Contra John Piper

[Bethlehem57]

Here’s the link from The Gospelist who wrote a blog about “Contra John Piper” a pastor who is part of The Gospel Coalition who seem to focus on Israel being replaced by the church, teaching that many have bought- hook, line and sinker.

Contra John Piper

One of the more destructive doctrines to infect the modern-day church is contemporary reformed theology.If anyone is wondering why evangelism is stunted and impotent we need only point to this new, evolving ideology as one of the reasons. Its emphasis on overintellectualized nonsense, which has...

It’s a poisonous doctrine that teaches also. that the Book of Revelation is to be taken as symbolically. And of course all prophecy has been fulfilled as of 70 AD. Some also believe that the church will pave the way for Christ’s Second Coming. As if humankind could do anything to make way for King Jesus’ return!

There’s a lot more wrong with this teaching but I’ll leave those details to the experts.

I do not like John Piper's dogma and I think our son's church use his ridiculous books, etc.; which makes me even more set against him.

They are a mess. Hand in glove with the Dominionists and Reconstructionists who share extrem Reform theology and the same replacement theology. Also Douglas Wilson's group and his emphasis on the Trivium and bringing back a classical Latin curriculum infused with this theology.

Back in the early 90's when I was homeschooling the kids thru high school and leading the homeschool group in Prince George BC, that lot was extremely divisive and really worked at trying to spread those doctrines. When I left the group split in 3 ways- those ones, the regular normal Christians and the hippies who were largely agnostic and were homeschooling from a free wheeling lifestyle. Before the split when I ran the whole show it was like herding cats down the highway and the fault wasn't with the hippies or the regular Christians all of whom had an easygoing nature. It was the legalistic freak show operating in one end of the room causing trouble.

I avoid John Piper because he’s into so much nonsense.

I suspect that what's going to happen is these students of their own imaginations will help pave the way for the antichrist.

Sadly, my son-in-law takes this stance. However, there is always hope in prayer and he has a pastor that DOESN’T believe this part, however, I’m not sure about replacement his replacement theology and if I had to guess it’s probably along that path.
