This article discusses the impact of a single word, "apokatastasis," on Christian theology. The word, used only once in the Bible, refers to the restoration of all things. It explores the controversies surrounding its interpretation and its implications for the future. The concept of restoration and its significance in various biblical contexts is also examined.
LOVING PROPITIATION
The Greek word "propitiation" used in John's letter refers to Jesus as the atonement for our sins, not as a means to appease an angry God. It's a demonstration of God's love, not a call for us to try to make up for our sins. It's about covering and reconciling our sins, not about anger or punishment.
