Does Love Win?

Does Love Win?

Does Love Win?
By Gary Amirault

Christians seen to have a hard time comprehending a God that actually really wins. For example, Rob Bell recently wrote a book entitled “Love Wins,” but after 202 pages of question with very few answers, he concludes people can have as much of hell as they want because they are free to chose. Rob Bell concludes that because God gave man free will, there is a hell whose door is locked from the inside. Jesus, according to the Bible leaves the ninety nine found sheep to seek a single lost sheep and does not give up til He finds it. Yet among the most compassionate pastors of the traditional church, Love does NOT win despite Rob Bell’s use of the title “Love Wins.”

God is Love. Love Never fails. Nothing is impossible with God. So simple a child can understand it. So why do pastors with Bible college and seminary degrees not understand it? Maybe they need to go back to grade school and learn some basic grammar.

So, Rob Bell, what don’t you get about “Love Wins?” What don’t you understand about “…I will draw (drag in Greek) ALL mankind to myself.” (John 12:32) What don’t you understand about “God WILL have all men be saved and come to the knowledge of the Truth.” (1 Tim 2:4, KJV) What don’t you understand about “That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;   And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Phil. 2:10, 11) Why is it so difficult for you to comprehend God   “having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.” (Col. 1:20)

So, Rob Bell, when did you lose the simplicity of being a child? Children with loving parents understand the verses above. And they don’t need perfect grammar to understand them. They understand love never gives up. When did you get seduced into believing the lie? For surely, love under your theology does NOT win, it loses. I understand you like reading deep theological books. You’re into reading ancient Jewish sages. May I suggest you sit at the feet of some children and try to explain to them “Love Wins” but not really? They would recognize immediately the discrepancy between your catchy title and the lying theology in the book. Your son probably recognizes it. Did you consult with him before you decided to write a book misrepresenting God?

Love DOES Win!
