If you are a Christian in between the ages 18-50 who enjoys reading and has access to news, you have probably heard about the whole Rob Bell situation. Basically- there has been a lot of hub-bub about his new book, Love Wins. Mainly on the subject of Hell. In Bell's promo video, it seems that Bell is proposing the idea that no one will be in Hell, that a loving God would not send someone to Hell simply for not believing in him.
I have my personal opinions, and I will let you have yours. I have believed Rob Bell has had beliefs that go against scripture for quite awhile and he hides it behind clever videos and sayings- but I'm not going into that here. I believe Universalism is wrong, and even more, I think it is dumb for Christian pastors to preach that, because if everyone goes to Heaven despite what they do, why would anyone come to church? But a blog is no place to post one's personal opinions. O wait.....
Love Wins was released today, and I believe this will be a day people remember for a while. Not necessarily because something extraordinary is going to happen, but because everyone has an opinion, and it is hard to have a "well, it doesn't really matter" type opinion when someone with alot of influence says that there might not be a Hell.
So today is officially Love Wins-day. I got you a card.
