    i think people mistake calvinism. piper says in another video that he believes BOTH in the all power all controling God AND free will and freedom of choice. albiet in the same video he admits he doesnt know how it works cause of a puny human mind. which i in turn share this belief

  • unityrover says:

    Yeah you’re right eh. These ‘God controls everything and we have no free will’ types forget about Jonah and the whale. We make our own choices we live our own lives, God only intervenes when hes has to, or sometimes at our request.

  • lannyjones says:

    I understand your point concerning pipers theology.
    I would have to respectfully disagree though.
    I dont believe piper would say this because YES God IS sovereign but He did not CAUSE this terrible thing. Yes He did allow it. (To make Himself look glorious in the praise received in the midst of that loss.)
    WE caused it.
    ADAM AND EVE caused it.
    SIN in the world caused it.

    death was never supposed to happen but when I SINNED and CONTINUE to SIN I caused death. Just like everyone else…

    “God is all we need. With Him, we are truly rich!”

    amen!

  • Haukman66 says:

    Do you not believe God is sovereign over all things, including death, and tragedies? Is calvinism just a bad taste in your mouth? I am not up to speed on all that John Piper has said, but him being a calvinist, makes his theology, closer to Biblical doctrine than most.

    Isaiah 45:7

    THE LORD makes GOOD and EVIL.
    YOu do not even create evil….
    You are an empty vessel…
    EIther satans or Gods.

    your are dirty rags, dirt, nothing…..
    YOU dont continue to sin
    You fail to let GOD’s FAITH be in YOU which could keep you from sin.

    That same faith can cause you to be prosperous, but it is GOD given. God can give you materials, especially if he knows you don’t care about them as much as him.

    Its a fine line
    Rich young ruler or Child of GOD.

    if you can give a BMW away…

    you will have alot more BMW’s to give away.

    If you give a BMW to an african IT IS NOT YOUR JOB to make sure that person does NOT IDOLIZE that NEW BMW.

    GOD GIVES AND GOD TAKES AWAY!!!!!!

    GOD POURS OUT ON ALL FLESH…… GOD WRITES HIS COMMANDMENTS ON EVERY MAN’s HEART THAT IS THE NEW COVENANT.

    SO once the AFRICAN loses his new BMW he could be humbled….

    because only a HUMBLE heart is useful to GOD.

    you are NOT GOD.
    HE BLESSES. NOT YOU.

    Jesus fed the 5000. He also gave Peter a miraculous catch of fish which was worth alot of money. It is not money that is evil, it is the LOVE of money. I have left my video here to bless sincere brothers and sisters in Christ.

  • Nechobank says:

    same :)

  • headachehealer says:

    Come and see my video about what the bible teaches about the wrath of God and who it is revealed against. It is not revealed against the general public. Come and find out.. seek truth and be set free

  • lfsilva says:

    So many do not understand why God wants us to prosper and they make messages that twist it, like this man in the video. I’m sorry but this is all out of context of what the heart of the message really means. interpetation is important. God wants us to be blessed to be a blessing. When we love God we turn around and give out our abundance to those in need. We are full of compassion.

  • arovir says:

    John Piper is speaking out against luring people to receive Christ for material gain. This is a perverted gospel. The motive for receiving Christ is for the forgiveness of sin against a holy God, not temporary blessing. Once we are born into the family of God by the new birth, can we learn God’s way to be blessed and be a blessing to others, as Piper said – to give our time, money and lives to others. Therefore I agree with the last four sentences you wrote, but not the first two.

  • headachehealer says:

    Hi everyone. My name is Phil but I have a video here using my AKA headachehealer. God certainly does want to help people prosper. I pray my video will help anyone who is oppressed prosper in Christ.

  • fruitofspirit says:

    YOU GO, JOHN PIPER! YOU ARE TELLING PEOPLE THE TRUTH ABOUT GOD & THE IDOLATROUS, SKANK PREVERSION KNOWN AS THE “PROSPERITY GOSPEL.”

    It ROBS Christ of the time He spent on that cross & tries to replace Him in the hearts of people with their own carnal desires & vain ambitions. It is WICKED. And it is EVIL because it is “GUISED as light.”

    And I pray for the “teachers” of this dogma, before they face God. In order for people to effectively deceive others – they must BE DECEIVED themselves.

    Preach it Brother!

  • countrygirl2240 says:

    people always get this backwards, they say “oh, piper says this, but he is a calvinist, so he’s contradicting himself.”

    In reality it is the other way around. THIS is what John Piper believes (believe me, i go to his church)! Calvinist is a tag that people have put on John Piper when in fact, Piper wont refer to himself as a calvinist. People should look at his message rather than the tag!

  • geneUA says:

    Actually, John Piper clearly calls himself a calvinist. I have nothing wrong with that, and I have nothing wrong with this message, and I love John Piper, but you might want to watch “Why are Calvinists so Negative? (John Piper).”

  • neothomist1275 says:

    “Liberalism, Protestantism, Judaism, positivism all have the same ultimate aim. It is prosperity, or as Lutheran theologians put it, union with God at our level, not at God’s level. The thing all these schools detest is the ideal of union with God at God’s level, proper to asceticism, mysticism, Platonism and pure intelligence, which insist on seeing things under the form of truth and eternity.” — George Santayana

  • BigSalts says:

    WELL SAID!!!! What song is playing in the background, anyone know?

  • 1337girlisback says:

    Prosperity preachers are pimps, prostituting Christ’s
    name for personal gain. They have their reward.
