A Conversation: Tim Keller, John Piper, D.A. Carson (2 of 6)

[polopowers1]

We are the salt of the earth, the light of the world. The gospel does three things it saves, it restrains from evil, and it condemns. If you measure works you measure the gospel unfairly.Not all works done in love are ultimately for eternal benefit for those whom it is exercised upon; but also for the judging of conscience.

In the first few seconds, does Tim Keller say, "I just agree completely", or "I disagree completely"? I have listened to this many times, and I can't make it out.

@BrandonMeagher "disagree" and he was referring to something in part 1. I think he disagrees with the idea that you MUST see direct evangelistic fruit from acts of mercy or helping someone. I think piper was kind of leaning the other way, but they came together as they talked.

@submitted1 No, he says" I *just* agree completely." I initially thought he said "I disagree completely" also, but the context of what he says shows he is elaborating on the same theme as Piper and Carson from Part 1.

Listen to the end of part 1, Keller is constantly going "uh huh" in agreement while Carson speaks at the end.

@Proskuneon You're right, I am wrong. I found an uncut version and Keller says "I just completely agree".

[fiercey]

@BrandonMeagher i just agree
