I feel so unworthy to be elect. Yet I know the magnitude of Christ’s work on the cross. So if it is His will that I be elect then I will live as elect. I just pray that he may use me in a way that glorifies Him. Praise God

He got us! God is GOOD. It's not just a saying literal
Unfortunately, on Reformed Theology, the non-elect, non-chosen, mercilessly and unjustly discriminated against goat people, being rejected before the foundation of the world never stood a chance, or a hope, to be saved by the sovereign potter God.
Why are you so angry? Talk with me, maybe/definitely I can help, I had the same view as you, and I've been a christian since before the womb as far as I'm concerned, the goat versus sheep argument is one I've struggled to understand too, but I do understand it now, as much as even I may not agree with it, his will be above mine at all times, every goat can become a sheep, if you ask me, all it takes, is being humble, being spiritually in tune, and realizing that God wants the best for you, and he wants you to enjoy life, but we are not here to yolk with the worldly ways, as the video mentioned, we are basically aliens, we are here to bring the gospel to those unsaved, for if they do not receive the truth, we are not doing our job as Christians, look at it this way, Christians are one body of people, we are all different, but we are all unified, by being one people in the new testament view. Reformed theology is just that, reformed, every single bible is different, and if you ask me, I'd wager it's not about all these small things, see, we don't know what happened before "us", for all we know, the bible is a religious tool used to control us, and if so, so what? We are doing it ALL in the name of our creator, will you fall down to hell for one mistake in following him? No, will you fall down to sheol, because you are a goat? Ah, but see what is the analogies description of a goat? Here from the internet, this is a behavior of the two. (a-z-animals.com/blog/goat-vs-sheep-6-key-differences-explained/) While goats are curious, independent animals, sheep are distant and aloof in nature and have a strong flocking instinct. Described below. I have also seen goats be explained as, they wander of on they're own accord, they're seemingly naughty, or territorial, unlike the sheep, the goat is more wild, more "of the world" persay. The sheep are distant, aloof, meaning detached, you could imagine, if the whole world were christian, and they all came upon this analogy, how would most of us react? We'd become cold, detached. However, we are not rebellious, or territorial, we are simply encumbered by a lack of the truth, which is where we are wrong, we have the truth, we need only seek after,seek and you SHALL find knock and the door shall be answered. Not it will, but it shall, it's like a less intense form of will. For no matter how you feel, everything is subject to change, I could be typing this now, fall dead on my keyboard, and there be NOTHING I could say or do about it. Every breath you take, and every morning you wake, is a gift. If we are like the goats, we are like the new age christian, or for lack of my own understanding on RT, comparable like this reformed theology you speak of. Not to say it's ultimately bad, but there is no need for reform, all the knowledge we need IS THERE, we need only to seek it out, and those who do, I make this word to you on the basis of experience, you WILL find the truth, I promise you. Don't stop looking, don't stop seeking, don't stop learning, it will not be ABC, it will likely be ABCDEFG... it all depends on you and what the creator wills for you. You have to be willing in your heart to submit! Obedience, in my eyes, and I'm only 25, I'm not even independent, I live of my Father who is almost sixty, overworked, over-stressed etc: I'm still a young pup, I barely know anything, but since I was little I knew there was something more, and I knew the truth was in what I was raised on, I stand here today, I'll tell you, and I'll swear it on your life versus mine, if you humble your inner being, stand firmly, yet movable inside, and you make that first step. There will shortly be, no going back, just know who your speaking to, have respect, and be of the spirit you were designed to be!You need not feel afraid or ashamed, although natural to feel this way, as we ARE less. Like it or not, it IS* the way things are, whether you or I for that matter, and I guarantee you in whatever way I could, I have more reason to be like you than you do yourself, or at least, this is most often the case, and I do for your information, do this often, and have done it since I was a pre-teen(12*-25 now) though please, do feel open to question my perspective. You were not designed to be some peasant, or to be some wage laborer, you were meant for infinitely more than that, your spirit was not designed for you to have fear and worry. That is what the enemy* and there is a enemy, wants to use to keep us from knowing what will set us free, and every single step I make every single day, I swear it on my life, I either learn something, feel something, or do something. Sit, stand, and run, but do it all for a purpose, and if you want the purpose to be known, just fold your hands and ask. I asked for wisdom, and I was granted so much wisdom I could barely fit it all within my spirit, that's what it's like, if you had to ask me what the walk is like, right here. You could not ask for better. It's not going to be easy, but it doesn't have to be hard, the enemy wants to do as much as possible to separate our hearts from the infinite heart. It's not a game, and things are supposed to be this way, you can not go wrong with God. Every other, and I don't care who comes to me to argue bring them, Buddha is nothing, Shiva is nothing, every other God is absolutely nothing, other than Jesus and God. No other name will stand, and I will go as far as derogatorily cursing and cussing another religions icon,be they even muslim, and many will say that is blasphemy, well they don't recognize Jesus, and that's how you know Islam is a fake, or at least possibly, to ensure you go the right way, I don't care who you are, I want you to go to heaven, and you can, if I can, then damn sure as hell you can. Trust me, my rap sheet is worse.
Right off the bat he assaults the King James Bible and promotes the NIV. Matthew 2:1-2 NIV 1)"After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, During the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem. 2) and asked; "where is the one who has been born king of the Jews?" Matthew 2:1-2 KJV 1)"NOW when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, 2)Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews?" Now I want Piper to compare these two and explain to us all WHY Jesus, the only begotten Son of God is displayed as "king" and the pagan Herod is displayed as "King" in his pet version that he loves so much, while my King James authorized version recognizes and shows the difference correctly? Furthermore Jesus Christ is the Elect. Read Isaiah 42:1 KJV "BEHOLD my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth" This whole election thing has been abused for too long. The very passage that he is preaching on litetally says that God, in His forknowledge makes those who are "in Christ" partakers of His inheritance. Just like Ephesians 1 that the Calvinists misinterpret. There is no "elect" or "chosen" individuals while the rest are left with no hope. Not a single one of us are ever made righteous. It is His righteousness and His account that we enter into the presence of God by. My goodness, people need to wake up to this deception. I am not attacking Piper personally, because I believe that he truly believes what he teaches, but he has been misled into something that he will regret ever being tricked into by vain philosophers. Is he saved, I believe that he is, but does he teach the Bible correctly? I don't think so. God bless you all in the name above all names Jesus Christ.
I feel so unworthy to be elect. Yet I know the magnitude of Christ’s work on the cross. So if it is His will that I be elect then I will live as elect. I just pray that he may use me in a way that glorifies Him. Praise God

He got us! God is GOOD. It's not just a saying literal
Praise Jesus Christ 🙌
Jesus loved and chose us FIRST, so we can reciprocate our love immensely and choose him back.
thank you Lord for electing us despite that we don't deserve it, help us to love and worship you more!
❤Thank you GOD❤
Thank you John💙🙏✋Praise God Almighty
The doctrine of election makes my heart so joyous. I truly don’t understand why Arminians have such a problem with it. Can anyone explain?
Predestining the vast majority of the world to an unredeemable state is a concern no?
" chosen acording to the foreknoledge of God" were does one get determinism out of that statement?
Unfortunately, on Reformed Theology, the non-elect, non-chosen, mercilessly and unjustly discriminated against goat people, being rejected before the foundation of the world never stood a chance, or a hope, to be saved by the sovereign potter God.
Many of them suffer from religious trauma syndrome. 😪

Where in this video did John Piper say something wrong, and what is the right alternative?
This does not sound like God’s character.
Right off the bat he assaults the King James Bible and promotes the NIV.
Matthew 2:1-2 NIV
1)"After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, During the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem.
2) and asked; "where is the one who has been born king of the Jews?"
Matthew 2:1-2 KJV
1)"NOW when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
2)Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews?"
Now I want Piper to compare these two and explain to us all WHY Jesus, the only begotten Son of God is displayed as "king" and the pagan Herod is displayed as "King" in his pet version that he loves so much, while my King James authorized version recognizes and shows the difference correctly?
Furthermore Jesus Christ is the Elect. Read Isaiah 42:1 KJV
"BEHOLD my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth"
