Question

Description acceptable. The Eastern Orthodox theologian David Bentley Hart called this doctrine “the only possible” credible interpretation of Christianity in a 2019 book titled for First Timothy Chapter 2, Verse (10[1])4. Hosea Ballou and George T. Knight controversially argued that this belief was standard in the early church based (10[1])on the works of Gregory of Nyssa (10[1])(“NISS-uh”). This doctrine’s opponents cite Jesus’s warning of a “narrow door” or “strait gate” (10[1])in Luke Chapter 13. (10[1])This doctrine may be expressed by Origen’s (“origin’s”) idea of “apokatastasis” (-5[1])(“app-oh-kuh-TASS-tuh-sis”). This doctrine, which opposes conditional election and annihilationism, (10[1])draws on First Corinthians’ statement that “all will be made alive (10[1]-5[1])in (10[1])Christ.” (10[1]-5[1])Non-Trinitarianism (10[1])and this doctrine (-5[1])name a non-creedal faith often called “UU-ism.” (10[1])For 10 (10[1])points, what doctrine holds that in the long run, all souls will reach heaven? (10[3])■END■ (10[6]0[5])

ANSWER: universalism [or universal salvation or universal reconciliation; or descriptions of the belief that all souls will be saved, all souls will be reconciled with God, hell is temporary, or punishment for sin is not eternal; accept going to heaven in place of “saved” until “heaven” is read and prompt afterwards]
