Warning: This post talks about child abuse.

When evangelizing people about Universal Salvation, that everyone will go to Heaven through faith alone in Jesus Christ, a person sent me their Discord account name and asked me to friend them so we can talk. Here are parts of our conversation. (Not all will be mentioned to protect their privacy).

They say “hey is something at the bible that says its wrong if two kid having sex ? ?? like 12 and 12 having sex its hell ?”

I say “The Bible is against the sexual abuse of all children. Mark 10:14. But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, “Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Faith alone in Jesus Christ is what sends a person to Heaven. When they believe, the Holy Spirit transforms their body and they are guaranteed a happy afterlife.”

They say “is it abuse if its two kids”

I say “Everyone will become believers in Christ in this way. Child abuse is always wrong Biblically, no matter how many children. It is sin.”

They say “so a 12 year old have sex a 12 year old, its child abuse? :c and its sin and have to repent or somehting ?”

I say “Hebrews 13:4 ESV Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous. As it risks giving birth to a child where the parents cannot properly take care of them, causing suffering To wash away all sins, one only has to have faith in Christ. As soon as one does that, they are permanently saved.” And, of course, all people will become permanently saved.

They say “what denomination u ?”

I say “Denomination doesn't matter. But people call me a Christian Universalist. The website "Tentmaker.org" shares my beliefs. As long as someone has faith in Christ, doesn't matter what denomination they are. Christian = Christian”

They say “but still matter a bit.” They then call Catholics and insulting name.

I say “ … But I have met people who call themselves "catholic" who believe that everyone will be saved through faith alone in Christ. A lot of it's just titles. It's hard to sum up someone's beliefs with just one word.”

They say “what age is considered child ? at the bible”

I say “The Bible says 20 years old and above are able to serve in the army. Thus, as children cannot be sent in the army, anything under 20 years old is a child biblically.

Numbers 1:2-3 “Take a census of the whole Israelite community by their clans and families, listing every man by name, one by one. 3 You and Aaron are to count according to their divisions all the men in Israel who are twenty years old or more and able to serve in the army.”
