I love this dude, He is bold and tells it how it is. People of the world wont understand this message he delivered because obedience unlocks understanding, and if you are of the world and you havent been delivered from sin, how can you see where this guy is coming from?

Preach it Brother, I got your Back !!!!!

This guy is RIGHT!

[daveofbosh]

Oh Driscoll - you are so short sighted! If you actually read the bible in it's true context it clearly states that women are leaders. Open your eyes and your heart and repent.

[djacel]

Awesome clip lol wow He is so real and thats what we need real leaders who will tell you the truth in love

@SuperGoofy18,

CONTINUED... If this is the guy I'm supposed to be like when I "man up" and "be who God called [me] to be" then I'd rather not have anything to do with your God, Driscoll, you, or anyone else who can't see through the rhetoric of fear, self-loathing and hypocrisy that American evangelicalism promotes on a daily basis. And yeah, I use the word fuck. Just like Driscoll, the "swearing pastor."

@SuperGoofy18,

So I'm supposed to build this guy up? What about the sexism inherent in his use of "feminine" as a negative label? What does that portray to the godly women in his congregation about their inherent value as human beings? What about the fact that he labels men (god fearing, women loving men) as homosexuals (offensive on at least 2 levels, both those men and to those struggling with queer identity in his congregation) just because they aren't barbarically masculine?

I bet if this guy had his way, there would be crosses on every street corner, and a line of 'sinners' waiting to take their place on them, with help from his 'christian' toadies. No wonder the world is so screwed up, with this 'man' and his unbending theology ready and willing to stay firmly locked into the Dark Ages.

@goldenscales It worked back then didn't it. I'm not saying it's right, dont get me wrong. I'm just saying we have fallen very far from the first church. Think about what can make it better. Dont just comment on video's get out there and do something to change it.

[SuperGoofy18]

@lishsboy if you believe in God why are you not doing what he says. Ephesians 4:29

Plus swearing, really? Man up dude. Be who God called you to be.

[SuperGoofy18]

@houseuponarock no the problem is people who comment on youtube videos and do not go out and do something. MAKE WAR, ever listen to John Piper watch his clip "Make War'. Confront your brothers and sister in Christ , don't belly ache. Confront them - Matthew 18:15, but do it in the spirit of gentleness - Galatians 6:1, then forgive them - Colossians 3:13 , Don't talk bad about them -Ephesians 4:29, and do NOT get into a battle of who is better than who -Philippians 2:3-4, also Hebrews 10:24

[SuperGoofy18]

The 40% that are dudes are still just ... chicks. LOL

He's only talkin about men because they are meant to be the leaders of the church according to the bible. He's not degrading women whatsoever
