Recently he has declared the Church will, and must change to meet the times by accepting homosexuality and gay marriage. His reasoning? People who love each other should marry. But where does that end? Who defines love and what kind of love is right?
The bible is too old he says and the times have changed. it is not the bible he believes, but himself. Someday too he will be dated and I suppose, his ways will have to change with the culture.
Listed below is an article and the video of his words. He is surely no protestant for he denies Sola Scriptura.
Rob Bell denying Sola Scriptura
Some have replied well to Glorify God and stand by the bible. My question is, why are some not?.
The church won't give
Perhaps we should champion swinger culture, hookup culture and the various other culturally accepted practices regarding sex.
And what from Relevant? Not even a peep, and no article addressing his clear heresy.
The notion that the Gospel needs to be changed to suit the culture has not won the day in the past. The Early Christians, had they applied this would have engaged in drunkenness, orgies, prostitution and idolatry as they were pressured to by the Roman world. Churches that do so die because they abandon God himself. The Gospel is and always has been relevant. It does not need our help. What surprises me is how unsurprised I am. I am disappointed in how many let this happen.
I'm pointing this out, calling them out even. They need to not shy away from exposing heresy no matter how popular a teacher may be. They need to be more discerning, for the sake of their readers and yes even Rob Bell. We cannot stand idly by as sheep are led astray and we certainly cannot abandon a false teacher to his fate. Relevant sits idly by, as do many other Christians. Be aware, put on the full armor of God, and speak the Gospel in Love. I pray for Rob Bell, I pray for that magazine who has the burden of teaching and the responsibility to teach the truth.
"If you believe what you like in the gospels, and reject what you don't like, it is not the gospel you believe, but yourself."
