Wow.. I didn‘t know of Driscolls quote. That is quite profoundly disturbing. Your remarks on this are so insightful and theologically sharp - thank you!🙏🏼

Good analysis. Seems good. There is, however, a tendency then to say that Jesus is a prototypical critical justice warrior, and that also isn’t true. And because that’s the culture alway we’re in, it’s hard to not just bat the pendulum to the other side in defensiveness. But Jesus demands more than that. Following Jesus will likely be offending any caricature or “pure” political side. And also, humbly accepting that abuse the way he did. (Though I don’t think that means not standing up for yourself at all, but it does look very different, and often, weak).

Not Driscoll’s finest hour - but, hopefully that ship will turn around. There will come a time when that view (or something close) of Jesus will come but, until then, we are to follow the suffering servant.

Driscoll was, and continues to be, a wolf amoung the flock and he boldly says so and still has sheep walking into his teeth

Jesus said his kingdom is not of this world. Everything He did was upside down. Christ modelled perfect manhood in The Gospels. Those who worship the Christ of The Bible will inherit His Kingdom. Those who use their own earthly filter to view Christ will not.

Blessed are the meek, the peacemakers, the poor in spirit, those who mourn, those who hunger and thirst for righteousness...

The problem is that Driscoll (and many others) view the Jesus of the Gospels through the lens of the Jesus of Revelation. The Revelation Jesus is the *real* Jesus in their eyes, and the Gospels Jesus is just cosplaying as being weak. If we all make God in our own image, then of course that’s the God they follow.
