Rob Bell's false teaching has embraced paganism and merged it into postmodernism, an anti-Christian philosophy teaching the impossibility of absolute truth. He doesn't preach the whole Word of God, he just seems to twist the Bible into an alternate theology. So, you would have to conclude there is nothing Christian about this person.
this is an amazing video. we watched it at our youth group today (yes, i'm christian) and it really has a great point. if you don't see the point or agree with it, that's your choice. but in love, u do need all 3 flames to make things the best they can be!
body needs and spiritual relationship with God are complete different categories.but if you love someone and he or she loves you back,you would already have tons of flames ,and nothing extinguishes it.
on the one hand I realize how a someone with a secular view of sex (christian or non) would view what Rob is saying with a perplexed look. Societies view of sex is that of a super selfish gratification, a mindless in-out for you to use as a weapon and status symbol. Just listen to song lyrics these days, 99% of the time the equate love to sex.
I like how the dude below me like to blame God for everything. There is something called "free will" God gave to human. so we can choose, instead of been programmed robots.
I like how you like to blame God for something us the humans mess up on. and for that guy how said about sex-and-God connection thing... well, you should read the bible before you say something moronic. read song of Solomon.

there are hundreds of religions on earth ,some earlier than christianity some later,bottom line ,whoever loves in this world does not nead the so called flame of christ ,do not combine christianity with sex -love-emotions .we're all humans,many christians end up devorcing,who's to blame then? christ? flame ?
It is worth buying this video from Nooma - there is a CRAZY big fire at the end - it's a perfect picture of love as God is and as He wants us to have.
If you have trouble understanding this video, I recommend "Scared Marriage" by Gary Thomas and "Rocking the Roles" by Dr. Robert Lewis.
It is spiritual, emotional, and physical. It has the ability to bind a man and a woman in all those aspects. Thats what God meant. I don't quite understand what you mean by seeing the face of Christ during the physical relationship though...
sex is spiritual? doesnt make sence at all,why would you combine religion with love?if religion is importan to love your wife or husband ,then why dont you remember the face of christ during your physical relationship with your partner?
it's so true just like he say's you cant get the warmth of all 3 flames burning togther when you only have 1 flame. you cant possibly have anything that works with only 1 flame you have to have all 3 flames buring as one.
i love Love.

I thought I had my walk, my journey and my expectations of love all figured out, until I saw this Nooma!

Bell is solid. I just read his book "Sex God" and it blew my mind.

I think the real point to this video was, that, to achieve total fulfillment in love and life, is to set on fire a whole lot of sticks.
So lets not lose track of what he's really teaching us.
