What is a universalist?

The Unitarin Universalists:\n\n"The living tradition which we share draws from many sources:\n\n    * Direct experience of that transcending mystery and wonder, affirmed in all cultures, which moves us to a renewal of the spirit and an openness to the forces which create and uphold life;\n    * Words and deeds of prophetic women and men which challenge us to confront powers and structures of evil with justice, compassion and the transforming power of love;\n    * Wisdom from the world's religions which inspires us in our ethical and spiritual life;\n    * Jewish and Christian teachings which call us to respond to God's love by loving our neighbors as ourselves;\n    * Humanist teachings which counsel us to heed the guidance of reason and the results of science, and warn us against idolatries of the mind and spirit;\n    * Spiritual teachings of Earth-centered traditions which celebrate the sacred circle of life and instruct us to live in harmony with the rhythms of nature."

A Cabbalist [Kabalist] is an adherent of Jewish mysticism that follows esoteric doctrines or the mysterious art of deciphering the Scriptures.\n\nI don't know much about them personally... they're too secretive it seems.

I think being a fundamentalist is being strict in law & punishment. \n\nSin separates us from God, so we need an atonement for our sin.  Jesus blood makes us white.  The good news is to be reconciled with God.  That is a relationship.  Jesus said, "Drink Ye all of it; For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins..."  We renew our minds with washing in the word.  Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God.

Kind of broad and non-descript.\nHow about a belief not based upon absolute truth.

No -- a "theist" is someone who *believes* in god.  If there were proof of god (and just showing up wouldn't do it, he'd have to demonstrate why he's "god" and provide proof that he created the universe), there would be no need for belief, it would be fact.

God gave you a brain and free will. Being a realist means using those two gifts to analyze the world. After doing that, live according to your conscience.\n\nA sin would be NOT using your brain and will to decide. This is what is wrong with most organized religions.

Gnosticism agrees with the teachings of just about every religion in the world.  Orthodox Christianity is the only one with that dying for sins nonsense.  I don't know, in my opinion the truth is within us, not within a book, if it is in us all, it would be universal.  The actual words of Jesus are universal.  All that other nonsense came from Paul and is not.

- A world citizen (maybe a little cliché)\n\n- A pan-nationalist (made that one up, like it?)\n\n- A globalist (could get you misunderstood though)\n\n- A cosmopolitanist (just found that on Wikipedia)\n\n- An anti-nationalist (logical enough)\n\n- An internationalist (also logical although kind of Communist)

Fundamentalist is a label that applies to a specific group of people.  The general rule is that they believe in a literal six day creation.  But I have asked about this here on yahoo answers and got some interesting results.\n\nThe guy in the kayak maybe youve seen him, he was talking about passages from genesis where God made the Earth before the start of the "six days". Meaning its not a literal six days.  The other thing about the 24 hour thing is that this was an Egyptian design, so . .\n\nI had some problems with the geocentric solar system with the heliocentric solar system.\n\nA fundamentalist would say its in the Bible the Earth is the center of the universe.  But someone on here, her name is contemplative something, said no that you can't read those bible passages that talk about the Earth is in the center as meaning physical center, but that they mean that the Earth is in the center of God's universe. God pays attention to Earth.\n\nSo, when we use the label fundamentalist,  we use this I think innappriately sometimes.  We sometimes jump the gun.  The two people I just mentioned seem to be able to discuss with me through answers the Bible and what it really means,  and not the standard Bible thumping thing.\n\nI think fundamentalism is more a behavior of "if its in the book it must be true," where as I think some of us are really trying to understand.\n\nSo, yeah fundamentalists are sometimes crazy,  but these people are just not all with it.  Cause the true beilevers, the true Christians, just aren't fundamentalists at all.  But indeed some of the Bible is open to inerpretation,  but I have to believe that mostly there is one or two interpretations that I am supposed to get out of it.  I can't do it alone.\n\nI'm trying to see the face of God. I might do this my whole life.

Creationists are people who take the bible literally and believe that God created the world in seven days.  They believe that this idea should be taught in schools, and in some schools in America this idea is taught as a fact, with evolution being presented as another 'idea' that should not be given much attention.\n\nCreationists use biblical explanations to explain things that happened over millenia - for eg. they say that the reason rock is laid down in strata is not because those strata were laid down over millions of years, recording the earths atmosphere and climate, but because of Noah's flood.\n\nThe ideas come from the bible and from people who take it literally rather than allegorically.

It's really only the fundamentalists in certain religions that believe that kind of foolishness. There are lots of religious people who have progressive, inclusive, and ecumenical understandings of their faith. There are lots of religious people who while devoted to their own faith, respect other faiths as spiritual paths.

Talk about stereotyping ! \n\nThere are bad Atheists out there and yes, believe it or not, there are good Christians, good Muslims, and good Hindus. Yea, even those of fundamentalist stripes can often be people of high morals.\n\nAnd BTW most fundamentalist Christians would say that good deeds never earned anyone salvation- faith in Jesus is what they base their salvation on.

The One True God is the One who is the ultimate creator, and everything leads to him. The one that is true to me is Cathicism, you need to find what you truly belive in. There are many religons but they usually come from one root. The main one's I know of are Cristanity, Islam, Budisim and Hinduisim, just to name a few popular ones.

There are many Theists in this world, some are Atheist (Non Believers or those who Internalise their devine being)\nSome are Monotheists like Christians\nSome are Polytheists like Pagans, Druids, Witches, Rosicrucians, FreeMasons, Knights Templar etc\nand finally apart from these you have Agnostics, those who not yet have found which path they wish to tread.
