And they get the beating they deserve.
Neither Driscoll nor Young should 1) be allowed to sell books about the Bible or Theology or the Christian life. Nor should they 2) be allowed to pastor so much as a 1 man church. They both illustrate exactly what’s wrong with mega-church pseudo-theology and its quest not for truth or faith but fame and wealth and ‘prestige’.
The both of them are heretics of the first order because they are leading people with a lie. And Revelation 21:8 nicely describes the ultimate fate of liars:
τοῖς δὲ δειλοῖς καὶ ἀπίστοις καὶ ἐβδελυγμένοις καὶ φονεῦσι καὶ πόρνοις καὶ φαρμάκοις καὶ εἰδωλολάτραις καὶ πᾶσι τοῖς ψευδέσιν τὸ μέρος αὐτῶν ἐν τῇ λίμνῃ τῇ καιομένῃ πυρὶ καὶ θείῳ, ὅ ἐστιν ὁ θάνατος ὁ δεύτερος.
There’s just simply nothing worse than a wolf in sheep’s clothing. In Driscoll and Young we have two.
