I am hoping that this will be my final article on the Driscolls and Real Marriage,
at least for the time being. I do not want this subject to dominate my
web site, but I do have one more thing to say. Before I say it, I want
to review a few things I haven’t said. I have seen several
things in the comments and out in the blogosphere attributed to me that I
haven’t actually said, so let me take a moment to refocus
the conversation.
- I have not said that any particular sex act is wrong. The purpose of writing this little series is not to point to any single act and say, “That is wrong.”
- I have not said that Real Marriage is all about sex or sex acts or sexual deviancy or that the book has no value. There are several parts of the book that are actually quite helpful; I will cover these in a review closer to the release date.
- I don’t hate Mark Driscoll.
The
reason I am writing these articles is to (hopefully) show that the grid
the Driscolls use to evaluate sex acts that are right or wrong is
faulty and that introducing that grid to a marriage could be very
harmful. In my last article I showed that the grid does not do an
adequate job of evaluating heart motives. Today I want to show that the Driscolls seem to have misunderstood the very passage they use to construct their grid.
By
way of review, here is the method they teach to evaluate which sex acts
are right and which are wrong. Speaking of 1 Corinthians, they write: Keep Reading >>>
