Since I've contributed to the derail,

Since I've contributed to the derail, I'll contribute a passage. This came up in my daily prayer from the Book of Common Worship

Lol, I'm personally completely fine with the thread getting derailed. The title's very generic anyways "Daily Christian Universalist Verses", so as long as there's any sort of Bible verse about Christ's Universal Salvation, than it's all good. A "catch-all" topic.

Ephesians 1:10 As a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in Him, things in heaven and things on earth.

That tells me the fire is a refining fire.

Yes, it's like the fire that a blacksmith uses to refine the purities of metal. At a certain point, you have to take out the metal. It's like if I'm baking a loaf of bread in the oven, if I leave it in there for too long, well, I think not only will the bread not taste good, but my whole house might burn down too lol.

The Lord is the ultimate blacksmith, the master chef of baking. When the Lord makes a meal, He will cook it to it's perfect temperature.

Psalm 145:17 "The Lord is righteous in all his ways and faithful in all he does.

because I respect you

Yes, I as well respect everyone on this thread. Everyone on this thread will go to Heaven and be blessed by the Lord.

Psalm 145:8 "The Lord is gracious and full of compassion..."
