were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the

The following links
contain lengthy word studies
designed
to help the individual who is searching out the subject of universal
salvation. Words such as “eternal,

also information concerning the beliefs of the early Church concerning
the
subject of universal salvation. At the
bottom of this page you will find a few .pdf books that you can
download onto
your computer. This page should keep you
busy for quite some time.
