Isn’t It Very Complicated for a Simple Bible Reader to Discover Universal Reconciliation?
No and yes. A simple reader of the Bible is confronted on every page with a God who seeks and finds the lost, Whose love knows no bounds, and Who makes all things right. It is only logical that God, Who is almighty, also brings His will to realization. As this is also taught explicitly or implicitly in many places.
But at the same time, a simple reader of the Bible reads about “eternal punishment” and torment “for ever and ever,” etc. And that creates the confusion. For both cannot possibly be true.
The rendering of aion (eon/age) as “eternity” is deadly and makes it impossible to understand Universal Reconciliation in the common Bible translations. For this rendering blinds people to the Evangel. That must be exposed. And Bible readers must be made clear that “eternity” and “eternal” in Bible translations refer to one or more eons (ages). Without this knowledge of the matter, the light cannot break through.
