Love Falls Short in Rob Bell's Love Wins and The Shack by Paul Young

Rob Bell, pastor of Mars Hill Bible Church and author of Love Wins and William P. Young, author of The Shack have been the center of attention on the subject of universalism. Yet neither are universalists. They both believe free will may keep people in Hell forever. True Biblical universalists believe Jesus Christ is the Savior of the whole world.

If there is a an eternal hell that is real, then how does love win?

to add, this Love Wins message is only the second time in the last decade there's been an explosion of joy and a YES!!! the last one was from Clark's book, I mention below. I am excited about this redefinition of hell.... very excited... makes me believe that god really is good, which is a huge relief

God is Soverign, but what kind of soverignty does he have - cause there are many types of soverignty - and accordingly different ways to define this word. Clark Pinnock has some helpful ideas on this, it's called the openness of god. I recommend it. Thanks for your work.

@Cutie9326 -.I hear ya! .Won't he show you your own hypocrisy? Yes, we definitely ALL was something at one time and still have our own struggles and issues. OH yes, Tentmaker is a good site, I have been fed deeply by many things on that site..Gary is prosecuted greatly of course and all of us who believe this, but it is all good with me. I know that God is shaking literally the 'hell' out of people the past few years. lol!!! Yes, Pun intended on that one...Yes girl, we need to talk soon..

@SPOKENFOR36 Lol!!! I should know. I was one of the Pharisaical hypocrites until he showed me my hypocrisy. And I'm not afraid to confess my sin. And I'm not done struggling with my issues yet. But I know God will finished the work He started in me. I love the Tentmaker site. I've devoured countless of his inspiring teachings and I can't get enough. I'm looking forward to discuss with you Spokenfor36...

@Cutie9326 --I believe it sis! He definitely is using him now..! Just can't say I am be quiet ..lol!!!

[Cutie9326]

@SPOKENFOR36 Let Gary deal with the Pharisaical hypocrites. Believe me, when he's through with them, you're gonna see some change. Mark my word. Just stand back and watch how God works through him...

*Hungry and dreamy eyes* All that knowledge! Book shelves upon book shelves! Thousands of books on UR! Enough to satisfy my hunger for a lifetime! Oh, how I would love to have those thousands of books!

@keithlmh Go to the Tentmaker site and study these things for yourself. And like I said, it's tree of life and not book of life. But considering you talked about a book of life, I'm gonna guess you're using a KJV. It's not "innerant" as the KJV-only cult thinks. It has errors in it just like all translations. The word forever and ever should never have been translated that...
