4.) He totally distorts scripture by allowing his Calvinistic
views to say that Noah was not a righteous man and calls it a false Gospel,
even though God is very clear in Genesis 7:1 "Then the Lord said
to Noah, “Come into the ark, you and all your household, because I have seen that you are
righteous before Me in this generation." I stick with God's word over
Driscoll's:

7.) A
few disturbing quotes from Driscoll (not an exhaustive list):
"Incredibly, he has built a ministry, in large part, by preaching and teaching
about sex, and by using crude language. He is skilled in mixing the holy and
profane—in his book, Confessions of a Reformission Rev (2006), he explains
his technique for achieving church growth: ‘I assumed the students and singles
were all pretty horny, so I went out on a limb and preached through the Song
of Songs in the fall… Each week I extolled the virtues of marriage, foreplay,
oral sex, sacred stripping and sex outdoors, just as the book teaches, because
all Scripture is indeed profitable.’ [pp 94, 96]."
(Dr ES Williams, The Mark Driscoll Controversy, http://www.driscollcontroversy.com/?p=1)
"Roughly two thousand years ago, Jesus was born in a dumpy, rural, hick
town, not unlike those today where guys change their oil, think pro wrestling
is real, find women who chew tobacco sexy, and eat a lot of Hot Pockets with
their uncle-daddy. Jesus’ mom was a poor, unwed teenage girl who was mocked
for claiming she conceived via the Holy Spirit. Most people thought she concocted
a crazy story to cover the “fact” that she was knocking boots with some guy
in the backseat of the car at the prom. Jesus was adopted by a simple carpenter
named Joseph and spent the first thirty years of his life in obscurity, swinging
a hammer with his dad." (Vintage Jesus, p. 11)"
(Dr ES Williams,"Driscoll’s supporters: The danger of false
teaching", http://www.driscollcontroversy.com/?page_id=654)
"In his book Radical Reformission (2004), he writes of Adam and Eve: “The
Bible could end right there [in Genesis], after only two chapters, with the
man and woman naked, eating fruit, and trying to fill the earth all by their
happy, horny, holy selves… God also works through a cowardly old man named
Abraham, who is happy to whore out his loving and beautiful antique of a wife
to avoid conflict. God also chooses to work through a guy name Jacob, even
through he’s a trickster and a con man. Later God raised up a stuttering murderer
named Moses to lead his people.” (p28-29)
"
(Dr ES Williams,"Driscoll’s supporters: The danger of false
teaching", http://www.driscollcontroversy.com/?page_id=654)
"His crudeness is also sexual. In Confessions he refers to intercourse as
“banging (p.128).” On the same page he admits to being burned out in the ministry
due to “an unspectacular sex life,” and he makes a reference to a woman being
“hot like hell.” On page 96, when admitting that he isn’t like most pastors,
jokes about using words in sermons like a term to refer to the male reproductive
organ, as well as having “an aluminum pole in the bedroom.” Some of those “sermons
on sex were R-rated (p.134).”
One of those R-rated sermons was when he gave all the guys two stones
to symbolize what they needed in order to be real men (p.129). His lingo was
cruder.
In Radical he says that
Adam and Eve were “horny (p.28—on that page he also uses a crude term for a
prostitute)” and he makes a joke about a gay orgy on page 33. He makes wisecracks
about people using Viagra on pages 75 and 165. There is also a joke about a
vasectomy on page 76.
Driscoll talks frankly about a threesome on page 92, and about girls’ tight
pants making their backsides look big on page 95, about a girl having “junk
in her trunk” on page 119. On page 187 he references a man’s genitals,
and on 185 he brags about teaching on subjects like the different ways that
a woman can climax.
In Vintage Jesus he refers to intercourse as “knocking boots (p.11) and
“shagging (p.41).” While attending a Monday Night Football game, he writes that
“half-naked young women provide eye candy (p.164).”
On page 169 he says that our culture worships “good old-fashioned naked
crazy-making” and he makes yet another reference to eating Viagra on page 183.
He also makes references to graphic sexual practices that take place, both
as couples and alone, dozens of times. Not only does he talk about these topics
that shouldn’t be mentioned, he does it in such a crass way. These references
do not include his forthcoming book which will deal with these topics and much
more (http://www.christianpost.com/news/mark-driscoll-answers-the-can-we-do-that-questions-in-upcoming-book-55728/print.html).
But the worst of all of his crude comments comes in a conversation he felt
the need to include in Confessions when a member of his church called him during
the night crying, and told him that he had just watched a dirty movie. Driscoll
asked him, “Was it a good porno?” When the young man asked for prayer, this
is the prayer that Driscoll records: “Jesus, thank you for not killing him for
being a pervert. Amen.” Driscoll then told the man not to call him at night
when he is sleeping, and said he didn’t have time to be his accountability partner.
But it gets worse. When the man asked for advice, here is Drsicoll’s reply:
“You need to stop watching porno and crying like a baby afterwards…a naked lady
is good to look at, so get a job, get a wife, ask her to get naked, and look
at her instead (p.60).”
Not exactly a good leadership technique."

Please pray for Mark Driscoll to repent of
these things. Also pray for those who are following Driscoll that the Lord will
open their eyes to the dangers of Driscoll. Our heart is that Driscoll will repent and until that happens we will be faithful to warn our Lord's precious
sheep about men like Driscoll so they will not be led astray.
