John piper abraham piper5/18/2023 ![]() ![]() I used it as a teaching moment for my own son, where he and I watched some of his videos together, and I asked him his thoughts, and then we discussed the nature of the Proverbial fool. I will say at the onset that when I first stumbled across him some months back, I found it quite sad. The reason for this is relatively simple, in that the deconstructing Abraham has taken a fancy to TikTok with clever, catchy tidbits of him mocking the Christian faith (which is so in vogue today). ![]() One of the more recent examples people think of would be that of John Piper’s son, Abraham Piper. ![]() However, in keeping with the spirit of this post, I want to touch on what I believe to be the main reason why so many are defecting from the faith. In the end, I don’t believe that will prove any more satisfying an answer to people than what the apostle John says here, namely, because they are one in the same. On one level, I understand the plight of the one who believes that to be a reductionist answer, because they want to know the reason why so many are deconstructing. Now, for many that is simply not a satisfactory answer because at first blush, it’s a bit too Calvinistic, especially when one considers what the remainder of the verse speaks to about the nature and perseverance of those who remain within the church and endure to the end. ![]()
