“With John Piper’s “interpretation” this week that the tornado here in the Twin Cities that hit a church holding an ELCA meeting was “a gentle but firm warning [from God] to the ELCA and all of us: Turn from the approval of sin”, he has lost all credibility with me. I simply can’t take anything he says seriously, no matter how serious the topic. It is truly a tragedy that people go to this fount of babbling silliness for presumedly wise cousnel.”

No kidding!!!

I guess he never heard about the parable of the tower of Siloam in Luke 13:4? He has committed the same error that Jesus expressly rebuked.

I cannot believe he actually said (not doubting that it was said) that a tornado hit the ELCA meeting because God was warning them? That is ludicrous.

It must be nice to be so confident that one is not as sinful as others and not in need of “warnings”.

We all have tragedies befall us, even John Piper….not too long ago. God forbid anyone would say that it was because of some personal sin in his life or anyone else in his family.

He sounds like Job’s friends who presumed to speak ignorantly for God, too!
