Self denial is NOT the end goal of faith in Christ. It is the process through which we reach TRUE fulfillment. Self denial is to put off the worldly pursuits of fulfillment so that we can be TRULY FULFILLED IN CHRIST. This fulfillment is the Christian hedonism we seek.

I am also sick of being single as fuck. I don’t wanna be your Unick of singleness anymore. It’s bullshit. I want bae I’m tired of being alone. I’m tired of it. I don’t know where the joy is in your God. I’ve been looking for it. I’ve been here for years and I have yet to find whatever the fuck contentment or joy everybody keeps talking about, I’m tired of dying for his convenience. I’m tired of dying just cause he wants it. I’m sick of dying. That’s all I have dying. I wanna leave, but there’s nowhere to go so I’m fucking stuck with Yahweh.
I think it's misguided for a Christian to call themselves a hedonist, I understand after watching a video why your doing it but I think it sets a bad precedent
It's like Jesus saying that you have to hate your mother and father. It's a hyperbole that calls for an exceptional behavior. It shocks the ears and awakens the sleeper. It needs to offend the religious demons and Pharisees among us who substitute the truth of God's word with their traditions and call themselves holy because of their traditions.
Just because the meaning of a word has been corrupted by the world doesn’t mean we shouldn’t use it. Should we avoid using the word “love” because the world has a very different understanding of love from God’s definition of love? The word “hedonism” comes from the Greek word “hedon”, which means “pleasure”. Rather than avoiding the word/topic, we should purify our understanding of pleasure to be in line with God’s definition. “You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” - Psalm 16:11
I hate the fact that your God chooses to be slow John Piper. I hate the fact that I’m always fucking waiting around for him to feel like moving in the creation. I hate the fact that he made me finite. I hate the fact that he put me in the shit show of the world. I hate your God he’s just You love a God who chooses to send people to hell how can you love a God who chooses to give us suffering how can you love a God who chooses to allow evil to rain in this world? When is your God coming back? Is your God gonna come back as a child again cause we don’t need child Jesus we need your God to be the savior that he said that he was I fucking live down here. John Piper and I could tell you with all certainty there’s no savior. The world is a fucking shit show .
God's blessings on you for spreading this truth!

That's why he precedes it with 'Christian' to stop misunderstandings.
@HearGodsWord true but I about had a stroke reading that title with all the blasphemous so called Christian of our modern Era
