Did John Piper say why he was telling everyone they had to get the deadly clot shot?

[vpintheak]

Though Gods grace, so I’m rooting His horn, I’ve done my best and have followed all these points. Just by following Gods clearly written Word.

Who needs this pretender’s six reasons when our own single reason is sufficient?

[ProtectOurFreedom]

We need a “Biblical reason”?

How about plain old common sense?

[Chickensoup]

One detail.

When it comes to school aged kids parents do not have a choice the children will be removed. Keep them out of schools.

[Guenevere]

I am a long time fan of John Piper……

…..whether others here are not does not negate the Biblical common sense he is speaking
‘Reasonisfaith’ and others should try to understand the anguish many parents are going through with this transgender evil.
Piper is speaking truth to love.
He is standing on God’s Word

Stop trying to hijack a needful thread!

Rev. John Piper offers 6 biblical reasons why parents shouldn’t let their kids cross-dress

Rev. Piper again, beating around the bush giving six reasons when one (which he omits from his bloviated list) will suffice: “A woman shall not wear man’s clothing, nor shall a man put on a woman’s clothing; for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God." Deuteronomy 22:5

[11th_VA]

Seeing how John Piper’s kids turned out, he’s the last person in the world I would turn to for advice on raising kids - he’s not even qualified to be an elder - just sayin ...

Devarim (Deuteronomy) 22:5

לֹא־יִֽהְיֶ֤ה כְלִי־גֶ֨בֶר֙ עַל־אִשָּׁ֔ה וְלֹֽא־יִלְבַּ֥שׁ גֶּ֖בֶר שִׂמְלַ֣ת אִשָּׁ֑ה כִּ֧י תֽוֹעֲבַ֛ת יְהֹוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֶי֖ךָ כָּל־עֹ֥שֵׂה אֵֽלֶּה

A man’s attire shall not be on a woman, nor may a man wear a woman’s garment because whoever does these [things] is an abomination to the Lord, your God.

Cross-Dressing

Interesting quote from the article:
“Maimonides, in his “Guide for the Perplexed,”4 states that some of the ancient pagan rituals involved cross-dressing and that we must therefore distance ourselves from this type of behavior.”

What’s old is new again!

[cymbeline]

Kids need more than unguided looking at themselves and their world to know who they are and their place in the world. Kids can be led astray beyond the point of no return. Kids need leadership that holds them back from the extremes, not seduces them toward extremes.

All of the above applies to adults also but society knows that adults must contribute to society, not remain in often expensive training and rehabilitation to keep them out of trouble.

In the old days dangerous adults were much more quickly eliminated from society than they are today.

His answer is ok. Here is my suggestion.

Teach a child to appreciate their value. They can be the unique and precious individual made by God, or a poor imitation of something else. God makes no mistakes, and they are perfect as is, and part of a much greater perfect plan. God's perfect will is your Happy place.

One of my favorite stories to make this point, was when Israel was told to build an altar, they were instructed to use stones, not bricks. And the stones were not to be fashioned by man. So each one would be a unique creation of God. I see a parallel for mankind. Every person has a perfect plan laid out for their life. They are uniquely prepared, given the Grace necessary to fill that role. It is vital to the Body of Christ that they fill that role. And when they find their place, embrace the plan and purpose God has for their lives, their life will be filled with joy, excitement, peace, and contentment.

The world (and god of this world) tells them that this is not the case. That is why parents must be vigilant, guard who has access to your children, monitor what they are teaching/sharing, and same goes for TV/music/Internet. Kids are being told its "cool" to be different - WHEN THEY ALREADY ARE UNIQUE!

I actually made a short video adaptation from my Boris Kitty series called Duck Dreams. Boris dreams of being a duck, and God explains why this might not be a good idea. This was prompted by this very issue. Hope you enjoy.
