Truly, the internet is a theater of dilettantes.
I don't want to say even "good guys" aren't immune from criticism here on the PB. You know, like JoelD'oh!steen and JackHugee take their lumps, so too the Pipers and Sprouls, right?
My personal feeling? I'm not worthy to polish Piper's shoes.
Subjecting him to withering criticism, when he has done more to bring people to sound, calvinistic soterioolgy than any 50 of us, or maybe 100; and this quibbling over terms, by so many who not only haven't a fraction the breadth of his earning, years of experience, or mantle of office.
Piper isn't a snake-oil salesman. He isn't a psychologist, charismaniac, or a professional eschatologist parading as a preacher.
Any man's public statements or published writings leave him open to legitimate critical responses. Although it's typically fair-play to let a man clarify or contextualize himself.
Those of you who know Piper by the title of a book, do everyone a favor and don't type anything, Prov. 17:28. As for others, just remember the standard of your measurement, Mt 7:2.
WOW!!!! WOW!!!! WOW!!!! And can I add a WOW!!!! End the thread now. Nothing better could be typed and nothing more should be added. WELL SAID with a capital WELL and a capital SAID!!!! You are not da wabbit in my book, Bruce, you are DA MAN!!!!
