I don’t know Rob but I have heard his theology and views and totally disagree with most of them, but I cannot and should not stand in judgment of him or others who come from the same emerging church movement. While I do believe Christians should rebuke “Christian” leaders for teaching false doctrine I think the best thing we can do personally and collectively is pray. Pray that JESUS will be preached and lived in stereo without the radio edits.

What an opportunity missed for sure though!

Anybody on that panel, including his unholiness Dalai Lama, could have offered the same kind of worldly wisdom. Frankly, I’m surprised Oprah wasn’t up there with the rest of them.

If Bell was was a true representative of true Christianity, the gospel would have found it’s way from his heart and out of his mouth offering wisdom from a biblical perspective with glory going to whom it belongs, God.

Instead, to the pleasure of the panel and audience, Bell delivered his meanderings from a worldly mind and a smooth talking tongue, minus the offense found in the name of Jesus Christ.

“…they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.” (2 Timothy 4:3 )

I didn’t have a chance to see the entire conference in which he spoke so I have just a very limited view of Bell’s comments. Whoever did the clips was obviously trying to get their point or agenda across.

From my recollection, he didn’t say anything unscriptural. I think he did a great job contextualizing the Christian message to the present audience, maybe for us in the Bible belt we would have love to hear him name drop Christ. In Rob’s defense, Christ said, “they will know us by our love (not the names we drop).”

He makes some great points but unless it’s based on and pointed to Christ…then what’s the purpose? Like Gabe said, when you get the opportunity to proclaim the name of Christ, what would ever cause us not to?
