Dear ALL,

     In Pastor Rob Bell's bestselling new book that there may be no hell. We agree that it's a worthwhile topic, one that is not incidental to our faith, and one that gives us a chance to dig into the Bible. So that will be the topic for our adults Sunday Bible Studies.

     Please, read before you come to the class on Sunday morning after the first service. You can have hard copies from the office on Friday or download from our website: www.tehachapiumc.org. Remember the main ideas of this Bible Studies are: discussions and how to confront the news with the Bible.

      May God bless you this week.

TEHACHAPI VALLEY UMC – SUNDAY ADULT BIBLE STUDY

Popular Evangelical Pastor Posits Eternity without Hell

May 1, 2011 

 

In the News

 

What if there is no hell?

 

That's the question popular evangelical pastor Rob Bell raises in his book Love Wins, which debuted at No. 2 on the New York Times bestseller list in late March. With this book, Bell, who is pastor of Mars Hill Church in Grand Rapids, Michigan, which is regularly attended by more than 7,000, has unleashed a flood of debate and controversy. TIME magazine calls it "a new holy war in Christian circles."

 

In Love Wins, Bell suggests that the redemptive work of Jesus may be universal -- that eventually every person who ever lived will have a place in heaven. 

 

Universalism -- the idea that God grants salvation to everyone regardless of how they have lived -- is not a new concept. It has been around for centuries as a minority view within the church. The early church father Origen (A.D. 185-254) argued that God would eventually return all souls to their original perfection.

 

Bell's support of the idea has become big news, however, because he is a celebrity of evangelical Christianity, not of the mainline church (which is often considered more liberal). Evangelical Christianity has generally maintained a clarity about salvation and damnation, insisting that while God offers salvation to all through Christ, only those who accept Christ's forgiveness of their sins receive eternal life; the unrepentant end up in hell, completely separated from God.

 

Bell does not use the term "universalism" in his book, but he clearly makes the universalist case, saying that in Jesus' resurrection, God has "inaugurated a movement ... to renew, restore and reconcile everything." He writes, "At the center of the Christian tradition since the first church have been a number who insist that history is not tragic, hell is not forever, and love, in the end, wins and all will be reconciled to God."

 

While not insisting that he's right, Bell says that a faith of exclusion is a dangerous thing. Hell, as a place of eternal torment, seems to Bell to be irreconcilable with the God of love. Bell believes in Jesus' atonement, he says, but he also states that he's unclear about whether the promised redemption as a result of that atonement is limited only to those who meet the repentance test of the church. Rather than taking an absolutist view either way, Bell invites his readers to live with the mystery.

 

Among the concerns Bell's view raises is that without a final consequence for wrongdoing, Christianity becomes more of an ethical practice than a faith based on divine revelation. Albert Mohler Jr., president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, points out that "when you adopt universalism and erase the distinction between the church and the world, then you don't need the church, and you don't need Christ, and you don't need the cross." Mohler pronounces Bell's book "theologically disastrous."

 

Both sides in this debate use the Bible to support their views, but they are reading it differently, and some are putting more weight on certain verses than others. Though critical of Bell's position, Mark Galli, reviewing Bell's book in Christianity Today, acknowledges the scriptural divide: "The fact that Scripture refuses to solve the dilemma should give us pause. There are in Scripture clear statements that suggest universal reconciliation. But aren't there other verses that teach the finality of the final judgment? Doesn't the Bible teach that the decisions we make in this life have consequences more sobering and eternal than we can imagine, and that history is ultimately more gracious than we, left to our own imaginations, would ever hope?"

 

The title of Galli's review of Bell's book is a succinct summary of much of the evangelical church's objection: "Rob Bell's Bridge Too Far."

The Big Questions

 

1. Is the basic message of Christianity any different if there is no hell? If so, in what way? Is this "a bridge too far"? Is this an argument worth having? Why or why not?

 

2. How do you balance the idea of divine justice with the idea of eternal punishment for sins that were limited to an earthly life span?

 

3. What is the spiritual fate of people who die without ever hearing the gospel through no fault of their own? (As Bell puts it, "What if the missionary had a flat tire?")

 

4. Rather than making a declaration of certainty about the absence of hell, Bell speaks of "living with the mystery." Is that a good basis on which to build faith? Why or why not? 

 

5. Is there something about the human makeup that inclines us to want both heaven and hell to be real? If so, what is it? To what degree does your belief about hell help you to "toe the line"?

 

Confronting the News with Scripture

Here are some Bible verses to guide your discussion:

 

Psalm 9:17
"The wicked shall depart to Sheol ..." (For context, read 9:15-20.)

Psalm 139:8
"If I ascend to heaven, you are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, you are there." (For context, read 139:7-12.)

 

For most of the centuries covered by the Old Testament, there is no clear statement about life after death, either in heaven or hell. The Hebrew people spoke of Sheol, which was the place of the dead, both the righteous and the unrighteous, but it wasn't thought of as a place of either reward or punishment. It was simply the abode of the dead, from which none escaped. 

 

Since there is no exact equivalent in English, most modern translations of the Bible don't try to translate Sheol; they simply transliterate the underlying Hebrew word. The King James Version translated the Hebrew word in both of the verses above as "hell," but in other verses, the KJV sometimes rendered the same Hebrew word as "grave" or "pit." In classical Greek, Sheol is translated as Hades.

 

On first glance, the verse from Psalm 9 seems to speak of Sheol as a place of punishment, a place where only the wicked go, but actually, the verse is simply saying that the wicked will physically die (which is not to suggest that the righteous will not).

 

Psalm 139 speaks of God as inescapable, as omnipresent, and in verse 8, the psalmist is simply saying no matter where he goes -- even into the sky (the meaning of "heaven" in the verse) or into the place of the dead -- God is still there. If, as traditionally understood, hell is a place where one is cut off from the presence of God, then Sheol cannot be hell, for, says this psalmist, even in Sheol, God is there.

 

Questions: Would you live your life any differently if you believed there were no life after death? Why? What about if you believed there were no hell -- but only heaven -- after death?

 

Daniel 12:2
"Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt." (For context, read 12:1-4.)

 

This verse is the only clear reference to the resurrection of the dead in the Old Testament. Scholars note that Daniel was among the last of the Old Testament books to be written, and they suggest that by the time of that writing, Hebrew thought about existence after death had begun to evolve beyond Sheol, to an understanding of an afterlife where the righteous received "everlasting life" and the wicked received "shame and everlasting contempt."

 

By the time of the New Testament, belief in the resurrection of the dead had become more widespread. In fact, by then, the Sadducees, who did not believe in the resurrection of the dead, were considered unusual enough that they were known for their disbelief (see Mark 12:18). 


Questions:
 What do you suppose caused the thinking about life after death to evolve? How has your own thinking on this subject evolved?

 

John 12:32
"And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself." (For context, read 12:27-36.)
2 Corinthians 5:18-19
"All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting the message of reconciliation to us." (For context, read 5:16-21.)
1 Timothy 2:3-4
"... God our Savior, who desires everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth." (For context, read 2:1-7.)

 

The verses above are among those Bell quotes as evidence that God will save everybody. In the case of the 1 Timothy verses, Bell asks, "Will God get what he wants?"

 

Questions: Which elements in each of the verses above can be read as referring to universal salvation? How else can they be interpreted? Do they seem to mean anything different when read in context?

 

Matthew 10:28
"Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell." (For context, read 10:26-31.)
Mark 9:43
"If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life maimed than to have two hands and to go to hell, to the unquenchable fire." (For context, read 9:42-48.)

 

Both of the statements above are from Jesus, and in both, it's clear that Jesus is warning about serious consequences for disobeying God. In the Matthew verse, Jesus is speaking to the disciples, telling them of persecutions to come, some of which might even be fatal. But they should obey God and stick to their mission nonetheless, for losing their lives was not the worst thing that could happen. The worst thing was losing their souls.

 

In the Mark verse, Jesus uses exaggeration to make a point about obeying God. While he was not literally recommending that one maim oneself, he was saying again that there were worse things.

 

In both cases, the word translated "hell" in English is Gehenna, which meant "the valley of Hinnom." That was a location just south of Jerusalem's southwestern wall, where the people of Judah and the apostate Hebrew kings Ahaz and Mannasseh had once held child sacrifices to foreign gods  (2 Kings 23:10; Jeremiah 7:30-33; 2 Chronicles 28:3; 33:6). Because of its unsavory use in the past, by Jesus' day, the location was used as the city dump, where fires were kept burning continuously to consume the refuse.

 

But Gehenna had a figurative meaning as well. By the second century B.C., Jewish rabbis spoke of Gehenna in a metaphorical way as the place of final destruction of God's enemies and those of the people of God who had turned against him. (This idea is perhaps seen in Isaiah 66:24.) In this line of thought, Gehenna was a place of torment and punishment for the unrighteous.

 

It appears that Jesus was using Gehenna in this metaphorical way rather than referring literally to the dump outside the city walls, but metaphorical or not, he speaks of it as a destination one should avoid at all costs.

 

Question: What do you make of the fact that both of these comments of Jesus about hell were addressed to professed followers, not to incorrigible sinners?

 

For Further Discussion

 

1. Whether you agree with Bell or not, how might the questions he raises help people who are seeking a faith -- or help people Jesus is seeking but who aren't looking for him? Are the church's evangelistic efforts likely to be helped or harmed by Bell's book?

 

2. How much of your Christian faith is based on what the Bible actually says?

 

3. Writing in TIME about Rob Bell, Jon Meachem says that demography is working in Bell's favor. He then quotes Richard Mouw, President of Fuller Theological Seminary, from which Bell graduated: "[Bell's] trying to reach a generation that's more comfortable with mystery, with unsolved questions." Mouw then notes that his own young grandchildren are growing up with Hindu and Muslim friends and classmates. "For me," says Mouw, "Hindus and Muslims were the people we sent missionaries off to in places we called 'Arabia.' Now that diversity is part of the fabric of daily life. It makes a difference. My generation wanted truth -- these are folks who want authenticity. The whole judgmentalism and harshness is something they want to avoid."

      So, where is the mission field? Or does the "field" as we have conceptualized it even exist? What happens when it is everywhere, not "over there"?

      What is the difference between truth and authenticity? 


4. Comment on these two passages:

·         "Then he will say to those at his left hand, 'You that are accursed, depart from me into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels ..." (Matthew 25:41).

·         "... This is the second death, the lake of fire; and anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire" (Revelation 20:14-15).

 

5. How might Jesus' parable of the wheat and the weeds (Matthew 13:24-30) inform this discussion?

 

6. Comment on this claim: "Most people do believe in hell. They think they and their loved ones all go to heaven. It's just everyone else who doesn't."

 

7. What do you learn from these historical tidbits?

·         The early Christians taught that Christ preached the gospel to the dead, and for that purpose descended into hell (see the Apostles' Creed). Many held that he released all who were in captivity, meaning that their destiny was not forever fixed at death.

·         Prayers for the dead were common in the early church and are still said today in some Christian denominations.

 

8. What are your beliefs about the nature of hell? Would you be comfortable in a heaven knowing others are being punished eternally?


Responding to the News

 

This is a good time to renew your efforts to read the Bible. For our faith to be biblically based, it's important to know what the Bible actually says. 

 

Closing Prayer

 God of time and eternity, help us to follow you faithfully, to the best of our understanding.  In Jesus' name. Amen
