Authors of Confusion Pt. 8 – Mark Driscoll Pt. 2 – Mark Driscoll ‘Revisited’

The Mark Driscoll Controversy –

Pastor Mark Driscoll, founder of Mars Hill Church, Seattle, is one of the biggest names among evangelical Christians in the USA. This website is the result of our examination of Pastor Mark Driscoll’s ministry. Our aim is to warn believers in the UK, and the USA, and elsewhere, of the false nature of Driscoll’s ministry. We highlight areas of Driscoll’s ministry which should cause grave concern to true, discerning Christian believers. We believe that Driscoll’s approach to a variety of issues, discussed on this website, is unacceptable and ultimately makes a mockery of the Christian faith.

The Driscoll controversy rages on. Now Liberty University, the largest Christian University in the world, has invited Mark Driscoll to hold a conference on his book Real Marriage. But many people are very unhappy with this amazing turn of events, as we explain in our article Driscoll at Liberty?

Our recent article draws attention to the evangelical leaders in the USA and the UK who have supported and encouraged Driscoll’s false ministry.

Mark Driscoll founded The Resurgence, a theological cooperative that works with the Acts 29 Network of churches. He also works closely with the Desiring God Ministry of John Piper, and The Gospel Coalition, that includes Tim Keller and Don Carson. Indeed, Driscoll is so well regarded in evangelical circles that he is council member of The Gospel Coalition. He is regularly invited to talk at Christian Conferences in the USA and across other parts of the world.

In May 2011 Mark Driscoll was invited by evangelical Christians to preach before 4,000 men at the London Men’s Convention in the Royal Albert Hall, London, England. He was invited to the Men’s Convention by a group of evangelical ministers and leaders, made up of Richard Coekin (Chair) of Dundonald Church Wimbledon; Trevor Archer of Chessington Evangelical Church; Tim Thornborough of The Good Book Company; Wes McNab of Slade Evangelical Church; Richard Perkins of Christ Church Balham and Wanyeki Mahiaini of All Souls, Langham Place.

But despite his popularity in the evangelical world, Driscoll’s ministry has proved to be highly controversial because of his unconventional ways and dubious methods, which he describes as ‘theological conservative and culturally liberal’.

We are concerned that Mark Driscoll is undermining the Christian faith, and leading many young people astray. 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].

Ephesians 4

17   This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
18   Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:
19   Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
20   But ye have not so learned Christ;
21   If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
22   That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
23   And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
24   And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

Ephesians 5

1   Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
2   And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
3   But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
4   Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
5   For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
6   Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
7   Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
8   For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
9   (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
10   Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
11   And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
12   For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
13   But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
14   Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

Authors of Confusion Pt. 21 – Beth Moore

Beth Moore is a Charismatic motivational speaker, who inspires women, throughout America, to have a personal relationship with God. However, after listening to her teachings, one would wonder if she is teaching people the true gospel, and the true Jesus, or a deceptive counterfeit.

Beth Moore is highly skilled in interpreting Scripture so that it reads as though it only applies to individuals, instead of the entire church, or even a nation; particularly, the Jewish nation. This individualistic, experiential, motivational, preaching tends toward narcissism. It takes the focus off of biblical doctrines, and places it on one’s self, instead. Instead of Beth’s followers becoming more biblically literate, they become more self-involved. This can be seen in her “liver shiver theology ” & “God’s Purpose For You“.

2Timothy 3

1   This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2   For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3   Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4   Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5   Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6   For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7   Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Beth Moore is also a partner of the, ecumenical, pseudo Christian talk show host, James Robison, who acknowledges Mormons, and Roman Catholics, as believers.

2John 1

8   Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
9   Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
10   If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
11   For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

She has also recommended the heretical “Jesus Calling” book, by Sarah Young, which elevates extra biblical revelation above the word of God.

Beth Moore endorses Roman Catholic Mysticism, and even speaks highly of Roman Catholic mystics as though they were believers (2John 1:8-11).

Galatians 5

19   Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20   Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21   Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

2Corinthians 11

3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

Beth Moore also claims to have personal revelation from God then links the revelation to affirming Roman Catholicism as part of the body of Christ, which is not part of the body of Christ, because it teaches a false gospel of works for salvation, among many other major heresies.

Galatians 1

6   I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
7   Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
8   But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9   As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

This mixture of Christianity with Roman Catholic mysticism, ecumenism, and narcissism, makes Beth Moore an author of confusion, who is filling the minds of women, who do not understand the gospel, with false, empty hopes, of the pride of life, by which they will aspire to gain the world, and loose their souls. This is not the true Jesus, nor is it the true gospel, being presented, but instead, it is the god of this world, whether she realizes it or not.

1John 2

15   Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16   For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17   And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Luke 14

26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

Romans 16

17   Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
18   For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
19   For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil.

Matthew 7

18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

1John 5

18   We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
19   And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
20   And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
21   Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.

The heresy of dominionism teaches the church that Christ wants his church to conquer the world before he returns. Dominion theology can be seen in American churches throughout the country, and it is also promoted by Christian media.

The following article entitled “Reclaiming the 7 Mountains of Culture” is an example of the dominionist’s philosophy, and it is also a sad reminder of the, world dominating, harlot church of Revelation 17:1-9, and is also described in Revelation 17:18. Also, this harlot church is the apostate city of Rome. She is a dominionist as well, and her slogan is “the church militant – the church triumphant”. Throughout her reign, she claimed to be the one true church, while killing Christians and Jews. Therefore, the adherents of dominionism are not in good company.

America’s partnership with the harlot church of Rome can be see in the following Wickipedia articles entitled “Daniel Carroll” and “Bishop John Carroll“. Daniel, and John, Carroll, were members of a highly influential Jesuit family. Both played major roles in the founding of America.

Rome, to this day, still considers Washington D.C. as its ally, and even a “sister city”, as described in the following article.

The New Christianity Pt. 8 – IHOP & Mike Bickle Partner with Roman Catholicism

Christian Research Network –

The slide of the visible church down the slippery slope of compromise continues to gain momentum as ecumenism and syncretism replace sound doctrine and fidelity to the truth. Much of this compromise ultimately leads many back to Rome through such mystical, New Age practices as contemplative prayer as experience triumphs over objective truth. The International House of Prayer (IHOP) in Kansas City is one such group that has elevated and encouraged participants to seek mystical experiences with God as validation of one’s faith. This year, IHOP will demonstrate how easily such things align with the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church, as the annual IHOP Onething Conference promises and boasts of the inclusion of a Catholic track at this year’s gathering.

Evolution, Darwin & Hitler

Wikipedia.Org –

On the Origin of Species, published on 24 November 1859, is a work of scientific literature by Charles Darwin which is considered to be the foundation of evolutionary biology. Its full title was On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life. For the sixth edition of 1872, the short title was changed to The Origin of Species. Darwin’s book introduced the scientific theory that populations evolve over the course of generations through a process of natural selection. It presented a body of evidence that the diversity of life arose by common descent through a branching pattern of evolution.

Religious Intolerance & Blasphemy laws Pt. 12 – Ted Haggard Endorses Gay Marriage

ChristianPost.Com –

“We’ve reached a point where human dignity and mutual respect is so important,” Haggard said in a recent online debate with Rabbi Benjamin Hecht, director of Orthodox Jewish think tank Nishma.

Responding to the question, “Should same-sex marriage be allowed by the state?” he went on to say, “If someone is dealing with same-sex attraction or homosexuality, and they want someone to be their life partner of the same gender, though we would oppose that in our churches, it should be allowed by the state.”

Jeremiah 5
30 A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land;
31 The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?

“Tolerance & coexistence” for the sake of “peace & security” are the marching orders for globalization. Matters of sin, righteousness, and judgment, on the other hand, are not tolerated in this new world order. Therefore, the mainstream media promotes phony Christian leaders, who will promote this agenda of peace and tolerance as though it were the calling of Christ to his church.

Matthew 10
34   Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
35   For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
36   And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.
37   He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
38   And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
39   He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.

Nevertheless, God’s word remains the same, and those who abide in it, will be vindicated, by God, as righteous, after the world labels them as intolerant, theological terrorists, hateful, bigots.

Sin cannot be endorsed by Christians, in anyway (not within, nor outside of the church), and especially not by church leaders.

Leviticus 18
22   Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
23   Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.
24   Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:
25   And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.
26   Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:
27   (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;)
28   That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you.
29   For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.
30   Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God.

Leviticus 20
13   If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

Judgment begins with the household of God, and it extends to the rest of the world. Therefore, Christians must never endorse sin, but it must always warn people of the seriousness of sin, God’s righteous standards, and his coming judgment upon the whole world, so that everyone will see their need to turn away from their sins, and believe the gospel of Jesus Christ, since it is the only hope for change, and escape from eternal punishment, for sinners.

As for Ted Haggard, and all of those like him, the word of God makes it very clear concerning, who they are, and what they are doing in the media.

Romans 16
17   Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
18   For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.

2John 1
8   Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
9   Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
10   If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
11   For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

Matthew 7
15   Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16   Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17   Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18   A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19   Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20   Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
21   Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22   Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23   And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
