I’ve been following RH a few years. I’m mostly convinced.

I became convinced about 13 years ago, from a link in the OP of a thread right here on FR. It was pretty easy, though, because the whole “turn or burn” message was one I always had a problem with. I “believed” it, but in a, “I wish I was wrong about this” sort of way. But I had never actually studied it deeply. Once I did, the change was a piece of cake.

I say this with the utmost seriousness: I’d now accept universalism before I’d accept ECT. But this gets into my confusion about what is REALLY meant by “eternal life” in the various passages in the bible that are translated such in english. I suspect we have many more “ages” ahead of us, and the earth and heavens have experienced many, many ages before Genesis 1:2 takes place.

i.e. the entire scope of the bible only addresses, for us puny humans, a small snapshot in both the past and future history of physical creation.
