To the consternation of many, I don’t see how any christianity can be a good in the world if the possibility of an eternal hell (let alone full-blown infernalism) is considered anything other than the worst blasphemy and heresy against Christ. Apokatastasis or bust.

1. There’s no “orthodox doctrine of hell.” 2. Most universalists affirm a limited restorative hell. 3. If universalism is wrong, “God” is evil, & nothing matters. 4. If god is evil, better to be in hell than collude with evil in “heaven.” 5. Fear is an invalid base for theology.

The cost of being wrong universal salvation will occur is much more serious than the cost of being wrong in affirming the orthodox doctrine of hell. If I'm wrong, I go to heaven. If they're wrong, they might go to hell. Is it rational for all to act as if hell is possible?

Moderately hot take: circumcision is male genitalia mutilation. As such, outside of its specific covenantal context (which has been ultimately fulfilled in Christ and is now more broadly represented in baptism), it should never be recommended as a standard practice.

6. There is no logical reason that Christians who hold to the historic christian doctrines of apokatastasis would be in any personal risk of hell simply for being wrong about eschatology. Christian ethics only improves with universalism.

7. God Godself is not strictly under judgment in this conversation, merely human theologies about God. 8. All parties appeal to reason & revelation, and all agree that God is the Good. Yet, that very belief can only mean the gospel via apokatastasis. Only it is consistent.
