Product Information

Bell denies the biblical Hell by stripping Hell of all of the fire, wrath, darkness, and torment that Jesus described. Cornerstone Connections four-year curriculum is structured on the modern-language version of Ellen G. White’s Conflict of the Ages series. The five books provide helpful commentary on the biblical texts in the lessons. Whether you’re a teen or a teacher, you’ll want to have the books available and use them every week. I’m one critic who’s not laughing derisively. In fact, I’m not laughing at all. I find it unfunny, and profoundly troubling, that a former pastor who holds a doctorate from prestigious Princeton Theological Seminary does not have a simple grasp of the Bible’s clear teaching on same-sex sex. I also find it troubling that a leader in the ECM, who has a ton of influence with young people, would lend his support to same-sex “marriage” knowing full well that many undiscerning Christians will adopt his “progressive” view on the subject, simply because they hold him in high regard. “The problem is,” said Ravi Zacharias, “non critical people listening to this stuff absorb it.” Hell is our refusal to trust God’s retelling of our story,” and “We create hell whenever we fail to trust God’s retelling of our story.”

The Conflict of the Ages is a book series written by American religious author Ellen G. White (1827–1915). The series opens a window into the Spiritual warfare that started as a rebellion in heaven by Lucifer before creation of this Earth and the fall of Adam and Eve. The establishment of nation instituted by God and the accounts of the trials and failings of His people allow the reader to learn from the mistakes of the Patriarchs and Kings. Her central book in the series is on the life of Christ. It details God’s reestablishment of His authority over sin by sending His Son to earth to be crucified as an atonement for the sin of all mankind. His resurrection and victory over sin offers everyone the gift of eternal life. The final book relates the history of the Christian reformation and final battle for the inhabitants of this planet. It concludes with the cleansing and restoration and of our universe from Sin after the millennium. What is hard to prove, but seems to me probable, is that one reason why the conscious punishment of hell is ongoing is because sin is ongoing.” (D.A. Carson, The Gagging of God, Leicester, Apollos, 1996, p. 533) (Ref. is made to Stott, Essentials, op. cit., p. 319)As the Spirit of God has opened to my mind the great truths of his Word, and the scenes of the past and the future, I have been bidden to make known to others what has thus been revealed,—to trace the history of the controversy in past ages, and especially to so present it as to shed a light on the fast-approaching struggle of the future. In pursuance of this purpose, I have endeavored to select and group together events in the history of the church in such a manner as to trace the unfolding of the great testing truths that at different periods have been given to the world, that have excited the wrath of Satan, and the enmity of a world-loving church, and that have been maintained by the witness of those who “loved not their lives unto the death.” {GC88 g.1} Martin Bashir was right. Rob Bell is changing the message of the Gospel for the sake of broadening his audience. In his book, Love Wins, Bell tells us that the traditional understanding of Christ’s teaching on Heaven and Hell “isn’t a very good story” (p. 110). Bell wants a story that will make unrepentant rebels against God feel comfortable in their sin. Records the default button state of the corresponding category & the status of CCPA. It works only in coordination with the primary cookie. There is no indication in scripture that a person has a second opportunity to get right with God in Hell. If we reject the light that leads us to Christ, we will simply get the wrath that we deserve, due to our rebellion and sin against the holy and just God. God’s wrath is founded upon His thrice holy character and man’s utter contempt and rebellion against His holy law. Thus, we will have no one to blame but ourselves (Romans 1:18-21; 2:5). The Bible states that “today is the day of salvation” and “now is the acceptable time” (2 Corinthians 6:2). Let us not put off today what we will not be able to do after we die.

Dear reader, if you have not yet turned to Christ for salvation in repentant faith, it is critical that you throw yourself at the feet of the Lord Jesus and accept the sacrifice He made for your sins. Don’t put your faith in Rob Bell over faith and trust in Jesus! The odds are too great, the stakes are too high, and eternity is far too long! It is the purpose of this book to set forth Jesus Christ as the One in whom every longing may be satisfied. There is many a “life of Christ” written, excellent books, large funds of information, elaborate essays on chronology and contemporaneous history, customs, and events, with much of the teaching and many glimpses of the many-sided life of Jesus of Nazareth. Yet it may be truly said, “the half has never been told.” Conflict of the Ages Yet the fact that God has revealed his will to men through his Word, has not rendered needless the continued presence and guiding of the Holy Spirit. On the contrary, the Spirit was promised by our Saviour, to open the Word to his servants, to illuminate and apply its teachings. And since it was the Spirit of God that inspired the Bible, it is impossible that the teaching of the Spirit should ever be contrary to that of the Word. {GC88 d.5} H]e says in his book ‘God’s love melts everything in the end, and at the end of the day, you can be antagonistic toward Christianity, but after you die, God’s love will melt your opposition, and you’ll walk into heaven.” Hopeful universalism finds reason in Scripture to be hopeful that everyone will be saved, but they do not believe that we can be certain of this. Convinceduniversalists, on the other hand, are certain about this, despite of the fact that Christians have traditionally believed that the Bible clearly teaches that some will be eternally condemned.”Contrary to Bell’s heretical teaching that Jesus will accept their repentance later in Hell, Jesus said many “will try to enter and will not be able to.” Emerging Churches seek to reach the lost by focusing on relationships and developing a “story,” a “journey of life” that is expressed through the “narrative” of learning. These words and others are often used by emerging teachers in describing their religious experience. Other terms sometimes used are “reimagine,”“tribe,”“story of Jesus,”“deconstruction,” etc. There is sometimes an ambiguous, feelings-oriented desire to experience God and also share in the lives of people as they seek to find God in their way. Some Emerging Churches are inclusivistic (those outside of Christianity will be saved), while others are not. Some Emerging Churches are environmentally focused, while others concentrate on local issues. Some downplay doctrine, reinterpret creeds, and de-emphasize tradition, while others hold to them. Obviously, it is difficult to define precisely what is emerging and what is not. In a radio interview with Paul Edwards that was conducted after Martin Bashir exposed Bell, Edwards stated that Bashir had raised the ire of the liberal emergent crowd because their Goliath couldn’t answer the questions and was brought down. The Bible points to God as its author; yet it was written by human hands; and in the varied style of its different books it presents the characteristics of the several writers. The truths revealed are all “given by inspiration of God” ( 2 Timothy 3:16); yet they are expressed in the words of men. The Infinite One by his Holy Spirit has shed light into the minds and hearts of his servants. He has given dreams and visions, symbols and figures; and those to whom the truth was thus revealed, have themselves embodied the thought in human language. {GC88 c.4} Conflict of the Ages

Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them.” –John 3:36 The Bible also clearly teaches that those who die with genuine faith in Jesus Christ will be “absent from the body… [and] present with the Lord.” (2 Cor. 5:8, Phil 1:21-23, Hebrews 12:22-23, Revelation 6:9)

He told Edwards that Bell is chipping away at the Gospel and reshaping it so that he will not be offensive, but in effect, he is emptying it of its critical content and at the same time, strategically positioning it as ‘mainstream evangelical.’ Also, I was trying to word this better, but I couldn't because sometimes I am bad at doing that so sorry if it sounds like I'm putting pressure, or I desperately want to you to do it because I don't want to do thatand I have no control over it. Age of War was originally released as a Flash game by Louissi in 2007. It was one of the first base defense games and helped popularize the genre. The game has certainly stood the test of time; it’s still hugely popular today. Nowadays, you can play Age of War in HTML5 for free! More Games Like This The "Conflict of the Ages," a series of five commentaries penned by Ellen White, is one of the most insightful and beautifully written works about the Bible ever produced.

You’re amending the gospel so that it’s palatable to contemporary people who find, for example, the idea of Hell and Heaven very difficult to stomach. So here comes Rob Bell, he’s made a Christian gospel for you and it’s perfectly palatable, it’s easy to swallow.”

Conclusion

Rob Bell’s unscriptural and wild speculation about Hell being a temporary abode is more akin to world religions like Islam, and cults like Mormonism, than it is Christianity! Jesus did not soften the truth about Hell and eternal punishment in an attempt to make His message more palatable to accommodate culture. Rather, Jesus warned about Hell more than all of the prophets and apostles combined. in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. It is a sobering thought that Jesus went on to state in the verses immediately following His teaching on the narrow and broad roads, that false prophets would come in sheep’s clothing (Matthew 7:15-21). Such false prophets stand at the cross roads between the broad and narrow road, claiming to represent Christ, while pointing their followers toward the broad road that leads destruction, assuring them that it eventually leads to Heaven. Consider this for a minute. Isn’t this exactly what Rob Bell is doing?
