But I have read a few reviews and hundreds of headlines.
Seems that Bell denies the reality of hell. So what? Well, if hell does not exist is heaven a myth, too? If hell does not exist is there any reason to repent of our sin and turn to Christ? If hell does not exist is the gospel relevant at all?
The biblical response is that hell is reall and so is heaven. Repentance and turning to Christ is necessary for salvation. The gospel is relevant.
I'd like to see more splash in the news and on the social networks about the "Good News" and men and women who are getting the gospel to people around the world.
I'm not against all the people who are talking about Bell. This is a real-life application of the illustration many preachers have used at one time or another. How do authorities train agents to identify counterfeit currency? Not by examining the fake bills but by examining the real thing so closely that a counterfeit is obvious.
Rob Bell's gospel is a counterfeit and all the noise is the legitimate reaction.
