Very helpful teaching. John Piper raises a very important issue in Bible interpretation in this video, which is that words and phrases in Scripture often have ranges of meaning. Often there is more than one sense of a word or phrase. I would suggest that one common reason for misinterpretation of biblical passages is the faulty assumption that words or phrases have just a single meaning in all contexts. But this isn't the case. Words often have different nuances in different places in Scripture So there are different senses of faith (Rom 5:1; James 2:24), judging (Matt 7:1; 1 Cor 5:13), love (Matt 22:39; 1 Cor 13:5), forgiveness (1 John 1:9; Luke 17:3-4), etc., etc. And, as Piper notes, there are different senses of pleasing people. It can be done in a bad way, and it can be done in a good way.
In case you're having difficulty understanding the translation in the video... Colossians 3:22-25 HCSB [22] Slaves, obey your human masters in everything. Don’t work only while being watched, in order to please men, but work wholeheartedly, fearing the Lord. [23] Whatever you do, do it enthusiastically, as something done for the Lord and not for men, [24] knowing that you will receive the reward of an inheritance from the Lord. You serve the Lord Christ. [25] For the wrongdoer will be paid back for whatever wrong he has done, and there is no favoritism. Colossians 4:1 HCSB [1] Masters, supply your slaves with what is right and fair, since you know that you too have a Master in heaven.
Genesis 2:18-24 "18 Then the LORD God said, " It is not good that the man should be alone; " I will make him a helper fit for him." 19 Now out of the ground the LORD God had formed every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name. 20 The man gave names to all livestock and to the birds of the heavens and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper fit for him. 21 So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closee up its place with flesh. 22 And the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man he made into a woman and bought her to the man. 23 Then the man said, " This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of man." 24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. 25 And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed."( Genesis 2:15-25 ESV) Matthew 3:4-6 "4 Now John wore a garment of Camel's hair and a leather belt around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey. 5 Then Jerusalem and all Judea and all the region about the Jordan were going out to him, 6 and they were baptized by him in the river Jordan confessing their sins."( Matthew 3:4-6 ESV) John 14:6❤😊 " 6 Jesus answered, " I am the way ❤😊 and the truth ❤😊 and the life😊❤. No one comes to the Father( God, our Father in heaven ) except through me."( John 14:6😊❤ Zondervan NIV Study Bible. ) In Jesus'name, i pray( John 14:6, Jesus😊1st❤) Amen.

John Piper, what precisely did you mean when you said: “Christians communicate a falsehood to unbelievers (who are also baffled!) when we act as if policies and laws that protect life and freedom are more precious than being a certain kind of person.” I have read this statement over and over again (in context) and the only thing I can figure out is that this is your muddled way of saying that being against Donald Trump is more important than freedom and life itself. Am I correct?
Trump is a prideful arrogant man. He's the perfect example of how the antichrist will deceive people. Christians literally by, definition worship Trump and give him praise. It's crazy

That just shows your confusion, but then you worship Trump so that's not a surprise
Trump is a prideful arrogant man. He's the perfect example of how the antichrist will deceive people. Christians literally by, definition worship Trump and give him praise. It's crazy
@@HearGodsWordas you worship the Democratic Party. Repent.
