Richard Rohr writes: "There were a number of fathers in the early church (the first four centuries) who believed in apokatastasis, which means universal restoration (Acts 3:21). They believed that the real meaning of the resurrection of Christ was that God's love was so perfect and so victorious that in fact it would finally win out in every single person's life." and in the preceding paragraph, Richard wrote:"God is a lover who receives everything, forgives everything."
do YOU believe this? why or why not?
the book is "Everything Belongs, The Gift of Contemplative Prayer" published in 1999 by Crossroad Publishing Company, New York; i got mine via a Richard Rohr search at the Shalomplace Book Store ;>)
