There’s a lot of superstitious nonsense – prima facie religious or otherwise – around and there is nothing wrong (and plenty right) with calling it out.

“Theology” might be too strong a word …

The big issue with Driscoll is his clear narcissism which is one leg of the Dark Triad of personality disorders. God does not talk to narcissists in this way as he is suggesting. The real Jesus told us to test the spirits. Much of the so called encounters may be fantasy, or lies, but some may actually happen. It is just that these angels are nothing that is coming from God. Most of the encounters that people claiming to be Christians are having are not coming from Holy Angels. Most of the communicating is coming from God’s adversary. I have seen this coming out of a Charismatic background. There are many drawn to this kind of theology that really want to have spiritual encounters so badly that they do not care what the source is. And who better to target when you are an evil spirit then a charismatic individual who has one of the Dark Triad of personality disorders? These people already think like the Devil himself. If the Devil comes as “an angel of (false) light” then would not many of the Devil’s agents also come as “wolves in sheep’s clothing?”
