Interesting comment Sojourner. I think the point Paul is getting at is that we as christians are really bad at spinning stuff (scripture) to make the point we're wanting to make. You know, if something doesn't sit right with us then "they are anti-christ" but we need to have a spirit of love. if something isn't what we agree with then we have to love. There's stuff that you and me do daily that Jesus doesn't agree with but he loves us.

I'll get my little bit about rob bell in here while i have the chance. He has done some amazing stuff and i can't wait to read the book because if you look back at his work all of it really has been about looking at the scripture how it was meant to be read, but we "the western/ modern Church" have taken most of the bible out of context and we miss the true essence of the scriptures.

For that im excited to see what this book says. We'll just have to see what the book says but no matter what we shouldn't be calling him anti christ etc etc, we should love him, like Jesus loves us.
