[...] And so it was yesterday, when commenter â€˜Mattâ€™ provided photographic evidence (left)Â of Kenâ€™s rush to slander Mark Driscoll over the name (â€Red Hot Bashâ€ New Yearsâ€™ Eve celebration) as if it were some sexual slang or innuendo for church-sponsored sleaze.Â Unfortunately for Ken, thereâ€™s an entire Flickr photoset to dispute his smear.Â I wonder if there will be an apology made to Driscoll and Mars Hill (cue chirping crickets).

Matt – did you bother to look at those pictures!!!!? Clearly they were inappropriately dressed and doing awful things while listening to very questionable music…..and look how close they were standing to each other, and they were not wearing wedding rings, and clearly you lack discernment to not see that this is sexual – inciting them to lust in their drunken frenzy. [ oh wait - can I use the word "suck" here?]

Thanks, Chris, for replying to his post on Driscoll.

I was amazed and a bit disgusted after reading what he said about Driscoll.

So beer drinking=emergent… What!?!!?!

Ken seems to essentially be calling Driscoll a cult member and a heretic, since he has said that Emergent is a cult. That’s pretty scary if you ask me.

Ken, please be more careful with your labels. And while you’re at it, be more careful with your accusations as well. Maybe do some investigation first. That could have prevented saying some very untrue and harmful things.

Here’s photos from the Red Hot Bash. No one looks dressed inappropriately. Everyone is dressed up. It’s not skanky at all.

great pic of the dog!

Talk about the classic leap to extremes:
“getting the congregation liquored up”, “inciting to lust”.

I hate to step into the ham-handed “biblicizing” of the controversy language, but…

does this seem like 21st. c. “judaizing”?
It does to me.
The new “circumcision”.
The new oral law.

I know, I know, “by their fruit…”, blah, blah, blah.

Apparently, many of us didn’t get the full list on the “fruit” we are known by, but I think I’ve been able to piece it together in my perusal of the discerning, arm-chair “research”.

How naive of me to think that love, joy, peace, et. al were enough.

I guess Jesus had to die for my glass of Gruner-Veltliner over Easter brunch. Oh, and for the fact that I enjoyed it too…the “pleasures of sin for a season” and what not…

I wonder if it was worse that I drank on Sunday, much less Easter itself?

This is just silly.
And sad.
