    I want to point out that in Lev 18 all this same sex marriage stuff is called an aobiminatin for which God will wipe out even pagan nations.

    But not sure if the rules for this board allow me to say that.

    It's allowed. It's Scripture.

    Rob Bell has gone off the deep end. :(

    American States are falling one by one to the same-sex marriage disaster.

    Christians are voting in favor of it - Catholic and Protestant.

    Lev 18 states that the nation will be destroyed that runs down this path.

    More and more European nations are leaping off this cliff.

    Things on planet earth will be taking a turn for the worse - and woe unto us when they do.

    God said that Babylon would never be rebuilt - Saddam Housein decided to put that to the test - he quickly met his demise.
    God said that Europe would remain divided forever - after the fall of the Pagan Roman Empire (in Dan 7 and Daniel 2) - the EU is trying to put that to the test step by step.
    God said that any nation that does the things listed in Lev 18 - will be wiped out. America is stepping up to the point of putting God to the test on that point.


    in Christ,

    Bob

    Homosexuals and hetrosexuals BOTH need to receive jesus as their Lord and saviour and have reconcilliation with God!

    God CANNOT condone and approve same sex relationship, regardless what the US does, for that is abomination to Him, to have a man lay with another man as if he was a woman!

    Rob Bell demonstrates to us what happens when we forsake sounf doctrine for whatever seems right to sinners and society!

    Yep. And about to 'come out'.

    I told my wife weeks ago that he looks wicked in his countenance.

    For a glimpse on his feelings about Christ and His resurrection, take a gander here, it tells the whole story about how he feels about Christ:

    22 But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: “A dog returns to his own vomit,”[e] and, “a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire.”

    I have read other comments similar to yours on other boards. His “arguments” are no different than those Susan Russell (Episcopal contributor and gay activist on 'an inch at a time' website) -and, of course they contradict the clear teaching of Scripture and 2000 years of Christian witness. What I found most telling was when Andrew suggested that perhaps God should be conceded the right to declare what was evil, not Rob Bell based on his “experience”, Bell had no answer. He kept evading Wilson's questions 'how did you arrive at this conclusion?'

    You can tell right? I have been around people that just give off a bad (for lack of a better word) feeling. Something in your spirit says this just isn't right.

    What I don't get is how they can even defend their position when scripture is so clear about it! I guess the devil is blinding them to the truth. That's the only explanation I know of.

    Yes Amy. Christ tells us this, He tells us and warns us. Blessed be His Name! This is one way in which he directs our steps.

    Watching this now and so far all I can say is this guy is nuts!

    Why even bother to claim you're a Christian? This stuff is so far off the mark it doesn't even resemble Christianity!

    He looks at the resurrection of Christ as redundant, mundane, and nothing special. That tells everyone what he thinks of Christ. Therefore his christ is not the Christ of Scripture.

    But his examples are outright lies, yet the thing is, many would believe his words and not look into it. Frankly to me he comes across as demonic.

    I expect many 'baptists' to rush in and defend him & I would not be surprised.

    I saw the news the other night on the first homosexual 'marriage' in France. All the talk was about "love."

    Unless we everyday Christians "take back" basics like love so that we can explain the difference to our friends, neighbors, and relatives, the 'vote' will continue to go against God's word. We have let them define the terms of the debate.

    If there is no salt, there is no hope for this country. Just warming the pew and saying "amen' will not cut the mustard on this issue.

    God will judge a nation which affirms and celebrates sin. That includes this sin and also the sin of murdering 50 million babies since Roe vs. Wade.

    You are absolutely right! The holocaust going on in the abortion mills is a stench in the Lord's notrils.

    Amy is right too. In the video Bell looked 'slimy' and constantly annoyed. Again, Andrew Wilson got back to the bedrock when he insisted that God be the arbiter of what is actually right and wrong, regardless of our feelings or experience. Whenever I have had this discussion with gay rights advocates, they always insist that their éxperience' over-rides all. Bell keeps insisting that the gay lifestyle is here and we just better get ready to swing the church pulpits open to gays in çommitted same-sex relationships (as the Presbies, UCC, Episcopal Church, ELCA, and some Mennonite churches have done). Right at the end Wilson sealed the deal and showed Bell up as one who had placed himself above God and the authority of scripture.

    Bell looked like he needs more fiber in his diet.
