All Abraham’s videos is showing his heart cry. Abraham’s Heart is Weeping.
    My prayer is that The Lord bring someone to Abraham and show the Love of Jesus that will spear that broken weeping heart.

    One of the reasons people can take everything “not serious” or are unable to pose the hard questions of philosophy is because they live in a society, formed by serious christians, that does not require them to make hard choices/decisions. It gets very serious when you’re looking for your next meal or are on your deathbed.

    It occurs to me that to the one who loves Christ and knows He has conquered our sin, death, the devil, and the world, thoughts of the existential variety are really not daunting. To contemplate our existence in light of God's glorious existence and grace unto us, is both a joyful and serious thing. If the Lord's saving actions toward us were only a joke, we would have no joy, but because He was serious in His love for us, we seriously rejoice - we really can laugh at the days to come. But Abraham proves his heart is full of misery, or he would not be trying to manufacture a feeling of happiness and lightness of spirit. He admits these questions daunt him and are grave, because to him, they are and should be.

    I doubt the trembling hands had anything to do with the fear of God. Other than that, good video. It doesn't take much to refute this stuff, though -- every video is the same meta-postmodern garbage, so every response is substantially the same: "What do you MEAN by [objective term]???"

      If the one satisfactory reply is a chapter and verse it takes nothing at all to “refute” anything anyone who is not a believer says. Christians claim Abraham Piper mocks Christianity. Well, Doug Wilson and anyone who bases every “argument” on a sacred text mock critical thinking, philosophy, and the skill of formal argument. Stop pretending that Pastor Wilson is refuting anything. He’s not arguing, he’s adverting his beliefs.

      @@freedomstream1506 You either didn't watch the video or are being willfully obtuse. I don't think Wilson cited a single passage of scripture in the context of an argument from authority. His responses are all about showing that Piper is a poseur, advertising himself as a newly enlightened secularist while having no substantial metaphysic on which to stand, and whose beliefs, though couched in the language of freedom, are in fact nihilistic, leading to radical skepticism and absurdism.
      Anyway, I don't know why I bother answering atheists who skulk about on the internet. None of you have actually studied academic philosophy or any subject related to it; you place yourselves on the basis of your a priori beliefs above everyone who disagrees with you, even if they're way more qualified and intelligent than you are. "Muh critical thinking", "muh formal arguments" -- lmao, dude, get back to me when you've read and understood some analytic philosophy of language, or finish a math class above linear algebra.

But as my initial comment stated, you don't have to do much to RESPOND TO Piper's brand of nihilism (not refute it from first principles) -- all you have to do is show that it's not the preening, confident philosophy that it pretends to be. Doug is not a philosopher, although, if I recall correctly, he does have a BA in philosophy from a secular school. I'm not arguing that his response videos to a TikTok series are Philosophy 101-level material. They don't contain any deductive arguments. That's not really the point, though.
