Hahahahaha … priceless.
I was going to add, ‘and chapters 10 & 11’, but thought 2 lines down the bottom would lose it’s snappiness đ
Jason,
Could you create a new image without the hat? I am not a big fan of the hat. I honestly barely noticed it at first, but now it seems to detract from the main point- Piper’s unusual exegetical method in interpreting Romans 9. The hat can come across as offensive as it can portray him as stupid. I doubt you think he is stupid, even if he neglected very important Biblical information in interpreting Romans 9. My guess is the hat is a way of kinda making light of interpreting Romans 9 while neglecting Paul’s actual conclusion to the chapter, but since it is on his head, it comes across as a little too personal and insulting. Anyway, if you can provide a new image, I will leave the post up, but if not I will be taking it down soon.
Thanks,
Ben
Sure, when I get home I’ll repost it in the SEA google group.
Thanks. It is a point well made; I just don’t want to unnecessarily offend anyone in making that point.
God Bless,

Is anyone else not seeing the image now that I have updated, or is it just my computer? The image showed up fine when I first updated it.
I’m not seeing anything.
I’ll try again. Not sure what happened.
Good picture, but wrong dimensions.
It’s fixed, but smaller. Oh, well. Still don’t understand what happened.
