PG saw a link for “What We Talk About When We Talk About God by Rob Bell.” The first sign of trouble was the video starting by itself as the window opened. Auto start is the work of the devil.
So, the equal sign/arrow duality was clicked (does anyone know which is stop and which is play?), and the man started to talk. He had the preacher cadence, his voice rising and falling in every sentence. At one minute and one second, he said that for many people today, G-d is like Oldsmobile. There is only two minutes and nine seconds left, so it won’t hurt to listen to the rest.
There were few surprises in the rest of the video. Some people don’t agree with what they are told about G-d. Others believe, but don’t like it. Mr. Bell, in the biggest non surprise of all, has a book coming out, What We Talk About When We Talk About G-d. The video is a sales pitch for the book.
While looking for material to go with this post, PG found a 1932 cartoon. A young man rescues Lucille, and takes her driving in his Oldsmobile. The man and woman get married. The Parson does not look, or sound, like Rob Bell.
The youtube comment crowd is pushing pixels. javawocky I think you need to decide who you are going to trust – Rob Bell, or Jesus Christ. You may have noticed the Rob never quoted a single scripture here, its just his ideas. Rob never performed miracles, he never rose from the dead, and he never lived a sinless life. I strongly urge you go back and seriously study what the bible says not Rob Bell. kueagle1 No, I disagree. You believe or you don’t believe. Preachers like Bell are preaching to tickle liberal ears, not what is in the bible. The preacher here is talking about advocating the new modern liberal attitudes of reinterpreting the bible in ways to support their present opinions. What is written plainly in the bible doesn’t seem to matter, only the liberal heresy.
