His latest book "Love Wins: Heaven, Hell and the fate of every person who ever lived" has ignited a theological firestorm.

Lol i cant believe the amount of hipocritic things that have been said by this man and bball1989

@Drummerboiz19 The Bible is mostly metaphors. So"biblical evidence" would be nothing more then what you take that out to be. Rob bell just takes the metaphors and uses them to try and help people understand what they mean by simular situations in everyday life. Just try to get out of the box and see it in different views. Love many things, but you don't have to agree to it just appriciate

@henryforshaw If that's the direction you'll keep coming from, I can only pray for you. Once we step away from the Bible, it's easy to make God in our own image. I can only hope and pray you realize that you're wrong, repent of your sins and turn to Christ. God bless.

@Drummerboiz19 your still not listening as predicted. The vast majority of biblical scholars do not agree with your view. Therefore it is your task to provide the evidence and justify that the bible is the word of God. Which you cant do, because its already been discussed over hundreds of years and really it has been debunked. You are a bigot because you are not prepared to consider your view wrong, because if you did you would change your mind pretty quickly.

[Drummerboiz19]

@henryforshaw I've listened and it lacks any biblical evidence. The verses used are taken out of both the context of the passage and out of the context of the Bible in general. If you'd like to try tripping me up with verses, be my guest. Otherwise, you're wasting your time calling me a bigot and not a truth-seeker.

@Drummerboiz19 Did you even read what I wrote. If you could listen to the other side of the argument you wouldn't believe such crap. "the bible being the word of God is a minority view amongst biblical scholars." Become a truth seeker and realise that God is love.

@djcg I just went to the Hebrew/Greek Lexicon and I couldn't find one use of the word "aeon" in the Bible. Even if it is used, the meaning of the word is "eternal" or "forever." It means both "life" and "forever" or "eternal." We literally have a word that translates into eternal life. I really hope you won't take the view of the Word of God being falible as the other guy I'm debating has. Ultimately, you have to decide to side with Scripture or Rob Bell.

[Drummerboiz19]

@henryforshaw Did you know that 2 Timothy 3:16 says all Scripture is God-breathed? Did you know that John 1 says in the beginning was the Word, and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us? I'm not a bigot. You're a heretic. The fact that you simply say an argument looks "compelling" and continue to stand by it is absolutely terrifying. Unless you have Scriptural evidence to back up what you are saying (keep in mind they have to go along with what I already posted), don't call me a bigot.

@Drummerboiz19 did you know that the bible being the word of God is a minority view amongst biblical scholars. I have looked it up and the case looks compelling for it being a mistranslation. If you hold up the bible and claim it to be the 100% word of God then you are a bigot.

[Drummerboiz19]

@henryforshaw Probably because you were told that by someone like Rob Bell. If you really want to know what the word means, go to Bible college and learn Greek and Hebrew. Don't rely on people like this to tell you how the Bible should or shouldn't be translated. If it's mistranslated, why do all the translations translate it the same way?
