No I am not a Universalist. What I expect when debating is for words to mean what they logically do in the context in which they are presented. So that when "world" (kosmos)is used it is interpreted in the way that was understood back when it was written, not 2000 years later, to suit one's position in a theological argument. That goes for "love" (agape). When the same word is used towards the believer and the world, to try to glean different meaning and intensity out of it to suit a particular system is like Humpty Dumpty's "When I use a word it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less" rendering it an "uncertain trumpet".
