I have read his book Velvet Elvis - And I just love that he writes the same way that he talks. I could actually hear him in my head as I read.<BR/><BR/>I'm from welkom in South Africa - and his dvds are being used in our youth ministry. We are even using his book in our cell groups. His teaching are profound and carry great meaning - yet it is simple enough for anyone to get the message. He has received a great gift from God. And we feel blessed by it, every time.

Repent is all over the place. I have yet to find a passage that talks about getting in 'rhythm'. Rob Bell never mentions the idea of repentance. This is a new gospel.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10445290207953570558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11840313.post-27211992859101702162007-04-27T11:14:00.000-07:002007-04-27T11:14:00.000-07:00In defense of Rob Bell's teaching, he or someone a...In defense of Rob Bell's teaching, he or someone after he speaks often leaves the listeners with the comment, "Rob does not have the last word. But we are to go ourselves and look into what is being taught and further our knowledge based on that further study and application." <BR/><BR/>I do agree that citing sources is helpful. However, in Rob's defense again, he does list the texts and resources of his studies. I respect that.<BR/><BR/>Grace and peace,<BR/>JohnnyJohnnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12358041344829774766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11840313.post-9641648623879581832007-03-11T00:15:00.000-08:002007-03-11T00:15:00.000-08:00thanks Dan...im going to start writing scholars an...thanks Dan...im going to start writing scholars and ask them to defend their sources! I'm glad you informed Ben (who is no doubt a great scholar) of the source of this source and this source is a rabbi, not an uber evangelical.<BR/><BR/>Hey Ben...will you ever do a full scale critique of popular evangelical sources like Purpose Driven Life? Or say Osteens "Your Best Life Now"? Wonder what sources they use. I'm sure they're not engaging a very wide variety.sam andresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02527189273142486680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11840313.post-1140849379670196642007-03-05T06:28:00.000-08:002007-03-05T06:28:00.000-08:00The song in the NOOMA "Rhythm" is titled "Moonligh...The song in the NOOMA "Rhythm" is titled "Moonlight" (instrumental)by David Vandervelde and isn't included on the NOOMA soundtrack. it is available on itunes.<BR/><BR/>just thought i'd mention itjeremiahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08038731706727789784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11840313.post-65783685718372315652007-03-02T17:42:00.000-08:002007-03-02T17:42:00.000-08:00Rob gets the concept that name of God sounds like ...Rob gets the concept that name of God sounds like the sound of breathing from a Jewish rabbi named Lawrence Kushner in the book "The Book of Words."<BR/><BR/>This is his source, not Ray Vander Laan.danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14720362416457208688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11840313.post-12925381049104394662007-02-25T18:05:00.000-08:002007-02-25T18:05:00.000-08:00Amen, Dr. W., Amen."The Lord is Risen, Indeed!

No where in Talmud, the Pseudepigrapha, Rashi, or even Ginzberg's <I>Legends</I> do 'the rabbis' say anything close to this. The rabbi I am doing my Ph.D. under said that no Jew in their right mind would say something like that about HaShem. I wish Rob would cite his sources.arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13621525758313683265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11840313.post-63160086595760273582007-02-25T04:26:00.000-08:002007-02-25T04:26:00.000-08:00We already found the tomb of Jesus, and it was emp...We already found the tomb of Jesus, and it was empty, as all agreed at the time, long before his bones could have ever been put into an ossuary.<BR/><BR/>BW3Ben Witheringtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06017701050859255865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11840313.post-10237499671484721392007-02-24T20:04:00.000-08:002007-02-24T20:04:00.000-08:00I'd love to hear what you have to say about the "n...I'd love to hear what you have to say about the "newly discovered tomb of Jesus:"<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://time-blog.com/middle_east/2007/02/jesus_tales_from_the_crypt.html" REL="nofollow">here</A>. <BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/><BR/>VP ŠulikVáclav Patrik Šulikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17776897108406930562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11840313.post-31463311636056103612007-02-24T19:44:00.000-08:002007-02-24T19:44:00.000-08:00Two things:First, you can get the soundtrack to th...Two things:<BR/>First, you can get the soundtrack to these films by visiting nooma.com.
