He speaks of going "Old Testament" on people - presumably his pastors that he fired. But Jesus said if you look at a woman with lust in your heart then you have committed adultery with her.<BR/><BR/>Under the Old Covenant the penalty for adultery was stoning wasn't it? So do we book our flights to Seattle with our rucksacks full of rocks now?<BR/><BR/>I am not being pedantic and I am certainly not threatening Driscoll's physical state. It sounds like he has got enough of that. But thank God we AREN'T under Old Covenant! Thank God we are under the covenant of grace! There is no call (joking or not) for making statements about wishing to be back under the Old Covenant surely.Dan Bowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15661120561123767936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13792024.post-20451847071406152642008-01-20T16:27:00.000+00:002008-01-20T16:27:00.000+00:00I agree this is a shocking clip.

So where is the biblical basis for going "old testament"? Hebrews tells us were are under a better covenant now, with better promises. And, I trust, better behaviour because we are (or should be) indwelt by the Spirit of God.Peter Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14498529242569940604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13792024.post-30504167932142200802008-01-20T14:59:00.000+00:002008-01-20T14:59:00.000+00:00I've got a question - I wonder when these anonymou...I've got a question - I wonder when these anonymous "discernment detectors" and defenders of orthodoxy get to heaven, what will their answer be when Jesus asks them what they did with their life?
