  • Christian Universalism is the Christian belief that everyone will get to Heaven or everyone will get to Heaven eventually.
  • Christian Universalism is a set of theological beliefs about God, Christ, and the origin and destiny of the human soul, emphasizing the unconditional parental love of God and God's plan to redeem, restore, and transform all people through Christ. This spiritual belief system has existed in various forms at various times during the past 2000 years.
  • Christian Universalism is the belief that all human beings will eventually achieve salvation. Christian Universalists believe that God is a God of Love and God as a loving parent will not allow any of His children to suffer eternally in Hell. No decent human parent would cause or allow such suffering for any of his or her children if it is possible to prevent it. In Christian Universalist opinion God will even less allow eternal suffering. God is Omniscient. If God foreknows that a soul would never be reconciled to Him God does not create that soul.

My name is Eric Stetson, and I'm the founder and executive director of The Christian Universalist Association. I would like to share with you the Good News that ALL people are God's children and NO ONE will be left behind! There is NO burning hell of torture where billions of souls who "sinned too much" or "chose the wrong religion" will suffer forever. Contrary to what most Christians today believe, such a horrible idea was not taught by Jesus and is not found anywhere in the original Hebrew Old Testament or Greek New Testament.

  • Christian Universalism is a set of theological beliefs about God, Christ, and the origin and destiny of the human soul, emphasizing the unconditional parental love of God and God's plan to redeem, restore, and transform all people through Christ. This spiritual belief system has existed in various forms at various times during the past 2000 years. Christian Universalists claim that their beliefs were the most common interpretation of Christianity in Early Christianity, prior to the 6th century. Today it is regarded as a heterodox view of the Gospel by most Christian denominations. However, a substantial minority of Christians from a diversity of denominations and traditions appear to believe in the tenets of this belief system, such as the reality of an afterlife without the existence of a hell. Christian Universalism is not the same thing as Unitarian Universalism. In fact, only a small percentage of Unitarian Universalists are Christian. There is currently no single denomination uniting Christian Universalists, but a few denominations teach some of the principles of Christian Universalism or are open to them. In 2007, the Christian Universalist Association was founded to serve as an ecumenical umbrella organization for churches, ministries, and individuals who believe in Christian Universalism.
