\"Religion Saves, and 9 Other Misconceptions\"

Son-Of-Fire

14 year(s) ago

That is the title of a book I just got from Mark Driscoll. It looks interesting. Here's the chapter overview - [quote]Question 9: Birth Control There's no doubt the Bible says children are a blessing, but the Bible doesn't seem to address the specific topic of birth control. Is this a black and white topic, or does it fall under liberties? Question 8: Humor Why do you make jokes in sermons about Mormon missionaries, homosexuals, trench coat wearers, single men, vegans, and emo kids, and then expect these groups to come to know God through those sermons? Question 7: Predestination Why does an all-loving, all-knowing, and all-sovereign God will into creation people he foreknows will suffer eternal condemnation?... And the Romans 9:20 answer seems like a cop-out! Question 6: Grace Of all the things you teach, what parts of Christianity do you wrestle with? What's the hardest for you to believe? Question 5: Sexual Sin How should Christian men and women go about breaking free from the bondage of sexual sin? Question 4: Faith and Works If salvation is by faith alone, then why are there so many verses that say or imply the opposite - that salvation is by works? Question 3: Dating How does a Christian date righteously, and what are the physical, emotional, and mentally connecting boundaries a Christian must set while developing an intimate relationship prior to marriage? Question 2: The Emerging Church What can traditional or established churches learn from "emerging" churces? Question 1: The regulative Principle Do you believe that the Scripture not only regulates our theology but also our methodology? In other words, do you believe in the regulative principle? If so, to what degree? If not, why not?[/quote] It looks pretty interesting to me... what do you think?
