Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 7:15-21

Quit making boujee peanut butter. No I didn't stutter. Can't be spirtually lazy, but my vision has been hazy. Lord coming in power and glory, I believe His story. He comes in humility now, because next time He'll go POW!

Praying to walk unto paths straight and narrow like an arrow, Lord have me speak in peace, I can't take it back after the release.

Heavenly reflections, desires sought. Are they ungodly? Christ is judge, dead prayers ought not.

Mark 10:14 - But when Jesus saw [it], he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

Proverbs 22:6 - Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like? They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying , We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept. For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil. The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners! But wisdom is justified of all her children. Luke 7:31-35

We often say the Devil is on the losing side of the cosmic battle. But wouldn't his dragging the majority of humanity to eternal torment constitute a victory? I feel like only universal reconciliation solves this problem, but unfortunately it is an unpopular opinion in the Christian tradition. Are there any books that discuss the history of eschatology that could give me more information on how Christians came to believe what they do?
