  • You have yet to give specific reasons as to why you made your comment. I could have guessed most of that through inference because I am a normal human being.

  • @phillycj268 I hope that helps.

    Peace

  • @phillycj268 2) As for why I made the statement. I followed a link on a previous Piper video and found this one. I am reasonably familiar with Piper's videos and have seen him describe his views on a number of topics; homosexuality, equal status for women, other religions and Atheism based on evidence not faith. If I were to choose one word to describe my thoughts on his worldview, it would be the same word that my ambiguous statement inferred.

  • @phillycj268 OK,

    1) It was an intentional pun, the inference being that Piper is filled with something that is usually described by an earthy anglo-saxon word. However this belies a deeper inference, which could be taken as religious zealotism. By keeping the definition open-ended and deliberately ambiguous it was my intent to present a sceptical summation of my interpretation of Piper's worldview - humorously.

  • Yea, both. Just curious as to your reasons why you said that.

  • @phillycj268 Are you asking for an explanation of the statement in its literal sence i.e. what IS Piper filled with?

    Or are you asking me why I made the statement?

  • @UrukEngineer Care to explain?

  • @nndlchModi Va multumesc

  • @UrukEngineer you really made me laugh.

  • All, every time the new testament uses the word baptism, look it up in the Greek and definitely use a bible dictionary and thesaurus. when you discover the actual word used apply it to the context of the scripture your reading and tell us what you find. this helps....! hint the Greek had multiple uses for baptism in the new testament.
