Mara

I’ve seen this Piper/abuse quote several other places.
The more I read it, the angrier I get.

The Comp position makes it easier and a far cry better for a woman to remain unsaved or to just plain backslide. Then the church can’t say much to her when she responds like a normal human being (in shock and outrage) to her husband’s group sex suggestion. Then the church can’t say much when she refuses to allow herself to be smacked around because she either leaves at first sign of trouble or uses overwhelming violent force back (i.e. gun, knife, fire, whatever it takes to stop the bully who thinks he’s king).

If Piper’s advice truly was the heart of God (WHICH I DON’T BELIEVE FOR A MINUTE) Then it would be better if all women stayed away from church or at the very least, never marry. (Remember the Shakers? They did that.)

I thank God I don’t have to stay way from Him and His true church and marriage because of the lies perpetuated by well-meaning but off-their-rocker preachers like Piper.

Love Kay’s idea. Piper needs to play the part of the “smacked around one” for a night before he gives this advice to others.
