Did John Piper say why he was telling everyone they had to get the deadly clot shot?
RE: Did John Piper say why he was telling everyone they had to get the deadly clot shot?
Can you share a link with us that quoted him saying that?
By the way, before we go off topic, I’d like everyone to focus on the TOPIC of this thread instead of going off topic on vaccines.
I was focusing on the credibility of John Piper.
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.
This is from Piper’s very crafty article about why Christians should get the clot shot:
“You are free to say with integrity, ‘My decision to be vaccinated is not a political decision. It is not right wing, or left wing. It is a biblically informed act of love.’”

Who needs this pretender’s six reasons when our own single reason is sufficient?
RE: I was focusing on the credibility of John Piper.
One can be right about one topic and wrong about another.
For example, I’m not going to NOT vote for Trump just because he encouraged everyone to get vaccinated for Covid, and if it boils down to Trump vs RFK jr., I am not going to vote for RFK Jr. over Trump just because he was right about the Covid vaccines.
We ought to evaluate what a person says based on the reasons he gives about a specific topic. That’s why I asked you to please focus on this topic.
We need a “Biblical reason”?
How about plain old common sense?
He is a flaming lib
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.
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. 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
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 ...
Neither is a divorced man qualified to be an elder, if one applies the Word as written: A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach[.]" I Timothy 3:2 AKJV (emphasis added).
.
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
https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/970805/jewish/Cross-Dressing.htm
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!
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.
If Piper is merely an unknowing participant in the fraud and not an active member of the cabal, then I apologize.
The effect of my speculations about Piper would have negligible effect on his status.
