I'm not quite sure how your church believes that God will finally save all mankind and bring about the final universal reconciliation and restoration. I believe that it will only come at the "dispensation of the fullness of times" Eph.1:10, or the end of the ages or times when "time shall be no more". Do you believe in "soul sleep"? From a thorough study of the literal O.T. and N.T., I can't believe this. There is a place of departed spirits-not bodies-called "sheol" in Hebrew and "hades" in Greek for the lost, and heaven for the saints. St. Paul made it clear throughout the N.T. such as "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord". All the ancient saints that you mention in the first 5 centuries expounded on this from Scripture. Please email back and explain more specifically of your escatology and the state of the soul after . Thank you. In Christ, Ron Murphy
