I'll just mention one line of evidence at this point.<br /><br />One of the reasons why I believe that a majority of people will be saved is that I believe in universal infant salvation. I believe that life begins at conception, so individuals who die around the time of conception or later in infancy would be included among those saved. That would include those who die in spontaneous and induced abortions. That's a large percentage of people. And I think God extends the same grace to at least some children beyond infancy.<br /><br />This subject of how many people will be saved was discussed to some extent in <a href="http://triablogue.blogspot.com/2009/10/are-there-few-that-be-saved.html" rel="nofollow">a thread a couple of years ago</a>. You might want to read the comments section as well, since some relevant resources are cited there.Jason Engwerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17031011335190895123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-34501727384840663492011-05-16T22:15:01.679-04:002011-05-16T22:15:01.679-04:00Hi Jason.

I believe in a Hell of conscious, eternal punishment."<br /><br />May I ask why you think that the majority of humans will be redeemed?<br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />In Him,<br /><br />-JoeJoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18261351748058047837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-24781797723414830332011-05-15T20:57:26.136-04:002011-05-15T20:57:26.136-04:00Thanks, Jason!Thanks, Jason!Patrick Chanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16095377877712197984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-30182042666181199682011-05-15T19:55:41.162-04:002011-05-15T19:55:41.162-04:00Jason,
