The writers of the following material all believe that a correct (literal)
translation of the Bible teaches universal transformation, not endless
suffering in hell, or even annihilation.
First of all there is the TENTMAKER site
http://www.tentmaker.org/
In the middle of the front page is THE SCHOLAR'S CORNER. It will
help you deal with every argument against the Bible teaching universal
reconciliation.
On the left-hand side is access to several writings that thoroughly refute
arguments that support the doctrine of never ending suffering in hell.
At the top, is a very comprehensive search engine. For example, type in the
word "eternal". You may be surprised how many pages come up, each page
listing ten different articles by teachers of universal reconciliation. There
are a total of more than 600 pages each containing access to ten articles
per page that refute the idea that the Word of God teaches endless suffering
in hell or annihilation for any creature.
Another great UR (universal reconciliation) site is at
http://www.godstruthfortoday.org/
The section called IN THE GARDEN (accessible from the front page) contains
so many eloquent, inspirational, Christ-glorifying articles by teachers of
universal reconciliation like William Mealand and
Donald Hayter, etc.
Then there is THE MAIN LIBRARY (also accessible from the front page) which
is LARGE, and contains the writings of MANY teachers of universal
reconciliation.
Four scriptural expositions supporting UR are found at

One of the important tools for believing that the Bible teaches universal
reconciliation is to use a correct (literal) translation of the Bible. Here
are several. The ones on line you don't even have to pay for.
CORRECT TRANSLATIONS ONLINE
CONCORDANT
http://www.concordant.org/version/html.html
YOUNG'S LITERAL
http://www.auburn.edu/~allenkc/rylt/rylt.html
URIM-THUMMIM
http://bibleprophet.com/indexPUTV.html
OTHER CORRECT TRANSLATIONS NOT ONLINE LISTED AT
http://hellbusters.8m.com/asw10.htm and
http://www.tentmaker.org/articles/Hell_is_Leaving_the_Bible_Forever.html
I think the Concordant Literal Translation is the most accurate.
Of the versions not online I like ROTHERHAM'S EMPHASISED BIBLE the best.
Here are charts that you can print off that display what believers in
universal transformation believe that the Bible teaches.

Lastly, there is my own personal site. If you click on LINKS on my menu
board, it will take you to dozens of UR sites. Some of them are especially
good like THE SAVIOUR OF ALL FELLOWSHIP, and THE CONCORDANT PUBLISHING CONCERN. My url is
http://greater-emmanuel.org/Hope4You/
I would also like to mention four scholars that have been an enormous help
to me through the years. They commit a large portion of their time on the
internet helping people who have problems relating to the Bible teaching
universal transformation. You might wish to contact them directly, because
they know so much more than I do about the subject.
One is Tony Nungesser at THE SAVIOUR OF ALL FELLOWSHIP
tnungesser@adlmi.org
Another is Richard C. Condon at email@godstruthfortoday.org
Another is James Coram at THE CONCORDANT PUBLISHING CONCERN at email@concordant.org
And the fourth is Gary Amirault at TENTMAKER gary@tentmaker.org
We agree that "salvation is fully by the grace of God through faith in
Christ Jesus." But we also believe that EVERYONE will eventually benefit
from this grace and will exercise saving faith in Christ according to God's
perfect timing for each individual.
Keep in touch if you feel like it. It was great to hear from you!
