The Evangelical Universalist Forum

Obsolete: Forum will be read-only from March onwards

For those who don’t expect they’d participate in a FB (FaceBook) type of discussion format, perhaps the following two forums would be of interest:

christianforums.com/

city-data.com/forum/

Christian Universalists have been posting there for years, including some members of this site. I’ve seen them in these topics:

“Controversial Christian Theology
Nicene and Non-Nicene Christians only
(eg. full preterism, universalism).”

city-data.com/forum/christianity/

Another forum is at Tentmaker, though i don’t know if they’re accepting new members at this time.

These are all excellent options to find Christians (& others) who will attack you for what you believe ;

Update! –

…well, the update is that there is no update yet. I’m as surprised and pleased as anyone that the forum hasn’t gone to read-only yet. Alex, with some others, is still working on porting the forum, but it hasn’t happened yet (due to them being busy on real-life things). So I’m glad the forum is still going here meanwhile! (Also, new membership hasn’t technically shut down either; I’ve ported one or two through the spamcatcher myself since then. And bounced a few spammers. :wink: )

I suppose I’ll have come up with some reasonable update text for the main index page news window. :unamused: But I didn’t want members and guests to be completely in the dark about why the forum has neither frozen nor migrated yet.

Back to the usual usuals! :mrgreen:

Well, I did a new TEUS episode a few weeks (…wait, months?) ago! – although I don’t think Erik or whoever is in charge of putting it up, has put it up very clearly yet. (It wasn’t in the show list last time I checked either.)

Mostly I’ve stayed away from tough topics for a while due to stress at work.

Oh, whoops! – sorry, my absent-mindness dropped that. I’ll look back into it. :blush:

I dl’d JBPratt’s book (no relation :wink: ), but haven’t read it yet.

Last year i found large portions of the 900 page version available for free online. Have previously posted links re that.

Today i found the entire 900 page book available for free online reading, downloading & printing out via the online library system.

I guess that’s all i’m going to say about that publicly. Maybe i’ve said too much already ;

Seek & ye shall find.

Sought, did not find…PM?

There’s quite a bit of interest in universalism etc on forums at this site:

reddit.com/r/ChristianUniversalism/

I’ll give it a try, thanks.

I reckon Reddit would be good. I still haven’t figured out what to do with this forum as it does have some excellent content & is still used. I’ve got my long service leave coming up soon so hoping to take another look at everything. e.g. I might try creating a blank forum on the latest platform in a sandbox & see how well all the content would migrate—if that works, there’s a chance we could keep things ticking along here for longer. No promises though, these things often have unexpected hurdles.

So noted. :nerd:

Sandbox?? Doesn’t sound very hygienic. :open_mouth: :laughing:

For everyone’s benefit, I present this Wiki article at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandbox_(software_development) :smiley:

A normal sandbox is usually sanitary. Unless a herd of zombie children - were playing in it. :laughing:

Hey, Dracula. You are in the wrong GIF. We are talking about zombie children - not vampires. :laughing:

Ah… a safe place.

:laughing:

Actually, he’s talking abut wolves. Who would defile your sandbox somewhat more prosaically than zombies. (Although cats would do so more specifically. But even Dracula wouldn’t be able to appreciate the music of those children of the night. :mrgreen: )

:laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

I’m baffled. Yes, I belong to the last century, but help me out here. March when? 2017? 2018? The first post in this string is dated February 2017.

I don’t use Facebook. I did once but started worrying about the possibility of identity theft so quit.

How am I going to converse with the friends I think I made since joining December 15, 2017?

If this forum does go down, I have a forum that is still relatively new but can facilitate those users that don’t have facebook and the like.

It is also a forum favoring Universal Salvation discussions. It is located here:

thatdayandhour.info/forum/index.php

The expected date for “read-only” to commence was March of last year, but that has been put on hold indefinitely, though AFAIK could come into effect at any moment.

Several members in this thread have stated they will not use Facebook. There are other alternatives that i will list below.

Regarding where else, besides Facebook, to contact members of this site:

Paidon & steve 7150 post here:

theos.org/forum/

Many universalists post on this site, including some members of our forums here at EU:

christianforums.com/forums/ … ology.130/

I often post there & occasionally here as ClementofA:

city-data.com/forum/christianity/

Some members here (sven, Eusebius, rogertutt) have also posted at the city-data site above, though, AFAIK, not recently.

Another site that has been suggested is:
