John Piper is a false “pied” piper.

He has the outer appearance of a Christian, many follow him.

He is a full Calvinist, so I suppose in his mind, the lost being aborted is not an offense to God.

Pride to him is a worse offense, because being the “elect” they tend to that.

“He is a full Calvinist...”

Yep.

So I guess it was destined for Piper to come up with such a ridiculous and childish comparison with abortion.

There are some hyper-Calvinists -- I've debated some on the Internet, though not on FR -- who think abortion is no big deal, because the victims are certainly not among the "elect". After all, if they were among the elect, God wouldn't have let them be aborted!

With circular reasoning like that, you can justify killing a three-year-old just as easily, or most likely anyone you don't like, simply by asserting they're not among the "elect". And IIRC, there's no exception clause to "Thou shalt not kill" saying "... unless you're sure your victim is not among the 'elect'".

Piper is a hyper-Calvinist of the worst sort. Had him figured out decades ago.

There are at least two hyper-Calvinists on FR who claim Billy Graham preached a false Gospel.
