“the quote of Driscoll’s I was referring to concerning women being deceived was a totally different one, having nothing to do with pastorship.”

If so, can you provide the quote you’re referencing?

My first post was an opinion, not an accusation. In any case, you know as well as I that he’s said other disrespectful things. The Bible does not say that women are more easily deceived because one woman grabbed the fruit. My claws only come out when I hear disrespectful comments backed by misapplied Scripture.

“And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.”

Driscoll quoted the Bible. God said it, not Mark.

Your “source” would definitely need to give citation. Because I’ve heard numerous sermons by Driscoll, and some sessions he has done alongside his wife, and nothing has been said of the sort.

Often feminist “claws” come out when biblical marriage is discussed. Now if you have issue with the Bible (it speaks of women being easily deceived) say it. Don’t attack the speaker merely repeating it.

I most certainly except you to cite him directly if you want to accuse him.

Mark Driscoll (another assumption here) no where, in no way, denies the “strength of women”. Saying such things here, without reference, causes slander; someone reading is prone to take what you’ve said at face value and form an opinion of Driscoll that is completely inaccurate. I don’t think that’s very fair.

As I mentioned in my other comment, I’m particularly sensitive to this issue of making unfounded (and usually slanderous) statements about others. It is rampant on the web and it is causing destruction to a lot of people. Don’t mean to be hyper, I’ve just seen it too much and it grieves me
