04:08 "time is just a persistent illusion" sounds like a quote from Netflix's show "Dark". Which delves into the concept of time, btw. Amazing show. Very philosophical.

[@jessjenkins5474]

That show is probably my favourite on Netflix. Absolutely amazing.

New consciousnesses arise around us all the time. The idea that this is the only universe that has ever existed and will ever exist where sentient life is possible, as just as conceited as thinking that the earth is the center of the universe. Doesn't necessarily have to relate to a soul or something, but thinking that this life is somewhat unique seems foreign to me.

Thank you for this episode. I've already ordered Rob's new book. Thought provoking

[@springbird21]

So good! Can’t wait to see/hear Bell’s Joy thingy, lol... I don’t mean any disrespect!

Not one reference to what the Bible says.

[@henrieecen2938]

The trouble is that we worship the Bible which itself is only meant to reveal who we truly are (Galatians 1/16) Please brother all sincere Christians are on a progressive journey and are at different points of understanding. The journey does not end until we see Him face to face and we shall know Him as He now knows us. (1st Corinthians 13). Personally the most hurtful experiences I've had are from my brethren, I believe Jesus also had them and was crucified for being a heretic. Shalom and bless you as you continue your own journey.❤

Our spirit returns to the Spirit of God because we were created since the Eternal Now. It cannot die or disappear. “We are Spirit. We have a Soul. We live in a Body.” (Quote by Watchman Nee)

[@kalvint5898]

Was Rob Bell ever a Christian may be a better question.

[@Maranville]

Was it ever for you to decide would be a good question.

Time is only time because of the planets in motion. The sun and how we move in and thru out. God put those constructs in place. We are all eternal. So time is definitely very interesting. I had an animal pass about a month ago. I miss him. But I know the relevancy of time and truth. So it soothes the pain and the missing. Soon I will see him again. Soon for some could be a day. Soon could be years. But I look at soon from an eternal perspective. And looking back at me now in these moments of missing him, from eternity in heaven with Jesus and this animal, it doesn't hurt at all. Because I can wait. And I see myself more there than I do here. And relate with myself from that eternal perspective of the state of perfection with Jesus where all is restored. And from that is how I live. I love his concept or understanding of the present. That's why life is so cool, especially for those who will get to experience it in it's full design as Jesus intended for eternity with him.

Rob Bell has succeeded in blending historical Christianity with New Age western "feel-good-ism". Jesus was crystal clear about the afterlife and judgement. There will be sheep and there will be goats. And He will be the one determining who is what. Anyone adhering to Rob's teachings is a follower of Rob Bell not a follower of Jesus Christ.

[@natemiller6854]

Glad I'm not the only one here who can clearly see that. All these three are doing is repackaging ancient Greek Stoicism + paganism and selling it as intellectual spirituality. The ignorance in their arrogance is palpable.

[@Maranville]

It's funny how often people talk about "arrogance" when they themselves are the only ones insisting they know the truth with absolute certainty.

[@englishrufat]

Very first comment from heaven! Hii

[@jonnyroyal]

“In the next couple of years…” you are literally using a measure of time to explain people not needing time anymore. That’s ironic haha.

[@kyachannelhey5895]

You should study Islam

[@johnwhite4070]

Christianity is the truth 🙏❤
