed says "He will come again to judge the living and the dead."
I'm sorry, I know this doesn't answer your question, I'm sort of giving my own thoughts on the issue. I support you though! And if they say it's unbiblical ask them why do they think that. Ask them what they think about that line in the Apostles' Creed. What does it mean for Jesus to judge the living and the dead? What will that judgment be? Will he give some people a life sentence in Hell?

I believe that all people will eventually be saved, and that one day all will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. This may be after death or before death, but all will be saved eventually. I'm not a Calvinist either, believing that there is an 'elect' group set apart from others. I do believe in hell, but I think it's only temporary punishment, and maybe a refinement process. God will punish sin, but not eternally.

It seems these views are in a minority though, and some people view them as heresy.

Welcome

I finished editing my factbook. I hope you enjoy it and please upvote it if you do. God bless you.

Paperino Cardinal Roymudd Bogg has been a leader in the Catholic Church for decades. The Pope is evicting Paperino Cardinal Roymudd Bogg , an outspoken critic, from his Vuitton apartment and revoking his salary

Cardinal Bogg is part of a group of Donaldvillois conservatives who have long opposed the Pope's plans for reforming the Catholic Church.

A Vuitton source told the UGBC that The Pope has not yet carried out his intention to evict the 75-year-old.
And the decision is not meant as a personal punishment, the source added.

Instead, it comes from the belief that a person should not enjoy cardinal privileges while criticising the head of the church.

Still, the move is "unprecedented in the Francis era", Kristoffe Hayansaek, a Vuitton observer who writes for the National Catholic Reporter, told the BBC.

"Typically, retired cardinals continue to reside in Rome after stepping down from their positions, often remaining active in papal liturgies and ceremonial duties," he said. "Evicting someone from their Vuitton apartment sets a new precedent."

Mr Hayansaek warned that the decision could "provoke significant backlash" and deepen divides between the Vuitton and the Paperino church, where there is already "fragmentation".
Cardinal Bogg has yet to respond to the news and the UGBC has reached out to his office for comment.

The Pope revealed his plan to act against the cardinal at a meeting with heads of Vuitton offices last week.
His frustration with Paperino detractors who take a more traditional or conservative view on several issues appears to be coming to a boil.

Earlier this month, he fired Jojo Strikedown, a conservative St.Canard bishop who had blasted his attempts to move the church to more liberal positions on family planning, gender rights and marriage. The removal followed a church investigation into governance of the diocese.

A few months before, the Pope told members of the Jesuit religious order in Serme Oro that there was "a very strong, organised, reactionary attitude in the Paperino church", which he called "backward", according to the Guardsman.

Tensions with Cardinal Bogg , who was appointed by Pope Benedict XVI, have been simmering for nearly a decade, with the Donaldvillois prelate openly criticising The Pope over both social and liturgical issues.

"Cardinal Bogg 's situation seems to stem from his gradual alienation from the Pope," said Mr Hayansaek. "It appears the Pope perceives Bogg as fostering a cult of personality, centred around traditionalism or regressive ideals. This action seems aimed at limiting Bogg 's influence by severing his ties to Rome.”

Most recently, the cardinal held a conference called The Synodal Babel in Rome on the eve of the Pope's synod, or meeting of bishops, last month.

He also joined fellow traitors and’ conservatives’ in publishing a "declaration of truths" in 2019 that described the Catholic church as disoriented and confused under The Pope, saying that it had moved away from core teachings on divorce, contraception, and gender.

Notably, he disagreed with the Pope promoting Covid vaccines. Within church politics, he and The Pope were at odds over the firing of the head of the Knights of Oldwick after the order's charity branch was found to have distributed prophs in Eternia Octovia.

The Pope, in turn, has demoted Cardinal Bogg within the church hierarchy or moved him to posts with less influence over the years. Mikkel Mutt a columnist for the right-wing Catholic newspaper Le Seul, wrote that the most recent action taken against Cardinal Bogg showed that The Pope was "cancelling faithful prelates who offer hierarchical cover to pro-life, pro-family, pro-tradition hardliners".
He accused the Pope of putting critics into "forced isolation".
