Chapter 10 Gates, Wolves & Mere Men

An expanded understanding and appreciation of culture and context facilitated a revision of this chapter. 

 

Gehenna is not "Hell"

Foregoing a modern Western filter and utilizing an ancient Eastern mindset generated a reasonable understanding of Gehenna.

Back the Blue

It's an appropriate opportunity to acknowledge those who "bear the sword" in the only job ordained by God (law enforcement - Romans 13:1) and to recognize the men and women who, by carrying a badge and gun and facing the constant risk in protecting the lives of others, may also face the sacrificial reality of the loss of their own lives. No greater love...

What Is The Gospel.jpg

Mr. Gilbert’s theology is energetic and insidious.  His belief system does not allow him to rely upon the Gospel of John to find the principles of justification salvation. To him, becoming a Christian has a great cost for men and women – it’s not a free gift. See a current review of this popular book.

Game show hosts can say the silliest things. When they get paid to be pastors, their words carry a more dangerous edge. For Mr. Driscoll to say, "There is no such thing as free will. I would go so far as to say it's a demonic deception" and then state, "We are responsible for the choices we make. We do make choices and we're responsible for them"- this is known as a contradiction. In police work we call it "stuck on stupid." The Merriam-Webster dictionary has a simple definition for free will: 

 

NOUN - Definition of free will 1: voluntary choice or decision "I do this of my own free will."

Calvinism then forces the game show host to make a non-biblical statement; "You're not free to decide whether you go to heaven or hell." Have fun selling that to 1.) a 6-year old, 2.) an atheist or 3.) a person with half a brain. Mr. Driscoll appears to be committed to weak theology and flashy entertainment. His investment in the pagan determinism of Augustine and in error-riddled Gnosticism does not seem consistent with the biblical principles of grace and truth. Mr. Driscoll may possibly be better off laying down his agenda and instead pursue Judeo-Christian principles. Jms. 3:1, 2 Tim. 2:15-18, 4:3-4, Titus 1:10-11, Gal. 1:7, Phil. 1:22, Heb. 11:25, Lev. 7:16, Ex. 35:21, 29, Dt. 23:23, Josh 24:15
