I do not preach universal salvation, what I say is that I cannot exclude the possibility that God would save all men at the Judgment. ~ Karl Barth (born May 10)
- 3 because there has been no positive nor negative assurance that men, even those who have heavily committed to sin would or would not enter salvation. The final judgment is but a perspective, the ideology of universal salvation, however, holds some truth. Zarbon 05:21, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
- 2 Aphaia For people who have no Christianity background, it may not make a sense at all.

Man as man can never know God: His wishing, seeking, and striving are all in vain. ~ Karl Barth (born May 10)

Take me to that other place
Reach me

Our Yes towards life from the very beginning carries within it the Divine No which breaks forth from the antithesis and points away from what now was the thesis to the original and final synthesis. The No is not the last and highest truth, but the call from home which comes in answer to our asking for God in the world. ~ Karl Barth
