What is the Universalism view of Jesus and the Bible?
Universalism teaches that all people will be saved. However it is not possible to categorize all universalists into one group. Universalists vary in belief when it comes to Biblical teaching. They obviously believe what the Bible teaches about sin and salvation and the atoning death of Jesus Christ. BUT......some universalists say that it is through the atonement of Jesus that all will ultimately be reconciled to God. Some say that all will go to heaven sooner or later, whether or not they have trusted in or rejected Jesus as saviour during their lifetime. This universal redemption will be realized in the future where God will bring all people to repentance. Some believe God is one person, some believe in the Trinity, some believe Jesus is a creation ie they deny the deity of Christ. Other universalists tend toward a new age concept of man's divinity.
Why do Roman Catholics call themselves catholics while they declare universalism as a heresy while catholicus means universal?
