An Offensive Gospel

by Rodney Olsen

Mark Driscoll preaches what many would consider to be an offensive gospel. In an age where it seems every viewpoint is valid, Driscoll claims that Jesus is the only way to connect with God.

Does Mark Driscoll have it right or is it arrogant to claim that your way is the only way?

Is there still a place for absolute truth?

I’d love to hear what you think about the claim that Jesus is the only way but I do ask that before you comment you watch the above video so that you are informed about Driscoll’s position.

By the way, for what it’s worth, I can see no other way to understand the Bible than to say that Jesus does only offer one way to connect to God the Father. As politically incorrect as it might be in this day and age, I’m with Mark Driscoll on this issue.

That’s not to say that I feel any sense of superiority over those with different beliefs or that I can arrogantly say, “I’m right, you’re wrong”. I’m simply a fellow traveller on the journey of life who has discovered a great and beautiful truth which can set us all truly free.

  1. I love Driscoll. He’s got some rough edges at times, but I like him for his rough edges, too.

    He’s no more arrogant than the doctor who diagnoses your disease–a disease that only one medicine will cure, and offers you that medicine. Does that make him arrogant? Too many Christians are afraid to point people toward the One, the only One, who can cure our biggest Disease.
