A mission
of the Sjolander Rd Fellowship, Baytown, Texas
Background
and Purpose: Sjolander Road Fellowship came into existence in
1990, the outgrowth of an extended study of biblical eschatology
(end time events). This study resulted in a marked departure from
Orthodox Christian eschatology, which always anticipates a dramatic
conclusion to human history in the imminent future. The eschatological
outlook of this fellowship is akin to that of fulfilled or covenant
eschatology, which recognizes a 1st Century completion of all God's
work in Christ.
Since
its beginning Sjolander Road Fellowship has been involved in an
effort to better understand the long term implications of a fulfilled
eschatology. In this effort a greater appreciation of God and his
nature has emerged, including the recognition that God cannot fail
in His stated purpose to save all mankind (Romans 5:18-19; I Timothy
2:3-4, 4:10; I Corinthians 15:22). Viewing God's redemptive work
as truly universal, not just in potential but in fact, not only
restores the majesty of God but also answers so many of the nagging
issues which trouble Orthodoxy. This understanding, variously known
as "comprehensive grace" or "ultimate reconciliation",
provides a viable biblical viewpoint without many of the logical
inconsistencies and obvious ethical problems so pronounced in traditional
Christian theology.
It
is for the purpose of sharing this new view of God and his purpose
for mankind that this web site is dedicated.
Thank
