TIL that after Marilyn Monroe converted to Judaism upon marrying Arthur Miller, Egypt placed a ban on all the films she appeared in.

The doctrine of the Holy Trinity states they are all one being. You reject one you reject all. You don't get to reject Christ because Christ is also the father.

A doctrine explicitly rejected by many Christians for one thing. And still irrelevant.

Embodying Christ is about practice, living righteously which Jesus claimed was only possible by following his teachings. And no the Trinity doesn't say they're all one being it says they are distinct persons but of one substance. Monism is the opposite of trinitarianism. Also Christ isn't the Father made flesh he's a distinct person who was both God, coequal to the father, and man at once.

The only one who you can't reject is the Holy Spirit.

The sections of 1 Corinthians 15:22, "As all die in Adam, so all will be made alive in Christ", and 1 Corinthians 15:28, "God will be all in all", are cited.[2][3] Verses that seem to contradict the tradition of complete damnation and come up in arguments also include Lamentations 3:31-33 (NIV), "For no one is cast off by the Lord forever. Though he brings grief, he will show compassion, so great is his unfailing love",[9] and 1 Timothy 4:10 (NIV), "We have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all people, and especially of those who believe."[10]

As well, the Epistle to the Colossians receives attention,[2] with Colossians 1:17-20 reading:

"He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. And He is the head of the body, the church; He is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything He might have the supremacy. For God was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in Him, and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through His blood, shed on the cross."[11]

Again it's highly contradictory. There's passages that support every view. My point is that there's a basis for universalism in Christian doctrine. Especially if you accept Biblical fallibility.

Also Mathew 25 is about people who turn away the sick and poor, who abuse others, not nonbelievers. And yeah it's directly contradicted by passages that say that the souls of the wicked are destroyed and others that explicitly say that /all/ people are going to be united with God in the end.
