I just read John Piper’s view. He’s wrong. He is weighing one sinful behavior against another equally. This belief is something that is creeping into the church. (I just left a church for saying the same thing.) There are some sins that are far worst than others. The midwives of Egypt were blessed by God for lying to Pharaoh about not murdering the Hebrew boys.
Piper has placed himself as judge and he’s not. That in itself is sinful. Does that mean I should stop listening to him? I suppose it does if it continues given that he’s a teacher.
Thank you. Excellent reference.
