Rob Bell Research Paper

873 Words4 Pages

Rob Bell argues that no one will spend eternity in hell because eventually God will save all people. From my perspective, I believe Mr. Bell is a “Universalist” which basically means he believes all people will eventually be saved through Christ. It took me a while to wrap my head around the idea of just anyone getting into heaven. I came to agree with Mr. Bell to a certain because its highly plausible that Hell is purgatorial with God sentencing unworthy people to Hell for a reformation. Now I believe God leaves this door open before and after death because that’s the type of almighty being we were taught about. The one who forgives all no matter the sins he/she has committed in their lifetime. Personally, I would like to believe that even the worst human being can come around especially if God tries His best. …show more content…

In the Old Testament, there is not a Hebrew word for hell but there are references to death. Grave, pits death and Sheol are a bit vague with still giving an underworld feel. Within the New Testament the Greek word “Gehenna” is where the word Hell comes from. Gehenna in Jesus’s day was a dump. Bell makes a case about the description of Hell (fire, gnashing of teeth, and torment) are about the town garbage pile. He states the word Hell refers to the large amount of evil within our hearts that also causes chaos when we fail to live by God’s rules. Disobedience is highly disrespectful to God we can refer to Moses in the book of Numbers who was banned from the promised land due to being disobedient. God tasked he and Aaron to gather people around, speak to a rock and pour out its water in front of them. Moses instead disobeyed a direct order from God by hitting the rock instead of speaking to it, he took credit for the miracle and he committed such a sin in front of a crowd. We must learn by example if we are to make it to our promised land (Heaven) to be with the

    Pastor and author Rob Bell is a phenomenon hard to avoid. His best-selling books (e.g., Velvet Elvis) and his popular Nooma video series have made him an attractive figure for many Christians during the past six or seven years. Ten thousand souls attend his Mars Hill Bible Church in a suburb of Grand Rapids. Hailed as either an enfant terrible or on the leading edge of evangelicalism, Bell is deliberately provocative, iconic, and charismatic. He appeals to “hipster Christianity”—a younger, edgier, and less traditional form of church that challenges established patterns of worship, teaching, and Christian practice.1 While attending a talk he gave to a packed room, I noted that Bell draws in many through his postmodernist ethos—informality, humor,

    In inferno, Dante divides Hell up into three major subdivisions based upon the type of sin committed, but two subdivisions that sit apart from the sinful divisions. Outside of Hell circles is the Vestibule, where the cowardly souls who refused to commit to either virtue or vice are punished. The First Circle is where those virtuous pagan souls who died unbaptized or who died prior to the coming of Christ reside. They can’t be saved, but neither are they truly punished in the same tortuous ways that Dante described as those deeper into Hell.
