book review on Rob Bell's “Love Wins”

This book was quite openly condemned by some prominent Christian leaders when the book was first announced back around Spring 2011, mainly mainly accusing Bell of being a universalist and denying the existence of hell. Lots of leaders formed opinions about the book and thus lots and laypeople took on various opinions as their own without much insight or research.

They decided their opinions based on the blurb and promo video which posed provocative questions about the doctrine of hell. The book starts up asking lots of questions c...

How is it that theologians with a futurist view of eschatology… decided that all throughout the New Testament the term “this generation”  DOES mean the first-century generation EXCEPT for Matthew 23:36 and Matthew 24:34 (Also Mark 13:30 and Luke 21:32)?   These two “time texts” form book ends for the “sign texts” in between…  (Matt. 23:36) “Truly I say to you, all these things shall come upon this generation.” (Matt. 24:34) “Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.”   Well, WHO EXA...

What Happened to Hobbies?

...finish a book a month, even when I said I’d finish one a week. So what was I into? What did I spend all my time doing? The answer probably won’t surprise you: Social media and Netflix had taken over my free time. WHY ARE WE LESS PRODUCTIVE THAN WE'VE EVER BEEN BEFORE? Tweet This! Facebook was by far the worst time-suck of them all. I’d be working on a homework assignment and the moment my brain let its guard down, I’d open Facebook without even thinking about it.
