This short piece is developed from argumentation in a combox of a post called Rob Bell and his stance on homosexuality by the wife of a friend of Rob Bell. This couple happen to be members in covenant community attending Mars Hill Bible Church where Bell is their “teaching pastor.” Not surprisingly they aren’t real fond of […]
