Thanks for clarifying that, brother. I always thought you looked really old for your age. Now we know the truth.

Saint Criswell? It does not have a ring to it like St. Paul or St. John. What about St. Ivan?

Well some of us are saying that. Daniel is convinced that Piper wrote it, but he offers no internal or external evidence for his claim. Poor diluted boy.

Dennis are you saying that John Piper is about 2000 years old? Be a bit more charitable please.

Thanks for clarifying that, brother. I always thought you looked really old for your age. Now we know the truth.
The folks at Magherafelt Reformed Baptist were convinced I was a 55 year old man because I commented on their pastor's blog using GI Williamson's picture. When the pastor in question pointed this out to me, I replied by saying that I am sure GI would be flattered to know that people think he is only 55 (when, in reality, he is in his mid-80s).

I'm sorry. Piper graduated from Fuller, I graduated from Fuller. Think some of us tend to have messiah complexes?

Why? Are you anticipating that Paul would change his position from the one taught in the Bible?

Sorry, you certainly are not diluted. I think that is the modern American way of spelling deluded.
