"I brought him [Morgan] a nice study Bible and he thanked me, saying I was the first person ever to give him such a gift. The show was edited fairly, though I was bummed they took out the segment where I told him that one day he would be sitting across the desk from Jesus Christ to answer God's questions and that he was not ready for that day." -Mark Driscoll

(Seattle, WA)—Referring to an earlier interview he did with Piers Morgan in which the CNN television host pressed Pastor Mark Driscoll on the subject of tolerance, Driscoll has addressed the subject in a way that will surely resonate with many Christians.

He recalls asking Morgan what his definition of tolerance was. Morgan replied that he thought it was tolerating people "who may have a lifestyle or a belief that you don't agree with."

Driscoll's answer was, "Yes, we have to [tolerate]. When Jesus says, 'Love your neighbor,' He knows you're not going to agree with all your neighbors, but He wants you to love them, to seek good for them, to care for them."

Expounding on the issue, Driscoll continues, "Our conflict was around the old definition of tolerance (which I hold) and the new definition of tolerance (which he, Morgan, holds).

"The old view of tolerance assumed that (1) there is objective truth that can be known/ 2) various people, groups and perspectives each think they know what that objective truth is and (3) as people/groups disagree, dialogue and debate their conflicting views of the truth, everyone involved will have an opportunity to learn, grow, change and possibly arrive together at the truth.

"The new tolerance is different from the old tolerance. The new view of tolerance assumes that (1) there is no objective truth that can be known; (2) various people, groups and perspectives do not have the truth but only what they believe to be the truth and (3) various people, groups and perspectives should not argue and debate their disagreements because there is no truth to be discovered, and to assume otherwise only leads to needless conflicts and prejudices.

"Today morality is more like wine tasting than banking," concludes Driscoll. "In banking, there is a right and wrong answer…but we don't see morality like banking anymore. Instead, we see it more like wine tasting. In wine tasting, everyone has their favorite blends and no one is necessarily right or wrong—it all depends on individual palates.

The problem is, the God of the Bible sees morality like banking, not wine tasting. This is why Jesus referred to sins as "debts" in the world's most famous prayer (Matt. 6:12).
