My friend preyed for help her whole life and she has had one of the worst lives of the people I've met. It wasn't till after she stopped preying and left the church till her life really got better. One didn't cause the other, I ma not saying her life got better because of leaving church but I am saying Why didn't god help her when she was praying?

God is un-manipulatable - you cannot manipulate God - If you ask amiss - you do not receive.

[mikilavush]

The devil is often disguised as a shaved sheep in order to make the sheep shave. (Lev.19:27).

[EXALTEDDIRT]

If you can make god a cuckold;what you have is an idol,you are an idolater,and you need to repent because the bible says that no idolater will inherit the kingdom of GOD!

This is Empty,charismatic,pseudo-intel­lectualism at its finest! This man is spiritually dead!

[SAMSONSLION]

Hey 'exalteddirt' - its true one cannot make God a "cuckold" ( a husband who is being cheated on ) - BUT God uses this language over and over again throughout the O.T. and the New. This is basic imagery for any student of the scriptures. ALSO - this man (John Piper ) is pure and simply a gift from God to our time ! God blesses certain times with spriit filled men of God ( from Augustine to Martin Luther to Jonathon Edwards ). Today, God has blessed us with John Piper. Spritually filled.

who says someone 'gets away with murder'? Who says Jesus taking sin upon himself is a lie? The phrase itself ('reap what you sow') is taken directly from the Bible. :S

[cubikman]

How to make a fool outa god,become a christian.

So you won't not have to reap what you have sown.

[Revinius]

All reap what they have sown, but Jesus grabs some from the fire and takes it upon Himself.

[cubikman]

Then you and your book lie, because as you said some don't reap what they have sown, like you they get away with murder!

The blessing over John P's life & his teaching is that he (excuse me) "dumbs it down" so that even the most slippery excuse, the most wayward church member, the most rebellious Christian, the most hardened false professor of faith doesn't get off the hook. Thanks.

Can you provide me a link on the Desiring God website where I can get this exact sermon video snippet? I know it is the 2006 God is the Gospel conference, but I can't find the video. Can you help? Thanks!
