@Freedish911 Really? The screaming preacher with the little chain around his neck, the cool shirts and the metrosexual look wouldn't say that? Type in Masturbation next to his name on youtube and watch. Or search in google: mars hill blog anal sex. It's weird though, obviously people need to train their discerning more.
@Freedish911 I've just seen your profile. Death metal? Don't you think that stops you from seeing things in the spiritual world? So... Driscoll lovers are into Death. Oh boy.
@MsHannelore I don't have the right to have an opinion. Objectively, I've noticed a few things: 1) He loses self control while he preaches; starts yelling and screaming. 2) He approves the contemporary model of the denominational "church", which is against Paul's teaching in 1 Cor. chapters 1 and 3. 3) He approves of practices like the tithe. 4) He doesn't seem worried about the heresy of Calvinism when he should be warning about it and admonishing his fellow preachers.
A gentle word turns away wrath, if you recall. We are given a Spirit of power.. and love, and self control. Please try to keep in mind that the only way we can powerfully share Christ is to be loving and selfcontrolled. Anybody can get irritated, mad, smart-aleck, etc, and post sarcastic, ironic videos and comments, point fingers at wrong-doings and flawed people...Jesus said the world would know us as His disciples because of our love for one another. Remember this for His sake
I want to lovingly remind you that our job as Christians is to glorify God by building up the church, not tearing it down. Life and evangelism is all about God, not John. Please consider focusing not on bashing "John Piper's friends", but taking the truth in what they have said, and in building up "the least of My (Christ's) brothers". You seem like someone in search of a good spiritual discussion, an intelligent person, but perhaps forgetting the wisdom God has granted to us
@ILAGgirl No problem, I will focus on the things John Piper's friends have said. The thing is, they keep saying (and doing) filthy things. I wonder why you don't want to focus on what they're saying... Would that make you... well... lose your idols? Scary stuff, losing one's idols and turning to God for help.
You may mean well, though it seems like your video is a personal rant. May I lovingly remind you that our job as Christians is not to to point out other's weaknesses or to play Holy Spirit, "God Cop", etc, but only to say what is wholesome and useful for building others up, benefitting them so as to encourage them to serve God. Focus on God, not John. It's about Christ. Please consider focusing not on "John Piper's friends" but instead "the least of My brothers".
I've been watching Driscoll for a while now, and the quotes you got from him do not sound like something he would say. Please provide a source.

The person who made this video has no knowledge of history or theology. These are just smear tactics. Pathetic.

@funeraldoom80 You can try to prove me wrong - both historically and theologically. I'm listening.
