Yes, Rhonda, once I started examining the possibilities of universal reconciliation, it became easier and easier to look at someone else and imagine them as either a potential Christian or a potential "loving" Christian regardless of the current standing.

At least if UR ultimately turns out as false in some way (as yet undetermined) I would rather have the hope that the world will ultimately be drawn to Christ, in whatever order or age/eon, than to relentlessly seek ways to separate ourselves due to knowledge system. Anyway, it still is hard to watch these people wrestle with each other and divide themselves over anything they think is right by them.

I'll be ever so happy when Christ manifests himself and, not THEY, but, WE all are shown the complete truth.

Chris
