Universalism cannot be supported by the New Testament, Christ's teachings, His Words. It is a false gospel. Man MUST call upon the name of Jesus Christ to be saved. No other name, no other way, no other door. This is the gospel. Christians need to tell men this, we need to tell them they are bound for Hell without the salvation that can be found only in Jesus Christ. That is Jan's point. All the food, clean water, sheets, good health care are just that but a man or woman who has not yet become born again and is without Christ - those are bound for an eternity apart from God.
We are in the very last days and there will soon be a literal seven year period of tribulation on Earth that John wrote of in Revelation, horrible time, then after that Christ will return. Not before.
First, foremost, most importantly all men need to call on the name of Jesus Christ to be saved.

I respectfully disagree.
"But of that day and hour no one knows, neither the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone." Matthew 24:36.
The signs described in the Gospel have not yet occurred so the end time is not yet.
