“I am astonished that evangelical pastors would highlight a pastor not only known for his crudeness and careless handling of Scripture, but a pastor who also credits foul-mouthed comedian Chris Rock with teaching him how to preach,” stated Cathy Mickels, former Washington state president of Phyllis Schlafly’s Eagle Forum and co-author of Spiritual Junk Food: The Dumbing Down of Christian Youth.... http://endtimespropheticwords.wordp...iscolls-foul-mouthed-lessons-from-chris-rock/
We need to pass out a "Jumps to Conclusions" floor mat around here.
Driscoll has repeatedly and honestly apologized and repented of his former way of doing things. He's a good minister. Stop trying to score points at his failures which are YEARS ago.
I agree.
I guess people don't like his more casual manner, his way of stating things - but they are all solid IMO.
Yes, he's not everyone's cup of tea but there are other pastors that are solid who are not MY cup of tea either because I just find them boring to listen to.
I think they don't like him because he's reformed ... :tongue3:
Just seeing if we can turn this into a C vs A discussion. :saint:
He's not what I would like to hear every week, (i'm sure that keeps him up at night) but he is solid doctrinally and clearly presents how a person needs and gets saved.
Wow so you think it's okay to label a man (who is passionate about the Gospel and preaches the Bible) an agent of Satan, false teacher, and not a man of God?
Your hubris is very disturbing. I guess you're the only one with a corner on correct theology.
If you can show me in the bible where the Lord or any other person ever preached using foul language like Mark Driscoll does I will retract my statements.
Wow - I'm glad God is more forgiving than you are.
He used to use foul language in his distant past, repented of it and no longer curses.
You know what the Bible says about unforgiveness...
2 Kings 18: 27 "But Rabshakeh said unto them, Hath my master sent me to them, and to thee, speak these words? hath he not sent me to the men which sit on the wall, that they may eat their own shit, and drink their own piss with you?" In your beloved Old Testament. Ever preach through the Bible and ignore that passage?
