Comments on: How to have a good argument with Rob Bell http://www.afaithtoliveby.com/2011/03/10/how-to-have-a-good-argument-with-rob-bell/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=how-to-have-a-good-argument-with-rob-bell A blog by Neil Powell Sat, 18 May 2013 15:48:04 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4 By: Kevin http://www.afaithtoliveby.com/2011/03/10/how-to-have-a-good-argument-with-rob-bell/#comment-95 Kevin Mon, 21 Mar 2011 14:40:37 +0000 http://www.afaithtoliveby.com/?p=1178#comment-95 Thanks for this piece. I agree that how we discuss these matters is just as important--if not more important--than the conclusions we arrive at. No one can be absolutely certain their views on hell are correct. But we can all be certain that Jesus called us first to love God with all of our heart, mind, soul and strength and to love our neighbors as ourselves. I'm producing a documentary on this very topic this summer (Called "Hellbound?", you can read more about it here: http://www.prlog.org/11383848-new-documentary-brings-hell-debate-to-the-big-screen.html). Hopefully we can practice this simple truth as we seek to bring the hell debate to the big screen. Thanks for this piece.

I think she eloquently captures a crucial thought towards the end of it, when she talks about his reductionist teaching approach. http://maggidawn.com/rob-bell-love-wins/ Have a look at this blog’s views on Mr B.

Sadly there is surprisingly little written on Dimock. Jim Packers contribution is the best and can be found in 'Evangelicals at Oxford, 1735-1905'. Some of Dimock's works are available to read at http://www.archive.org (search for Nathaniel Dimock). Hope that's of some help. Hi Brian. Sadly there is surprisingly little written on Dimock.

Hope you're all well. Sorry it's taken a while to get back. Four talks this weekend! It's not quite either of the two things you suggest. I haven't had an advance copy but I'm not merely reposting someone else's view. I have had access to extended extracts of the book. So unless he contradicts himself in the sections I haven't seen I think the conclusions are justified. Hi Helen. Hope you’re all well. Sorry it’s taken a while to get back. Four talks this weekend!
