It was alluded to before by SM and Cheryl, but I did not think it was made really clear…there is no difference between Piper’s two examples, unless you really believe that “smacking” your wife is NOT a sin. The law in Australia does not agree with Piper…so I do not think he should ever come here!

Also, to me this is another example of comp confusion about where to draw the line in the mixed up world of hierarchy. It is left to the comp men to sort out and dictate what a woman should endure and what she should not. Islam means ‘submission’, and it faces the exact same problems Piper is presenting here, and yet Piper is supposed to be following a faith with a God of love…not submission (in the Islamic sense).
