Nice of you to defend and speak up for Piper.
There seems to be a strange phenomena with wife abuse.
When the wife is abused she often defends the abuser.
The police have a hard time with domestic abuse because
the wife often turns on the police when they show up.
Seems the same thing happens in”The Religious System.”
When “the bride of Christ” is abused, the abused defends the abuser.
Most in “The Religious System” don’t even know they are being abused
lied to, controlled, manipulated, taken advantage of and fleeced.
Wanted you to know I’m a male and a wife – “bride of Christ”
And I no longer defend the abusers of “the bride of Christ.”
Eph 5:11
And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness,
but rather reprove them.
Hasn’t Piper taken the “Title” “pastor.”
Is that so he can control and manipulate?
Did anyone have the “Title” “pastor” in the Bible?
Was anyone ordained a “pastor” in the Bible?
Were any congregations led by a “pastor” in the Bible?
And every pastor I’ve met also had the “Title” “Reverend.”
Does anyone have the “Title” reverend in the Bible?
Do they use “Titles” to control you? Hmmm?
And create prestige for themselves? Hmmm?
Let me not, I pray you, accept any man’s person,
neither let me give flattering titles unto man.
For I know not to give flattering titles;
in so doing my maker would soon take me away.
Job 32:21
Don’t “titles” become idols? Ezek 14:3 -7
If Pipers “Title,” is not an “idol” why not ask him to get rid of it? 😉
The “Title” pastor comes with a lot of baggage not asked for.
Power, profit, prestige, pride, recognition, reputation, etc,
Those things Jesus spoke against. Jesus always took the low place.
Humbled Himself. Made Himself of “NO” reputation. Phil 2:7
1Jo 2:16
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes,
and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
Checked out Pipers website. Browsed some topics.
Found much abuse and twisting of scripture.
We can discuss with what was found, if you like.
In His Service. By His Grace.
