"we will b...Here's the Christian rub . . . "we will be known for our love for one another." Ephesians 4:15 tells us to speak the truth in love. Paul does not tell us to speak in a loving way and ignore truth nor does he tell us to ignore love and just speak the truth. The truth is found in the Scriptures, not in the head of Rob Bell nor in mine. I don't want to hear conjecture and new doctrines that come out of heads that struggle with biblical concepts of hell. Either the Bible teaches about the existence of hell or it does not. It has nothing to do with love. If love is what you're after, my friend, stay away from Christianity. Jesus, according to John 1:14 is full of grace and truth. You need to decide, what you want if you're going to follow Jesus. There's only one choice - ask for both. It is unloving not to correct someone like Rob Bell. Is Paul unloving for writing 1 Corinthians when he blasted the believers in Corinth for immoral behavor and false doctrine? No. He was practicing grace and truth. If I do not correct the false teaching of Rob Bell, I do not love Christ nor do I love believers who may be misguided by Bell.Louis Lapideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04937345918099904842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8640230194403714897.post-15937027760805022792011-10-04T12:57:44.449-07:002011-10-04T12:57:44.449-07:00We will be known for our love for one another... ...We will be known for our love for one another... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjRcO1Sm0HUwhatthehellbookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02130667329818040999noreply@blogger.com
