You are absolutely correct RJORRIS. Mark Driscoll by all means agrees with your comment but this is only an excerpt from his full message. Thanks for commenting on it and clarifying on the part that is not shown. And for everyone that watches these excerpts and anything else, please make sure to realize that these *are* excerpts and part of the whole picture may not be shown. :-) May God bless you all and guide you as you continue to seek His truth and walk in His amazing ways!

I'd like to comment from 8:00 to 8:22 , ....yes you should obey, unless they are telling you to do something you know if wrong. Wut if my boss starts to tell me to rip people off??? then what?...U don't do it. period.

Ok this pastor is a fool and does not know the bible, NUMBERS 23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill? her father did not believe in jesus because is avodah sorah or separation from God to believe in any form of idol. Also the pastor failed to understand that her Jewish father submitted to the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob. He honored and obey his father the GOD of the TORAH.

i dont understand how any mentally sane human being could honor authority or respect it!! it is all shit! i respect those who are vulnerable and powerless instead of the overrated brutes!!

As a generality, there's not much wrong with what he's saying, but I can see Kim Il Sung musing to himself, "hmm, I'm told I can make these people do anything I want, as long as it's not a sin..."

For now, Dear Leader may be satisfied with ordering Mark Driscoll to do jumping jacks while doing a rap number. Maybe tomorrow he'll command him to cut off a finger. Or to start paying a $10,000, per instance, prayer tax for his amusement.

On what basis could he refuse? Are these sins also?

RJorris....

OBEY TO NO ONE

OBEDIENCE IS FOR DOGS

[jesseakers]

human need always supercedes the law- check out the story of david and the preists bread, the woman who lied to protect the two spies in jericho, etc.... The sabbath was created for man, not the other way around- if your parents are dictators, abusive, mentally or phsyically dont put yourself or your siblings through abusive parents... plus the less you let them abuse you the less wrath they build up for themselves from God...

Thanks I finally saw it and it is good. I like this mans messages.

He isn't saying obey laws of men before the laws of God. He even says, if you can't obey your employer find a new job. The three Jewish boys obeyed God's law when they refused to bow to the idol. With a little maturity I think its easy to see the difference, though, between idol worship and pot smoking. The Christian with a rebellious chip on the shoulder can be a real hinderance to the kingdom. As Peter wrote elsewhere, As much as lieth within you live at peace with all men.
