I spoke to Charon just the other day.
Does this mean heaven is not an option for them, or that Hell might be where they are headed, as they are not believers? I guess the operative words are “not accept.” But just to be clear, an answer would be helpful.
Thanks.
The original statement should have just been applied to those who do not accept Christ. They will not escape judgment whether they live in darkest Africa or in the middle of the Vatican. Nobody comes to the Father any other way but through Christ. And Christ warned about the horrors of hell more than everybody else in the Bible combined. To reject the realiltly of hell is to reject Christ.
“the redemptive work of Jesus may be universal — meaning that, as his book’s subtitle puts it, “every person who ever lived” could have a place in heaven, whatever that turns out to be.”
A lie straight from the pit.
Knock - Knock (on the gates of heaven)
St. Peter: “Who’s there?”
“Rob Bell”
St. Peter: “Hey everyone, it’s BOB DOLE — come on in!”
Rob Bell: “No, I’m ROB BELL, not Bob Dole”
St. Peter: “Who the Hell is Rob Bell — let me check -— oh yes, you are the one who doesn’t believe in Hell. I’ll be right back”
St. Peter: “I have checked with the boss, he recommended that you visit Hell.”
The bottom line in all this is quite clear. Rob Bell is wiser than God ... and more socially connected and relevant. Who needs the Bible when you’ve got Rob’s book?
Good movie.
Thank you.
