My native language is spanish and I'm in a process of learning english since 10 years ago. I'm so thankful with God with the fact of pastor John speaks in a clearly way! Every question & answer is helping me a lot! Thank you for doing this! Blessings:)

I’ve been telling this to my family. They say everyone has their own faith. They don’t get there can ONLY be one answer. Please pray for my lost family 😭

[@BNSFGuy4723]

@Siddarth B S I’ll pray for you, Siddarth. Christ is the only way. No one can come to the Father except through Jesus Christ

[@BNSFGuy4723]

@Siddarth B S knowing Jesus means following his word. Doing good to others is a fruit of the spirit

[@jonathan1584]

In other word the new “tolerance” says that you can believe that you are right but not that someone else is wrong

[@paintotheworld8445]

Yea basically and if you say someone else is wrong you will be silenced

[@eatntell1421]

Sharing our views “in love”. I think that’s really the difference between plain judging/forcing of our belief and honest desire to share good to another person. A hard lesson I learned but i’m glad God let me see my error. I had to really ask myself, “Am i doing this for love or do i just want to assert my belief?”

I wish this video went viral lol

[@Rikuarf3]

This was incredibly insightful, I love the way he took a step back before answering the question! Let me say for anyone fearing seeming intolerant, that most unbelievers aren't afraid to tell us that we are wrong, and therefore our boldness and audacity to say the same about their beliefs will not be without company! It's important that we as Christians learn to prescribe appropriate boundaries to every encounter. Perspective is everything!

[@refiloemotsoeneng8777]

Amen Ps. John amen!

[@yunggim3269]

Strong words

[@thaliarose8741]

[@dswanson82]

Golden!!

[@trudyburgoyne808]

This was one of the best episodes ever! Thank you so much pastor John. I am going to be more tolerant in the old tolerant sort of way, as you talked about here!

[@fernandaandre7]

Thanks.

5:00 this is a great discussion topic for the church. For I see that alot of brothers and sis now, who ofc slave away at work in the world and they carry this idea of this 'new' tolerance back to the church. And so if a sister is wrong, everyone hesitates to point that out. And I believe that we should all be like Paul in Gal 2, who is quick (gotta double check if it was indeed quick) to point out Peter's mistake out loud in front of all. (Although to be fair, Peter and Paul were close, and I assume that this display of rebuking was apt and tentative enough. This is a good Sunday school lession for: About the 'World' 101, Decipleship Group 101 7:40 Corrective/constructive debate is an act of love. However, remeber proverbs 9:8-9 9:15 We do things in the open and honest, nothing underhand.

[@smeatonlighthouse4384]

The Lord Jesus gave the example of the wheat and the tares. He said do NOT pull them up in case some of the wheat would be affected. He said He would sort it out at the judgement. So we have to live with it.

[@benitojohngenitojr.5608]

No One is always right, even Christians were not Always Right.Just Love Your Neighbor and Love One Another.GOD knows what is Good to All HIS Created Beings, both good and evil.

[@LitoLochoss]

Christianity is right

[@2brokenwings73]

We can hear about them but we can't up hold them or their customs. Loving our neighbors but having the mind of Christ.

[@lj7420]

Christians we have our beliefs (based only on the Word of GOD/YHWH), act on them, don't belittle ppl (personally), just belittle evil, period.

[@ricklamb772]

Never tolerate false beliefs being imposed upon you,why waste the time ? It just gives them confidence that they almost have you decieved.Best to just shake your head no,show them the hand and move,no use wasting time pretending to listen to a bunch of bull.Praise God and His Son Jesus.No time for losers.

Dust off on unbelievers but use no sword

I greatly appreciate pastor Piper's ministry. he has been a large contributor to my understanding of God this past year among others. but I wish I could speak with him to tell him I know that he desires so greatly for the gift of tongues and that I would if I could trade that gift (as I do have the gift of tongues) for half of his ability to explain the scripture to others and his love and dedication to our Lord. Now I will add this, I am a cessationist. I grew up in a charismatic home with strong roots in word/faith movement. a shallow understanding of the gospel to be sure. not dismissing my own wicked heart I believe this shallow view of God and his truth led to a selfish wicked way of life for 17 years that may have cost me my marriage. I do not believe I was saved before but I know I am now and confidently state I am a calvinst and believe it is the proper view of the bible. and I thank God for picking me up out of the gutter cleaning me off and putting his son's robes of righteousness on me. what I'm saying is this pastor John, I gladly much like Paul forsake all the prior activity of church, bible college, "gift of tongues" for Christ. his granting me repentance, justification and the intelligence and wisdom to understand who he is so that I might be more satisfied in Him each day. I don't say I covet you're abilities but I would gladly trade as if I do truly have this "gift" I see no purpose as far as edification to God as I would if I did have yours. God bless and hopefully you'll be able to see this post.

[@Colossians2v8]

I've had full calvinists tell me it's pointless to give up sinning, since you are either saved in Him or you aren't.... I'd be wary of labeling myself anything other than a Christian. Yeah we were predestined, but we also have free will and should not be unrepentant sinners.

[@aluckyman4552]

You claim to be a cessationist yet claim to have the gift of tongues? 😕 So you speak other languages without ever having studied them? Or just do the ooga booga wooga thing? I'd be very careful about claiming or practising that latter if I was you. But I'm happy for you if you got out that heretical word/faith scene and got saved. It's a real plague, plague of the soul, and a damnable thing.

[@user-uw3fi2zg4t]

Is this idea that every one lives in their own reality

[@user-uw3fi2zg4t]

And everyone has their own truth, it started with semantics

[@peterkropotkin1158]

If Christians shouldn't tolerate false beliefs shouldn't that include there own?

[@rxvenii6975]

Yet everyone has to tolerate Christianity...

Mattew 24:36 36 “Concerning that day and hour nobody knows,+ neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father. Mattew 23:8-10 8 But be not ye called teachers. for one is your Teacher, even Christ. 9 You are all brothers. And call no man father upon the earth. for one is Father, which is in heaven.10 And be not ye called masters. for one is your Master, even Christ.... “YOU must not let people call you ‘leaders’​-you have only one leader, Christ!” (Matthew 23:10, The New Testament) With these words, Jesus made it plain to his followers that no man on earth would be their leader. Their one Leader would be heavenly​-Jesus Christ himself. Jesus holds this position by divine appointment.. Jehovah “raised him up from the dead and . . . made him head over all things to the congregation, which is his body.”​-Ephesians 1:20-23. 2 Since Christ is “head over all things” with regard to the Christian congregation, he exercises his authority over all that takes place within the congregation. Nothing that occurs within the congregation escapes his notice. He closely observes the spiritual condition of each group of Christians, or congregation. This is clearly apparent in the revelation given to the apostle John at the end of the first century C.E. To seven congregations, Jesus stated five times that he knew their deeds, their strong points, and their weaknesses, and he gave counsel and encouragement accordingly. (Revelation 2:2, 9, 13, 19; 3:1, 8, 15) There is every reason to believe that Christ was equally familiar with the spiritual condition of other congregations in Asia Minor, Palestine, Syria, Babylonia, Greece, Italy, and elsewhere. (Acts 1:8) What of today? kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKaphaWNqNVmjrM kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2Wudaqeg9aMl5Y..

[@ricklamb772]

No they should not,and they should never call all religions equal,or they are speaking blasphemy God the Father has established Jesus His Son as the only way to the Father,to be heard or for remission of sins,and eternal life through Him.The true God recognizes none other then those who enter in through the only door to heaven and eternal life,and Jesus is that door.

[@holmspeterson7544]

hahahah. That's funny coming from people who hold false beliefs.

[@homileto4298]

Stop belittling the flat earther, the Bible clearly says that the world is flat.

[@danieljrjang5873]

Where does the Bible say that?

[@metaiv9527]

Its doesn't, and its irrelevant.

[@nintendodude5934]

Arizona person did you like your own comment?

[@aluckyman4552]

Oh clearly, lol. 🤪😏 How ridiculous.

[@kathleenwharton2139]

We are Here to Do "Gods Will"..not Pipers. We are Here to "Seek Jesus and HIS Righteousness"..Not Pipers. Jesus Said..in Matthew 5 6 7.. "Obey My Sayings and Seek Me and My Righteousness..I will Give You Everything You Need and Deliver You from evil." that is Jesus Gospel and Jesus Promise. I see no place for Paul's self titled church men. .which includes Piper. You people greatly error and Piper too when you follow this anti-Christ way.

[@smeatonlighthouse4384]

So you still don't believe that 'all scripture' is giving by inspiration of the Holy Spirit? Come on Kathleen, if you reject part of the Holy Bible, which you know is God's word, then you might as well throw it all in the bin and die in your sins.

[@kathleenwharton2139]

Arizona person You have made men your god..and don’t even know or accept what Jesus Said. Jesus will not Know you. Oh! Well! If that is what you want..So be it! Your loss.

[@kathleenwharton2139]

You should WARN people against listening to clowns like Piper..who give you false beliefs! Jesus offers you direct revelation and He will become your Teacher. It is Jesus you should be Seeking instead of Piper who receives money and takes the glory..for his flapping mouth.
