Universalism / Pluralism is False
1. It is Illogical
It gives contradicting views of God
and salvation
2.It is Unbiblical

“And there is salvation in no one
else; for there is no other name
under heaven that has been given
among men by which we must be
saved.”
- Acts 4:12
For the wrath of God is revealed
from heaven against all ungodliness
and unrighteousness of men who
suppress the truth in
unrighteousness,
- Romans 1:18
because that which is known about
God is evident within them; for God
made it evident to them. For since the
creation of the world His invisible
attributes, His eternal power and divine
nature, have been clearly seen, being
understood through what has been
made, so that they are without excuse
- Romans 1:19-20
For even though they knew God, they did
not honor Him as God or give thanks, but
they became futile in their speculations,
and their foolish heart was darkened.
Professing to be wise, they became fools,
and exchanged the glory of the
incorruptible God for an image in the form
of corruptible man and of birds and fourfooted animals and crawling creatures.
- Romans 1:21-23
Therefore God gave them over in the
lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that
their bodies would be dishonored
among them. For they exchanged the
truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and
served the creature rather than the
Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
- Romans 1:24-25

For I am not ashamed of the
gospel, for it is the power of God
for salvation to everyone who
believes, to the Jew first and also
to the Greek.
- Romans 1:16
