When I saw the news saying that the black lives matter protesters were fine and they weren't endangering anyone's life's by protesting, I knew it was all about control. I was an atheist and a Democrat. I got saved and became a Libertarian but vote Republican. Edit: I'm a wife and mother but thank you for all your well wishes. ❤
You need to rethink about being Libertarian. It is an unbiblical organization. Just be an Independent if you don't want to be a member of either major party.
God bless you. Yeah, I definitely woke up more in 2020 when what was going on locally was not what was being reported. Everything that was reported was obvious control stuff trying to control people by fear and other emotions. Just know those harmed most by BLM were those who fell for and got used and manipulated by the multi-million dollar BLM and what that group really stood for. Hint- it had nothing to do with actually helping the lives of anyone who was black unless they meant off a cliff for liberal gains. For those who don’t know the founders bought mansions off donations. They were literally trained in South America to be anti-America. The founders self profess calling on ancestral spirit (demons) and using word crafting (witchcraft). That all sounds unbelievable, but it’s the truth, something that BLM didn’t stand for was the truth, I won’t even get into that stuff, but it seems they understood the psychology behind saying a lie enough time that people start to repeat it as the truth. 😩 I will however say I first learned about BLM in 2016 when Obama was running and the news refused to play the footage of BLM lighting a gas station on fire with people in it in Milwaukee because it wasn’t the narrative. I looked at their website and it truly did say that they wanted to divide the family unit apart from each other. They are believers in Marx and that guy had money but let his family hunger and yet he blamed the government and not his gambling issues. The whole sounds nice but it’s evil is BLM. BLM had nothing to do with black lives mattering, maybe they felt their money mattered, as in taking it. please consider spending some time going on the answers in genesis website and watching the documentary/talk “one blood, one race.” It’s free and freeing! 💕 We are family.
MacArthur is "the old guard" when it comes to the Faith (like I regarded RC Sproul RIP)! Yes I've read of past claims of mistakes or misjudgments - fine, he's been in ministry DECADES and perfect doesn't happen in any church or business & we aren't infallible. He's authentic and I love him.
Apparently you don't know that COVID did run through his church, he himself had it twice and he lied for the sake of winning the lawsuit.... Is that what Jesus would do??? Lie to win his point??? with financial gain as the reward??? Did you see the service where he stood behind the pulpit with no repentance and justified lying to the world about COVID???
Over 1.11 million Covid deaths equals one in 300 Americans died. Why? It was largely due to Trump initially downplaying the virus , ignoring health warnings about superspreader and religious wackos claiming they knew better than science. Canada used science and vaccines. As a result their Covid mortality was 39% of the US.

I discovered Pastor John MacArthur on a radio station about 24 years ago. His teachings helped me tremendously. I went to the Strange Fire Conference, and that was an incredible experience. When I returned home and went back to my local church, they started "worship" that included a fog machine (Calvary Chapel). I snapped my John MacArthur Study Bible shut, looked at my gift from the Lord, and said, "we are done here." We skipped Skip from then on. This man of God does not compromise the Truth. Thanks for the post Bee. Beeutiful interview.
Oh my gosh! A fog machine? Wow. That's sooooo awful... My question is, was the worship leader adding it because he wanted to glorify himself? Maybe, but that's not really up for us to decide. Oh and the disdain for Calvary Chapel... why? John MacArthur has wack theology, and a hypocrite, yet you ran to him. Calvary Chaprl is very basic in the presentation of the Gospel, because that's what Paul made it. Simple.
@@markwhite116 Sorry, but I didn't "run" to John Mcarthur. I attended a conference. I attend a smaller church now without the fog machine, and with good teaching. Please, don't "run" to conclusions about someone you don't know!
@@markwhite116 I don't have "disdain" for Calvary. I learned a lot while I attended it. I still have many friends that go there. I grieve for the church and for the departure from their foundation. Pragmatism had crept into the church slowly (louder "worship", brighter lights, and then the fog machine). I had more than enough, and it was time to start a new season. John MacArthur is not the perfect Pastor either, and I am confident he will admit that. I did enjoy the Conference which comprised of many teachers, with some of them having strong disagreements with Pastor John MacArthur, but not over the essential doctrine. Blessings to you. 🙏
@@Stevenowski those things, loud music, bright lights, fog machine are not bad in and of themselves. That would be called legalism, which is what the Pharisees were all about. If the pastor started not preaching the Bible, that would have been bad. And John MacArthur, he is so adamant that he is right on secondary issues, that he claims if you disagree you are compromising your relationship with Jesus. And I'm sorry, repeatedly not taking care of your flock (saying the abuse victims must stay with their spouse, is not) and also not following your own teaching means you should probably step down. But he is too arrogant and only has yes men around him on the elder board. A former elder attempted to point out that he might be wrong in handling an abused woman's relationship, and he was basically encouraged to leave the church. That kind of leadership is extremely dangerous.
Please pray for Pastor John as he recovers from a cardiac ablation to restore an arrhythmia of his heart. As you can see, he has lost a lot of weight and fluids. About the same time he went to the hospital his wife fell and broke her hip!
I love what John said about knowing from prophecy that things are going to get worse, not better. While the part of me that is empathetic and loves justice and truth wants to see a cultural and governmental change, the selfish part of me, knowing that each step we take into the pit is a step closer to Christ's second coming, prays that we continue down this road toward the end of this age.
John MacArthur is the premier Bible scholar of our time. I love his NASB Study Bible in which his commentaries explain God's character, wisdom, truths, and history. I've been richly blessed by his many writings and his ministries.
John McCarthur has been such a blessing to me for teaching me God's word. He is God's servant. God is using him for our sakes. God bless John MacArthur and thank you sir.
I am 62 and since i found John on youtube 1 year ago i have learned more about the bible Jesus and my salvation i never knew or understood filling my heart mind and spirit with joy. He is a wonderful teacher and i am fully grateful to him. Praise God in all🙏❤🙏✌️🙏 .
MacArthur and Pastor Doug Wilson in Moscow, Idaho were two strong examples of faithfulness in the face of persecution by wicked governments during the lockdowns.
What a wonderful interview, to bring this saintly man, the Paul of our time to Babylon Bee. It is so lovely to see Pastor McArthur being so sharp witted and so faithful to our Lord. Thanks a million for this great interview, God bless 🙏
I love this man!! Such a Godly man. 2020 was a turning point for me. My church closed and so I found Pastor MacArthur on TH-cam. Now I am attending at a church where the pastor studied with Pastor MacArthur
I remember in 2019 there was New Years Eve prophecy from the Holy Spirit how every street in Europe and America would have a home church and movie theaters and stadiums would be made empty and people would no longer be interested because they will be in preparation for the move of God as people worshiped Jesus in the streets and parking lots. Everyone started cheering. I remember wondering what’s going to happen. 😂 scripture says, “we prophesy in part.” God gave a revelation of solutions to those who were listening to that “still small voice.” In 2019, without any fear or knowing anything that would happen, God put on my heart to always have enough in my house for our family and to share with others, in 2020 I shopped less and gave out more. Our feeding center shut down, it didn’t stop the body of Christ for making sure people got food and toiletries. 🙌 “God is the same, yesterday, today, and tomorrow.” “ Jesus said, my sheep hear my voice, they will not listen to another.” “ in the last days, I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh.” In 2019 I thought I was the last person in the world to have a home church, but my Catholic neighbor, a Covid nurse, had me watching her special needs child every single day, and we did church together on Sundays via online. 💕
"I don't know that I ever felt anything - I wasn't looking for emotional cues." John MacArthur. Emotional christianity is the death of the modern church. It's certainly the core of christian radio. God Bless MacArthur.
I love Pastor MacArthur's preaching. I just discovered his preaching last week and I've been binge watching his & Pastor Justin Peter's sermons. Pastor Voddie Bachman is a great preacher too.
I have such great respect for John MacArthur for his stance on truth. And I greatly respect his congregation for her willingness to obey God rather than men.
John, I am so grateful God brought you to deliver the Gospel into my life, I love all you preach and brings me food that I so need. I thank God for you often. Live well, be happy, I see the Lord in you and have been so blessed by how he ahs used you!
Absolute hero. I hope he realizes (I think he does...) how his name/face/voice being attached to the "church reopening" movement was critical and absolutely empowering. I was living in Chicago at the time and just didn't see the effort, the initiative, the confidence, even the desire to challenge The Regime (Mayor Lori Lightfoot, Gov. JB Pritzker, Dr. Fauci, the CDC, the MSM). Specifically, at a few of the supposed "conservative" churches I attended during my 13 years in Chicagoland. And yes, I'm talking about you, Moody Church (Chicago) and Christ Church of Oak Brook. You waited till you were given permission by godless Liberals. You trusted "the Science" and "experts" and "researchers" and government agencies first.
So grateful to Lord for You saved and spared the life of Your faithful and bold slave, my beloved Pastor John. HALLELUJAH! Thank You so much Lord for Your faithfulness to Pastor John. You not only restored his health but You have renewed him and sustained him and strengthened him. Praise God! To God Be The Glory 🎉🪅🎊
People think JMAC is arrogant when in fact, his half-century effort to deeply study God’s word has simply led to confidence in understanding and exposition.
He's great on many theological issues. I just don't like that he is dispensational! Really wrong on eschatology, sadly. But still a giant in the faith for the gospel.
the only genuine problem i have is as far as im aware he still hasnt apologized to the woman he disfellowshipped when she was being abused by her husband and she left him. Dude went to prison over it too, and instead of apologizing to her tried helping the husband instead. Now if these things are false, i will repent as soon as i learn it, for i dont wish to witness falsely against anyone, especially a brother in Christ, but i do believe these to be the facts. Im still confident in him being a genuine man of God, and i hope ill get a chance to ask him in heaven why he chose to do certain things he did, but i genuinely dont doubt him as a follower of Christ. But i also recognize him as a flawed human being like the rest of us.
Both my kids have told me when their children are school age they are both planning to home school all their kids which makes me very happy. I feel it’s the only way to have children in todays world.
I thank the Lord for John if I can model my life after any human, pastor McArthur is that human for me. I listen to him everyday if God have me the opportunity to have dinner with any man I would choose this amazing man of God.
Thank You John. Ty So much. Your Bible was given to me at my second rehab (finally surrendered a year ago at 3rd). It has changed my life. And We(My Husband, also Recovered, and Surrendered) Love You So Very Much.
Been listening to Pastor MacArthur since I was 5 years old (so 41 years now). Not only is his LOVE for Christ unwavering, but his dedication to his church, to telling the TRUTH, and truly explaining the Word of God is absolutely incredible. I have so much respect for him and his ministry. I listen to 2-3 sermons of his almost every day. And watch him live on Sundays (I live in Florida). I have a wonderful pastor who is an expositor here and actually references Pastor John a lot in his sermons. Pastor John has been integral in so many lives. So grateful to GOD for allowing him to be in our times…… these times.
Ngl I never heard of John MacArthur until this past Spring (when I began my journey in Christianity- recent convert from atheism). I can only wish I had the brains to have listened to him and men like him all along. Then again, spilt milk is spilt milk. Thank The Lord I was lead in this new direction. Maybe it was meant to be that my eyes come open only now, who knows except God. And not only is Pastor MacArthur still strong and active but there's a massive, decades long catalog of recorded sermons, conference appearances, TV interviews etc. I've only begun to scratch the surface of. What a blessed legacy. Thanks unto our Holy Father.
Truly a man of God. I have so much love and respect for pastor John MacArthur. He has been a huge blessing in my life. May God bless him with health and longevity so he can keep on blessing so many of us. May the good Lord watch over his wife too. Much love from South of Brazil 🇧🇷.
God bless you and your show made grow so people are aware of what Christianity is to a person that is a Christian having John MacArthur on answering the questions biblically is so awesome I thank God for John MacArthur everytime I watch a video or listen to a CD and I get to follow along with my Bible I have more understanding of the Bible that I ever have in my lifetime I'm a seventy-year-old man now I appreciate John MacArthur I thank God for him.
What an excellent interview with John MacArthur . It's so helpful what he clarifies about the government sphere and the Church sphere and that government has no right interfering or overreaching into the Church sphere , apart from breaches of the law. I look forward to seeing this documentary .
Always good to see and hear Johnny Mac no matter which doctrines one holds on to. Clearly a brother in Christ and a man of God. So let’s be honest. It’s extremely difficult to find a church in most states that did not shut down for an extensive amount of time. Which unfortunately added to many walking away from the faith both altogether and those who simply no longer wish to participate in an assembly that would lose their spine so quickly and for so long a time. Seems there are quite literally tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands or more, who are simply watching the assemblies that they cannot get to online. At the same time there is a refining element that happened, in that there are many churches that were garbage to begin with that have shut down. It’s true, you know it is. Attendance may be down in person at many churches but it has picked up significantly elsewhere. People seem to be learning a heck of a lot faster this way as well. We can now jump through a dozen different sermons in a day to find those whom we have similar doctrinal understandings with and share/ bounce old and new truths with each other. In trying to shut down everybody. It may have completely backfired and although the legacy media may not remark upon it. I’m seeing and hearing a lot more people with a much greater understanding of the word. Now if we could just stop getting so offended about things that are not soul saving issues and move forward with the Holy Spirit leading and the armor of God as our defense we are unstoppable. God Bless You My Brothers and Sisters, stay in the word.
John Mac is the realest of the real. He stands for no nonsense and he goes on the Bible no matter what. Mad respect. He's the most beloved preacher ive seen. Im certain, if he doesn't go to heaven, thats when I'll know im screwed for sure. It's gonna be a sad day when he passes. Thank you Lord for blessing all of us with his teaching of your word.
John: No pastor should be pastor if his adult children are unruly and out of line. Me: Uh your son has just made a multi million dollar settlement with the government because he defrauded a bunch of people of millions of dollars... John: . . . Another one John: Abuse victims cannot get a divorce even to save their kids. Me: where does it say that in the Bible? John: . . . One last one John: The Jesus Revolution is a heretical movement. Me: Why? John: Because look at all the bad people and terrible songs have sprouted from it and I'm a cessationist. Me: Greg Laurie came from it, he has people constantly professing that Jesus is Lord at his harvest crusades. Oh and I see proof consistently that the Holy Spirit is working right now. And to your point about songs, did we as humans stop being creative when you became pastor, being that some hymns are written in the 50s? That's an extremely high view of yourself and a low view of every subsequent generation. His theology is wack, and he loves the glory. He closed his church for 4 months before saying we will resist.
@@alvinhickling901 lol. John MacArthur is a hypocrite. And you guys worship him. That's all I'm saying. Oh and his theology is not correct in a lot of areas. It is satanic to make an abuse victim stay married or be kicked out of the church. That abuser is not being faithful to their spouse to love their wife as Christ loved the church... so yes, his theology is very bad. But continue being a believer in your lord John MacArthur...
What a wonderful interview! Praise God for interviewing Our Pastor John MacArthur!! Great questions and excellent answers regarding our current government and what the church ought to do. Thank you, Pastor MacArthur for directing God’s people! A definite “like” to this interview - Btw-Babylon Bee is a bit off putting- Why Babylon? A place we, as Christians, should flee from?
Thank you Lord for your servant John MacArthur. I shudder to consider where we'd be as a society without the examples of faith & courage we've had from guys like him, Voddie, Durbin...etc.

Faith is a fantasyland term, & the Christians hate to hear it.
If faith had any value, then you could move mountains by voice-command.
We know there is no god outside of fiction.
Freud wrote the antidote to Christianity is literacy.
The Christians slapped their books on the Old Testament, & the Mormons glued theirs on to them both, thus proving Christians lack quality-control.

John MacArthur is a treasure! Enjoyed this thoroughly
I'm so incredibly happy to see Johnny Mac on the Bee! Absolutely Epic!
I know lol
I discovered Pastor John MacArthur on a radio station about 24 years ago. His teachings helped me tremendously. I went to the Strange Fire Conference, and that was an incredible experience. When I returned home and went back to my local church, they started "worship" that included a fog machine (Calvary Chapel). I snapped my John MacArthur Study Bible shut, looked at my gift from the Lord, and said, "we are done here." We skipped Skip from then on.
This man of God does not compromise the Truth. Thanks for the post Bee. Beeutiful interview.
Oh my gosh! A fog machine? Wow. That's sooooo awful...
My question is, was the worship leader adding it because he wanted to glorify himself? Maybe, but that's not really up for us to decide.
Oh and the disdain for Calvary Chapel... why? John MacArthur has wack theology, and a hypocrite, yet you ran to him. Calvary Chaprl is very basic in the presentation of the Gospel, because that's what Paul made it. Simple.
That's called the Regulative Principle of Worship. It's a pillar of Reformed Theology. You may want to look into it.
@@markwhite116
Sorry, but I didn't "run" to John Mcarthur.
I attended a conference. I attend a smaller church now without the fog machine, and with good teaching. Please, don't "run" to conclusions about someone you don't know!
@@markwhite116
I don't have "disdain" for Calvary. I learned a lot while I attended it. I still have many friends that go there. I grieve for the church and for the departure from their foundation. Pragmatism had crept into the church slowly (louder "worship", brighter lights, and then the fog machine). I had more than enough, and it was time to start a new season.
John MacArthur is not the perfect Pastor either, and I am confident he will admit that. I did enjoy the Conference which comprised of many teachers, with some of them having strong disagreements with Pastor John MacArthur, but not over the essential doctrine.
Blessings to you. 🙏
@@Stevenowski those things, loud music, bright lights, fog machine are not bad in and of themselves. That would be called legalism, which is what the Pharisees were all about. If the pastor started not preaching the Bible, that would have been bad.
And John MacArthur, he is so adamant that he is right on secondary issues, that he claims if you disagree you are compromising your relationship with Jesus.
And I'm sorry, repeatedly not taking care of your flock (saying the abuse victims must stay with their spouse, is not) and also not following your own teaching means you should probably step down. But he is too arrogant and only has yes men around him on the elder board. A former elder attempted to point out that he might be wrong in handling an abused woman's relationship, and he was basically encouraged to leave the church. That kind of leadership is extremely dangerous.
This man is my pastor. I live in Atlanta. I was born in Nicaragua. I Work in Alaska. I can’t go to church. This man provides my sermons.
Please pray for Pastor John as he recovers from a cardiac ablation to restore an arrhythmia of his heart. As you can see, he has lost a lot of weight and fluids. About the same time he went to the hospital his wife fell and broke her hip!
Pastor, patriot, and powerhouse. God bless Pastor MacArthur.
I love what John said about knowing from prophecy that things are going to get worse, not better. While the part of me that is empathetic and loves justice and truth wants to see a cultural and governmental change, the selfish part of me, knowing that each step we take into the pit is a step closer to Christ's second coming, prays that we continue down this road toward the end of this age.
John MacArthur is the premier Bible scholar of our time. I love his NASB Study Bible in which his commentaries explain God's character, wisdom, truths, and history. I've been richly blessed by his many writings and his ministries.
John McCarthur has been such a blessing to me for teaching me God's word. He is God's servant. God is using him for our sakes.
God bless John MacArthur and thank you sir.
I am 62 and since i found John on youtube 1 year ago i have learned more about the bible Jesus and my salvation i never knew or understood filling my heart mind and spirit with joy. He is a wonderful teacher and i am fully grateful to him. Praise God in all🙏❤🙏✌️🙏 .
He is the only pastor who does not mince the truth of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. He bluntly proclaims the truth!
MacArthur and Pastor Doug Wilson in Moscow, Idaho were two strong examples of faithfulness in the face of persecution by wicked governments during the lockdowns.
What a wonderful interview, to bring this saintly man, the Paul of our time to Babylon Bee. It is so lovely to see Pastor McArthur being so sharp witted and so faithful to our Lord. Thanks a million for this great interview, God bless 🙏
He is not the Paul of our time... forcing people to be with the abuser of their children isn't wise.
I would argue he is the John of our time….
@@markwhite116 ell thats a LIE and you are a LIAR !!!
@@ryanhamstra49 well that would be OK if your opinion counted for any thing but it don't !
@@alvinhickling901that’s hilarious! Opinions are fit for the trash can.
I love this man!! Such a Godly man. 2020 was a turning point for me. My church closed and so I found Pastor MacArthur on TH-cam. Now I am attending at a church where the pastor studied with Pastor MacArthur
I remember in 2019 there was New Years Eve prophecy from the Holy Spirit how every street in Europe and America would have a home church and movie theaters and stadiums would be made empty and people would no longer be interested because they will be in preparation for the move of God as people worshiped Jesus in the streets and parking lots. Everyone started cheering. I remember wondering what’s going to happen. 😂 scripture says, “we prophesy in part.” God gave a revelation of solutions to those who were listening to that “still small voice.” In 2019, without any fear or knowing anything that would happen, God put on my heart to always have enough in my house for our family and to share with others, in 2020 I shopped less and gave out more. Our feeding center shut down, it didn’t stop the body of Christ for making sure people got food and toiletries. 🙌 “God is the same, yesterday, today, and tomorrow.” “ Jesus said, my sheep hear my voice, they will not listen to another.” “ in the last days, I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh.” In 2019 I thought I was the last person in the world to have a home church, but my Catholic neighbor, a Covid nurse, had me watching her special needs child every single day, and we did church together on Sundays via online. 💕
Praise God for John McArthur, his love and faithfulness to scripture is truly a blessing. 🥰🙏🏼
"I don't know that I ever felt anything - I wasn't looking for emotional cues." John MacArthur.
Emotional christianity is the death of the modern church. It's certainly the core of christian radio. God Bless MacArthur.
@samry9864 Don't let your emotions guide your decisions. Let them come OUT of your decisions.
Amen, amen ,amen.
I love Pastor MacArthur's preaching. I just discovered his preaching last week and I've been binge watching his & Pastor Justin Peter's sermons. Pastor Voddie Bachman is a great preacher too.
I have such great respect for John MacArthur for his stance on truth. And I greatly respect his congregation for her willingness to obey God rather than men.
One of the few preachers I love very dearly. Lord bless him and keep him. Love this man💓.
JM is a false preacher and is not a Christian. You have been deceived.
Thank God for Pastor John MacArthur ministry. We love him. My husband is deceased now, but i still listen to him. I have his Study Bible.🤟❤🙏
John, I am so grateful God brought you to deliver the Gospel into my life, I love all you preach and brings me food that I so need. I thank God for you often. Live well, be happy, I see the Lord in you and have been so blessed by how he ahs used you!
JM has only brought deception and a 100% fake christianity into your life. Repent, and learn what the Christianity of the Bible actually is.
God bless him.Such a great example of a leader.
I you are a part of his kingdom (movie), he might be.
But 👁know, it's not my Kingdom.
Keep preaching scripture! May God bless you pastor John.
Absolute hero. I hope he realizes (I think he does...) how his name/face/voice being attached to the "church reopening" movement was critical and absolutely empowering. I was living in Chicago at the time and just didn't see the effort, the initiative, the confidence, even the desire to challenge The Regime (Mayor Lori Lightfoot, Gov. JB Pritzker, Dr. Fauci, the CDC, the MSM). Specifically, at a few of the supposed "conservative" churches I attended during my 13 years in Chicagoland. And yes, I'm talking about you, Moody Church (Chicago) and Christ Church of Oak Brook. You waited till you were given permission by godless Liberals. You trusted "the Science" and "experts" and "researchers" and government agencies first.
JM is an absolute fraud. You are completely deceived.
So grateful to Lord for You saved and spared the life of Your faithful and bold slave, my beloved Pastor John. HALLELUJAH! Thank You so much Lord for Your faithfulness to Pastor John. You not only restored his health but You have renewed him and sustained him and strengthened him. Praise God! To God Be The Glory 🎉🪅🎊
Praying for him and Patricia
Changed hearts = a changed world!! God bless Pastor MacArthur.
An amazing man of God. I am a pastor and he is such a wonderful servant and example.
People think JMAC is arrogant when in fact, his half-century effort to deeply study God’s word has simply led to confidence in understanding and exposition.
Well said! 👍
@@cathywible8769only stupid minds can find arrogance in him, he just exposits the Bible, he repeats the word of God nothing less nor more .
He's great on many theological issues. I just don't like that he is dispensational! Really wrong on eschatology, sadly. But still a giant in the faith for the gospel.
the only genuine problem i have is as far as im aware he still hasnt apologized to the woman he disfellowshipped when she was being abused by her husband and she left him. Dude went to prison over it too, and instead of apologizing to her tried helping the husband instead.
Now if these things are false, i will repent as soon as i learn it, for i dont wish to witness falsely against anyone, especially a brother in Christ, but i do believe these to be the facts.
Im still confident in him being a genuine man of God, and i hope ill get a chance to ask him in heaven why he chose to do certain things he did, but i genuinely dont doubt him as a follower of Christ. But i also recognize him as a flawed human being like the rest of us.
Well said.
God blessed us with John MacArthur. Living in Texas and listen to all his sermons.
The Moderator did a great job! Thx for a compelling interview dude!
Both my kids have told me when their children are school age they are both planning to home school all their kids which makes me very happy. I feel it’s the only way to have children in todays world.
God bless this gem of a man. I loved that Fresca moment between Pastor John and Sam.
John MacArthur.....a Lion of The Faith!!
You're turning Aslanese
I think you're turning Aslanese
I really think so
I thank the Lord for John if I can model my life after any human, pastor McArthur is that human for me. I listen to him everyday if God have me the opportunity to have dinner with any man I would choose this amazing man of God.
What a joy to get to know Pastor McArthur and the recent projects
Thank you
One of the top pastors in American history. Great man.
Praise God. Take a stand against the worldly tide
Thank God for John MacArthur
God bless this man and his family. 😊🙏🏽
Thank You John. Ty So much. Your Bible was given to me at my second rehab (finally surrendered a year ago at 3rd). It has changed my life. And We(My Husband, also Recovered, and Surrendered) Love You So Very Much.
Thanks LORD we can see John MacArthur and interviews like this todays ,in this corrupt world.
GOD IS SO AWESOME! GOD WINS!!
Praise the Lord for Pastor MacArthur prayers answered for his Wonderful health!,❤
JM is not a Christian, He is a wolf in sheeps clothing.
Thank you Pastor John McArthur.
That was the best interview I’ve ever seen with John MacArthur. Thank you God bless
I appreciate you interviewing pastor John McArthur and his testimony about the challenges of the church.
THANK YOU, FOR THIS INTERVIEW!!! MAY GOD BLESS YOU, ALWAYS!!!
GREAT INTERVIEW!!!!!
Thank you Babylon Bee for this great interview. I love pastor MacArthur. I’m so glad to see him doing so well. 🙏🏼❤️
Amen! What a great encouragement and amazing testimony of faith.
JM is not a Christian. He is a wolf in sheeps clothing.
Great interview! I can't wait to see the documentary!
We need more Christian leaders like this man!!
Been listening to Pastor MacArthur since I was 5 years old (so 41 years now). Not only is his LOVE for Christ unwavering, but his dedication to his church, to telling the TRUTH, and truly explaining the Word of God is absolutely incredible. I have so much respect for him and his ministry. I listen to 2-3 sermons of his almost every day. And watch him live on Sundays (I live in Florida). I have a wonderful pastor who is an expositor here and actually references Pastor John a lot in his sermons. Pastor John has been integral in so many lives. So grateful to GOD for allowing him to be in our times…… these times.
Wow! Pastor John actually has some sense of humor 😊
He has a GREAT sense of humor!
He is KNOWN for his awesome sense of humor 😊.
He really does
Johnnie Mac! I can’t wait 😁
Fantastic interview. Thank you pastor John MacArthur a great man after the Lord's own heart.
God bless Pr. John for his courage in faithfulness. He is a great example for many of us.
I absolutely love Pastor Macarthur's sermons.
Your channel is now officially certified in heaven. 🎉🎉🎉
Haha I thought something similar when they had Doug Wilson on too 🥰 The Bee is doing good work.
hahaha
Ngl I never heard of John MacArthur until this past Spring (when I began my journey in Christianity- recent convert from atheism). I can only wish I had the brains to have listened to him and men like him all along. Then again, spilt milk is spilt milk. Thank The Lord I was lead in this new direction. Maybe it was meant to be that my eyes come open only now, who knows except God. And not only is Pastor MacArthur still strong and active but there's a massive, decades long catalog of recorded sermons, conference appearances, TV interviews etc. I've only begun to scratch the surface of. What a blessed legacy. Thanks unto our Holy Father.
What a wonderful man of God. The Essential Church is an amazing film and extremely well put together.
JM is not a Christian. He is an actor and a salesman who sells a 100% counterfeit christianity.
Unflinching and steadfast unto the inerrancy of God’s Word. Thanking God for his great Servant, John MacArthur.
One of the few true pastors left in our world today .
When God is with you, no one can be against you. Thank God for loving His children and leading us still.
Good for John Mac Arthur! God Bless Him 🙏🏼
Babylon Bee always on point. John is just one elder among a lot at GCC I love my church!
Thank you for a very good interview. I do appreciate John MacArthur but also appreciate the insight of the actual interviewer.
I thank God for a lot, including John MacArthur.
Truly a man of God. I have so much love and respect for pastor John MacArthur. He has been a huge blessing in my life. May God bless him with health and longevity so he can keep on blessing so many of us. May the good Lord watch over his wife too. Much love from South of Brazil 🇧🇷.
I love my brother in Christ, and became a listener when he made news because of Gov. Newson
A lot of us love John and are soo happy to see strong and healthy
I want a MacArthur Study bible in LSB
God bless you and your show made grow so people are aware of what Christianity is to a person that is a Christian having John MacArthur on answering the questions biblically is so awesome I thank God for John MacArthur everytime I watch a video or listen to a CD and I get to follow along with my Bible I have more understanding of the Bible that I ever have in my lifetime I'm a seventy-year-old man now I appreciate John MacArthur I thank God for him.
Well done John, God bless you.
Thank you dear Lord that there are those who have not bowed the knee to baal!
Made my day. JMac strong, and doing fun interviews with super relevant channels. Great stuff!
What an excellent interview with John MacArthur . It's so helpful what he clarifies about the government sphere and the Church sphere and that government has no right interfering or overreaching into the Church sphere , apart from breaches of the law. I look forward to seeing this documentary .
Always good to see and hear Johnny Mac no matter which doctrines one holds on to. Clearly a brother in Christ and a man of God. So let’s be honest. It’s extremely difficult to find a church in most states that did not shut down for an extensive amount of time. Which unfortunately added to many walking away from the faith both altogether and those who simply no longer wish to participate in an assembly that would lose their spine so quickly and for so long a time. Seems there are quite literally tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands or more, who are simply watching the assemblies that they cannot get to online. At the same time there is a refining element that happened, in that there are many churches that were garbage to begin with that have shut down. It’s true, you know it is. Attendance may be down in person at many churches but it has picked up significantly elsewhere. People seem to be learning a heck of a lot faster this way as well. We can now jump through a dozen different sermons in a day to find those whom we have similar doctrinal understandings with and share/ bounce old and new truths with each other. In trying to shut down everybody. It may have completely backfired and although the legacy media may not remark upon it. I’m seeing and hearing a lot more people with a much greater understanding of the word. Now if we could just stop getting so offended about things that are not soul saving issues and move forward with the Holy Spirit leading and the armor of God as our defense we are unstoppable. God Bless You My Brothers and Sisters, stay in the word.
Johnny Mac is looking pretty good! Glad to see him healing up well.
John Mac is the realest of the real. He stands for no nonsense and he goes on the Bible no matter what. Mad respect. He's the most beloved preacher ive seen. Im certain, if he doesn't go to heaven, thats when I'll know im screwed for sure. It's gonna be a sad day when he passes. Thank you Lord for blessing all of us with his teaching of your word.
John: No pastor should be pastor if his adult children are unruly and out of line.
Me: Uh your son has just made a multi million dollar settlement with the government because he defrauded a bunch of people of millions of dollars...
John: . . .
Another one
John: Abuse victims cannot get a divorce even to save their kids.
Me: where does it say that in the Bible?
John: . . .
One last one
John: The Jesus Revolution is a heretical movement.
Me: Why?
John: Because look at all the bad people and terrible songs have sprouted from it and I'm a cessationist.
Me: Greg Laurie came from it, he has people constantly professing that Jesus is Lord at his harvest crusades. Oh and I see proof consistently that the Holy Spirit is working right now. And to your point about songs, did we as humans stop being creative when you became pastor, being that some hymns are written in the 50s? That's an extremely high view of yourself and a low view of every subsequent generation.
His theology is wack, and he loves the glory. He closed his church for 4 months before saying we will resist.
@@markwhite116 Get thee behind us Satan !!!
@@alvinhickling901 lol. John MacArthur is a hypocrite. And you guys worship him. That's all I'm saying. Oh and his theology is not correct in a lot of areas. It is satanic to make an abuse victim stay married or be kicked out of the church. That abuser is not being faithful to their spouse to love their wife as Christ loved the church... so yes, his theology is very bad. But continue being a believer in your lord John MacArthur...
So proud of you babylon bee❤
What a wonderful interview!
Praise God for interviewing Our Pastor John MacArthur!! Great questions and excellent answers regarding our current government and what the church ought to do.
Thank you, Pastor MacArthur for directing God’s people!
A definite “like” to this interview -
Btw-Babylon Bee is a bit off putting-
Why Babylon? A place we, as Christians, should flee from?
With so many Christian leaders falling away it's good to see those that are standing until the end.
Very well said Pastor John Mac😊😊😊
Thank you Lord for your servant John MacArthur. I shudder to consider where we'd be as a society without the examples of faith & courage we've had from guys like him, Voddie, Durbin...etc.
Greatest pastor in the last 100 years hands down
