Rob Bell Trashes the Bible and Marriage on Oprah
Christian Post ^ | 2/19/15 | Michael Brown

Posted on 02/20/2015 7:21:59 PM PST by SoFloFreeper

For those who had any questions, Rob Bell has now made himself totally clear: He is willing to trash parts of the Bible as "letters from 2,000 years ago" when God's Word contradicts his views on same-sex "marriage."

Bell appeared on Oprah's Super Soul Sunday program together with his wife Kristen to promote their new book The Zimzum of Love: A New Way of Understanding Marriage. In an interview last December, Bell explained that on page 16 of the book, he and Kristen give their "whole hearted affirmation" to same-sex "marriage."

That was no surprise in light of his announcement in 2013 that he supported redefining marriage. In fact, that had been his position for years, although he had not proclaimed it publicly prior to 2013.

But on Oprah's show, he and Kristen went much further, dismissing the words of Scripture and criticizing churches that were determined to be faithful to God.

A former pastor from Grand Rapids, Michigan. Sickening to see someone who once professed to preach the Word of God ignore the same.

The Bible is what it is. And Rob Bell will have to meet the Great White throne.

Well, the New Testament is made up of “letters from 2000 years ago”; gee, who was alive about 2000 years ago? Seems to slip my mind....

To liberals nothing matters but advancing the agenda to destroy our culture. Facts, testimony, etc; they only count if they help advance the agenda.

I don’t know who Rob Bell is. I have always liked the last name “Bell” but he is spoiling it for me.

if we were desiging the world, we MIGHT say...WTF...let guys marry each other for all we care

but we are not designing the world

the design is that of the maker

so....guys can live together, yes
and
we won’t discriminate against them in normal daily life out in the public square, yes

but whatever they say, its not “marriage”

See ‘tzimtzum’. A Jewish concept having nothing at all to do with Bell’s theme.

Yes, another word for his brain. This poor idiot is in it for the money. Sad to say he has chosen money over faith. 1 Timothy 6:10: For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Based on the photo, I'm going to guess that Zimzum of Love has something to do with hummers, and his wife is a beard. Just a guess. But don't be surprised ...

**Do we know what a zimzum is?***

Not sure but there is a Zamzam well in Mecca.

It is easy to reinterpret scripture when you redefine what a “sin” is first. If there is no sin there need be no forgiveness or repentance: therefore if it feels good—do it!!!

'Gays cant marry the sex of their choice because the Bible says not to' is not an argument that has a chance of success to make law today.

But I have an idea on this.

Is this really natural? photo homo demot_zpsj3w1sioc.jpg
