Rob Bell—Sermo​n Rebuttal Love Wins: Rob Bell vs. Jesus

[SamWiseGingy]

I am an atheist. What I see in Bell is that he divorces faith from both reason and revelation. If I am debating against a fundamentalists then I can argue that Noah's Ark is not a reasonable proposition. But if I argue with the likes of Bell and point out anything that is unreasonable in the B. he will say I don't believe that part.

It turns out that Bell's Jesus is generally a kinder J. than the fundamentalist Jesus, but loose of the moorings of reas. and rev. Jesus could become a monster.

@stormtrek I'd be happy if they just taught them what a "second temple Jew" is. (stupid spell check)

Oh my goodness. I'm glad Protestant pastors are finally getting challenged. Maybe they can focus more on their theology now rather than their projection screens and coffee bars.

@StormTrek Hey, coffee bars are part of the great commission, aren't they?

[StormTrek]

@fgsltwhghobstwbihsnp You're right, the first thing Jesus did after getting baptized and tempted by the devil was to preach the gospel of Kingdom Coffee(TM).

I don't mind coffee bars at church, I just wish those churches would teach their congregations what things like kingdom of God/heaven really meant to a 1st century second temple Jewish audience. Is that too much to ask?

@StormTrek Apparently. The problem is that Christianity tends to avoid Christianity. Makes sense to me.
