In this video clip Rob Bell asked me one too many questions. If you see a builder point at your foundation and say “Is that really strong enough? Is it possible that your house may fall down if I build it here? Isn’t it more likely that the cement that was used is too sandy? Are you sure it will last for ever? Is your foundation-layer really like that?” It is IMPOSSIBLE to conclude anything other than that the questioner... Read more
In this clip I tell Rob Bell that because he has a very different approach to the Bible, it is hard to accept him as an Evangelical. I also explain that the main reason for the anger of many evangelicals is that we have learned to expect and to a certain extent accept this kind of teaching from others outside the evangelical movement but within the broader Christian movement. Surely Bell is just another neo-liberal just like Steve Chalke. What... Read more
Jesus tells us himself that there IS a hell, that it is a ” place of torment” (Luke 16:28) “where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched” (Mark 9:48) . Sounds like as Grudem puts it “eternal conscious punishment” to me! That’s what Jesus says about hell, but Rob redefines it when he says (sorry that I do not have page numbers for some of these quotes, because I read it on the Kindle, if anyone... Read more

As part of the preparation for my face to face debate with Rob Bell, I created an extensive set of notes to make sure I was clear what I wanted to say. I originally felt that I wanted to at least delay commenting on this issue, but I have now decided that this is a sufficiently important controversy, with sufficient interest from others, and so much at stake, that I should convert that set of notes into a fairly substantial...
