[QUOTE="MikeBigg, post: 64054739, member: 260752"] I have heard of the guy, but never heard his teachings. I think to name call like that against a well respected pillar of evangelical Christianity is unacceptable. Who is he to call men of the stature of John Stott and David Pawson (I'm biased he lives a few miles from me - I painted his study, not that I agree with everything he says) to account? There are ways to debate on issues that you don't agree with without resorting to behaviour like that. The [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Stott#Controversy]wiki page on John Stott[/url] is interesting. About the controversy it says: [indent]Stott publicly espoused the idea of annihilationism, which is the belief that hell is incineration into non-existence,[25] rather than everlasting conscious torment (the traditional Evangelical approach). He was not dogmatic about this position, but held to it somewhat tentatively, insisting only that it be accepted as a legitimate evangelical option: "the ultimate annihilation of the wicked should at least be accepted as a legitimate, biblically founded alternative to their eternal conscious torment."[/indent] Can you sense something of gentleness in Stott in that? I think I can. A Godly quality. Quite a contrast to Prasch, in my view. Matt 7 informs me here: "17 Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit." I won't be listening to him. [/QUOTE]
