Rob Bell and Andy Stanley show the true spirit (demonic) of Emergent Church, spawned at Fuller Seminary, promoted by WELS, LCMS, ELS, and ELCA. Rob Bell, Larry Olson, David Valleskey, VP Jim Huebner, and many others studied apostasy at Fuller - and they loved it! |
'Love Wins' Author Rob Bell Supports Gay Marriage - US - CBN News - Christian News 24-7 - CBN.com:
Rob Bell, the former "rock star" pastor of Michigan's Mars Hill Bible Church, has come out in support of same-sex marriage.
Speaking during a forum at San Francisco's Grace Cathedral Monday, Bell said the ship of traditional marriage "has sailed."
"Yes, I am for marriage. I am for fidelity. I am for love, whether it's a man and woman, a woman and a woman, a man and a man," he said. "I think this is the world we are living in and we need to affirm people wherever they are." Listen to the full audio of Bell's comments here.
Bell suggested that instead of transforming the world, a "ghettoized, Evangelical subculture" has instead turned people away from Christ.
"I think that when you're in a part of a subculture that is dying, you make a lot more noise because it's very painful. You sort of die or you adapt. And if you adapt, it means you have to come face to face with some of the ways we've talked about God, which don't actually shape people into more loving, compassionate people," he reasoned.
"We have supported policies and ways of viewing the world that are actually destructive. And we've done it in the name of God and we need to repent," he said.
It's not the first time Bell has made waves in evangelical Christian circles. In 2011, Bell caused controversy with his book Love Wins, in which he challenged traditional Christian views of Heaven and Hell.

Andy Stanley, the chaplain of Sodom and Gomorrah, has trained many WELS workers - and they brag about it. Has that helped Fox Valley WELS? Hmmm? |
