A Response to Russell Moore and David French | Guest: John Cooper | Ep 920

[@kimpreslar303]

John Cooper literally and figuratively ROCKS for the Truth!! So glad he has published a passionate and insightful book about this critical topic. Thank you John and Allie Beth for all you do to courageously and soundly represent true Christian evangelicalism and the biblical Truth it’s based on!

[@rhondaharris398]

To the lady who thinks "what happens to the people who don't believe this stuff" is a good argument...what happens to the people who don't believe your secular religion?

[@eldapeck5353]

I love John so much. He truly makes me feel joyful when he speaks. It’s Jesus I hear, and my heart leaps.. thankful for you both.

[@Kell1977]

I wrote a persuasive argument essay about abortion, and I specifically detailed how abortions are completed, the tools used, and I was destroyed for days after writing it. My pastors all had a hard time reading it, and I genuinely believe if women were actually educated in how they perform abortions they would rethink their decision.

[@LorriRoth]

God bless you for taking a stand on this issue.

[@Kell1977]

@@LorriRoth Thank you. God bless you and may His peace be around you always.

If you say you’re a born again Christian and the world loves you you’re doing something wrong!!!!!! If we’re suppose to be like Jesus the world hated Him and He said we would be hated too!!!

I'm more convinced each new day that the pre-tribulation rapture is near! It's at least like being on a high mountain with a view of 7 or 8 lower mountain ranges!! The rapture represents one of the mountain ranges! I don't know exactly how far away the "rapture range" is, but the current point is, it's within view now!!! Years ago I couldn't use this illustration. Now I believe I truly can!! Please trust Jesus, and quickly!! You do Not want to be on this planet when the church is gone - no more direct help about your need for Jesus, And the tribulation will mean only lies and false promises and, worst of all, if you trust Jesus (like I pray you do Now) during the tribulation you most likely will be put to death in a horrific way because you betrayed the antichrist and trusted Jesus!!! Don't wait! Please don't wait!! Join us, the body of born again believers - born of the Spirit - "you must be born again"- words of Jesus - John 3:3

I think Rob Reiner forgot that "Meathead" was a fictional character he played, not meant to be his real life persona

[@gummylens5465]

21:10-21:34 Brother, many many professing Christians preach Trump more readily than Christ. Politics in general (securing power) has become a golden calf for us as much as the liberal utopias. (And I include myself here. Guilty of it myself.) Having the fear of man for woke mob is terrible. Yes. But please, please don't ignore the way too many conservatives preach self-righteous moralism faster than repentance. There's a reason secular conservatives are confused with saved Christians. Because we both preach moralism, not repentance. The unsaved don't know the power of regeneration. They don't know the Jesus we do. They fear having to conform to a set of beliefs they don't practice, just like we do. Great points in the rest of the video, though! I know you don't like this author, but I highly recommend Jonah: The Prodigal Prophet by Tim Keller.

[@duckling30_902]

Reminds me from a Biblical perspective how Jesus delivered a demoniac and legion was sent to be in the pigs. Long story short the pigs "rushed down into the cliff and perished." It's so ironic that we trace back into the Bible of how people complain about how Christ actually loves sinners because of their faith.

[@lorysipel6823]

We have to look to the Bible not to man. Our world view is what the Bible says. Read it, learn it, memorize it, and act on it. You're not a Christian nationalist you're a Christ follower.

[@sethtowerhurdwrites]

The girl from Minneapolis he references was at my wedding... my wife's friend. Minneapolis girl fell off hard.

[@sukeyfrugalfrau]

This is in many ways a very profound video. Uh huh… to be a good person based on the popular and I might say very uninformed equity perspective… could not be further from the truth…. This is why I am now an orthodox, no compromising to utopian, colonial Marxist views. In the real church we demand good outcomes based on biblical morals.

[@dkerke]

[@cristinabivins2240]

M16:00... Saying “c*jones” is NOT a nicer way to say it 🙄 it is actually quite offensive. It IS a curse word that just happens to be in Spanish. It's like me, a native Spanish speaker, saying the F-word to be *nicer*. .

Um, absolutely, 💯 wrong comparison

I hope no one stole his motorbike while he was in the studio. Hopefully people will learn how to dress well again.

[@kevinnechodom8931]

John, I am greatly sorrowed by this interview. On the one hand, I disagree with little of your positions. As a Christian, I grieve for injustice and the bending of truth. You make good points about the concept of Utopia as an impossible goal. However, it is that love of truth that causes me to point out that you do not have a good understanding of David French’s position on Drag Queen Story Hour. You are reacting to misrepresentations of what he said. Did you follow that biblical admonition in Matthew 18 to first go to the person who offended you? I wonder if this could have been avoided if the 2 of you had gotten together over a cup of coffee and discussed it. You deride ‘shutdowns’ and ‘jabs’ as something unholy imposed on us. In truth, the responsibility for public health falls upon the States, and their decisions had to be done in pandemic circumstances. It may have not been done correctly, and some assumptions may have been wrong, but it was not an evil Cabal enforcing their will. It was the work of officials working with incomplete information in an environment that required immediate response. Your use of the ‘prophetic’ voice may not be my preference, but it is not my call. Just know that that language in the Bible was accompanied by “Thus says the Lord,” and the consequences for inaccuracy and error was severe. Be aware that you are inviting judgment upon yourself.

[@kst1340]

Great episode! Everytime I hear John speak I appreciate him more

[@janinevanreenen9470]

Same. Had no idea!

[@laurenkwarren]

Cooper Stuff!!!!!!!!! Love John Cooper so much. Thank you both for calling out the folly and standing for the truth! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Lord have mercy.

[@moosechuckle]

We, sadly, watched multiple people and couples fall away from God during the pandemic. With the absence of church, the division in the media, and no one standing up for righteousness, they looked for a more watered down and woke Christianity. We even had a pastor come out, after years of struggling, as gay and he’s now living out his life with another man. The pandemic didn’t just hurt kids, it hurt believers, and those who should have been witnesses. On the flip side, I, and my entire family, became even closer to God and understand His word.

[@Robert_Sparkman_07]

Was the pastor married? Did he have children?

[@thorpeaaron1110]

So you became closer to non-existent being?

[@moosechuckle]

@@Robert_Sparkman_07 No kids, and never married. So it wasn’t like his actions broke up a home. Kinda broke up the church a bit, but not a home.

[@westyso.cal.8842]

The so-called “pandemic” wasn’t the issue. It was the lockdowns that we’re the main issue, but God used it to purge and purify His Church. We are not the pre-Covid church any longer.

Hi Allie, please have Dr. Michael Brown on your show. He’s a messianic Jew and is a strong voice concerning what’s going on in Israel with Hamas. As well as, a great voice for calling for revival in the Body of Christ or we die. He has written many powerful books.

My leftist aunt thinks communism "has its merits". She also believes in the 10 commandments...but that's it.

[@breannawilliamson9787]

Love this but there is no difference between pro-choice and pro-abortion

[@laurenkwarren]

I think he would agree with you, I think what he means to emphasize (I listen to all his podcasts) is that there are some people who are like “I believe a mother should have the right to choose if she absolutely has to” which is still terrible, but now there are people who are actually blatantly like “we love abortion, abortion is great!” The whole “shout your abortion thing”.. I think he was trying to illustrate those two “camps” that are existing.

[@emilyderby5814]

“Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD and against his Anointed, saying, “Let us burst their bonds apart and cast away their cords from us.” He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord holds them in derision. Then he will speak to them in his wrath, and terrify them in his fury” - Psalm 2

[@jbwetzstein]

Great episode. Funny to refer to Andy Stanley as a pastor. He traded the gospel for catering to the culture. The gospel might hurt people’s feelings, you know?

[@Christianchoose]

Christmas is about Christ, his Atonement, and his suffering in the Garden of Gethsemane, his resurrection, He lives! Come unto Christ learn of Jesus Christ visiting the descendants of Lehi! Jesus Christ did visit them! 3 Nephi chapter 11! Jesus Christ preserved the record of his visit to Lehi's descendants so that we could have another witness of his resurrection! Come unto Christ this Christmas by accepting further light and knowledge of Jesus Christ!

Unfortunately you’re speaking about the two of ends of the spectrum that both get too political. That doesn’t mean nationalism in church is not a problem. Probably better to have someone on that is truly not political

[@jsshay01]

How can one help it when we are to be the Church? We have to be the Light of the world, and shine in the darkness that is this “moral night” of these times, in this world but not of the world. That’s what the Bible tells us.😔🙏🏼

[@TheGangsterflavor]

Great conversation. Although I always question someone who claims they are a Christian that has that many tattoo’s….

[@TheGangsterflavor]

Not that you can’t be a real Christian. But there are multiple passages in the bible that talk about how you’re body is a temple… and it makes me question his sincerity, because imo getting that many tattoos it shows with you’re actions you don’t take the Bible that seriously. Tattoos apparently are more important to him

Sin, faith, and eternal life ... all the rest is just window dressing? Faith = is time and space infinite if only I exercise magical thinking? Modern physics says yes? This is one reason I lean towards communism.

I pre-ordered u his book and it just shipped yesterday! 🥳 If every Christian (body of Christ) took our matching orders from Christ (the head of the body) we will all be on the same page like Allie and John are.
