These are wonderful Roger! Thanks – and looking forward to more…
Not sure if you take “requests” ( ) but I’m particularly interested to read how these specific writers you quote have handled the issue of God being thwarted in His efforts to save us because of our own free will.
Just read (for our mens book club discussion group that meets every other month) Richard Rohr’s “FALLING UPWARD” and his section titled “HEAVEN” AND “HELL” where he seems to follow Rob Bell fairly closely until this…
Needless to say, to sweep away the possibility of UR with just one sentence like this was a major disappointment!! That we would be “allowed” to “choose” such a heinous and painful and destructive future seems to ignore entirely the very real possibility of delusion and illusion which themselves need to be shattered in order for us to truly BE FREE
Anyway, will keep reading and thanks again for these quotes!
