Mark Driscoll exposes his deep issues with women in his blog about Esther

[Psalm 51:17]

Here’s some quotes:

"She grows up in a very lukewarm religious home as an orphan raised by her cousin. Beautiful, she allows men to tend to her needs and make her decisions. Her behavior is sinful and she spends around a year in the spa getting dolled up to lose her virginity with the pagan king like hundreds of other women. She performs so well that he chooses her as his favorite. Today, her story would be, a beautiful young woman living in a major city allows men to cater to her needs, undergoes lots of beauty treatment to look her best, and lands a really rich guy whom she meets on The Bachelor and wows with an amazing night in bed. She’s simply a person without any character until her own neck is on the line, and then we see her rise up to save the life of her people when she is converted to a real faith in God".
 
Feminists have tried to cast Esther’s life as a tragic tale of male domination and female liberation. Many evangelicals have ignored her sexual sin and godless behavior to make her into a Daniel-like figure, which is inaccurate. Some have even tried to tie her story in with modern-day, sex-slave trafficking as she was brought before the powerful king as part of his harem. What’s the truth? We will see, as I’m still studying and praying.
 
Esther is a godless book.
 
"God is never mentioned in the book. Esther is not mentioned anywhere else in the Bible. Except for explaining the origins of the Jewish feast of Purim, the book seems entirely secular and without any remote reference to God. No one prays, no miracles happen, and God never shows up in any way. But, as we will see, God is throughout the book like a silhouette. He works throughout the book, not through his visible hand of miracle, but rather his invisible hand of providence. For those who wonder if God is in their life because they have not seen or heard him, Esther’s life is like yours and God’s work in her life will reveal to you God’s work in your own."

[Psalm 51:17]

I've crossed paths with one pastor who's preached against Freemasonry, Catholicism, Islam, pseudo-christian cults like Christian Science/Jehovah's Witnesses/Mormonism, and one time even invited a former Mormon(who converted to Christian) to speak to his church warning about the New Age Movement deceptions.

But somehow, not only he thinks highly of Mark Driscoll, but works with an Acts 29 pastor(which Driscoll heads) to help "plant" churches. Obviously, the Acts 29 ministry should be a red flag immediately b/c for obvious reasons - there's NO 29th chapter in Acts.

Go figure...
