Rob Bell: a Brother to Embrace, or a Wolf to Avoid?

It is every christian's responsibility to Stand Firm in the Faith. What we are to hold firmly to -- is the sufficiency of the Scriptures. Titus 1:9-11 says: "holding fast the faithful word which is in accordance with the teaching, so that he will be able both to exhort in sound doctrine and to refute those who contradict. For there are many rebellious men, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision, who must be silenced because they are upsetting whole families, teaching things they should not teach for the sake of sordid gain.

Below is a link to the website for Grace to You for an article on Rob Bell's teachings examined. Here we include some quotes from that article:  "If, as Jesus said, His sheep hear His voice and follow Him (John 10:27), then we ought to look with the utmost suspicion on anyone who doubts and denies as much of Jesus' teaching as Rob Bell does, and yet claims to be a follower of Christ.

Scripture is crystal-clear about this: "If any one advocates a different doctrine and does not agree with sound words, those of our Lord Jesus Christ, and with the doctrine comforming to godliness, he is conceited and understands nothing" (1 Timothy 6:3-4).

Below is a link for the present article. There will be additional posts added at the website.
