I also think that Piper would be open to a friendly debate on this, and maybe even open to some correction, if he was approached directly. just a thought.

I feel rude, but I don’t have it in me to read all eighty of the previous comments . . .

this posting made me sad because I have always loved so much of what John Piper has to say. “Don’t Waste Your Life” was a book that impacted me deeply, and his Desiring God Ministries’ “Children Desiring God” curriculum is absolutely amazing to me.

BUT–I have always said, “I’m with him on everything except the men/women thing”. Until reading this post, however, I wasn’t aware of how deep this whole “men/women thing” went with him. Now I find myself sad and kind of torn, because his position (as represented by the above) is unacceptable to me, and yet I am reluctant to throw out all of the positive ways in which his way of thinking has impacted my life. lots to think about.

. . . and my spam filter word is “helper”–as in “the woman is supposed to be the helper”?!?! just kidding. ;-p
