You've biblically shot your argument in the foot with that one. Goes back to the garden and the choice Adam and Eve made. Their own ability to determine right and wrong (The knowledge of Good and Evil)for themselves. This is nothing but the dependence on human intellect. The choice we should be making is the tree of life. Utter dependence on God in all things. You don't like the choice God has made to put Mark Driscoll over a ministry that has brought many to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Then the only place for you is to be on your knees before God with your concerns. Can't trust God to take care of the situation, then you need to. You were saved by grace, continue to walk by grace and should learn to show that same measure of grace toward all, including Mark. Can't do that? Then remember these words from our Lord " Forgive us our sins, as we forgive others". You walk without God's blessing in this matter. It's time you remove this divisive blog from the net. You are certainly not doing anything to promote unity and love for one another within the Church. Maybe Marks decision was wrong. I can't say. He's responsible to God alone for his actions. But your sin doesn't solve anything in this matter. What is your sin? You have questioned the authority of God in appointing Mark as head of the Mars Hill Church movement. So take it up with Him. Don't take up sides with the enemy in this matter. You only bring shame to the name of Christ. When God calls you to your own ministry you can stand before God accountable for your decisions in it. Until then stop thinking so highly of yourself. For your works here are as "filthy rags". Love that the only references given in the articles on the Wittenberg Gate are to what psychologists believe.

I am interested to hear what he had to say since many have contacted him to speak with MH elders about what has happened as a possible means to confront them or bring them to repentance and reconciliation.
