Check out the following video of Eric Metaxas giving a gospel presentation at the 2012 National Day of Prayer Breakfast. Metaxas is the #1 NYT best-selling author of:
- Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy
- Amazing Grace: William Wilberforce and the Heroic Campaign to End Slavery”
The following has been considered one of the best “sermons” given at the event. He delivers an incredible discourse on prayer and what it means to have authentic faith in Christ. Watch and enjoy, there’s a special surprise at the end:
But please note that as much as he is accoladed by evangelicals he leaves out one essential element of their Gospel which is that of an “eternal hell.” Before a national audience he gives no warning and no allusion to it whatsoever. He forgets to mention it and we forgot to notice. This is because the threat of an eternal conscious torment is not written on our hearts from God in the first place. We know that it is not a part of what we believe is the “Good News.” This is further evidence that this doctrine originated from the traditions of men and not from God.
December 18, 2012: An update on Metaxas’ thoughts on the idea of the ultimate restoration of all mankind. We found this quote in response to his friend George Sarris’ pending book on the subject of Biblical Universalism:
“Bravo! While I’m not yet sure what I make of all his conclusions, I am quite sure that my friend George Sarris should be applauded for beginning this extremely important conversation in a way that is not merely provocative or sensationalistic, but that is decidedly thoughtful, courageous, and humble. May all who engage what he says be so as well, to the glory of God.”
— Eric Metaxas (Quote found on George Sarris’ website)
