He is but a man at the end of the day. Flawed and wrong, but only God knows his heart. Neither he nor MacArthur should take the place of a pope.

Why aren’t we talking about Joe Biden’s flaws?

To: Psalm 73

Amen. I’m voting for President Trump, but whether he wins or loses, I’m under no illusion that God is on our side and that He won’t judge our Nation even as he is doing so, right before our eyes.

Psalms 3
1 Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.

2 Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.

3 But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.

4 I cried unto the Lord with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.

5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord sustained me.

6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.

7 Arise, O Lord; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.

8 Salvation belongeth unto the Lord: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.

Because Biden is not a Christian and John Piper is talking about “Christians” and what we believe and what many of us don’t believe.

Mmm. But Biden claims to be a Roman Catholic and “Christians” are voting for him because of what Piper wrote and what has been echoed by the media.

Christians who won’t support Trump because of past sins have no idea what Christianity is. All those verses about forgiveness, remembering sin no more, as far as east is from west etc. must not be in their progressive version of the Bible.

John Piper has been in the news quite a bit lately.. He quick to ridicule Trump, but says very little about the filthy democrats...

God may certainly increase America's judgment. A Biden win would certainly be that. It doesn't mean I should not vote, as Piper suggested. Tribulation may be right around the corner but I won't shirk my duty to vote as an American citizen, born into the best form of government under God's heaven.

Each one of us must answer to God for what we have done with the gifts he has given us.

Trump did some locker room talk about grabbing the pudenda of willing females and some prissy ministers just can’t abide that. For them, such an act is so much more horrendous than baby-killing, sedition, treason, destroying the nation. Sick, sick, sick.

“And it’s stunning to me how some in the Christian world are taking him...”

That is strange. Have never heard of him. And, it seems, have not missed a thing.

I’ve had other well-meaning Christians ask me over the past four years how I could vote for Trump. My answer has always been the same: “I didn’t vote for a saint, I voted for someone to make America great again.”

Yes, the President can sometimes be his own worst enemy, but if he stops tweeting or sometimes boasting, he wouldn’t be Trump. He loves this country and that’s good enough for me.

"...and that He won’t judge our Nation even as he is doing so, right before our eyes."

He brought fearsome judgement down upon the apple of His eye, Israel.
We cannot continue to slaughter our babies and mock His model of marriage and expect to prosper as a nation.
He will give us what we deserve, if not now, then soon. But this will be only for a moment - and those who belong to Him will dwell with Him for eternity.

The Pied Piper of Hypercalvinism, Replacement Theology, and Christian Utilitarianism is showing his true colors; A false teacher fit for Laodicea.

I think it’s simpler than that. PIper wants to sell books to Democrats.

I will put it gently...
A vote for the democrats is a vote for evil..
Christians do not support evil...
Use simple logic here to get an answer

For a guy who allegedly knows the Bible, Piper appears to have missed the sections about how God used imperfect men to accomplish his plans.

I agree. I am certain you are right about his motives. I would add that the hard determinism of his belief system may predispose him towards not voting (e.g the outcome has already been decided...similar to Islamic Insh’allah)

Determinism seems to contradict the Bible...

2 Chronicles 7: 14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

I don’t think any Christian could infer that John Pioer thinks it’s OK to vote for Joe Biden. The question should not be whether Joe Biden is a Roman Catholic. The question should be: why hasn’t the RC Church excommunicated him yet?
