Be Ware…Christian Universalism
I recently heard Scot McKnight talk at the Q Conference and was very intrigued. He’s brilliant. Then last night I saw a tweet referring to this interview. Scot exposes something we all need to be aware of…Christian Universalism.
Enjoy and learn…
Margaret: What do you think is the biggest challenge facing evangelicals?
McKnight: The biggest challenge facing American evangelicals is Christian universalism.
Margaret: What do you mean by Christian universalism?
McKnight: Christian universalism is the belief that everyone will eventually be saved because of what Christ has done. Christian universalism differs from raw pluralism. Pluralism is the belief that no religion offers superiority in the process of redemption. With pluralism, all religions lead us to the same god and the same ends. The distinction for Christian universalists is that what God did for humans in Christ will redeem all humans, whether they are Hindus, Muslims, or atheists, all will eventually be saved.Margaret: What do you think is contributing to the rise of Christian universalism?
