'We Will Not Render to Caesar What Belongs to God': Why Pastor John MacArthur Won't Bow to CA Church
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.ค. 2024
- California megachurch pastor John MacArthur has taken a strong stand against the latest round of Covid-19 related regulations from the state of California and local counties who have cracked down on activities such as church gatherings. MacArthur's church, Grace Point Community Church, has met in person for several weeks now with thousands in attendance.
MacArthur sat down with CBN's Faith Nation to discuss why it's so important for the church to meet.

If we can't stand now during this petty trial, how will we stand against the world's system....it's coming!
Indeed!
That's what I said, we will have to dig in and huddle with our loved ones soon.
We all die get over it.
Dave Alexander , you know this how?
Dave Alexander , challenge get Christ, down here. Then will talk 🥰
I wish more pastors would stand up for Christ and our religious freedom the way John Macarthur does!
where was he when three times the California voters voted to protect marriage and three times it was overturned where was he?
Glory to God. Jesus Christ is Lord Amen.
So grateful that Pastor is taking a stand. Thank You
Pastor MacArthur is a great teacher.
Yeah, when this is the same John MacArthur that always taught submission in the past to government. He's attacked the American Revolution as a violation of Romans 13 and always taught submission even to Hitler and Stalin.
MacArthur has said that you can take the Mark of the Beast and get saved. That goes perfectly well with his Romans 13 teaching. He is part of the elites that will bring forth the Antichrist and the NWO.
Though I don't always see eye to eye with MacArthur, I'm with him 100% on this. Having church IS our peaceful protests!
God bless pastor John MacArthur standing up for the word of GOD
Anyone who refused will be hold accountable of the death they will cause by spreading the virus cause they believe its all lies. When health authorities have told them to do the right thing they tell others to do the wrong thing. If you love Jesus you will care for the Doctors who have laid down their lives to protect your family. If you dismiss them then you are not a Christian .
At least he recognizes that his church is only 500 years old while Christ’s church is over 2000.
this was a plandemic its like any other virus thats out there. mask dont work
Honestly the way people are packed at malls which are reopen, why can't we be in church?
We are a threat to them
@Fred Slice Yeah and in the state where I live every business and place of worship is only open to 25% capacity.
So your right that many people are getting fake news. Can't really trust any news now except CBN news.
California the home of demoncrats. Go figure
@Fred Slice I am in New Mexico.
Yeah we are neighbors sorta. Lol
@Fred Slice Yeah. Hopeful and prayerful that will continue.
Pastor John MacArthur-- you have inspired a lot of us Christians to take a brave stand for the truth. God bless you 🙏❤️
Where was he when the voters voted three times to protect marriage in California?
@@bullramis4179 it is a known fact how he publicly fought and advocated for the preservation of God -designed marriage and family unit i.e Larry King, also in his sermons. I'm sure lots of prayers as well as we Christians do.. Ultimately, God is sovereign so, no matter how it seems the world is falling apart, God holds things together.🙏🙏
Amén
Great job Pastor! Keep Shining His Light! My only disappointment is I don't see other Pastors standing up proclaiming Jesus is Lord, and church gatherings are essential! Praise God forevermore!!! Every knee shall bow to Jesus Christ our Lord!!!
Where was he when California voters voted three times to protect marriage where was he or Greg Laurie
@@bullramis4179 good question. Ask him. I don't live in CA, thank God, but beautiful state. Praying for CA!
@@bullramis4179 where were you? he has preached several times on the sanctity of marriage
Calvinism is NOT of the Lord. There are no whomsoevers with them. You were either chosen to be saved or not is their philosophy. I talked to the heads of my church is what I did
@@bullramis4179 i dont like calvinism either but at least take him on in that and not with your comments about where was he in CA when the marriage thing came up. he and other conservatives are far outnumbered in that state by left tards. dont blame him because of what they voted for in that state.
Stand firmly to our faith in the name of Jesus
No, I will not and you know he’s not real.
Azozeo wake up
Martinette Brits , just get Christ to come down, then I’ll awake.....
Martinette Brits , then again you can’t, then again here i’am . ?
Martinette Brits , no subscribers 🤔
I wish every pastor would be like Pr. John MacArthur when it’s about standing for our faith in CHIST JESUS. We’re living in the last days and either we’re are JESUS followers or we’re not.🙏
Why do you say we are in the last days ?
Because I’m a follower of JESUS CHRIST and I read and meditate in HIS word and HIS word says so. Looking around, we can see the scripture been fulfilled.🙏 Just few scriptures for us meditate: Matthew 24, 1 Thessalonians 4, Roman8: 18-39, 2 Timothy 3, 2 Peter 2 and 3, Revelation 22 Blessings to you!
Where was he when California voted three times to protect marriage and three times it was overturned where was he?
Bull Ramis I honestly don’t know. So, I can’t answer your question. But one thing I know. Let’s pray for one another and walk in mercy, compassion and love as our Father whom is in haven does all the time for us.🙏🏻❤️
He is a wonderful pastor who will be sitting at the head of the class when we go home! Thank you pastor McArthor
Angie Sparks 💯 real messenger of the Truth🙏🏻✝️
well said Pastor John. Blessings from Canada. Standing firm in the faith. Where do I send my donation to help out?
Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment.
Romans 13:1-2 ESV
datchet11 not in this matter. Daniel prayed even in the face of persecution. Shut up you foul spirit in the name of Jesus Christ
@@nwakanmavincent609 bless you in jesus Christ
Fred Slice If you like use all the vocabulary in this world or sound politically correct . It will still not give you entrance into heaven
@@datchet11 yr just a wimp... D man of God is doing the right thing...
Jesus said. "Why do you call Me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say? You're either in or you're out.
Anyone who refused will be hold accountable of the death they will cause by spreading the virus cause they believe its all lies. When health authorities have told them to do the right thing they tell others to do the wrong thing. If you love Jesus you will care for the Doctors who have laid down their lives to protect your family. If you dismiss them then you are not a Christian .
It's not just about faith and confession. You still have to immersed for the forgiveness of your sins in accordance with Mark 16:16 and Acts 2:38, which no one can refuse in accordance with Acts 10:47-48, which secures our salvation in accordance with 1 Peter 3:21
Good reminder, thanks! God bless you and yours!
There are still christ filled humans on the earth!
God bless you
Of Course. Obviously In California too. I actually live here In Southern California. Unfortunately, the overwhelming majority of Evangelical Christians don't vote and are not registered to vote. That's why California Is the way It Is right now.
This is rebellion and unchrist like.
@@datchet11 How is that?
@@ninobravoso I don't think we should be acting like this if you consider Roman's 13
Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment.
Romans 13:1-2 ESV
Amen! I stand for Jesus Christ and I proclaim that he is who I follow!! I so wish churches in MN would do the same!
@wally noname They should be close as people are mixing spreading the virus !
Closed
THANK YOU PASTOR FOR STANDING FOR OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST!!!! HES KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS!!!!!!!🙌 HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!!
Linda Glessner Amen,Amen
He hasn't he's teaching against Gods will.
Prove it!
@@thomasm1907 prove what?????
@@lindaglessner3400 your original comment that I responded to. Are you stupid?
Amen, Amen, and Amen! Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intended to bring this man's blood upon us. Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men. Acts 5:28-29
@Fred Slice I hope this is sarcasm
It's so beautiful to see fellow Christians standing strong in The Lord.
@Fred Slice its sad that people like you bow to government over reach so easily.
This is just the beginning soon no praising or worshiping our God you can go out in big crowds and destroy and raise hell loot burn down business but you can't gather in your church sing and praise God it's ok to gather and destroy but it's not ok to gather and sing and praise God how does this make sence.?
GOD BLESS THE. " GRACE TO YOU " FAMILY !
They should defy them. God bless these people
So it's okay to riot, loot, burn, terrorize, and kill but not meet to praise and worship the almighty God...These leaders hate the Lord Jesus Christ and the one's that that are called by His name that gather to worship the Lord God almighty.
AMEN 🙏
Like Jesus said, "If they hate Me, they will hate you."
Question is....
What are YOU going to do about it?
Vote Right. Vote the Left OUT! 🇺🇸 Trump 🇺🇸
Looting isn’t legal and spreading disease shouldn’t be either.
@@reallymariah894 - Hiding in the house isn't healthy either. Keep your kids germs free by sanitizing everything and them every 2 minutes makes your kid unhealthier. The KoolAid your drinking is contaminated. Is it Ok to not wear a mask while rioting? Your Liberal leaders think so. Defeats what you're saying completely.
This is the 1st time I've ever heard John McArthur speak. He seemed intelligent, logical, articulate, and respectable to me. Goooo Mr. McA!!
You should go and hear his sermons!😀
They don't want you to meet because you're praising God it's called Christian persecution
Anyone who refused will be hold accountable of the death they will cause by spreading the virus cause they believe its all lies. When health authorities have told them to do the right thing they tell others to do the wrong thing. If you love Jesus you will care for the Doctors who have laid down their lives to protect your family. If you dismiss them then you are not a Christian .
You're not being persecuted. Nobody is taking your right to worship god. You don't need a church to praise your genocidal sky daddy or to judge others because they aren't like you.
Muslims and other religions are affected by this as well. The world or the country doesn't revolve around you.
YES!! We, the followers of Christ, are INSTRUCTED to "forsake NOT the assembling of ourselves together, and even MORE SO as we see the day of our Lord approach" and THAT is EXACTLY what these satanic players are trying to put a stop to........In my opinion, this also affects what they're doing with the schools.......They don't care if a buncha kids get sick, they NEVER have, it's all about preventing the bonding that naturally occurs with children........stop'em from making friends and they'll be less likely to have a close group around them as they get older.......no confidantes, no discussions of ANYTHING goin' on behind our backs........and thus, no pushback.........EVER
Thousands of Christians are willingly staying home because they actually listen to the words of Jesus Christ instead of FAKE christian trump. Jesus said love your neighbor. When you love someone besides your precious self you want to protect them by wearing a mask and distancing as needed. Christians in America constantly degrade and condemn those who don't agree with them, they call names and spread hate then if someone objects to their little games they cry "persecution" like big baby trump who whines "nobody likes me".
Jesse Hampton the word also says those who try to save their lives will loose their lives but those willing to give their lives shall save their lives
Say it pastor!
Audrey B 💯💯💯
We'll obey God not man
Then obey God and take a look at Roman's 13
Fred Slice Dangerous virus haha. Less than one percent die from it.
Thanks for standing up for the Lord!!!!!
Wish more Churches would do the same thank you for the stand your taking for Christ .
Heard of him growing up, no big influence... but now? I’m gonna read his books for sure!! Respect
He is a wonderful teacher.
Stand strong. We have too many hirelings in our pulpits today.
The true peaceful protest!
I agree with Pastor John Mc Arthur. Jesus Christ is the Head not man!!!
Jesus is the Head of the Church. Man is the tail.
To be honest we as Christians should listen to authority. Newsom is trying to protect the health of those who goes, full capacity when California is the highest state with cases is NOT okay.
Pastor John MacArthur is the real deal.
Yes he is! 🙏🏾👏🏽
God bless Pastor MacArthur
Fred Slice Shame on you
Ooo! MacArthur is pulling up everybody's skirt!
Also love how he makes sure people know that Jesus is Lord!
He always gets that one in on Larry King's show!😆🙏
There we go Americans!to GOD the glory ,in the name of JESUS CHRIST!!!We the People
Onward Christian soldiers,
Marching as to war
With the sword of Jesus
Going on before
AMEN🛐✝️🙏👍💜
GAY!
@Stephen RunsHisMouth yes it is. I broke free of the Christian indoctrination I was exposed to as a child.
The First Amendment gives them the right to chose to assemble or not.
Bob Diaz and the second amendment is there to protects your first amendment..
@@imlame2117 i like them both
Pastor John MacArthur, A true man of God!
Praise God for those who stand in the gap on behalf of the land.
Amen we can see that this is a spiritual battle without doubt across the world not just in America
Yes .It is the Same in South Africa.
@@nicolettecoetzee7339Hello, fellow Saffa! Glad to see one from my home country with a discerning eye! 👋🏻😊💚🇿🇦
RECALL NEWSOM
Awesome man of God! Rise up church!
Praise God for John MacArthur
I'm in seminary. Thank you for being a good example
Amen !
Thank you, Pastor John. Continue to stand!
Finally McCarther woke up and smelled the roses. Better late than never!
?
God bless Pastor!!🙏🙏❤
For once I heard a pastor tell it as it is and I wouldn’t have done better myself if given the opportunity to answer these questions. Now I just wish those exact same answers would be given in secular media so the government would know how we feel. Coz I just think we dance around the issue so much and not tell it as it is. This was refreshing wish there was more out there like this pastor. Many Blessings sir GOD BLESS
God Bless you guys, we must stand strong. Pray and gather together and pray.
One has to question California's true intentions pursuing public health policy when they shutter churches, yet they allow homosexual bath houses in San Francisco to remain open for business.
So gross
I would gladly be hated for the sake of Jesus.
Mirin.
🙏🏽💯 AMEN
Amen
Fred Slice if Christianity is something to meet your selfish desires then yes John MacArthur will be fringe to you because the Gospel of Jesus Christ will bring real change to those who believe.
Fred Slice you are the disease
God bless you, Ps John! God bless your congregation ❤️ Thank CBN for the interview.
Cant wait to go to church this Sunday!!!
He is a true and real hero!
So proud of you Pastor John! Jesus said” If you deny Me before men I will deny you before My Father in Heaven”! You are taking a stand for Christianity! Praying for you! God bless you! Thank you!
Kathy Everett 💯💯💯Amen,Amen
Praise God 🙏🙏
Thank you!
Praise Jesus! ✝️🇺🇸🌎
AMEN !!
It's been a long time coming. So happy to see godly leadership and hearing sound minds speaking. ✝️
God bless .it was amazing to be there!!
All churches should do the same or they will take away or church and our Bible. It's time that we stand strong !
Praise the Lord pastor,God bless you and your church.
True. I have been very disappointed with my church. They were very timid and went online only, even after they were able to open. I have been finding churches that meet physically. That is where the real faith is.
Excellent Pastor MacArthur 🙏✝️😇Glory to our Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour and King of kings , Lord of lords !!! Thanks Pastor to be faithful to the Our God , courageous and wise for your people . God bless you !!!
Thank God!
AMEN, wonderful ... thank you Pastor John
AMEN!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Obedience is better than sacrifice...
How can people wear masks and have a proper worship service 🙌
Christabel Samuel my thing is if the government says no church then no church...obedience is better than sacrifice
The government and God who is greater? I don't mind obeying the government but if what the government is asking me to do is against my faith then I will not do it.
So, how far will you obey?
Amazing and faithful servant of God. Glory to Elohim
I am encouraged to finally see a faithful church remnant facing down the enemy.
First time hearing John was on Glenn Beck. Thanks for standing up!
It's only when it comes to church.. I went to the mall and only employees and a few others were the only ones wearing mask.
Where I'm from, almost everyone, except us defiant ones, ware their stupid mask!
This made my day ,week , month ... I loooooooooooooooooove y'all ... ✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️
Thank you Thank you Thank you
Its good that He is standing up for Jesus Christ as all chriatians should, i m yet to see gospel artist in Carlifornia like Erica Campbell and her husband Warryn who also have a church stand up and defend Jesus against this worship ban,
Onward, Christian soldiers!
Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before.
Christ, the royal Master,
Leads against the foe;
Forward into battle,
See his banners go!
[Chorus]
Onward, Christian soldiers!
Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before.
2. At the sign of triumph
Satan's host doth flee;
On, then, Christian soldiers,
On to victory.
Hell's foundations quiver
At the shout of praise;
Brothers, lift your voices,
Loud your anthems raise.
3. Like a mighty army
Moves the Church of God;
Brothers, we are treading
Where the Saints have trod.
We are not divided;
All one body we:
One in hope and doctrine,
One in charity.
4. Onward, then, ye people;
Join our happy throng.
Blend with ours your voices
In the triumph song:
Glory, laud, and honor
Unto Christ, the King.
This through countless ages
Men and angels sing.

Remember the Flu killed many,we never shut down.
chris georgallis Flu, TB, Polio, smallpox, etc. Never shut down the country. Shut down now it fits their agenda
The more they push at the body of Jesus Christ louder the children of God get.
God bless you pastor for speaking out
Well said👏👏👏
Lord he is speaking facts praise Jesus
Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment.
Romans 13:1-2 ESV
To me he's acting irrational
@datchet11, John MacArthur actually used to preach a hardcore submission message. But I too was surprised that he's turning around and changing. I'm surprised that he's now so political. In the old days, he used to oppose political activism and rebellion. Now, he's changed. .
God bless you Pastor John!🙏🙏🙏
AMEN STAND ON THE WORD OF GOD!!!
Thx John
Church is saying no to communism!
Fred Slice you are an idiot of incredible douchery
Yes We should open church but rioting is freepass
Thank you for a stand of integrity in our Christian walk
Well said.
Jesus said "give ceasor's belongings to Ceasor. " Have wisdom. Pray to the Lord Jesus Christ. REPENT REPENT AND REPENT. God bless you.
give up the 501c3... and free your membership...🙏
Stand firm, John. God is with you.
God Bless You!
Stand up for Jesus church! Love from the Philippines.
God bless this man and his congregation. God bless everyone
Praise the Lord!
He is what I call. A real man of God. God bless you Pastor John MacArthur. Thank you for your excellent example.
