Controversial opinions I have

So here some controversial opinions I have regarding Christianity and God and humanity (Idk if any of its heretical), though I would love to hear everyone elses opinions on my opinions.

So my first controversial opinion, I dont think wrath and hate are in Gods nature (or at least Wrath and Hate in how we humans understand it), I do think God hates sin, and I think he definitely does punish, but I dont think God actively hates humans, or he desires to punish some and not punish others, I also dont think he takes joy from punishing his creation.

I think especially in modern day in some strands of Christianity which follow the Augustinian thought, we have assigned to much legalistic understanding of God and assigned him properties of hate and wrath, which may not have been there in the original Greek and Hebrew of the Bible. I think this has done great harm to Christianity in the west, that we become such legalistic, we have forgotten mercy and tenderness, and have removed almost all the Love from God.

I think we are predisposed to sin because of our fallen nature, but because of how we were created in the image of God, we are also predisposed to a greater degree to do Good. Yes humans do evil and do sin, but I think most people are predisposed more to help others, and give. We do fall and do evil, but I also think we have a stronger predisposition to do Good (now this is not to say that just doing good can get you into Heaven, that is objectively not true, the only way to Heaven is through Christ)

Probably the most controversial is that, I am a hopeful universalist at the very least, and the very most I am a purgatorial universalist. I think there is good reason and a definite good chance, that God shall save all. I also think it is the responsibility of every Christian to pray and hope that all men shall be saved, and we should take no joy, in the idea of any being condemned. God definitely doesn't, so why should we?.

Thus I think we should pray that all men shall be saved, and none shall have the fires of hell lick there heels. Anyways these are some controversial opinions I have, I would love to hear others thoughts and opinions and corrections you may have. God Bless and love you all :)
