I just got back from the senior pastors' conference for large churches in the ELCA and had several conversations about Rob Bell's latest book, "Love Wins." Some think that he is asking the questions that we've been avoiding for years while others think that he crosses the line into heresy. If nothing else, he has rattled the evangelicals' cage and caught the attention of many young people who have turned their back on a church that teaches eternal punishment.
Is Rob Bell a universalist?
Does hell exist and if so is anyone in it?
Doesn't God get whatever God wants--everyone to go to heaven?
Is heaven out there somewhere or is heaven what we create here?
Is our concept of heaven and hell correct?
Get the book. Read the first three chapters. And meet me on Wednesday night, May 11, for three weeks beginning at 7:00. It should be a pretty interesting conversation.
Peace,
Pastor Scott
