THE DANGERS OF THE TOTALLY GOOD NEWS OF UNIVERSAL INCLUSION

* People who embrace it fall in love with God and gladly serve Him out of the sheer desire to honor Him for His infinite goodness and mercy.

*People who embrace the good news of universal inclusion lose fear as a motivation for service to God and often STAND UP to abusive religious policies and leaders that perpetuate fear to motivate behavior.

*People into universal inclusion begin seeing all their fellow humans as their brothers and sisters, possessing infinite worth, AND possessing amazing ability to tune into the heart of God and bless others--many of them, MINUS religious beliefs or connections.

*People who embrace the message of universal inclusion are more interested in establishing the Kingdom of heaven ON EARTH than in "going to heaven"--and--totally disinterested in going to heaven to the everlasting exclusion of others.

* People who embrace and proclaim universal inclusion pose a threat to churches that regard fear of hell as an "essential component" of the gospel (good news?!) of Jesus Christ. Much of their financial income depends on promoting the hell dogma, as well as their motivation for missionary endeavors.

*People who embrace universal inclusion ask too many annoying, probing questions, and churches founded on the "glad tidings" of hell regard such questions as "insubordination." The power to win by intimidation quickly fizzles when bold, sincere questions prod leaders towards accountability toward all their fellow Christians.

*People who embrace the good news of universal inclusion don't feel a need to be part of a church that thinks it's mission is to help them "be ready for heaven." (Or "the rapture.")

* You cannot threaten or intimidate Christians who are into universal inclusion into submission with the notion of hell. That only makes them MAD as hell! ??????

* You can motivate universal inclusion Christians ONLY WITH love, revelation, and reason!

Love to all--
