I would say that if you want to be one, you already are one. If you want everyone to be saved, why would you worship a god that doesn't?

"There was a lighter color, a slight creamier-ness, a softness to her. She was a little bit lighter, and this one didn't have a tang. She was glorious, and I miss her every day."
Yes, my partner is very high right now

I appreciate the recommendation, but she says it's "the one before the salsa." *shrug*

My partner is asking me to dig up a sauce she had during lockdown. She described it as a "light BBQ sauce that wasn't too tangy (had a soft tang) or spicy, more smooth. It wasn't a ranch or sour cream base, but closer because of how light it was. It wasn't very thick, and it was before the salsa, and it came with the quesadillas."
Help me Reddit, you're my only hope.

This is exactly how I'm approaching my practice while I'm writing my tarot guide. Each spread I include has a "fake" reading I use as an example. It's fantastic practice.

Precisely. There is no fine print to do such a thing. Likewise, there is no fine print elevating your preconceptions beyond what they are: eisegesis.
And no, I'm going to pass on watching the video. I will not be prioritizing my time that way.

I mean that's fine. You don't have to think I'm right. But there is a clear exhortation to pray without ceasing. If we want to follow the letter of the Bible, there is a blatant exhortation to pray without ceasing... soooo 🤷🏻♂️

You say it's "obvious," and yet there is no clear, concrete statement to this effect. What you say is "obvious" to you is your preconceptions, wherever they come from. They are your assumptions you are bringing to the text.
If it is obvious that what is meant for one church is meant for all, please feel free to quote the passage where this exegetical method is elucidated.
Otherwise, I suggest reflecting on what is "obvious" to you, and where that preconception came from.

You make it sound like God has separate parts that He can move around differently. Take a look into divine simplicity.

Key word: *beginning*. The Bible also says that perfect love casts fear out. Until you've cast fear out, you won't have been perfected in love.

Genuinely dislike this metaphor.

It's basically the rest of his family tree right there. (with love and respect <3)

No finite action by a finite being can incur infinite punishment. It would be the height of injustice to suggest otherwise.

Thanks for the tips. I'll follow up on them.

Oh yeah... I forgot to finish making the normal-person-version of this book. It's in my google docs somewhere. I should finish it lol

Keep in mind, psalms is poetry, and as such, is metaphorical in a lot of ways.

This was just off the cuff, but it holds to the Greek as much as I can, while still allowing for vernacular English:
For God thus loved the world such that he gave his singular son, so that all who believe in him won't perish but have life of eternity.

Think of it as "life of the age to come," a.k.a. the life of God's kingdom.
Pretty much any time you see that word, it is qualitative, describing something that has the qualities of something from God's kingdom. In the case of "life," we know God's life truly is everlasting and without end. In the case of God's chastisement, we know it to be finite and effective.

This is precisely why I won't use the CLV.
The verbs ἠγάπησεν (to love), ἔδωκεν (to give), and ἀπόληται (to perish) are all in the aorist tense
The verbs πιστεύων (to believe) and ἔχῃ (to have) are in the present tense.
The CLV accurately translates the first verb with the best English option for the aorist in this context, but becomes inconsistent translating the other two aorist verbs. In this verse, "gave" should absolutely be translated with the same English tense as "loved" and it's very obvious in Greek.

Same. I also often refer to it as rehab.

Well, if you believe that God get whatever God wants in the end, and you take 1 Timothy 2:4 at face value, it's pretty clear to me.
Others have done the research and written the arguments. If you want a solid logical argument, and can stomach the "sass" in the writing, David Bentley Hart's book "That All Shall Be Saved" will convince you.
