http://Godnoliar.com/?p=58 Mark Driscoll says that Jesus lusted after women and wanted to sleep with his female disciples. The popular preacher from Mars Hill church says, "If you're tempted to these sorts of things -- including sexual sin -- some of you say, "Now Mark, Jesus wasn't sexually tempted." Well, of course he was -- 30 something year old single man who had women who adored him. You don't think he ever wanted the comfort of a woman?

"Oh no", Driscoll would say, "Jesus wasn't mediating on the Law day and night - some of the time, he was fantasizing about his female disciples". Secondly... 2) Driscoll has no idea what sin is. Well, he has *an* idea -- it's just not the Biblical idea. He says, "we need to distinguish between temptation and sin. They're two totally different things. If you don't get this distinction, Satan will absolutely destroy your conscience. Temptation is where we are ...
