Wow, Rob Bell is calling for people to repent? If I had to guess, I’d say he rejects the whole concept because “Love Wins” and everyone ends up in Heaven. . .right Rob? However, it’s predictable coming from Bell because he’s calling on people to “repent” from believing in the Bible.
I’m sure this will keep the pieces of silver rolling in from the itchy-eared people who want to delude themselves that they’re Christians. Believe and be obedient or don’t waste your time folks.

The greatest commandment is to love God. The Bible says we demonstrate our love of God by obeying Him. The second greatest commandment is to love our neighbors as ourselves. When you love someone, you don’t let them die in their sins. You try to reach them with the truth, so they can be saved.
Homosexual sex is sinful. I didn’t make the rules. God did. Like you wrote, I don’t know why people even bother trying to make scripture say what it quite clearly does not say. If they refuse to repent, why not just toss the Bible in the trash and do what they please? Why bother trying to justify themselves and their sins?
