Having searched out the truth on this matter many decades ago, Alan, it is you who needs to understand you have not discovered a new universal Biblical spiritual truth.
You are merely recycling one of that old dragon's (who is Satan) ungodly lies, a doctrine of demons that would convince those who are spiritually lost without Christ that they will be just fine.
Instead of exploring devious paths by which you may seek to bypass the clear message of the Gospel, if you would expend that energy in teaching and writing God's message of Salvation, you would do well.
The topic of the Bible's New Testament is individual Salvation granted to each of us, as a result of our affirmative response to the Holy Spirit convicting us of our sinfulness and need for repentance. We are saved through God's grace as we publicly profess our faith in Jesus Christ's completed propitiatory death, and subsequent resurrection to new life on our behave.
The "gospel of Jesus Christ" is the "good news" of our offer of reconciliation with God as a free gift to all who believe. The sin-debt of death we each individually owe Him was paid for in full by Jesus' shed blood on Calvary's cross, and God's grace is applied to us individually through the conduit of our faith as we believe and accept His priceless gift. We are granted eternal life in Jesus Christ, and simultaneously spiritually baptized into His universal body of believers, as we are cleansed from all unrighteousness, indwelt by the Holy Spirit, and sealed for eternity.
Only God's Word, His Bible verses, His Holy Scripture, can teach you the meaning of salvation and grant you understanding of what God, not mankind, has declared salvation to be - and from whom or what you are saved.
1st Corinthians 1:21: "For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not come to know God, God was well-pleased through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe."
The Message of the Cross:
1st Corinthians 1:18 For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
19 For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and I will thwart the cleverness of the intelligent.”
20 Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?
21 For since in the wisdom of God the world by its wisdom did not know God, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.
22 For Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks ask for wisdom,
23 but we preach about a crucified Christ,
24 a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles. But to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.
25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.
26 Think about the circumstances of your call, brothers and sisters. Not many were wise by human standards, not many were powerful, not many were born to a privileged position.
27 But God chose what the world thinks foolish to shame the wise, and God chose what the world thinks weak to shame the strong.
28 God chose what is low and despised in the world, what is regarded as nothing, to set aside what is regarded as something,
29 so that no one can boast in His presence.

He is the reason you have a relationship with Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption, 31 so that, as it is written, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”

Universalism: Universal Restoration, belief in the salvation of all souls. Alan,
"Universalism, in their own website" doesn't attempt to disguise themself. They do not seek knowledge of their Creator God that they might worship Him. Rather, they readily identify as the most ancient of rebels against God, pagans - seeking throughout the earth's religions and Greek and eastern Philosophies for "the truths of reformative divine justice, the potential of all people to be perfected in the divine image" ("in order to be as God" as the Serpent promised Eve in the Garden).
https://christianuniversalist.org/resources/articles/history-of-universalism/Quote:"Since 2007, spreading the message that all will be well...for everyone...no exceptions."
"The History of Universalism: "Universalism is a major spiritual
tradition dating back to the Apostles of Jesus Christ and the ancient Christian church. It is an understanding of the Gospel that has inspired saints, mystics, philosophers, theologians, and churches in nearly every era of religious history from the time of Jesus to today."
"Even before the proclamation of the Christian Gospel, there were foreshadowings of Universalism in the Hebrew scriptures as well as in Greek and Eastern philosophy — some of which taught
the truths of reformative divine justice, the potential of all people to be perfected in the divine image, and the emanation and restoration of all things back to the Source of All Being."EndQuote

Is universalism / universal salvation biblical? | GotQuestions.org
Answer: "Universalism is the belief that everyone will be saved. There are many people today who hold to universal salvation and believe that all people eventually end up in heaven. Perhaps it is the thought of men and women living a life of eternal torment in hell
that causes some to reject the teaching of Scripture on this issue."Acts 2:38 "Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Acts 4:12 "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”
Romans 10:9 "that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;"

The truth of the matter is that the teaching of "ETERNAL TORMENT" is complete "HERESY." If you really want to search out the truth on this subject (or are you just all talk), I challenge you to go to your search engine and key in the wording: "The history of universalism - Christian Universalist Association"
How can any Christian possibly believe that God is going to send anyone to suffer "ETERNAL TORMENT" for trillions of trillions of trillions of trillions of years with no end in sight. Anyone that believes that has no concept of who God really is, and has no concept of what Christ's shed Blood on the Cross is all about. Christians need to wake up and come to their senses.
The truth of the matter is that the teaching of &q... (
