2 Corinthians 5:19-20 (New International Version) That God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.
I kind of find his perspective interesting. The idea of thinking about the reward of eternal life or of avoiding eternity in Hell a little bit of a self-centered and selfish motivation to know God. I agree with him that the Bible is actually a story about how God intervened into human history in an attempt to reunite with his creations. I will try to read more about this but I honestly think he has a point about reuniting heaven and earth where God eventually conquers evil and takes full control. But for me, since the soul is eternal, when heaven and earth unite and your soul isn't right yet by then, wouldn't you be also kicked out along with hell???
