Mark Driscoll’s sermons are mostly too racy to post on GodTube, the evangelical Christian “family friendly” video-posting Web site. With titles like “Biblical Oral Sex” and “Pleasuring Your Spouse,” his clips do not stand a chance against the site’s content filters. No matter: YouTube is where Driscoll, the pastor of Mars Hill Church in Seattle, would rather be. Unsuspecting sinners who type in popular keywords may suddenly find themselves face to face with a husky-voiced preacher in a black skateboarder’s jacket and skull T-shirt. An “Under 17 Requires Adult Permission” warning flashes before the video cuts to evening services at Mars Hill, where an anonymous audience member has just text-messaged a question to the screen onstage: “Pastor Mark, is masturbation a valid form of birth control?”

. 16 When she saw them, she lusted after them and fsent messengers to them ein Chaldea. 17 And the Babylonians came to her ginto the bed of love, and they defiled her with their whoring lust. And after she was defiled by them, hshe turned from them in disgust. 18 When she carried on her whoring so openly and flaunted her nakedness, I turned in disgust from her, as I had turned in disgust from her sister. 19 Yet she increased her whoring, iremembering the days of her youth, when she played the whore in the land of Egypt 20 and lusted after her paramours there, whose members were like those of donkeys, and whose issue was like that of horses. 21 Thus you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when the Egyptians handled your bosom and pressed3 your young breasts.”
Ezekiel 23:16-21
George Bush for being a sell out to Republican Ideals. If George Bush was Jewish he’d be the type to rat out his fellow Jews to the Nazis. The man and his compassionate conservatism had ruined the republican party. Should have known he was joke just like his Father was. NO MORE BUSH! They gave the Republican party a fatal STD.
Instead of trying ot hide behind “religion” to view it and hear someone joke about it. I understand porn is a major problem within the so called “Christian” community.
jude24, just go for it. Rent the XXXX movies and rent XXXXXX pronographiz humor and pretend it's Driscoll oir however you want to spell his name. Driscoll is disgusting. I'm not surprised at all that the New York Times LOVES this pervert pretending to be a “Christian”.

The NYT is run by a bunch of homosexuals.
“Even the skeptical viewer must admit that whatever Driscoll’s opinion of certain recreational activities, he has the coolest style and foulest mouth of any preacher you’ve ever seen. “
No argument here.
I'm not interested in a foul mouthed person that is NO Christian.
I would bet you know every sinful passage in the Bible that promotes sex in ways God doesn't want us to indulge in. Jude24, you have serious problems ... . You should read on and see what correct behavior is instead of dwelling on the sensational.
Knock off the "Christian veneer" and get the raw porn you yearn for. Stop the high brow "Christian" charade thing. It's unbecoming even for YOU.
That is a disgusting comment. Shame on you.
The point is that the Bible is not delicate.
No, I meant as to whom Jesus would smack down.
What might offend me is someone using the inspired word of God in a misguided attempt to defend this preacher.
These “hip” preachers always give me the willies.
Christianity has always offended religious people, so that doesn’t surprise me.
No, YOU don't get it!
Not ONCE did Christ or any of His apostles TALK like THAT or make sex crude.
The OPPOSITE was stressed with respect and love.
jude24, YOU are a disappointment.

Lift yourself UP from the gutter.
“You really don’t get it, do you?
The point is that the Bible is not delicate.”
No, YOU don’t get it!

I very much doubt that a carpenter and fishermen were shocked by blue talk.
Christianity has never offended me.
Abuses of it has.
- Especially by those who pretend they are the only ones who are Christians and anyone who objects is someone just religious without being Christian.
Goes both ways.
This is simply the next phase in the “Emerging/Emergent Church” movement.
The Armenian ultimately believes the God couldn’t save them if He wanted to. Because the creator of the universe isn’t powerful enough to makes us desire Him.
Can't say I know anything about this Driscoll guy, but what is so hardcore about Ezekiel Chapter 20? Mostly about the Lord God condemning the house of Israel for abandoning His commandments.
I suspect God is quite capable of doing Anything He Chooses
Perhaps, however, God may Choose to Limit Himself
I'm just going to have to ask Him, next time we Talk
No, it doesn’t.
I never addressed you as “religious” as opposed to Christian.
So, it’s all coming from you.
