ROB BELL SAYS: EMBRACE THE MYSTERY


Pastor Rob Bell:

“The Bible is still in the center for us,” Rob says, “but it’s a different kind of center. We want to embrace mystery, rather than conquer it.”
“The Emergent Mystique,” Christianity Today, November 1, 2004 (Online source)

I thank God for anybody anywhere who is pointing to the mysteries of God.

Missionary Paul Washer:

I understand you… I now know why you desire to be a seeker of the truth, but at the same time you desire never to find it. Because the moment you find the truth, you’re going to have to submit to it. And that is what you refuse. This is not a battle of the intellect; this is battle of the will. You desire to be god and lord over your universe. And the moment you accept the truth of God as absolute truth, you are no longer your own god.
“What Is Christianity” (Audio sermon)

The Apostle Paul:

we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the Word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
(2 Corinthians 4:2)

The LORD God Almighty:

Jesus said, “If you hold to My teaching, you are really My disciples. Then you will know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free.”
(John 8:31-32)

“And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Counselor to be with you forever–the Spirit of Truth. The world cannot accept Him, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you know Him, for He lives with you and will be in you.”
(John 14:16-17)
