The Heretic

Seriously Judeo Christian values built everything . This is absolutely nonsense . No wonder Jordan Peterson is popular if this is the competition

Rob Bell is delivering an important message for everyone, Christian and non-Christian alike. He does an extraordinary job of relating the Bible and Jesus' teachings to the here and now. Rob Bell rescued Christianity for me after I'd long lost interest. I still don't consider myself Christian, but I get so much - so much - from Rob's sermons and recommend them to everyone.

Raise your glasses: SO GOOD

Provocative and introspective. RB is a voice that needs to be heard. Would love a sequel!

I’ve followed Bell’s work for over a decade. His honest and God-centered pursuit of truth has never been squelched by other people’s’ opinions. His books have given millions of people permission to ask questions that we all have on our minds. This movie presents his work for the inspiration that it is while also offering a much needed response to the people out there who have been so cruel to him out of there own fear. If you are wondering if there are people out there who understand a faith which extends far outside of the Evangelical version (which is so often married to Conservative-American ego-centrism), this film will introduce you to Rob Bell and his wonderful work. So good!!

I enjoyed the film. I feel that if you have been following Rob Bell’s work, then there isn’t much new said that hasn’t been heard from/about him before, although it is presented differently. This is a great film for someone who is curious about Bell and his work as a way of introduction.

This film presents the human being behind all the opinions about him. So much to consider. Well done, Andrew.

If you have read/followed Rob Bell since the Mars Hill days, this is affirmation that he is a thought leader in the movement away from the messed up subculture of the modern evangelical church, and toward inclusion, love and the God that I DO believe in. Excellent.

A good start to the important story of Rob and his journey, but this was a very high level overview that requires much follow up. To Andrew Morgan - three things for the sequels. One: Rob’s sermon audio from 1999 is available and must be brought back to life, even the Nooma content. Rob’s top critics will still promote his original Bible preaching when Mars Hill began. A sequel must include Rob listening to portions of his teachings where over and over and over again he concludes with Jesus is your only hope in this life, the explicit warnings against sin and an attempt to reclaim the simple truths he once delivered on a weekly basis. Two: the extraordinary truths that “Drops like Stars” unpacked about suffering and creativity would benefit all. Three: at the one hour eight minute mark the film just briefly touches on the depths and uncertainty of the Love Wins 2011/Mars Hill departure debacle. Please go deeper here, ultimately asking Rob if he would do anything different during that time period. From Mars Hill finding out via email he was leaving on a Thursday night, relinquishing spiritual leadership of an extraordinary community, to the pursuit of Hollywood business deals. Finally, press Rob to go on the record with some theological humility. He’s made the claim that Jesus has been hijacked. Can he be humble enough to admit there is risk that he has been a part of it? Human judgement or opinion doesn’t matter... God’s judgement does. Great opportunity still exists to point all viewers to the ultimate truth that God is the creator and we are his creatures in need of a savior, and the fruits of the spirit are SUPERNATURAL. I hope for an old school Rob Bell comeback to where he can explain the holy spirit’s movements “deep in his bones” when he would blurt out to his congregation “ain’t church fun?” and “I could just worship all day!”. Grace and peace... and indeed - everything is spiritual. Bedtime930 at iCloud dot com.
