Dave Dorr on Love Wins

He writes:

Twenty-first century Americans are asking the question, “How can a loving God send people to hell?” But the Bible doesn’t answer that question. When we become Christians we don’t just get answers to OUR questions, we get new questions.

For that is the essence of understanding: to see where another is coming from — not bringing our paradigms or experience to what another person is saying. This seems to be what Bell’s friends and fans are demanding for Bell, but in fairness, Bell needs to do that with the Scriptures.
