A Few Thoughts on an Interview with Rob Bell

Rob Bell, a very popular pastor/book-writer/theologian, recently published a book entitled, Love Wins: A book about Heaven, Hell, and the fate of every person.  I have not read this book. However, I intend too...If anyone has a copy, may I borrow it so I don't have to spend the money?

I have no shame in going on the record and saying I believe Rob Bell takes away from the gospel by watering it down and presenting it in a pluralistic fashion.  In a recent interview, Rob Bell got asked some questions that I feel a "theologian", especially one who is responsible for as many people as he is, should be able to answer fairly easily (or at least attempt to answer).  But he struggled to find a good answer, and avoided the questions throughout.  Let me know what you think:








I'd really appreciate some feedback on this one.  Honestly, I blatantly disagree with what I've heard him say,  but I'd like to hear from others who either agree or disagree as well. Specifically on the question, "Is God all-powerful, but does not care for His people, or is it that He cares, but is not all-powerful?"  I'll tell you right now that I think the answer is, "Neither."

Thanks,
-Matt
