Episode notes
Universalism As A Historic Christian View
- Christian universalism holds that God’s judgments are penultimate and ultimately redemptive.
- Gregory of Nyssa and other church fathers taught eventual restoration despite severe, lengthy judgments.
Judgment Is Meant To Be Redemptive
- God’s judgments can be long and severe yet remain meant to redeem rather than merely punish.
- Boyd emphasizes that judgment aims to teach and turn people back to God, sometimes the 'hard way.'
Faith Doesn’t Nullify Consequences
- Being 'in Christ' doesn't exempt one from consequences; everyone faces consequences for actions.
- Boyd stresses that claiming Christ avoids consequences is misguided and Jesus himself warned strongly about judgment.
