So you judge Rob as "wrong" on the basis he isnt a Calvinist? Seems like what you're saying, please correct. // I like an open theists question, "yes god is sovereign, but what type of sovereignty does he have?" // All the OMNI's are greek ideas, not hebrew ideas // Traditional evangelical view of hell comes from Plato, the Jews still dont believe this hell view even today // There's dozens of proof texts for "restoration of all things" // Does your bible say "Jesus get 1 sheep and looses 99"?

@tintinworld "Does your Bible say 'Jesus get 1 sheep and looses 99?" no...but then again you are misapplying Jesus' intention of that parable which was to correct and expose the heart and attitude of the Pharisee toward "sinners" ....I'll tell you what my Bible does say in John 10....jesus says that he is the good shepherd and that he looses none of his sheep and it also says that Jesus told the Pharisees "you are NOT my sheep"...Jesus loses NONE of who he came to save.

@prchdaword If the "forever" view of hell's heart was exposed, what would it contain?

[prchdaword]

@tintinworld not sure if I understand that question correctly, but I'll attempt at what i think you are asking....the "heart" of the "forever" view is a very high view of the majesty and the holiness of God. This is the same view of God that Isaiah encounter and he condemned himself in the light of it. Before God's holiness none of us can stand. God is infinitely holy and when we sin against God our sin is counted by the dignity of the one whom we sin against. Because God is eternally and....

@tintinworld ....and infinitely holy, God does not and CANNOT take sin lightly or as something temporal for God is not a temporal being. He is eternal by his own nature. from our perspective, our sin must be small but God views it from all eternity...with God, there is no "time" per se, even our language fails to say that because we have to use temporal language to say there is no time....either way, God's holiness, his essence and love for and within the trinitarian being of God is at...

@tintinworld ...the heart of the "forever" view of God. As a sinner myself, the holiness of God is not the most "cheerful" thing to talk about because I know I couldn't stand before God in my own sin or even my own "righteousness"....his holiness by nature would destroy me as Isaiah said, he was coming undone! I am not a person's judge but it is my responsibility, and yours as well to be faithful to what God has revealed about himself in Scripture. That is my purpose here. Faithfulness to God.

@prchdaword It seems that you have a naturalised filter of calvinism in your critique. Are you a calvinist? Whilst I ask, I am not intending to label you, rather raise a question for your self-awareness of the way you set up an argument.

[prchdaword]

@tintinworld no, Rob Bell is not "wrong because he is not a Calvinist". I clearly took all of my critiques back to the Scriptures and not to "Platonic" philosophy (of which I am familiar with). The "omni's" are clearly taught in Scripture. The "traditional evangelical" idea of hell comes from Jesus who spoke the most about hell in the Bible. If you would like to see my further treatments of hell and this articles, on my channel you are welcomed to look through my blog where I discuss these

@emerysdaddy9107 Romans 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
