The belief that
everyone goes to heaven. It is similar to
inclusivism but goes
beyond its scope to include all of humanity.
Like
annihilationism, this belief stems out of God's
love. Proponents of this view hold that a loving
God is incapable of sending people to hell.
Limited universalism
is a variation of universalism that states the devout of
all religions go to heaven. This at least makes
religion worthwhile and not pointless.
Of course universalism appears to
go directly against teachings of the Bible about heaven
and hell. Most importantly the question must be
asked why Jesus had to die on the cross if belief
in Him is unnecessary to get into heaven.
