There are 4 brief videos below:
- Trailer for a documentary on Rob Bell, The Heretic, 3 minutes
- Pastor Joe Schimmel describing Rob Bell’s theology on hell, 13 minutes
- Pastor Schimmel completing Bell’s teachings on hell, 10 minutes
- Rob and Kristen Bell discussing their book on marriage: Zimzum of Love, 2 minutes
Bell is no longer a pastor but has written books and is a conference speaker; therefore, this post is instructional for those who might encounter his heretical writings and conference teachings.
Bell is trendy, hip…, but is a Pied Piper, leading biblically illiterate “Christians” down the broad way to eternal destruction with his pleasant, reassuring words that all will be saved.
Pastor Schimmel’s videos expose the false teachings of Rob Bell and Brennan Manning; comparing them to scriptures which Schimmel explains in an orthodox manner. That is, Schimmel demonstrates just how far from the Bible Bell and Manning stray.
If you follow Bell, Manning…then you have to deny Christ’s words in scripture. That is an eternal error!
The movie trailer is very informative and Franklin Graham is shown warning against Bell’s teachings.
Rob Bell is a universalist and basically believes that all will be saved and that God greatest attribute is love. That is, Bell is an unbiblical teacher. Pastor Schimmel explains how Bell errs.
While downloading a picture of Bell, I came across a movie about him titled The Heretic. The trailer from that movie is first below:
Part one of pastor Schimmel’s critique on Bell wherein he calls hell a purgatory; says the way of life is broad and easy and many more statements that contradict Jesus:
Part Two of critique: Bell and Manning’s beliefs are compared with scriptures, mostly from Revelation:
The next 2 minute video is about a book that Rob Bell and his wife Kristen are selling (2015), it is about marriage. If you know anything about eastern religion, you can hear it being blended with some Christian ideas. The book has a distinct New Age flavor with terms such as “energy” and “universe” most New Agers would feel right at home.
If you abide in the word of God, then you must hate such false teachers, as they directly contradict the Lord Jesus Christ, just like satan did in the Garden:
Gen 3:2 And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden,
Gen 3:3 but God said, ‘You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.'”
Gen 3:4 But the serpent said to the woman, “You will NOT surely die.
The serpent contradicted God’s Word, just like Bell, Manning, McLaren, Warren, Hinn…do!
We all know what happened because Eve believed the serpent. If you believe Bell, and his fellow false prophets, then your soul is doomed, and the souls of your spouse and children….
Spend some of your time wisely and read through the Bible, it is truth. My first read through the Bible enabled me to see many unbiblical things around me, in church.
