John MacArthur: Why Does God Allow So Much Suffering and Evil?

- One of the most pressing challenges to Christianity is the problem of evil. Unbelievers are quick to ask how Christians can believe in the existence of a good God in the face of so much evil. In this session, Dr. John MacArthur will examine what Scripture teaches regarding evil and suffering and why it exists in the world.
This message is from our 2008 West Coast Conference, Tough Questions Christians Face: • Tough Questions Christ...
I appreciate this sermon, I was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer with no guarantees to live, I went thru chemotherapy, radiation treatment two major surgeries, Jesus went thru far worst than this vessel, im not perfect falling short of the glory of God, I repented and now 12 years later, cancer free, I now share the Gospel to others, im praying for everyone
ISAIAH CHAPTER 38 VERSES 1-9 K.J.V. A-MAN
Why did God see fit to give you this cancer? Please do not pray for me. I neither want it or need it.

As long as you never type Moses online and learn there is absolutely zero evidence, then you are a winner. No education, eh?
My mom passed away from Covid and she got saved late in her life the last words she said to me was “do not be afraid.” That changed me and I came to Christ. ❤
If everything was Rosey. No one would turn to God. We need hard times to make us wake up
@snailmail2135🙏🙏🙏
I just lost a Step Dad. The same day I told him We love you, Jesus loves you, Jesus will take care of you. That same night he died.
Thanks, maybe my mom who's deceased spoke through you to me that everything will be ok. Tomorrow people are expecting some kinda "thing" with the phone shut down and I'm kinda believing it.
He'll turn things for good for those that love him for sure. If mom hadn't passed do you think you would've come to Christ?
I’m in awe of God everyday! Especially since He delivered me from drugs, alcohol, and even now God keeps me mentally and emotionally stable after I lost my entire family! Thank you Jesus! 🙌🏻🙋🏼♀️♥️
I use to b addicted to meth alcohol an weed an ive lost my children because i chose men over my kids. Ive lost everything too but the one thing i have thats never left me is Jesus.
Stay strong sis ✊
@Brazilian Goddess I am sorry that you choose not believe in the one and only God ,Jesus Christ , who died on the cross for your sins and has given you the gift of eternal life! I am not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ and am proud of what He has done for me! I pray you choose to ask Jesus in your heart and that your eyes be opened to the truth! Be blessed and have a great day! 😇
@@maryjanehaney6400 Keep on Keeping on sister!! It's not how we start the race but how we FINISH!! PRAISE BE TO JESUS CHRIST 🙏🙏🙏 OUR LORD AND SAVIOR!!
@Brazilian Goddess Do you believe in ABSOLUTE TRUTH?? 2+2=4 ETC ??
I went through homelessness, drug addiction and mental illness for years and years only to have it all come to me giving my life to Jesus. Now I praise God and live every day in peace from Jesus. God works all things for good for those that love him and are called according to his purpose. God speaks directly to you through the Holy Bible
Same.
Hallelujah
Until we get to the end of self - and give ourselves to Jesus - our choices are Heaven or hell

Why did Jesus wait so long to save you?
This preaching brought me tears and led me to repentance and surrender to God's sovereignty over the sudden death of my husband who was a pastor in January 17, 2022. Nothing had prepared me for it. I was angry at why God didn't heal him while in the ICU for 28 hours. I wasn't even able to say goodbye. I felt that my faith in His healing power was betrayed. I waited for 3 hours, after he was clinically declared by the doctors, in his bed for Jesus to bring back my husband's life. I got bitter when it didn't happen and I questioned His love and faithfulness. This preaching has rebuked me and I acknowledge God, in His sovereignty, allowing such death to happen. I don't know exactly on how to move on but I trust God to take care of me. Since my husband died, life as a widow became so difficult. Thank you for posting this sermon. This was 7 years ago but God is using this for me now.
Brought me to tears - of laughter. His preachings are very foolish
THANK YOU TERESA for sharing❣
Acts 11:18
When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.
Here Teresa to help you with with what you suffered from losing your husband may it minister unto you sister.
God bless Teresa, some other comments verify there is a Evil.
@@lumberjaxe8910 Mother Teresa (Agnes) was the personification of evil.
She opened ''hospitals'' but just left the sick and dying laying on the floor.
She offered no help or treatment.
She maintained their suffeing would bring them closer to God.
Meanwhile, she received millions of dollars, much of it unaccountable from tyrants and despots.
She used the money in her own teatment so that she would not suffer.
I am humbled and awed by His Mercy, Love, Grace, and Forgiveness. Thank You Jesus!
This is such bs, it's all brain washing since the day. We were born, to make you think you're going to a better life. When you're dead you're dead how do these preaching preacher know anything unless they know and they saw the lord themselves, all talking and brain washing since we were born.
We all want to believe in something like God but how do the people that' speak the so called word of God know really, they don't
Sorry but I'm so frustrated by all this, it's just no real proof, they are all talk
Makes me wonder really how do they really know
They don't, because they don't have proof of anything
I love God, because I became 90% Paraplegic at home in Scotland 68 years ago, but God brought me three people who lent me their strength and taught me to walk at the age of 4 years in two full length callipers. My Mother whose work and patience gave me a fighting spirit, and our local Highland ministers Sister, who used the laying on of hands to give me the strength to win in that ability to walk. The Orthotic engineer who built me the power in steel and leather to stand up and all those who came after them to this day. Finally God gave me a wife who would not let me stop fighting to keep going. GOD BLESS THEM ALL.
God has RICHLY BLESSED you and I sincerely pray for more blessings upon you! My strong afflicted brother, continue! Praise the Lord!

Watched this several times in an effort to memorize. What a wonderful display of God's work and answers to the toughest of questions I hear from the unconverted. It's the most go to opener for those who haven't taken the time to understand. I thank God first for helping guide me to this sermon thank you Johnny Mac for listening to God. You are truly a blessing when you do what God ordained you to do.

Watching it now, in 2023. As relevant as the day Pastor John MacArthur preached it.
So thankful for this amazingly clear sermon.
@kjrayk9869 Type Moses online and discover that there is no evidence for Exodus and Moses. Any education?
The truth will set you free!
@@lindaghirardi838 Zero proof for Exodus and Moses, yet Jesus fulfilled the Laws of Moses. Any education, Dude?
@@martinkent333 I'm confused by your reply? Are you mocking, "the truth will set you free?" Have you searched the entire Earth? Have you looked in the depths of Egypt? If God is a liar, should we only believe you? There is a way that seems right, to man, but there in lies death. If there is no God, then there is no evil and your righteousness will be sufficient for judgement - according to you. OK. If you are right, then there is no reason for good. Greater men than you have thought the same, and tried to prove the same, yet they came to the saving grace of Jesus. The depth of your knowledge is less than the thickness of a hair.
Watching this in January, 2024. Thank you Pastor John MacArthur for the very answer to this question that many people including myself have wondered about. I was crying and felt so touched by your message. May God bless you with many more years of preaching.
Recently I have been pulled from a false teaching and have found John MacArthur. This sermon answers questions that others have not been able to answer. I'm so glad we have his teachings here on YT.
So why does God need to prove so badly he’s righteous? and that he alone gets the glory and praise from his creation he calls so sinful?…sounds so narcissistic…According to McArthur God created evil but jus can’t take the blame for it😅…thats a mind field of terror alright
@@wonderlife62 that got me wondering as well. 🤔
hey hey welcome to true Christianity, I was on the same boat, i recommend John MacArthur, Voddie Baucham, Truth-unedited, and Kent Hovind creation seminars, here on TH-cam
@@jonathandrwal3656They say John Macarthur is a Calvinist.... Tho I've listened to him for 5+ years now and never detected one once of Calvinism.
Voddie Baucham has always given powerful , precise Sermons on the basics of our Christian Faith , but rejects the Rapture and everything that will be going on during those 7 years in Heaven..
Kent Hovind has fed me with an enormous amounts of Creation Evangelism . But not totally convinced He's embracing the Rapture also....
And then there's the question of "Old Earth/Gap Theory ". That He embarrassingly shames fellow Believers that ponder the possibility , who not just by curiosity , but with Scriptural Evidence.... All of them are Great Men of God... And we must except our difference's... Until we are made known the WONDERS of GOD
@edwardtelles1956 yeah for sure, John honestly just goes by the bible, and honestly I've heard that but I still don't understand what calvinism exactly is. But I'm sure it's just some sort of pointless label for a certain theological area
I love learning about my God thru the words of John MacArthur. Thank you God for choosing me as your child
God did not "choose" you. I Timothy 2:4 KJB debunks that teaching!
In my whole life, I have never heard preaching like this… ever!!! This has taken me to a deeper understanding of Gods holiness that I didn’t understand an hour ago!! Even though it would take more than all of eternity to understand his Holiness, I am one tiny step closer thanks to this Man Pastor John’s preaching!!
Thank you very kindly Pastor John, I am eternally grateful and thankful for your obedience to our Heavenly Father and Jesus for your preaching in this subject!!
God bless you Sir!!
🕊🙏🏼❤️
John MacArthur is a 'giant' and most accomplished Preacher....May God continue to bless him always...🙏👍✝️
Check out Stephen Darby ministries he’s really blessed with the holy spirit opened up my eyes in ways I can’t even begin to explain to you glory be to GOD!
Same with me..
Hes taking you one step closer to hell
Its not rocket science, if God takes away suffering he would have to destroy humanity who is the source of the suffering
I am so glad that through the Grace of God, i discovered this pastor because i feel that he preaches God's gospel they way it should be taught, not adding nor subtracting anything to the truth. He also quotes verses in the Bible to backup everything he is teaching. I truly pray that God blesses you for all your good work. I love you as God's servant. May you live long and continue to share the truth with those of us who have been misled so much that we are becoming sceptical about who to listen to nowadays. Thank you so much and God bless.
So what Church does this man come from
He come from the trueth of God church.
@@carolynkiem868 he has been the pastor at grace community church in the LA area for 50+ years
Except for his Calvinist belief. Scripture does not back that up.

Hi brothers and sisters,
I've not heard back from any of the hundred job applications I've sent these past few months, and I'm currently being evicted. I moved to the city alone in hopes of finding a future, only to not have anybody to depend on while barely making it. I've been homeless before and don't want to end up in that situation again. I'd greatly appreciate your prayers. Thank you and God bless.
I'm so sorry to hear. I'm in a similar situation. Except I cannot get a job because I have too many health issues, I'm currently waiting for a kidney and pancreas transplant. I am in hemodialysis as I type this. I'm having trouble finding a new home to move to. I'll keep you in my prayers. Please pray for me and my small family too.
I hope your situation has improved, but I will be adding you to my prayers today Lummy ♥️🙏
I'm so sorry you're going through such a difficult time. I will add you to my prayers today as well ♥️🙏
May the Lord of Hope fill you with peace as you trust in Him.
Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven!!!
Let not your heart be troubled. Believe in God. Ask and you shall receive. Seek and you will find.
Knock and the door will be opened to you.
All in Jesus’ mighty name.
Amen!

Wow this guy is amazing I have been avoiding god for a long time, I just found him today, TH-cam and Jesus must save people everyday because this is so important to have this content on here and easily accessible
Found him, how? And what was the answer to why god allows suffering, I don't wanna spend an hour watching this. Thanks.
@@colinjava8447 I will try to answer to the primary comment! I think through TH-cam he found this sermon and this sermon spoke to his heart, his inner being! That’s I believe he found God.
To answer why he allow suffering? Because we are living together with the fallen angels such Satan. Satan confuses the people in many ways and that includes suffering, he allows it to display his Glory, Power and Sovereignty! If everything is perfect to you, would you need God? Health is perfect, you are rich etc etc just perfect! And with perfect world you don’t need God who is sovereign!
If God is omniscient and omnipotent does it make sense that he spends his time worrying about what people do? Please, use your noggin.
@@colinjava8447just watch it if your desire a relationship with God. What else are you gonna watch? More Family Guy?
@@davidschneider6306
What is man that Thou art mindful of him?
For God so loved the world that He gave us His only begotten Son that whosoever believed on Him should not perish but should have eternal life.

wills for His creation

he is worth $14 million.....with jesus telling the rich man to give all his money away what do you imagine jesus will say to him when he leaves this mortal coil??....or do you think the story in the bible is not true?/
probably my most favorite sermon from any preacher ever, great topic, great biblical answers, leaving no room for argument. i've re-watched many times. God bless you all!
There aren’t many who can/will articulate such a difficult and loaded question. He also leaves room for us to ponder this great question without leaving us feeling assaulted by prideful arrogance. “The Spirit searches all things, yeah the deep things of God.”
Yes, there is a reason. Everything has to do with karmic retribution. Death does not hurt, life does. We are here to suffer to redeem ourselves for the sins of our past lives. Jesus and Buddha both informed us of reincarnation but in the case of Jesus, the R. C Church removed any mention of reincarnation in the fourth century, that's all folks.
Death doesn’t hurt? Tell that to the guy who lays in bed for 3 days with 3rd degree burns and then dies. There is no mention of reincarnation in any of the scriptures that were effectual 4000 years before the Catholic Church ever existed. Yes, the RCC is a false church, but it hasn’t suppressed any reincarnation scriptures. The scriptures are the only reliable source of God’s truth. There is no nirvana and no reincarnation.
its not difficult, I obey you if you obey Gods Laws. Its reciprocal.
He can say what he likes there is no god.
Saying, “there is no God” doesn’t make Him any less angry with you. It might make you feel better, but it’s like putting a bandaid on a wart, you can cover it up but it doesn’t fix the problem. “God is angry with the wicked every day”
Watched this again yesterday. I'd watched it years ago, and it makes so much sense. The late Dr. Sproul would say that on this side of eternity, we'll never understand these things fully, but when we see the culmination of God's plan for His glory in eternity, we'll 100% understand and know that it couldn't have been any other way. Wow.
Study History and some original scripture which is in Hebrew. Where is the Way, Truth and Life? Well in messiah and His true name is YAHUSHA the Ha Mashiach. Names don't change in Language. Spelling does because it's a different language, but pronouncing does not change. Research the origins of the name ''Jesus'' and see how it is ''Jee Zeus'' the sky and thunder god in ancient Greek as well as ''earth pig'' in Latin. Research what ''Lord'' means and ''God'' as well. Why in the KJV is there ''Name of the LORD'' all over the place when ''LORD'' is not a name? Why is there ''LORD'' in caps and ''lord'' in lowercase? Because KJ took His name out. Research that and Pray for understanding. Messiah walked the earth as a dark skinned Hebrew man ''Yahusha'' not a white man named Jesus. The Scriptures have been watered down much over the years by the enemy who is the god of this world, satan and he knows the Scriptures better than anyone except the Almighty YAHUAH Himself. Many books have been taken out as well. Salvation is in the blood of Yahusha who is YAHUAH in the flesh. YAHUAH is the Name of the Almighty and His Name is very important just as the Scripture speaks. Those few truly born again obey the Torah just as messiah spoke and are not in religion. Those two plus billion christians can't fully obey it because they are just in religion and not filled with the true Ruach (Spirit) of Elohiym Almighty. Christianity is Truth mixed with lies. Many are called and FEW are chosen. Fear and Obey YAHUAH the Almighty whose name is written in mankinds DNA and History and Original Text.

4/10/2023: WOWOWOWOW!😱😱😱😱😱. How EXCELLENT is this sermon. Saved it to listen again and again!!!
I need prayer. Fervent prayer. I’m currently battling a health issue. I know 100% God is able and willing to heal. Jesus already paid the price. I’m not seeing results for a reason. I don’t know God’s plan. When you’re in the crusher, it’s really hard to see beyond where you’re at.
Praying for an Answer! I also am waiting for discernment.
I do pray you are much better now, one year after this post. Seeing I'm in this place now, I am looking forward to being out of this abyss. God is good. He is kind. He is merciful. That we are still alive after all one has gone through these many years, all the sickness and pain, shame and darkness, shows He cares. He won't leave us in it. We will pass through not remain in.
Thank you Pastor MacArthur for your answers to this very question. Please pray for my sister in-law who has cancer and is struggling with why God has done this to her. Please pray for Him to heal her body and soul. God Bless you all!

@@marcusbuckner5582 Thank you so much Marcus. God Bless you!
And I feel sorry for you. John is a Calvinist who makes you doubt about your salvation Jesus promised. Anything that makes you doubt your salvation comes from evil itself. Read your Bible and do not rely on anyone’s interpretation. This is how many people fall into Jehova’s witness and many other cults who comes to you in God’s name but lead you to hell.
@@Faith0929ROK Please don't feel sorry for me, I know God and what Jesus did for me and that will never be taken away. Even from evil people. Lately, my faith has been stronger than ever! God Bless you Faith for caring enough to tell me this.
God has not done this to her, MEN did this to her, with their claims of what is natural for us to consume, and her belief in what a human with a white coat tells her to eat, instead of learning from God\Mother nature themselves. to be more specific: stop cooking your food and start eating raw animal products, cancer is a mutation in your body that eats sugar and needs no air, fibre carbs and sugars are all sugars, stop eating men made poison and men made plants, mother nature tells you that, you're an apex-predator, start acting like one.
I am humbled and astounded at the majesty, greatness, holiness, righteousness and sovereignty of the one true and everlasting Almighty God!
MD M amen! 🙏🏻
God is a selfish, self serving, immoral being. He will kill for the most tenuous of reasons. You assert that he is everlasting but you do not know that. He may die before the end of time.
Amen.
God created time and is therefore outside of time.
@@RepentTherefore God did not create time - it does not actually exist, it is a man made concept. If you were to ask God the time where you are now, there could be only one response which is accurate, therefore God must be bound by time.
Time is nothing more than the observation of change - therefore God could not create it - it is not a thing.
Diagnosed with cancer in October, been doing chemo and my tumor grew instead of shrunk. I'm so hurt mentally and spiritually, I was baptized yesterday and putting all my faith in God to shrink my tumor....

God bless you and keep you.
The fact is that you do have cancer but the truth is Jesus is willing to heal you, so i stan on his stripes that he received on his back so in the authority of Jesus blood cancer get come out and be cast out back to the abis in Jesus Name.
Thank u
THE TRUTH ABOUT LIFE AS TOLD BY YESHAYA BEN JOSEPH(jesus), WHO STUDIED, PONDERED, MEDITATED UPON, AND ULTIMATELY COMMUNED WITH THE KINGDOM OF GOD THAT EXISTS WITHIN HIMSELF, AS WELL AS EVERY LAST ONE OF US.....
God is OMNIPRESENT, OMNIPOTENT, OMNISCIENT, INFINITE CONSCIOUSNESS(SPIRIT), not a personal god that gives or witholds, rewards or punishes!
CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS/BUDDHA MIND/UNIVERSAL MIND is the CONSCIOUS ACTIVITY OF GOD in Our Affairs.....!!
Therefore, "A True Christian.....A Christ One......is he who frees his soul from the consciousness of the body/mind and unites it with the Christ Intelligence(God) Pervading all Creation..
Jesus speaking AS Christ Consciousness told us this, but without Spiritual Discernment, the true message is seen through the eyes of the Illusory Human Intellect(SATAN/ERROR) that created God in his image through religious dogma and idol worship(worshipping jesus the human man)...(We can't serve two masters, we either serve the illusory sense of separation from Omnipresent, Infinite Consciousness that causes dualistic the beliefs in good and evil, or we serve the only Power that Exists, Omnipresent, Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnidimensional, Infinite Consciousness)
"I Have Overcome the World"
-Christ Consciousness
The above words Spiritually/Mystically/Truthfully Discerned would be as such:
I Have Overcome the Illusory Sense of the Separate Self(the human mind and body of jesus) ....
Jesus the human man was no different than any one of us, as he had gone through all the things we've gone through, but he learned Spiritual Discernment and Truth while learning about, pondering upon, meditating upon, and then communing with the One Infinite Source that is Omnipresent, Infinite Consciousness, or as he called it: The Father(The Kingdom of Heaven Within). This is the same for Moses, Buddha, Lao Tzu, Shankara and many other Spiritually Illumined Beings throughout the ages.
They all RECOGNIZED It's the Activity of Truth in Our Consciousness that Performs Our Miracles, that Leads Our Lives....
So, until we stop relying on the illusory human state of mind(Satan) we can't leave the old and come into the new...that being Christ Consciousness(or Infinite/God Consciousness)
Christ revealed that the ONLY TRAITOR in our midst is the illusory human nature(Satan). So we must learn to die every day to our reliance on the human mind, and listen in the one and only place where you may hear the Divine.....In Silence!(Meditation on the One and Only Power...Omnipresent, Infinite Spirit, or God)
The word of the father is in the kingdom of God(Inner Spirit), not in the illusory realm of Matter/Materialism. This means it isn't in a book or in a church.....
Nothing of the illusory realm of matter is of God, as God is Omnipresent, Omnipotent, Omniscient, Infinite Consciousness, or SPIRIT ONLY!!
"Of mine own self(illusory sense of self) I can do nothing. It is the Father(Omnipresent Consciousness) that doeth the work".
Nothing of this illusory realm of existence matters to God, as God only knows that of itself, and illusion and mesmerism are not of God, so no, God Consciousness doesn't know us as an illusory human being even exists, so our car payments, illnesses, troubles, failures and woes do not matter at all.
There's no greater horror than to leave one's mind to the dualistic, carnal nature of this illusory world. When Christ Consciousness through Jesus spoke of SATAN, he was speaking of the Human Carnal Mind, and it's world of mental illusions and mesmeric beliefs. It's illnesses, cares, worries, lies, beliefs, and so on....
We must let the Splendor of God Consciousness to Pour Forth and Live It as Jesus did once he Recognized the Truth that the Father/God is Omnipresent, Infinite Consciousness!!
The presence of God Consciousness in me is the presence of God Consciousness in you....
The recognition of God in us helps us to ultimately recognize the same in all things. And the recognition of God in my enemy ultimately makes my enemy my ally....
The function of Christ Consciousness that Unfolded from the Consciousness of Yeshaya(jesus) is to relieve us of the belief of Two powers(good and evil), and to recognize that Life is not created, Life unfolds. This means that God is always the same. The same yesterday as today and tomorrow.....God Unfolds, God Does Not Create!! Perfection needs to create nothing!!
There isn't God AND Man.....There is Only God AS Man. Because of this dualistic belief we pray the way we do, i.e. asking for things, healings, etc. With the realization we are God experiencing awareness AS each and every one of us, we will come to understand that there is nothing or nobody to ask anything of or for.
"The Kingdom of God is spread out all over the world, men just don't see it...."
Supply, Sufficiency, Health, Love, all things of God are right where we stand. Our prayers should only be the recognition that we embody these truths. Asking God for anything, regardless of what it is, is sitting directly in the middle of the Two Powers of the illusory mind of man.
So we must sit in silence listening for the still small voice of God to make itself known, and then we must free it from its prison of our human beliefs in order for it to escape and be Christ AS Each One of us!!
Psalm 23....The Prayer of IS, to the mind with Spiritual Discernment(the only way to understand the Bible) says....(I DONT HAVE TO ASK GOD FOR ANYTHING, BECAUSE HE/I IS ALL. I NEED NOT BEG AND PLEAD FOR THE MERCY OR THE GRACE OF GOD BECAUSE THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS WHERE I STAND). Acknowledge God in all ways. Acknowledge that God is ALWAYS HERE, whether I make my bed in hell(living in the illusory materialistic mind) or I dwell in Heaven(living as Christ Consciousness), God will never leave me nor forsake me....
God is manifest as the very life of our being....God Already IS, and our prayers should indicate this!! There's no pleading to God. Prayer should only be a declaration of God's Omnipresent, Omnipotent, Omniscient, Infinite Self.....! Our True Spiritual Self!!
If we keep this in our thoughts at all times, this word of truth which is alive in each of us, it will externalize itself as our health, our supply, our home, our friends, our love for all others as ourselves, etc, etc....
What a blessing to hear a balanced & deeply passionate teaching on evil and suffering that I know of from one of the most respected expositional preachers on TH-cam!

They know. Not ŵhat. They do!!!!!
First time watching this Pastor and as a 72 years old evangelical/charismatic Christian not only was I blessed to hear sound doctrine, great examples in teaching and informing his flock of the dangers of false doctrine; but I LOVE his sense of humor, which confirms that "the joy of the Lord is our strength!" And an added note: " God takes o pleasure in the death of the wicked."(Ezekiel 18:23) Well done, my brother and thank you, sir! 💞🌹🙋
Your joy is not of the Lord smh
Suffering and evil, comes from the sin of man and this is allowed by God to bring man back to Him.Thank you God for your love,grace,mercy and forgiveness.
This the Gospel below:
✨
🔴1 Corinthians 15:1-4 Kjv 1611
"1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, HOW that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was BURIED, and that he ROSE again the third day according to the scriptures:”
What’s the answer to that how in verse 3? ^
See below
🟡Romans 3:24-25 kjv 1611
"24 Being justified freely by his GRACE through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation THROUGH FAITH IN HIS BLOOD, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;"
Bonus scripture to under fully the gospel above
🟢Romans 5:11 kjv 1611
See my “Get Saved‼️” highlight for more on why this is the only way to be saved during the church age ASAP!
Verse 3 says VAIN but what does that mean? Here’s a definition:
“VAIN is the force of man.
3. Proud of petty things, or of trifling attainments; elated with a high opinion of one's own accomplishments, or with things more showy than valuable; conceited.”
Children dying and that will die of terminal cancer is from the sin of man? 🤔
@@rivierror1251 Yes the sin of man, God created Adam and his partner Eve.He created them perfect and sinless.It wasn't until they both disobeyed God,listening to Satan and ate from the tree of knowledge and there is were sin began.It has grown and grown ever since.Yes God has the power to heal all.If a child dies from cancer,or anything else for that matter they are in heaven,suffering no more.With a perfect new body worshipping the Lord God Almighty. Praise God
Ppppp
God made man to sin. According to the Bible story in Genesis there is no way possible that it could be humans fault for anything. Humans didn't create themselves. Religion is really stupid. It has been really effective at mind control I'll give it that. Oh and any being that would create a place like Hell to punish for all eternity is the real monster.
Thank you Jesus for people like John MacArthur that preach the good news without sugar coating it.

This is true about Mormonism. I was a born and raised Mormon. Thank God for revealing the Truth to me and pulling me out of that pit.
What is the premise of Mormonism?
I prefer to call myself a latter day saint, so far this pastor is preaching appears to be so elementary, he is so focused on fault finding techniques instead of expounding the good news (gospel) the love of God for mankind,
@@rickbrickles1410 The premise of the latter-day Saint faith is that God’s purpose is to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man and there in is his eternal work and his glory. This God did through his only begotten Son, Jesus Christ.
And Latter day saints are not Calvinists
I feel we shouldn't criticize other Christians, lets critisize, Murderers, rapists, pedos, tortueres, and corrupt evil doers in the position of power.
This is the only Pain I'll ever know then to be with God as he wipes my tears from my eyes and gives me a kiss of everlasting kindness and a piece of the bread of life and tall glass of living water and a thick slice of everlasting joy in front of my enemies I didn't even know I had cause my eyes were on him for my salvation...yours very truly Alfonso Cantu USMC
Good message. So many hurting people. Depression is on the rise. I have been thru it. It’s tough but God is bigger!
I'm praying 🙏 for you as I read your message. May the Lord protect and bless you. 🙌
Depression... is just a choice. YOU ‘choose life or death’, YOUR mind must be renewed (Rom12:2, 2Cor10:4,5, 11:3).
God 'limited' Himself, Ps78:41. About ‘sovereignty’, the worst religious doctrine⁉️
Often religion mixes the Old and the New Covenant (or, ‘Testament’) and encourages performance (change from the outside in!) instead of grace through faith, and has done much harm in history. But maybe the biggest heresy of religion, which is preached possibly in 99% of the churches, is the wrong concept of ‘sovereigty’. God (in the NT) is not the source of evil, sickness, tsunamies, drugsabuse, etc!
He also does not “allow” this to “educate” you. LIES of hell! God is only good ✝️❤️
“I believe this is the worst doctrine that is working in the Body of Christ today”
that completely negates the trust that 'God is a good God', Andrew Wommack.
If you believe that God made you sick, why would you go to the doctor,
to get rid of sickness, trying to get out of God’s will?
Jesus said, ‘You hypocrites... you are if you think and do these things’, Mark 7.
Well okay, don't try medicine; let sickness abound in you! God 'gave it to you' (?),
teach you a lesson'(?), 'God must have a purpose with my sickness(?).
What a shame for God when you listen to the accuser, and think you have no responsibility now.

John MacArthur is a phenomenal preacher and should be placed alongside the great preachers like Charles Spurgeon, John Wesley and John Knox. Keep preaching Gods Holy Word with authority and clarity. Praise be the glory of God in the highest!!
Never cared for any of them. Jesus Christ is my Personal Teacher, and the littlest things He has taught me are so far beyond all the carnally minded bullshit of your "heroes" there is only contrast, no comparison whatsoever. The only thing this guy does is show me just how damned foolish men have become over the years. They really think they are so educated and smart, but they are so damned DULL it amazes me. Truly God has sent strong delusion to all these people you think are "great teachers" and to you also. I am in awe of how greatly and effectively God's delusion sent to you people make you look so stupid that you cannot even count to three! And yet, just as this arrogant ass believes he is man of God, he is nothing but a deceived and deluded liar deceiving and deluding all of you people who think he is so great.
Not to bust your bubble do you know what the bible says concerning his minister. And how they maybe identified or are you emotional. Because until you really get into the word of the creator and apply his laws statutes and ordinances i promise you in the name given above all other names you will never recognise truth therefore you will never be able to see the man you praise for who he is a lier.

@The Doobie Sisters & Sack Blabbath true but it the holy spirit that let him even be able to preach
Listening to this in the middle of the night trying to deal with all the evil attacking me back to back for over 2 years. When I think things settling down here comes another totally unexpected abuse and chaos caused by an individual attacking me in different arenas. Attacks totally unexpected or warranted. This sermon helps me to remember we do not fight against flesh and blood when I lean toward self blame
5 years after this message was posted. It is still more relevant than ever. May people of the world wake up to the Glory of God in this dark time. May God bring conviction to the hearts of all the moral evil in high places and the dark valleys of the inner cities. May he bring order to the chaos erupting around the world. May God bring hope to families that is suffering during this worldwide pandemic. May His glory be revealed and his will be done! We ask this in the Glorious name of Jesus.

It may be that I refer them to this as someone did for me.! ✝🙌🏻
May God bless and empower you. This is, as Jesus said, a "hard word."
I will tell you the real truth why theres so much suffering.
You will notice in Genesis there are two different accounts of creation. Genesis 1:26, 27 reads "Then God said, “Let US make human beings in OUR image, to be like US. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth, and the small animals that scurry along the ground.”
27 So God created human beings in his (their) own image. In the image of God he (they) created them; MALE and FEMALE he (they) created them."
Notice here these verses speak of two initial Gods as in 'US' and 'OUR', and they created humans in their image male and female. This gives us a good indication there was initially a male God entity and a feminine God entity. The male God entity turned rebellious in heaven desiring exclusive devotion and became extremely jealous of his feminine counterpart. So at this point he was cast out of heaven taking ⅓ of the heavenly spirit beings or angel's with him who sided with him. These angel's became demons. (Rev 12:9)
In Genesis chptr 2:4 we read the second account of creation where this rebellious God begins his own creation independent from his feminine counterpart. He created Adam out of dust because unlike the true God who can create from nothing, he needed human DNA or blueprint that was present in the soil. Then he used one of Adam's ribs to create Eve. This God whom we read in the Hebrew scriptures as Jehovah/Yahweh/LORD is Satan the devil. He turned rebellious in heaven and became Satan.
Once Adam and Eve broke his commandment not to eat from the tree of knowledge knowing good and bad, sin was introduced into the human race. Now they among all the Israelites that followed thereafter were required to sacrifice their firstborn males both human and animal for the atonement of their sins.
Exodus 13:2 "Then the LORD said to Moses,
2 “Dedicate to me every firstborn among the Israelites. The first offspring to be born, of both humans and animals, belongs to me.”
Exodus 34:19, 20 "The firstborn of every animal belongs to me, including the firstborn males from your herds of cattle and your flocks of sheep and goats.
20 A firstborn donkey may be bought back from the LORD by presenting a lamb or young goat in its place. But if you do not buy it back, you must break its neck. However, you must buy back every firstborn son. “No one may appear before me without an offering."
Jesus was the firstborn from the true God, the feminine God entity. He was also a Jew, so he became Jehovah/LORD/Yahweh/Satans ultimate human blood sacrifice.
He being the cunning jealous and devious God that he is, he exploited Jesus death, claiming him as his dearly beloved son and had this account written in the bible as the one who died for all of humanities sins. This is in fact a lie as it was Satan who invented sin and it was Satan who saw to Jesus's crucifixion, as he wanted Jesus dead as he would be a threat to his sovereignty.
John 8:44 "For you are the children of your father the devil, and you love to do the evil things he does. He was a murderer from the beginning. He has always hated the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies."
In the bible we read of Jesus as seen to be praying to his Father. Again this is another lie that Jehovah/LORD/Yahweh/Satan had inspired men to pen, so as humans would be deceived into worshipping him as the true God. Jesus actually addressed his prayers to his beautiful, loving heavenly Mother who has been deliberately omitted out of all accounts of the bible so as Jehovah/LORD /Satan gets all the glorification bestowed upon himself. This is why there is so much evil in the world because Satan who is the ruler of the world has caused it all.
2 Corinthians 4:4 "Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe...."
Psalms 83:18 "Then they will learn that you alone are called the LORD, that you alone are the Most High, supreme over all the earth."
The true God has no name, She is simply identified as ,"God'. She does not need to prove herself to anyone as she is certain of Her attributes and her LOVE of all her creation. You will read a little about this true feminine God in Rev 12:1-5 known as the Woman who gave birth to her Son....Jesus.

@@utube1818 God didn't "give your mates daughter leukemia, yet He's right there. Sin affects all of us in a negative way, but scripture says this: Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praise. Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick. That is what we're supposed to do in times of need and always. Point is that we are ALL sons of Adam meaning we have in us the consequences of the fall. This is why we must be born again. Read John Chapter 3.

Thank you for standing strong in the face of so much cultural opposition and continuing to preach the true gospel. May we all pattern ourselves after your dedication to the Word.
THE TRUTH ABOUT LIFE AS TOLD BY YESHAYA BEN JOSEPH(jesus), WHO STUDIED, PONDERED, MEDITATED UPON, AND ULTIMATELY COMMUNED WITH THE KINGDOM OF GOD THAT EXISTS WITHIN HIMSELF, AS WELL AS EVERY LAST ONE OF US.....
God is OMNIPRESENT, OMNIPOTENT, OMNISCIENT, INFINITE CONSCIOUSNESS(SPIRIT), not a personal god that gives or witholds, rewards or punishes!
CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS/BUDDHA MIND/UNIVERSAL MIND is the CONSCIOUS ACTIVITY OF GOD in Our Affairs.....!!
Therefore, "A True Christian.....A Christ One......is he who frees his soul from the consciousness of the body/mind and unites it with the Christ Intelligence(God) Pervading all Creation..
Jesus speaking AS Christ Consciousness told us this, but without Spiritual Discernment, the true message is seen through the eyes of the Illusory Human Intellect(SATAN/ERROR) that created God in his image through religious dogma and idol worship(worshipping jesus the human man)...(We can't serve two masters, we either serve the illusory sense of separation from Omnipresent, Infinite Consciousness that causes dualistic the beliefs in good and evil, or we serve the only Power that Exists, Omnipresent, Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnidimensional, Infinite Consciousness)
"I Have Overcome the World"
-Christ Consciousness
The above words Spiritually/Mystically/Truthfully Discerned would be as such:
I Have Overcome the Illusory Sense of the Separate Self(the human mind and body of jesus) ....
Jesus the human man was no different than any one of us, as he had gone through all the things we've gone through, but he learned Spiritual Discernment and Truth while learning about, pondering upon, meditating upon, and then communing with the One Infinite Source that is Omnipresent, Infinite Consciousness, or as he called it: The Father(The Kingdom of Heaven Within). This is the same for Moses, Buddha, Lao Tzu, Shankara and many other Spiritually Illumined Beings throughout the ages.
They all RECOGNIZED It's the Activity of Truth in Our Consciousness that Performs Our Miracles, that Leads Our Lives....
So, until we stop relying on the illusory human state of mind(Satan) we can't leave the old and come into the new...that being Christ Consciousness(or Infinite/God Consciousness)
Christ revealed that the ONLY TRAITOR in our midst is the illusory human nature(Satan). So we must learn to die every day to our reliance on the human mind, and listen in the one and only place where you may hear the Divine.....In Silence!(Meditation on the One and Only Power...Omnipresent, Infinite Spirit, or God)
The word of the father is in the kingdom of God(Inner Spirit), not in the illusory realm of Matter/Materialism. This means it isn't in a book or in a church.....
Nothing of the illusory realm of matter is of God, as God is Omnipresent, Omnipotent, Omniscient, Infinite Consciousness, or SPIRIT ONLY!!
"Of mine own self(illusory sense of self) I can do nothing. It is the Father(Omnipresent Consciousness) that doeth the work".
Nothing of this illusory realm of existence matters to God, as God only knows that of itself, and illusion and mesmerism are not of God, so no, God Consciousness doesn't know us as an illusory human being even exists, so our car payments, illnesses, troubles, failures and woes do not matter at all.
There's no greater horror than to leave one's mind to the dualistic, carnal nature of this illusory world. When Christ Consciousness through Jesus spoke of SATAN, he was speaking of the Human Carnal Mind, and it's world of mental illusions and mesmeric beliefs. It's illnesses, cares, worries, lies, beliefs, and so on....
We must let the Splendor of God Consciousness to Pour Forth and Live It as Jesus did once he Recognized the Truth that the Father/God is Omnipresent, Infinite Consciousness!!
The presence of God Consciousness in me is the presence of God Consciousness in you....
The recognition of God in us helps us to ultimately recognize the same in all things. And the recognition of God in my enemy ultimately makes my enemy my ally....
The function of Christ Consciousness that Unfolded from the Consciousness of Yeshaya(jesus) is to relieve us of the belief of Two powers(good and evil), and to recognize that Life is not created, Life unfolds. This means that God is always the same. The same yesterday as today and tomorrow.....God Unfolds, God Does Not Create!! Perfection needs to create nothing!!
There isn't God AND Man.....There is Only God AS Man. Because of this dualistic belief we pray the way we do, i.e. asking for things, healings, etc. With the realization we are God experiencing awareness AS each and every one of us, we will come to understand that there is nothing or nobody to ask anything of or for.
"The Kingdom of God is spread out all over the world, men just don't see it...."
Supply, Sufficiency, Health, Love, all things of God are right where we stand. Our prayers should only be the recognition that we embody these truths. Asking God for anything, regardless of what it is, is sitting directly in the middle of the Two Powers of the illusory mind of man.
So we must sit in silence listening for the still small voice of God to make itself known, and then we must free it from its prison of our human beliefs in order for it to escape and be Christ AS Each One of us!!
Psalm 23....The Prayer of IS, to the mind with Spiritual Discernment(the only way to understand the Bible) says....(I DONT HAVE TO ASK GOD FOR ANYTHING, BECAUSE HE/I IS ALL. I NEED NOT BEG AND PLEAD FOR THE MERCY OR THE GRACE OF GOD BECAUSE THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS WHERE I STAND). Acknowledge God in all ways. Acknowledge that God is ALWAYS HERE, whether I make my bed in hell(living in the illusory materialistic mind) or I dwell in Heaven(living as Christ Consciousness), God will never leave me nor forsake me....
God is manifest as the very life of our being....God Already IS, and our prayers should indicate this!! There's no pleading to God. Prayer should only be a declaration of God's Omnipresent, Omnipotent, Omniscient, Infinite Self.....! Our True Spiritual Self!!
If we keep this in our thoughts at all times, this word of truth which is alive in each of us, it will externalize itself as our health, our supply, our home, our friends, our love for all others as ourselves, etc, etc....
John MacArthur is the world's foremost expositional teacher on scriptures. His knowledge and revelation of scripture is incredible. What a blessing ... always scripturally rich.
What a wonderfull Video. The first time someone really gave an Answer to one of the most difficult questions for non Christians and Christians. An Answer which we can rejoice in. All glory to the almighty God of Scripture and to Jesus Christ our Savior and Hero 🙏🏽♥
Perfect sermon for what we are going through now with this virus. John MacArthur. He is not afraid to preach the true Word of God. I have listened to everything he has taught that is available to me on the internet. He’s the greatest.
Thank God this Virus (COVID19) is Nowhere NEAR the virus John is Talking about.

The world 🌎 is hard place to lived especially without God . Nice smiles on your face beautiful
Wow. It’s now Oct 2022 this was so powerful it brought me to tears… struggling with current events I searched out this question. Boy did I get it answered, praise Him Most High Amen!
Sorry but you have not found the truth . This man does not preach but a very watered down gospel message at best. Sadly that is very much a common message these days. Jesus provided so much more then this man declares in preaches. Jesus made healing very easy to receive when one understands the laws governing faith. Laws like gravity. Saved or not if you violate that law both will get the same result. If you are not seeking God with all your heart your most likely not going to find him. Their are only a few ministries I know of that really make available teaching that will correctly guide people to a full understanding of Gods word.
god let's 5 year old children die of cancer
Romans 1:18-32
@@burtcooper612 those verses are proof that gentiles even though they did not have the laws were guilty before God then Paul proceeds to prove to the Jews that because they have the law are even more guilty then gentiles. Paul is essentially proving that Jews and gentiles are in the exact same boat and need a savior. Most Jews at that time and even today many people believe that keeping the law will save you.
God = good. Devil = evil.
Surely if there is God = good; there's the devil = evil! If there's no evil, there will be no need for our sovereign Lord to reveal His glory! There's a specific time for God's reign to take over & only He knows when that time will be. This is SO good & very DEEP! Thank you! 🔥🔥🔥
Sorry, that is just a cop out. An all-power, omniscient God could squash out evil in a second.
I praise the Lord for John MacArthur. I pray God keeps him healthy and in the pulpit, and gives him the full 120 years on this earth.
He is a wonderful gift from God.
God I'm a sinner and i want to be save having Jesus in my heart.
There is always the yin and yang to balance the power of forces of the Universe. But God created us to overcome evil if we are confronted with. We know from our own personal experiences that this is possible if we trust fully in God and remain faithful to Him and accept that ultimately He can help us. PTL. Men is driven by lust which is sin and death. This goes back to the creation of heaven and earth. When Finally God has to sacrifice His Son, Jesus, to save those want to return to God and praise Him always. Help me Lord to understand and place ourselves in Thy care. With our return to praise Thee, Evil will retreat to darkness and the depth of abbey so tha You God will control everything again. T Q the Eternal Lord and God and Spirit, You are totally in charge again. Amen.
Forgive us Lord!!!
Repent, Confess, and Believe in the finished work of our Lord Jesus Christ, his dying on the Cross for the sins of the world. And then you STOP sinning and walk in newness like Christ Jesus. And tell everyone that asks you for a reason for your Joy. You can then tell them God has made a way for us to come before him without our sin attached to us through the sacrifice of our Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
@Jacob Mcbride AMEN GOD Bless you.
God bless you brother, accept Jesus in your life and blessings will come!
Thank you for addressing Christian Science. I was raised in that religion from birth. I knew at a young age that there was something very wrong with their teachings. I begged my parents not to send me to Sunday school. You couldn’t at the time attend church until you were 21. When I was exposed to Christianity I had the hardest time believing that I was a sinner in need of a Savior. Thank God I had a Christian boss who spent most of our time at work that day talking about the truth. I wish now I would have known when my grandparents were alive.
Thank God he has saved you from such a sect and their lies from the pit if he'll. Have you watched Leah Remini's documentary of Netflix? 🤔
She's unmasking scientology 😁
I was raised in Religious Science after my mother switched from Christian Science. It all sounds nice and friendly and inclusive. They talk about the teacher Jesus, but it is all false teaching. Most of my family is still in it, but praise God I have know Jesus as savior for 26 years now.
@@LilyOlea777 God bless 🙏
Same. I was really trained in c.s. I had a hard time coming out of the core beliefs even after I intellectually rejected them. The gospel made perfect sense to me but the day I believed there was evil in the world I physically shook all night from fear. Of course in cs if you believe in evil it is empowered. But Jesus led me out of confusion step by step.

It is obvious that we are living in probably the last days or so, because I've never seen so many false prophets and false teachings, I thank God for brother MacArthur and his advise to take advantage of this good sermon of his, we need preachers like him, who gets the truth straight down to us without detours, Praise God!! Joe.
He is not teaching the Bible "rightly divided" according to God's instruction in 2 Timothy 2:15 KJB. He is keeping men bound under the law when we are not under the law but GRACE (Romans 6:14 KJB). God's grace is currently what's reigning (Romans 5:21 KJB). Hallelujah!
Awesome command of the scriptures pastor John. Thank you so much for opening my eyes to a much , much larger God. He is beyond my little pea brain to fully grasp but gives more than enough for me to follow and obey him! Praise the one true and only God!
@Edward Elliott God invites you to read the Holy Scriptures written by God and not man. Psalms 118:8 KJV
BEWARE!! John McArthur is a dangerous false teacher!! He is a 5-point Calvinist!! Calvinism is straight from the pit of HELL!! Please watch the sermon by Biblically sound Pastor Ralph Yankee Arnold on the 5 dangers of Calvinism!!
Study History and some original scripture which is in Hebrew. Where is the Way, Truth and Life? Well in messiah and His true name is YAHUSHA the Ha Mashiach. Names don't change in Language. Spelling does because it's a different language, but pronouncing does not change. Research the origins of the name ''Jesus'' and see how it is ''Jee Zeus'' the sky and thunder god in ancient Greek as well as ''earth pig'' in Latin. Research what ''Lord'' means and ''God'' as well. Why in the KJV is there ''Name of the LORD'' all over the place when ''LORD'' is not a name? Why is there ''LORD'' in caps and ''lord'' in lowercase? Because KJ took His name out. Research that and Pray for understanding. Messiah walked the earth as a dark skinned Hebrew man ''Yahusha'' not a white man named Jesus. The Scriptures have been watered down much over the years by the enemy who is the god of this world, satan and he knows the Scriptures better than anyone except the Almighty YAHUAH Himself. Many books have been taken out as well. Salvation is in the blood of Yahusha who is YAHUAH in the flesh. YAHUAH is the Name of the Almighty and His Name is very important just as the Scripture speaks. Those few truly born again obey the Torah just as messiah spoke and are not in religion. Those two plus billion christians can't fully obey it because they are just in religion and not filled with the true Ruach (Spirit) of Elohiym Almighty. Christianity is Truth mixed with lies. Many are called and FEW are chosen. Fear and Obey YAHUAH the Almighty whose name is written in mankinds DNA and History and Original Text.

Reformed theology is cancer! There is a church that never needed reforming. Follow the trail of martyrs and you’ll find that Baptists have always been there and have always been separated from any denomination, rejected the RCC and papal heresy. If you accept any kind of Protestantism or reformation you are tying yourself to the Catholic Church, historically. There are denominations called Baptist but they are just using a name.
I digress.
Calvinist doctrine is wrong Armenian doctrine is wrong!
Bible doctrine is right!
Did you know that mcarthur defends his statement that Christ did not need to shed any blood to save humanity. This is contrary to the Bible. “ for there IS NO remission of sin without the shedding of blood”
This man is a well spoken heretic.

God wants you to understand how terrible things can be without HIM😊
Well theybare terrible either way. We are supposed to be happy about the fact that God created evil.
Amazing, now the challenge for us is to remember this when we go through anything no matter how difficult it is. I’m getting stronger in Him as I relax knowing He is God, and I am His child. All things work together for good to those who love Him. He will be with us in the fire, even the fire from His hand. He sent His people into captivity, and Daniel was among them, the fiery furnace was not a surprise to God. God bless Saints be strong in Him.
BEWARE!! John McArthur is a dangerous false teacher!! He is a 5-point Calvinist!! Calvinism is straight from the pit of HELL!! Please watch the sermon by Biblically sound Pastor Ralph Yankee Arnold the 5 dangers of Calvinism!!
@@alil6547 Read their stories. Many of them went to their terrible deaths so filled with the Holy Spirit that they were singing praises to God as they were burned or flayed, or otherwise tortured. Seeing this, and knowing it had to be the power of God, thousands of persecutors got saved. That's why "Precious in the sight of the LORD Is the death of His saints." Psalm 116:5.
As for your salvation - How could we know? If you were born again, which is necessary but not sufficient for salvation, you should be able to mark a time when you saw things very differently than you had before: the Bible began to make sense, and you knew it is God's Word in truth (King James, no others); you were perhaps immediately cleansed of some bad habits; you felt a lightness, as the weight of your sin was taken from you as you realized Jesus had paid the price, and is your only Savior.....If nothing like that happened, but some pastor or somebody just told you you were "saved" because you said the sinner's prayer or something, start over. Repent of your sins, reminding yourself of God's promise in 1John 1:9 Get a King James Bible, read Genesis 1 through 9:19, and then through the New Testament a couple times. Be praying that the Lord supply your every spiritual need, that you might become everything He designed you to be, and everything else you want to tell Him and ask Him. As you continue to do that, "ask, seek, and knock," He assures you you WILL find Him. God bless you!!!! "Submit to God, resist the devil, and he will flee."
@@horseman4now thank you for the exhortation though, I love James 4:7 it’s a good verse to meditate on and it gives all instructions on how to live the new life correctly. Though the entire Bible is amazing to meditate on. If you disagree with some things written in my comment that’s okay. I am happy to be proven wrong because it’s a win win, I learn if I get proven wrong.
So, what is the answer? What is the succinct answer that you will give if and or when someone asks you this question?
@@horseman4now I believe in God and Jesus I have a question I’ve had for a long long long time
If you believe in your heart Jesus existed died for the sins of the world and justified you yet you commit one sin before deaths without confessing or asking for forgiveness will you go to heaven? From my understanding I’d say yes I want a second opinion though
This has just given me so much peace. Thank you God for who you are
I agree. I found answers for me and for the question my mother asked me to why God allowed her mom and Dad drown when she was 3. And why he allows bad to happen to good people and why he allows evil.

Folk Aart lol what are you honest folks doing in the comment section of a sermon?
Folk Aart explain the dishonesty and cowardice you mentioned
Folk Aart to claim something is a lie, you must have knowledge to it’s negation. So are either the most brilliant man of our time, or your own ridicule is contradictory. This makes you the dishonest one sir.
Now explain the coward part, and I’ll show you how that doesn’t work either.
Folk Aart once again, you cannot have enough knowledge to make these statements. All you can do is offer your opposing belief on the subject. It’s entertaining to watch you call faith a lie while giving your own beliefs.
Oh dear God, I had no idea truth from the scriptures could possibly be so funny!!!
John quoting Peter pertaining to global warming . . . I laughed until I cried . . . John MacArthur certainly gets that YOU have a great sense of humor.
Such a powerful message, an important topic that each of us has asked - each of us has gotten tripped up with, but John explains it to make the solution so simple . . . absolutely incredible. "We wouldn't know what WRATH was, we wouldn't know what MERCY was, IF THERE WERE NO SIN. "
Just as GOD has the right to put His Grace & Mercy & Righteousness on display, God also has the right to put His Wrath on display. GOD puts His Righteousness on display by the way He deals with sin & evil. GOD cannot be or do evil, but God did "will" evil to come to exist, the existence of evil allows for His Glory to be displayed, through the lengths He went to to save us from sin & evil.
Let GOD be GOD & Worship Him for the Sovereign that He is . . . " I don't want to live in a world where EVIL controls GOD. " Think about this!!! Do you want Evil to be in control of God, & He's reacting to it the best way He can . . . That would be a terrifying world. . . OR do you want God in control of Evil? Thank you, John MacArthur for this clarity.
Thank you, Precious Father, for letting me learn this lesson & allow it to sink into me deep, so that I can use it to YOUR glory to share it with others, Thank YOU, Lord, for such a wondrous variety of verse by verse Biblical truth preachers, just when we need them at the final hour before YOU come, Thank You, Lord Jesus, All Glory to God. AMEN!!!

Two nights ago I dreamed of a black sky, no stars, no light. A small box shape, also black, began to be lifted from the other side. It was opened maybe one third of the way, I saw a hand pulling it back and a face began to appear telling me "I am Jesus, do not worry". I'm paraphrasing because words weren't said aloud, just inside my mind. The small part I could see including a partial glimpse of Jesus's face was bright and shining.
That's all I remember. I felt calm when I woke up.

Your comment is a perfect example of how the belief that the Bible was inspired by a moral clever deity is daft. We are now nearly 2000 years after when we think the NT was mostly written, and it needs yet another interpretation to try to make sense of it?? There are already 30,000+ Christian sects with 30,000 different versions so what evidence do you have that this is any more "correct" than any other? Do you believe in an immoral God that did not care about all the other people who lived and dies in the past 2000 years never having heard this version?
macarthur is a HERETIC who preaches AGAINST THE HOLY SPIRIT INDWELLING PEOPLE! We have been COMMANDED to AVOID those who DENY the Power - 2Timothy 3:5. The WORD for Power in the verse is the same word that the LORD JESUS used in Acts 1:8 to tell His disciples to wait for the HOLY SPIRIT baptism, which we saw MANIFESTED in Acts chapter 2, with the EVIDENCE OF SPEAKING IN OTHER TONGUES.
The EVIDENCE is CONFIRMED again in Acts 10:44-48, Acts 19:1-6 - the INFILLING or baptism of the HOLY SPIRIT is ALWAYS evidenced with the SPEAKING IN OTHER TONGUES. There are FIVE ways TONGUES are used according to the Scriptures. One way, as we have seen in Acts and there are FOUR ways listed in 1Corinthians 14.
REDEMPTION is under Acts 2:38. The EVANGELICAL CULT does not teach SALVATION under Acts 2:38, but some mental exercise that does not get people saved so that they can have the MIND OF CHRIST - 1Corinthians 2:9-16. I have been actively praying against the evangelical cult that is CONTROLLED BY THE spirit of human reason, which it has made god, and is in DIRECT VIOLATION of the WORD - Romans 8:5-8.
ravi zecharias went down - now for the others, macarthur being on the front line. bill hybels and macdonald have also been muted.

THE TRUTH ABOUT LIFE AS TOLD BY YESHAYA BEN JOSEPH(jesus), WHO STUDIED, PONDERED, MEDITATED UPON, AND ULTIMATELY COMMUNED WITH THE KINGDOM OF GOD THAT EXISTS WITHIN HIMSELF, AS WELL AS EVERY LAST ONE OF US.....
God is OMNIPRESENT, OMNIPOTENT, OMNISCIENT, INFINITE CONSCIOUSNESS(SPIRIT), not a personal god that gives or witholds, rewards or punishes!
CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS/BUDDHA MIND/UNIVERSAL MIND is the CONSCIOUS ACTIVITY OF GOD in Our Affairs.....!!
Therefore, "A True Christian.....A Christ One......is he who frees his soul from the consciousness of the body/mind and unites it with the Christ Intelligence(God) Pervading all Creation..
Jesus speaking AS Christ Consciousness told us this, but without Spiritual Discernment, the true message is seen through the eyes of the Illusory Human Intellect(SATAN/ERROR) that created God in his image through religious dogma and idol worship(worshipping jesus the human man)...(We can't serve two masters, we either serve the illusory sense of separation from Omnipresent, Infinite Consciousness that causes dualistic the beliefs in good and evil, or we serve the only Power that Exists, Omnipresent, Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnidimensional, Infinite Consciousness)
"I Have Overcome the World"
-Christ Consciousness
The above words Spiritually/Mystically/Truthfully Discerned would be as such:
I Have Overcome the Illusory Sense of the Separate Self(the human mind and body of jesus) ....
Jesus the human man was no different than any one of us, as he had gone through all the things we've gone through, but he learned Spiritual Discernment and Truth while learning about, pondering upon, meditating upon, and then communing with the One Infinite Source that is Omnipresent, Infinite Consciousness, or as he called it: The Father(The Kingdom of Heaven Within). This is the same for Moses, Buddha, Lao Tzu, Shankara and many other Spiritually Illumined Beings throughout the ages.
They all RECOGNIZED It's the Activity of Truth in Our Consciousness that Performs Our Miracles, that Leads Our Lives....
So, until we stop relying on the illusory human state of mind(Satan) we can't leave the old and come into the new...that being Christ Consciousness(or Infinite/God Consciousness)
Christ revealed that the ONLY TRAITOR in our midst is the illusory human nature(Satan). So we must learn to die every day to our reliance on the human mind, and listen in the one and only place where you may hear the Divine.....In Silence!(Meditation on the One and Only Power...Omnipresent, Infinite Spirit, or God)
The word of the father is in the kingdom of God(Inner Spirit), not in the illusory realm of Matter/Materialism. This means it isn't in a book or in a church.....
Nothing of the illusory realm of matter is of God, as God is Omnipresent, Omnipotent, Omniscient, Infinite Consciousness, or SPIRIT ONLY!!
"Of mine own self(illusory sense of self) I can do nothing. It is the Father(Omnipresent Consciousness) that doeth the work".
Nothing of this illusory realm of existence matters to God, as God only knows that of itself, and illusion and mesmerism are not of God, so no, God Consciousness doesn't know us as an illusory human being even exists, so our car payments, illnesses, troubles, failures and woes do not matter at all.
There's no greater horror than to leave one's mind to the dualistic, carnal nature of this illusory world. When Christ Consciousness through Jesus spoke of SATAN, he was speaking of the Human Carnal Mind, and it's world of mental illusions and mesmeric beliefs. It's illnesses, cares, worries, lies, beliefs, and so on....
We must let the Splendor of God Consciousness to Pour Forth and Live It as Jesus did once he Recognized the Truth that the Father/God is Omnipresent, Infinite Consciousness!!
The presence of God Consciousness in me is the presence of God Consciousness in you....
The recognition of God in us helps us to ultimately recognize the same in all things. And the recognition of God in my enemy ultimately makes my enemy my ally....
The function of Christ Consciousness that Unfolded from the Consciousness of Yeshaya(jesus) is to relieve us of the belief of Two powers(good and evil), and to recognize that Life is not created, Life unfolds. This means that God is always the same. The same yesterday as today and tomorrow.....God Unfolds, God Does Not Create!! Perfection needs to create nothing!!
There isn't God AND Man.....There is Only God AS Man. Because of this dualistic belief we pray the way we do, i.e. asking for things, healings, etc. With the realization we are God experiencing awareness AS each and every one of us, we will come to understand that there is nothing or nobody to ask anything of or for.
"The Kingdom of God is spread out all over the world, men just don't see it...."
Supply, Sufficiency, Health, Love, all things of God are right where we stand. Our prayers should only be the recognition that we embody these truths. Asking God for anything, regardless of what it is, is sitting directly in the middle of the Two Powers of the illusory mind of man.
So we must sit in silence listening for the still small voice of God to make itself known, and then we must free it from its prison of our human beliefs in order for it to escape and be Christ AS Each One of us!!
Psalm 23....The Prayer of IS, to the mind with Spiritual Discernment(the only way to understand the Bible) says....(I DONT HAVE TO ASK GOD FOR ANYTHING, BECAUSE HE/I IS ALL. I NEED NOT BEG AND PLEAD FOR THE MERCY OR THE GRACE OF GOD BECAUSE THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS WHERE I STAND). Acknowledge God in all ways. Acknowledge that God is ALWAYS HERE, whether I make my bed in hell(living in the illusory materialistic mind) or I dwell in Heaven(living as Christ Consciousness), God will never leave me nor forsake me....
God is manifest as the very life of our being....God Already IS, and our prayers should indicate this!! There's no pleading to God. Prayer should only be a declaration of God's Omnipresent, Omnipotent, Omniscient, Infinite Self.....! Our True Spiritual Self!!
If we keep this in our thoughts at all times, this word of truth which is alive in each of us, it will externalize itself as our health, our supply, our home, our friends, our love for all others as ourselves, etc, etc....
1Jn 1:5 "This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light,
and in Him there is no darkness at all."
jasonrecords92 He is the light and he said “Let there be light” and so the universe was then formed. Isn’t that so POWERFUL?!
Burrning light. we would melt.

This is the best preacher and sermon I have ever heard. The world needs to listen to preacher John MacArthur. ❤😍🙏🙏
You did such an awesome job apologiticly. God shows such goodness by allowing men like you to preach the truth to the simple. Thank you Lord for this word.
This man is a false prophet.
Agreed on the simple part
Meanwhile god allows kids to get cancer and die of starvation which this guy preaches to the simpletons. That god is such a kidder.
Amen ❤
I had a Mormon friend explain "you want your son to be as much as you right? You wouldn't want your son to be LESS than you thought? Well if you were a King you would want your son to be a King also." I replied "I'll give you that and a son gets to become king when the kIng dies and the king I am under will NEVER die so I am satisfied to remain a prince under my king forever."
I was only in my 20's at the time and believed then and now that God gave me the words to answer.
I’ve heard that argument word for word so many times!
I hope he thought about what you told him
Tears are going down my face...
@@Elaphe472 May God bless you ❤️ I hope you’re doing well
What were the words? You have answered nothing.
I used to listen to him on the radio years ago when I delivered safety equipment and his explanation of different old and new testament scriptures opened up my understanding of the messages and helped me know the truth.😔

i lost my baby boy of 23 yrs. to depression and my husband of 30 yrs. all in one day i dont understand why i have to live in this world sooooooo EVIL. i want to go home. but thank you for explaining why there is evil in this world . my own pastor couldnt do. thank you again.
Regina Johnson My dearest Mrs. Regina Johnson, I am so sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine losing both a husband and a son in a single day, and I weep for you. I will keep you in my prayers, Dear One.
"SOON"
Regina I'm just reading this now hold fast sister Jesus is with us always.
I, too, want to go home to the arms of Jesus. After decades of trauma, I feel many times that I am just done with this world. But then, we have to persevere, for the sake of the glory of God. It isn't fun, but God is with us every day we choose to put one foot in front of the other in spite of the emotional pain we feel. By this, we proclaim our faith until He returns or calls us home. You are not alone, dear sister. We can pray for each other for the strength to carry on. Friend me on fb at facebook.com/diane.perrin.98. Or email at dianeperrin02@gmail.com. Hang in there!

I wrestled with this 21 yrs ago while knowing God exists and trying to make the decision to accept Christ. I suffered from debilitating chronic pain at the time.
@P Jeffery
Long story. If you're ok with hearing it, I'll try to shorten as much as I can.
@P Jeffery
Absolutely. I have some things I need to do first, and I might do it in parts, but I am happy to share.
@P Jeffery
If you don't mind, in the meantime.
Here's one I shared about Faith and God being the King of coming through at the last second. If you have any questions about it, please let me know. I typed it quickly so may have left some explanations out.
"If I may add something I learned personally about this?
This is quite long, for which I apologize. I tried to shorten it.
Back when I had lost my job and was on unemployment, which was a joke, there were 2-3 months where things had gotten really hairy. I don't even really remember how I managed to get me and my daughter through more than 1 month on UE, but I distinctly remember December, January, and February 2009/2010. God had very obviously (to me) come through on some help somehow December and January, but not quite so last minute. We were coming up on February, and rent was due. I had no extra money for rent. And I had exhausted every possible option for help. I had gone over exactly how much I needed to pay rent and to make it for another 2-3 weeks before my tax return came in. I think it was like $721.00, that was needed. That sticks out in my head for some reason so I'll use it for this story.
I had long since learned to have Faith in God, when you have done all you can do and it's still not enough. So for about a week, end of January, beginning of February, every day, I went over what I needed, prayed and looked into other possible avenues of assistance. When I would feel myself start to stress, I would remind myself God is in control, He will make a way or make an alternate path. Then I'd pray for calm, and go about my day. I remember that Friday, the 5th, the last day I had to get rent in or face both late fees and likely eviction. I started the day out the same, going over what was needed and praying. My young teenage daughter was well aware of our situation and though she said she believed in God, she had not been convinced of the past 2 months being proof of God coming through with avenues of assistance.
I remember thinking either she or someone else, maybe my mom, needed to see what Faith in God, resting in God, looked like and undeniable proof of God. And that was why I was being put through this test because I couldn't figure it out otherwise. My Faith in Him didn't need to be tested. It was secure to the point I would literally walk into a lion's den if I felt led to do so knowing I'd be safe.
So, that Friday, about 2 pm, crunch time, I looked down the street from our front balcony and saw the postal carrier sorting mail at our mailbox area. I wasn't expecting anything, but I remember a strong urge to go check the mail.
I went down expecting junk mail, if anything, but found a single envelope addressed to me from my previous employer. They had fired me, unlawfully back in late May 2009. In the envelope was a check for vacation time that I had accrued just before I was fired that they never gave me and I had never used. The amount of the check was $721.
I remember crying and praising God all the way up to the apartment. When my daughter came out to see what was wrong, I showed her the check and showed her what I had figured I needed. Rent got paid and my daughter's Faith in God had grown.
After that, in the few years before she went to college, my daughter and I had a number of other times when things would get a little rough financially and trusting God to come through felt like a regular occurrence almost. I felt like we were in a suspense movie where you know the Hero will come and save the day, but you don't know how. It was the most amazing thing to experience.
I only had to remind my daughter once about the last minute check to calm worries. After about the 5th or 6th time, she asked me why we kept having to be tested. I told her I didn't know, but someone must need to see what it looks like. Maybe her Grandma, who did later on accept Christ and become born again.
And maybe it was for when my daughter accepts Christ. She remembers those times, and believes in God, but has not accepted Christ and become born again. I still have hope though."
@P Jeffery
I would have agreed 22 yrs ago, but it didn't stress me out. It would have had I not been able to have Faith in God.
"6 Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7 Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus."
Philippians 4:6-7
"11 For I know the plans(A) I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper(B) you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.(C)
Jeremiah 29:11
Drove my mom nuts for years until she accepted Christ and finally understood what it meant to have Faith and why I didn't freak out when things "seemed" to be hopeless or falling apart.
@P Jeffery
Well whoever told that is wrong. There are many reasons for God to not answer prayers. Or for the answer to be "No". Or "not right now".
Maybe the path with what you want will lead you to worse off situation or put you in jeopardy. Or put you farther away from Him.
Maybe He is wanting you to learn something you will use later to help someone else.
Or learn something for or about yourself.
It's ok to be upset that something happens or doesn't happen. But if you look at where you are as though it were a temporary stop and an opportunity to shine for Him, then it makes things much easier.
As well, how you pray can have something to do with it. Don't forget, even Jesus was told NO when he asked to be spared of what He was about to go through.
I always had a difficult time praying like you hear most ppl do. I always felt it was very superficial and couldn't understand why there should only be specific times to do it. So I just started talking to Him whenever I felt like it. Telling Him about my day what I think of certain things. Asking for clarity on certain issues or situations as though I was talking to a friend or father on the phone. That made a big difference in how I felt about speaking to Him. And I ended up speaking to Him a lot more often.
We need more people and more churches speaking of these things.
Thank you for speaking truth. I really, really, really appreciate it.
Ook me 3 years to figure out what was happening to me. And you're right, this is a wicked generation. But I will Louise hope and I will not fear evil for that's what God told me to do. Yeah, I do have some fear, but, yeah, I'm comforted. Knowing God's for god is even stronger than satan.
This is an educated man. I’ve learned so much from him. God bless him and give him more grace over his life.
With love, Stephanie Denise
