l learned who John was _because_ he wouldn't close his church! l live in Canada where not ONE church is open. :( Johnny Mac taught The Word in _such_ a way, that l realized l was happily heading to the WIDE door! Now l have been shown the way to the NARROW door! May The Lord bless John for shepherding the flock! _ALL GLORY_ goes to The KING of kings, and LORD of lords!
I also listen to all 3 of the pastors you mentioned. You might also really like Paul Washer. He is right up there with these 3 men in my opinion. Also Paul Washer and Voddie are friends. Voddie has said he looks up to Paul Washer (I didnt know this until recently). God Bless.
I am currently studying at a seminar in South Africa that is fully funded by GTY. The tuition fee we pay a year is R4000 (271.18 USD a year), we receive study material worth R15 000 (1029.51 USD), the tuition fee covers for our education and good. The institution accepts plus less than 100 students a year and employees 20 permanent staff members. The amount we pay is way low to meet all the financial burden to the institution. Most of the study material, food and accommodation is covered by grace to you.
I came to The LORD Jesus from the dark side, and I am very familiar with how satan funds his worshipers. Look at the millions with jayz etc. money should never be a concern in deciding if someone is Blessed by The LORD Jesus Christ.
Here in Canada 🇨🇦 we heard about Pastor MacArthur when he refused to close his church during COVID shutdown. Me and our church have great respect for him , our pastor ( who recently passed away after emergency surgery ) always talked about Pastor MacArthur . Please pray for our church as we are grieving and also looking for a pastor to take over “ Arabic Christian Church of Edmonton “ . There are videos of him speaking before he passed away on TH-cam ( Pastor Emad Morris )
Nothing in comparison to Mr MacArthur .... MacArthur controls his organisation, nepotism rules and millions are passed each year to family members. He owns outright in the US alone three homes ... The video ignored investigations into the awarding of degrees without proper verification and record keeping as well as the bullying and intimidation that was found to be rife among students and particularly staff in MacArthur's organisation.. A God forsaken place and a God forsaken organisation !! A God forsaken man !!
@@woobiefuntime why not? Opening it partially will make no difference. There's no scientific evidence that a partial opening makes any difference. All that is , is political show boating.
I'm glad I watched to the end, unlike the time a few months ago when I was watching one of John MacArthur's videos on TH-cam and got a bit irked by it. Let me just say that it was you, Justin, that introduced me to him and then i discovered he is on my local UK Christian radio station in the wee small hours when i cant sleep and it's been amazing listening to him. Going back to the video i was watching when i got irked. It was nothing that he had said that was wrong, i never watched to the end and jumped the gun. So i wrote to his organisation and got a lovely reply that explained everything that i'd had doubts about. He then asked me if he could send me a MacArthur study bible for nothing! I'd only dreamed about owning something like that. I received that and several other books and im very grateful for their generosity. God bless you all and thanks for your videos, i've learned so much about the heresy i'd been taught and how blinded i was to it but now i'm free! :)
Ellis! Thank you so very much for your comment. How encouraging this is to read! I’m not at all surprised at the kindness and generosity they showed to you at Grace Community. They are wonderful folks and millions of lives have been impacted by them through God’s grace. Blessings to you and your family! :-)
I’ve only started watching JohnnyMac in the last 2 months. Yet, I listen to his sermons, even from his beginnings, and I find JMac the most solid, uncompromising preacher I’ve ever heard. Jesus Is proud of John McArthur in my worthless opinion.
I am also a huge appreciator of Pastor MacArthur. For maybe 2 years now I listen to at least a couple of sermons of his a day. I also do a weekly Bible Study with a friend based on watching a sermon before we meet/I set half a dozen questions on the content and we discuss at the next session. I have learned SO much from him and of course his own reputation for integrity of personal character is such a reassuring base to put my confidence in his teaching. Thank u Pastor MacArthur. Blessings Nancy
@*Healing+Grace* Amen! This church is full of scandal. In HIS church, it is okay to beat women and children and sexually assault them. His disdain for women and children is palpable even though Jesus treated women with respect even the woman caught in adultery. He blessed little children and even said that if someone harmed one of His little ones it would be better for him or her to put a millstone around their neck and throw themselves into the deepest part of the sea.
I am so very appreciative for sound teachers such as John McArthur, Paul Washer, Voddie Baucham, others. Sound biblical teachers are so rare these days.
I agree! It has taken us 5 years and 3 churches later to find the church we are presently attending. Our pastor teaches biblical truth and does not compromise the Word of God. It was like finding an oasis in a dry land.
Thank you. I watched this KNOWING the title would not bear out as truth. I found Pastor MacArthur quite by accident on TH-cam over 2 years ago, and was not looking for salvation specifically but, watched him and realized that he was the first Pastor I have EVER believed. He brought me to Christ. My BS detector is FULLY developed and I KNEW he is a real man of God. THEN I found out that Grace Community Church is 8 miles from my house! Anyway, he doesn't know me but no matter. He is a modern day Disciple, if that's the right title other than Pastor, and I am eternally grateful for his faithful adherence to the word and his deadly serious preaching of the truth. I am as grateful for the fear I feel as I am for the hope.

@@MandyAltamirano...I admired Pastor John MacArthur until I recently heard about the horrific treatment of one of their members, Eileen Gray, when she reported abuse at the hands of her husband, David (David also abused their children mentally, physically, and sexually). I looked into the accusation, and it's true. Mind you, the case goes back 20ish years ago, but her husband is in jail serving 21 years to life for his crimes, so her claims had merit, because David admitted to the charges and the court found him guilty -- and, quite frankly, she and her children will live with the scars of what happened for the rest of their lives. Also, David had a position at the church working with children, so this isn't a matter to be taken lightly. Anyway, Eileen went to Grace Community Church for counseling initially, but they failed her. They added insult to injury BIG TIME by blaming her for what was happening and telling HER to repent! The gaslighting and victim blaming is what I'd expect from a cult, such as Scientology -- not from GCC nor from Pastor John MacArthur. I lost respect for him after reading and hearing about their treatment towards her and pray that he, and others at GCC, will repent of their sinful attitude towards Eileen Gray. The seeming lack of remorse and Christian charity in this matter is beyond unsettling.
Absolutely awesome! My favorite Bible teacher Justin Peters interviewing my Sunday school pastor Phil Johnson defending my senior pastor John MacArthur. It doesn't get better than that!
@@Locomedic1 Roys did an interview with a gentleman that Bible thumping wing nut.. put up about things spoken now and when I watched the whole video it was about a seminary student raping a girl and MacArthur and others denounced it.' Saiko wood. A candid conversation with Julie Roys!!'
I know John and his family, and they are the most caring, humble people I know of. As a Korean foreign graduate student I came to this country in 1982 for further studies, and ever since I tasted his great preaching I woke up at 4 every morning just to listen to him preach. I always thought and still do that America has been great because it has a great man like John MacArthur. I respect and appreciate him and his ministry the most. If anyone criticize him and his family, may God deal with you severely as God dealt with those children who mocked God's servant Elisha in the Old Testament.
It is so sad that "Christians" feel the need to attack ministers of God's Word. Satan wants to destroy the work of true saints. Those who believe such accusations, need to check the condition of their hearts. God has used John MacArthur in a mighty way. I have listened to him for over 40 years and have learned so much about Who God is and how He wants me to live my life. I thank God for the ministry He has given to this faithful servant. May He continue to bless this wonderful ministry.
Jesus NEVER took salary. Nor did the Apostles. Paul was an itinerant preacher and accepted donations. MacArthur needs to repent along with all paid "pastors" and hit the streets preaching the gospel, giving away all his money. That is what I and several others have done.
@@PR-cq4zc 1 Corinthians 9:13-15 Pauls speaks on this very topic! those proclaiming the gospel (Pastors) should get their living by the gospel. That is the right of every preacher with Paul he willingly gave up that right as the passage states. So you shouldn't be telling preachers to repent for taking salaries when they are meant to be taking salaries for preaching the word. Now if you want to speak about the amount that is appropriate that's a whole different topic. Here are the verses for reference "Do you not know that those who are employed in the temple service get their food from the temple, and those who serve at the altar share in the sacrificial offerings? 14 In the same way, the Lord commanded that those who proclaim the gospel should get their living by the gospel.
Sure. I will treat an iterant missionary who preaches to true gospel to lunch, as I have often done. I gratefully accept donations when offered. But to pay someone's yearly salary, including air conditioned office, car, health ins, etc. is ludicrous. Give the money God gives you to help the needy.
I started listening to JM and I thought I was a Christian and believe I was, but listening to him one the list 3or 4 years I had to examine myself to see if I was of the faith, I prayed called out to the Lord I then repented, and faithfully walk with Him gladly thank the Lord Jesus Christ for JM and grace to you.🙏🏻
My story as well Erika! Thank you for posting your experience. For me JM has helped my understanding and ability to apply it to my life! My husband (since '65) is the other person who watches JM and we discuss his broadcasts all the time. So have many of my friends and family who watch too. Yvonne
I don't know about you. But my experience in the use of the label "Christian" doesn't separate it from any other false label the world uses to mistakenly identify things. What happens in my daily experience is I hear all these annoying people trying to get my attention with their insults and derogatory remarks. I hear the word "punk" a lot (one of the reasons I stopped going to church. Thought it was supposed to be a place of refuge to get away from that crap.) It seems if they find something in particular that produces the negative effect they desire then they find joy in that and get repetative with it. But, anyway, the term Christian only comes up in rotation when other words have failed to stick or that I haven't understood them to be representational of anything I'm actually doing or that's really happening. That is to say, I don't use these terms to make agreements with other people about anything. But, Christian is usually offered as a more agreeable alternative to these other slanders (or flattery, when the insults aren't working - as if it was really less disrespectful to offer what may be considered a better title or term of suggestion when it's still someone else trying to act like they can tell me about myself being what I am?) And seemingly under the threat that if it isn't accepted then the attempt to continue to identify me according to one of these other less favorable false terms will resume. So, it's kinda like a temptation to agree with the world about what it means for me to be who I am in order to get them off my back, which I refuse to do. I mean, if I'm a Christian then do I have a Christian behind that Christian feces comes out of? (Didn't use the words I usually make that expression with which are usually considered "profane") Never been much on naming turds, but I really don't see how that's anything different than whatever else this bogus world is made of.
I am so thankful for your ministry. My parents started their ministry in the 1980’s & continued at a Baptist church in Texas until the 2000’s. My dad passed in 2011. He wasn’t just my dad he was also my pastor, counselor & friend. I was so thankful when my mother directed me to John McArthur & have followed him ever since. So thankful for his solid, truthful & never wavering teachings from the Word.
I recently wrote letters to more than ten of my favorite pastors. John Macarthur and Grace to You are the only ones that not only responded but also sent a GIFT. They responded to my questions with two books and they have been EXCELLENT resources to my questions. I have not heard back from everyone but I have heard from most. To include Steve Brown who responded to my email and messages even BEFORE my letter went out. I ended up not even needing to ail a letter to Steve Brown. I must say that Grace to You and John Macarthur have been amongst the most generous of all. Everyone has been kind, insightful, prayerful and more but Grace to You responded above and beyond!
He's one who preches from the bible I'm a addict and I'm in recovery now and every video I watch I end up in tears and I wish I could see a sermon at his church but I don't have a way so I love his videos and l feel the holy spirit when I watch him I could care less if he spent a million a day who cares,, care about the good he does, heck I'm in tears right now and I don't have crap to My name My addiction has taken everything but I I know I'm blessed because I'm alive and I pray that I'll fall in love and be normal an listening to John gives me hope so that's worth a million in its self ty John hopefully I will be able to see your church someday !!!
many people don't look with clarity/discernment into John's teaching, I have. I've been led to listen to John's teaching since the 1970's with great attention. God has been GOOD to me (a sinner) for many years and I know this man better than some who see him daily. Praise God for His direction in the Holy Spirit.
Exactly how everyone felt about Ravi Z .... Ravis sin wasn’t his appetite and preying on vulnerable women ... His sin was pride, over indulgence and becoming unapproachable and making a profit off of the gospel ... which is different then making a decent wage....
I've studied for many years, and check out all preachers I can find. The Word instructs us to "ask questions", confirm, and read the Word diligently. Pastor John appears to mislead, in my opinion, however, he speaks well and is likeable, to me. It would benefit you to look more deeply. For instance, if "lord" means Ba'al, and "God" is also of pagan origin -- why do preachers not Teach the Actual NAME of our Creator & Savior? Just one thing I study & wonder about, because they are "Set-apart" Names for a Reason.
@@beppiek A decent wage is very different to folks. It's relative to the perception of each. Copeland's planes are included in his own definition of a decent wage. Ever see his "home" ... or John's?
@@beppiek I personally never felt that way about Ravi, he appeared to downplay the important matters of salvation. Maybe he was feeling the guilt of his own sin and knew he wasn't above reproach.
i have serious problems with the mark of the beast thing. my understanding of this is that if someone takes that mark after that they will not ever have a desire to repent its gone. they will not care to repent or have a desire to come to the lord. this is a serious error that makes me question this man what other errors are there
@@SexGodsWife since when did the Word of God become the word of Calvin? Calvinism teaches contrary to scripture: 1 Tim. 4:10 ... who is the savior of all men and especially of those who believe. That does not mean “all kinds of men” as Calvinism teaches. John 5:24 ... WHOEVER hears my Word and believes Him who sent me has eternal life. Calvinism teaches the exact opposite of scripture.
From Philippines we fully support Dr. John MacArthur whole heartedly. Praying for his ministry that stands for God's Truth and exposing false Doctrines. From our Church here in GMA, Cavite (Charity And Faith Christian Church) wholeheartedly thank Dr. John MacArthur, GTY, Justin Peters, Phil Johnson, RC Sproul, Steve Lawson and many more. Hope we can meet you also 😊 God bless. ❤❤❤
so, you have den ied the catholic faith in order to follow the domonic doctrine of Calvinism..?? - you should not reduce the living God to a Moloch-god... thye little opet idol of determinism... very very faithful to God's Word... of course...
Have you checked that I put "our church" in the comment? Are you reading? Or just simply browsing? And at the end part I also used the word "we" in meeting them hopefully. So what are you trying to point out in your reply?
The integrity of Pastor John is unquestionable. He is a preacher of the truth. I have listened to him for years and he goes right down the line of the Bible. I love the fact that he stands for what he believes as not of the popular culture today.
@healinggrace5117 Jesus is the one who asked that question with an intention to reveal the state of the heart of the rich man to himself. That was a once off incident. It won't happen again but if he would have a strong conviction to five up his wealth, I am more than sure that he would do it with a twinkling of an eye.
If this guy on the video with Justin is giving us the correct information. I don’t think John is living this lavish lifestyle. I would have the same, and believe me I know how to give back. I realize I can never out give God! God, blesses us with his riches. Do you know what John gives back to further the kingdom of God?????
you must be joking !! OK so two MacArthur sycophants ignore that MacArthur controls his organisation, that nepotism rules and millions are passed each year to family members, that he owns outright in the US alone three homes ... They totally ignored investigations into the awarding of degrees without proper verification and record keeping as well as the bullying and intimidation that was found to be rife among students and particularly staff in MacArthur's organisation.. A God forsaken place and a God forsaken organisation !! A God forsaken man !!
@@jwehrli6 Trying to dig up more dirt on Pastor MacArthur, are you? You will have to face God for that when your life is over on this earth. Think about that. Some people live on this planet as though they will never die and have to answer for their wrongs toward others! It makes me wonder if they even believe in Christ Jesus. Don't mess with God, the creator of everything and everyone. Think about that seriously.
Thank you, Justin and Phil, for clarifying the differences between the prosperity ministries and the lavish lifestyles of their leaders and the lifestyle of John MacArthur. Pastor MacArthur is an upstanding Minister of the Gospel who will long be revered even when he no longer is able to preach.
John MacArthur has been such a blessing to me and my husband for the past 35 years.His biblically sound teachings have helped us grow in our walk with the Lord. What a faithful man of God he is and we are grateful for his ministry!
@@billybobbobson3797 no the lord says a man must not divorce his wife and if a wife divorced she must remain unmarried. Only exception was to the Jews for fornication Greek word porneia and that is only engagement period befor the lord joins the two as one flesh. Example as in Joseph going to put marry away befor he married her because he found her to be with child but angel stoped him. The marriage covenant is until death. Paul said only death will free a woman to remarry. Study harder
@@billybobbobson3797 adultery is not even grounds to divorce and remarry. Read Hosea. The lord commanded us to forgive one another if we seek forgiveness from him. Divorce and remarriage is ultimate unforgivness with no hope to be reconciled.
@@billybobbobson3797 our marriage represents the covenant the lord has with his people. Divorce and remarriage shows Christ throwing away Israel. Our lord is a lord of Agape love and reconciliation.
You are right, wealth isn't sin but it is easy for the rich to fall. I'm not accusing anyone, I'm just worried that rich men will start to love their life on earth more. Personally I don't want to be rich, I always want to depend on God for everything.
Exactly, David was rich, Abraham was rich, Solomon was rich but they prospered BECAUSE the Lord blessed them. They loved God, not mammon. The love of money is the root of all evil. The love of it, not the having of it!! Amen!
Wealth gained by famous preachers becomes a stumbling block to others. Everyone starts thinking that can become rich through the Gospel and start turning the church into a marketplace.
Well I think he has because the way they get that wealth is dishonest and they’re living in sin with it. It’s one thing to be blessed and have money and use it to glorify God and since you have much more to use it for some things you enjoy. Most people who accuse that person hate pastors or preaching or are jealous and want to have wealth themselves. It’s another thing to lie and preach heresies and abuse people and get money from them and manipulate and then use that to buy things they never use and don’t need only to perpetuate more heresy and sin.
@@SlaveofChrist1 that's true. If you look into most prosperity preachers use of money they get through their "ministry" you will find only a few token outreaches which are generally small and relatively inexpensive to manage. These appear to be just for showing that they are at least doing something for others. But the majority is spent on multi million dollar jets and fancy cars or boats or lavish houses and reinvesting in their "ministry" to expand their reach and encourage more people to give.
@@mareefranceszarmaos8409 there's really no way to compare anything with the truth. Nothing compares to it. It doesn't mean anything about what it's not, but only what it is; so, comparing it to something else that it isn't provides absolutely no insight. It's also a false comparison or the premise suggested for the comparison is contrived so that you would be acting like something else about it just to suppose that's what was being compared. I'm not you. So, if I'm the truth or of that truth, if I'm really me and it's true, I really wouldn't be able to compare it with you. Me not being who you are doesn't really mean anything about me being who I am. Or, the fact of me being it is not derived from whatever it is that you are that I'm not. Otherwise, I would depend on knowing the idea of what you are (or whatever I think you are) to even gain the context for what I thought about myself. And that's just why it could never be true. Because things that we think about ourselves aren't true. God thinks better things of us than we ever could anyway, so we should just be thinking of Him. :) Peace.
John macarthurs teachings from the 70's are timeless indeed, they opened my eyes. I read them trembling about my own sins and i continue reading and listening to them. That man is a solid teacher.
Greetings beloved of God. In this instance the Gospel was not under threat by the government. Rather it was human life and the appropriate response was to follow the guidelines of the governmental and health authorities as prescribed by the bible. Going to a building can't save and is overrated by many, especially when we consider that our bodies is the dwelling place of God's spirit. Not forsaking the assembling of yourselves can be done virtually as well physically. If you want to know what is persecution talk to christians in china, iran, iraq, india, etc.
@@nicktorea4017 Greetings beloved of God. I got that distinct impression from statistics that show 500 000 plus people are dead as well as experiences that were provided by the now deceased, the dying, the suffering, the post suffering and those who have lost loved ones from the pandemic. But as John said lets go to church because only a very few will die.
@@nicktorea4017 Are you aware that this number is a conservative figure and in reality it could be more. In some cases people died before getting tested. But i digress, suicide is condemned in the bible but yet you seem supportive of it. This situation with the pandemic will continue to be drawn out because of the lack of unity on the way forward. As a divinely inspired writer once said: "my people perish because of a lack of knowledge".
I love Dr. John McArthurs preaching even though they are accusing him speaking bad about him. I will continue to listen to his preaching. Because he is teaching the truth. May God richly bless his ministry exceedingly abundantly.
John MacArthur knowingly teaches from and promotes a lying Jesus bible. In his study bibles He correctsxtgevlie but stood with that. Can a lying Jesus be God? Can he be the way the truth and the life? Can he be the perfect sinless sacrifice?? Can he be trusted? In John 7:8, he tells his brothers I am not going to the feast. No. Not me, not going. My time has not yet come. He waits and then goes. Liar! His brothers would have been surprised to see him there. Jesus actually said I am not going up yet to the feast. No. Not now, not yet. He waits and then goes. No problem. I pray all who honor the lying Jesus will repent. See: Look What's Missing even in Revelation. Deadly Translation NKJV.

Love John, been listening since 1978. At that time John, J Vernon McGee, David Hocking, Chuck Smith, Walter Martin, Chuck Swindall, etc., were pretty much the only solid teachers on the radio station I listened to. These guys blessed me so much, I remember sending a check to Word for Today, and they sent it back with a little note, "Thank you for you generous gesture, please use this money to support your local Church" Those were the days.
I like McGee. He didn't pull no punches on sin. And Swindol was an educated man who gave ya something to think about. I'm sure I've heard the others but I enjoyed The guy whose name escapes me who was really savvy on the end times and Greek an Hebrew. Well there were 2 actually C. Missler and another. Adrian Rodgers was good too on that station.
@1satisfiedmind Those 6 ministers are champions of mine. Each had a historical position. Chuck Swindol was my pastor for 15 years and I was under great teachiing.
Ilove John too man he's my pastor&ilive in Dallas but I tune into all of his sermons EVERY CHANCE I GET BECAUSE HES THE ONE I HEAR BECAUSE THE LORD HAS MY EAR PEALED TOO HIM!❤
Ministry is by nature a family business. If his wife did not support him, he would fail. If he was not able to raise his children in a godly manner John McArthur would be disqualified from the ministry in accordance with scripture. His children and children in law being involved in the church is not an indictment it is a commendation. Personally I don't know enough about his ministry apart from youtube content to make any judgement of his lifestyle or his ministry impact. But 52 years without proven scandal? Most modern preachers can't claim 52 weeks scandal free!
They want him to run it like Lot, Abraham’s nephew, who even if he’s said to have been righteous, didn’t seem to have the buy in of his wife, sons, daughters, and sons in law. If a man is held in high esteem and followed wholeheartedly, by those nearest to him especially in the things of God, he’s a blessing from God.
@Warren Goss and??? His net worth is not all that impressive if you compare it to secular authors of the same publishing profile. I have no problem with his income. Nor should anyone. It is only his stewardship and actions in the body of believers that are public . His finances are not. I don't even always agree with is doctrines but unless we can fault his conduct on firmer grounds than he wrote books an Christians bought it, there is no valid complaint
@@paulrobinson9318 are you for real? 😂 So attacking a heresy which is in contrast with God's Word the Bible is counteracted with fake news about a person's ministry and integrity? 🤣 Get a life man.
waiting for the heretic to be muted like all those who preach against THE HOLY SPIRIT and The Baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other Tongues. ravi zecharias and many jewish rabbis left - macarthur, charles gallup and the others are on my list! They are tools of satan to keep believers weak, impressed by the smooth talk and deceived into ignorance of their AUTHORITY IN THE LORD JESUS. If you follow them you will perish with them - Isaiah 9:16
@Violett Fem We are to judge the true and the false from their fruits. What are the fruits of those who follow macarthur's teachings? What I see are believers who are VERY WEAK IN THE FAITH OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. They are clueless about walking as He walked having a PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP with the FATHER. They have FORM OF RELIGION but Deny The Power so they aren't lead to heal the sick, cast out demons and raise the dead. We are to AVOID THEM - 2Timothy 3:5. The POWER referred to in the scripture is the same word for POWER referred to by The LORD in Acts 1:8 and Luke 24:49, in the Greek. The manifestation of The Power was seen in Acts 2, which was the BAPTISM of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other Tongues. I am not sure if macarthur preaches REPENTANCE as a precondition to Salvation. (First part of Acts 2:38. Read from verses 36-39). That will bring a person to the place of Adam, who was created (not a Son of God) without sin. Such a person is not a Temple of the Holy Spirit with the Spirit of The LORD dwelling in the Person - 1Corinthians 3:16, 6:19. They do not have the Mind of Christ or The Power to do His Works. They interpret the "will" of The LORD through their reasoning which is declared IMPOSSIBLE to understand spiritual truth - Romans 8:5, 1Corinthians 2:9-16. GOD is Spirit - John 4:24. You HAVE TO BE BORN AGAIN OF THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD to be one with Him. A person who ONLY TRULY REPENTS but cannot follow up on the other TWO parts of SALVATION - if they repent on their deathbed or someone prays for their forgiveness under John 20:23, will not go to hell but will have no Authority to walk in The Authority of GOD on the earth. The LORD walked as a man ANOINTED with The HOLY Spirit - Acts 10:38. The Father was IN Him - John 10:30-39. His Spirit therefore was Holy and Of The Father GOD - 1Timothy 3:16. His Soul was still of Adam and He was in sinful flesh - Romans 8:3. He had the Spirit without measure. He controlled His Soul by obeying The Father in Him in all He did - John 5:30. (satan at the time He walked on the earth before overcoming death, was not defeated. The LORD had Authority to defeat satan because He was also the Son of Man John 5:27). In Romans 1:3-4, we see Him overcoming death, completely defeating satan and becoming The SON of GOD seated at The Right Hand of The Father with Power - Ephesians 2:6. This is why He said that we should rejoice that He was going back to The Father in a place of POWER and Authority as GOD with complete Victory and darkness vanquished. He would no longer be a man with the Spirit of GOD in Him and anointed with The HOLY Spirit, while satan was yet to be defeated on the earth by His Sacrifice for our sins and the sins of all creation. In 1John 4:17 we are told we are just like Him on this earth. He also told us that we would do greater things than He did because satan was no longer with power, the power satan had, when The LORD Jesus walked the earth, before He overcame death and became The Son of GOD with Power - John 14:12. We have to recognize, call forth and implement that VICTORY in our every situation- bodies, other people affecting our space etc. It is only our ignorance that can allow a fully defeated enemy to have access to our space with his nature to kill, steal and destroy - Hosea 4:6, John 10:10. macarthur is a heretic because he does not preach the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other Tongues with the Power of The HOLY Spirit, dwelling in the Believer who becomes a Temple of The HOLY Spirit - 1Corinthians 3:16, 6:9.

I do respect/admire brothers ans sisters who stand for the the faith, who lived and live it out from the Apostles to people like Mcarthur, Johnson, Peters, and others I personally know, who are examples, and I certainly do not worship them, and neither does this brother who wrote the comment. We simply see how the Lord worked, and is working in clay vessels, and we witness the submission and yielding to the Holy Spirit and this keeps the body strong. "Iron sharpens iron, and one man sherpens one another". Prov. 27-17. I'm sorry to hear you have this attitude .
@@stefankivungi8286 I totally agree with you. When we put people on a pedestal instead of giving GOD the glory, we make an idol out of them, giving them elevated status because of their amazing oratory skill and presentation which is given only to further the kingdom. It is within our sinful nature to corrupt the depiction of their gift and view them as more than human. This happened with Ravi zacharias and many other men throughout history and has brought shame to the name of JESUS. Though these men represent Christ, they are still only forgiven sinners being sanctified daily. They still seek the LORD even though sin tries to rise up & overtake them and return them to following the world and the power of Satan again as they once did before they were saved. True faithful servants of GOD will not willingly continue in sin like Ravi zacharias did. They may sin but they will not continue to. Only sinners continue to sin willingly for it is their nature and they are still alienated from GOD for they are spiritually dead.
@@Truthseeker-2023DA You both do not understand what it means to put somebody on a pedestal. You need to check what it means in the dictionary and in the bible.
Very good interview that clearly answers the Roy allegations for folks that may not be familiar with John MacAuthur . I have listened to John since early 1980’s and he is clearly the most influential pastor of my life. I have been blessed by many free books and 1,000s of his sermons that are faithfully teaching the Word of Gods verse by verse . John has been faith to the Lord, his family and his church. Imperfect but constantly serving the Lord.
OK so two MacArthur sycophants ignore that MacArthur controls his organisation, that nepotism rules and millions are passed each year to family members, that he owns outright in the US alone three homes ... They totally ignored investigations into the awarding of degrees without proper verification and record keeping as well as the bullying and intimidation that was found to be rife among students and particularly staff in MacArthur's organisation.. A God forsaken place and a God forsaken organisation !! A God forsaken man !!
Absolutely agreed. This man has faithfully served God at Grace Community for over half a century. And that's all these slandering naysayers have? Please. Pastor MacArthur's earned every penny and more. And if this aging servant of God needed my seat in first class, I'd be delighted to give it up and thank HIM for allowing me to bless him.
I would imagine there’s a concerted effort to discredit John MacArthur because he is keeping the church open during the pandemic. The evil one wants churches closed and Biblical preaching silenced.
Bingo. Christians will be accused and turned in by other "Christians" as persecution increases. These accusers are not protecting the church or Christ's name but cowering to culture to gain the praise of men.
There are not enough words for me to use to express my gratitude for this video!!!!!!!!!! I love John MacArthur's teaching and preaching. I love his stand for biblical truth; my soul is thrilled to hear him take a stand on "hot" topics. His books are so worth the read. I won't list every book he has written but A Tale of Two Sons should be read by every human being...I've never heard anyone describe God's love that way. Thank you, Justin, for this refutation of lies. I couldn't line up his preaching with those lies. Now I can refer people to this video if the need arises.
I was just sent a screenshot of a tweet from Julie Roys that (I believe) she posted this morning. Julie began saying yesterday that I deleted her comments that she was posting on this video. She publicly accused me of doing something I emphatically did not do. Others began posting questions asking me why I deleted her comments and saying that I had something to hide or was afraid of the truth. I did not see her first comment(s?) - and still have not - much less deleted them. She posted another last night that I did see. I responded to her. Now, apparently, according to the screenshot sent me she is once again accusing me of deleting her comments. She tweeted, "@JustinPetersMin says he didn't delete 2 of my comments yesterday & I took him his word. However, I left this comment on his TH-cam thread 10 min ago. Now it's gone. Apparently Justin wants to shield people from info that doesn't match @Phil_Johnson's narrative. Sad." In the one comment from her last night that I did see, Julie requested that I interview her to give her side of the story. I told her that I did not delete any of her comments and never even saw any that she left. At the time, there were over 2400 comments and so it is quite reasonable to assume that I could not possibly read them all. I can't. Did she leave comments? She says she did, but I did not see them. I told her in my response that "with a crystal clear conscience before God" I did not see anything from her until the comment to which I was at that moment responding. I also told her that publicly accusing me of something I did not do did not exactly incline me to want to interview her. Call me crazy, but that is the truth. Now, per her tweet I just quoted above she is AGAIN publicly accusing me of hiding or deleting her comments. I have done no such thing. To this very moment the only comment from her that I have seen on my TH-cam channel is the single one to which I responded last night (February 21st). I only hide comments from people who are vulgar or obviously vitriolic and not interested in truth. She is apparently pretty desperate to have me interview her on my youTube channel. I am not going to for the following reasons: 1) I have only interviewed a very few people and the ones I do interview are those with whom I share theological beliefs and convictions. 2) I am not a reporter. I am an evangelist. 3) Julie wants me to interview her so she can give her response to Phil. Julie is free to write whatever she wants to write and, obviously, she does. I interviewed Phil to give him an opportunity to respond to her accusatory article on John MacArthur. "Her side" of the story is presented every time she writes an article. She does not need me to get "her side" of the story out. I have absolutely no desire to serve as a go-between between her and Phil. That's not what I do. Again, I am not a reporter. 4) She has now twice accused me of something I did not do. Rather than try to contact me privately, she publicly accused me of being secretive and trying to hide facts. I just checked my email and I do not have anything from her despite my email address being very public on my website. If she wants me to interview her, publicly accusing me - twice - of something I did not do is not the best way to go about getting a positive response to her requests. Sadly, I am now getting a first-hand taste of the very concerns with her Phil has expressed. What happened to her comments? I do not have the slightest, foggiest idea. I have not blocked her, I have not deleted anything from her. Nothing. For those of you who refuse to believe me, there is likely nothing I can say to change your mind. But, this I know: I care FAR more what God thinks of me than I do anyone else. I know that if I am lying it is to Him that I will one day give an account and that thought terrifies me far more than having to give an account to Julie Roys or anyone else. And, Julie, in case it is me upon whom you are desiring to next set your investigative sights, perhaps I can save you a little trouble. My wife and I live in a 1,500 square foot condo and my salary is 5 figures (and well - well - shy of 6 at that). In full disclosure, I do have two - count them 2! - electric mobility scooters. They are made by Pride Mobility and my particular models are called the GoGo LX (3 wheel model). They have front suspension (soooo posh!) and go from 0 to a blazing 4.4 mph in about 2 seconds flat. It can be see here: www.pridemobility.com/go-go-travel-mobility/go-go-lx-with-cts-suspension-3-wheel/ I have two because one was getting old and the annoying horn wouldn't stop going off on its own. We haven't thrown it away yet - keeping it for spare parts should they be necessary. (Laughter doeth good like a medicine)
@@JustinPetersMin On the very, very serious side. Why do you preach from a lying Jesus bible? John MacArthur, in his study bibles, corrects the lie but does not yell, BLASPHEMY! He allows for the uninspired but older manuscripts, to superceded the Textus Receptus. The Alexandrian manuscripts are used over the Antioch manuscript. Jesus.when He quoted the protphets did not say, Well I think so even though we do not have the original manuscript No. He believed it was the preserved word of God. Mr. Ehrmann said there are too many manuscripts that disagree with each other. God's word is not preserved, because no one can tell which is which. Even Paul warned that letters were sent under his name that were not from him. John warned in 1 John that many anti Christ werecalrrady there among them. We all know that Mr. Ermann's God is to small. But what is our excuse??? The system set up by King James and those asked to translate was brilliant. See: Tares Among the Wheat Sequal video TH-cam. I pray that you stop to think of the seriousness of this!!! Because there are so many translations and supposedly no standard, God's word is mocked. The faith of many a Christian has been shipwrecked. Again, this is very, very serious. Christisn students have been told to choose from among the bibles what to believe. Pastor Peters. Will you not be judged even more strictly than non preachers??? God said He preserved His word . Psalm12:6,7. What do those two verses say in your bible?, I read on a paper cover of an NIV study bible that not all of the truth was in yet. They would publish it as it came in. What BLASPHEMY!!! What greed! Even though Mr. Ehrmann's God is to small, we can see God working He was answering the prayers of men hungering and thirsting for the most accurate word of God. They had suffered under the Roman Catholic Institution for one thousand years. One thousand years of darkness. And at the whim of a pope. God also foreknew that weak little England would one day be an empire where the sun never set. English, the language of international commerce!!! Too good to pass up. The Alexandrian manuscripts do not agree with each other, neither the one from a monestary, nor the Vaticanus from the Vatican basement. That one disagrees with itself about 30 times per page. Video: Tares Among the Wheat Sequal video TH-cam. The Forbidden book video TH-cam. This old video has some American history. Church History: Lamp in the Dark video TH-cam. Wanted to.mke sure that you knew.
@@judyswiderski2682 imagine worrying about this while people are dying and going to hell. Seriously, all of the major Bible translations have slightly different changes. They all preach the same gospel, just with different grammar preferences. People are out there not hearing the gospel and here we are arguing about the differences in the texts. 😐
A couple of day's ago I seen a video from 5 years ago of John MacArthur giving a sermon. That sermon was a blessing to me. Those who don't understand the importance of the Word of God are trying to destroy those who do. Thank you for sharing. Sending prayers!
Love Pastor McArthur.god will judge him at his time of judgement... she needs to worry about what she had to answer for.... I truly believe he’s a great man of God!!!!
@Kim And do you agree with wicked cult leader Mary Baker Eddy's blasphemous belief concerning the blood of Christ? No?? Then WHY are you praising a man who believes identically with her, and says 'there's nothing in his blood that can save us"? Please read chapter 9 in the book of Hebrews, and Leviticus 17. "For the life of the flesh is in the blood and I have given it to you on the altar for the atonement of your souls, for it is the BLOOD that makes atonement by the life." And do you agree with his teaching that we can take the mark and still be saved? Please read Revelation 14. You also seem uninformed of 1 Cor. 5. We are COMMANDED to judge those inside the body.
Thank you so much for Pastor John. I'm so grateful he's on Video. He has taught me things that I'd never known. And changed my heart. Always been a loving Christian. I can't believe I missed Scripture on Elect. Everything is so much clearer and I'm eternally grateful. May God bless and keep you all.
I am thankful that this video was put online. It answered some concerns for me. If John MacArthur goes out and buys a multi-million dollar jet for his private use, I might believe that he is living a "lavish'' lifestyle. When he flies, I think it is in coach with his wife or one of the elders of his church. For many years John went on cruises in Alaska. He taught the Bible three or more times messages a day. That is his idea of a great vacation.
Exactly- look at the wealthy men in the Bible that GOD blessed - Abraham, Isaac, Job, Solomon, David....... AND read Malachi 3:10 - does God keep His Word?
OK so two MacArthur sycophants ignore that MacArthur controls his organisation, that nepotism rules and millions are passed each year to family members, that he owns outright in the US alone three homes ...

John MacArthur is very blessed to have a coworker for the Lord in Phil Johnson. When I worked for another rather large ministry, I saw the importance of faithful coworkers. May God bless this ministry, and may they continue on in the Lord.
Pastor John MacArthur is an outstanding Pastor and Educator of the Gospel. I love his ‘telling it like it is’ style of preaching, and he isn’t “woke” about it either. I am sure there are those who may be irritated with him who are “woke” and would just love it if he would just water down the gospel so they would feel comfortable. Today more than ever, we need more pastors like him that will say what needs to be said, and do what needs to be done.
John MacArthur is so money hungry that they have not even passed the plate for tithes in 10 months. I came out of charismatic teaching at 57 by viewing the Strange Fire Conference and have continued to grow through his expository preaching. God bless Dr. MacArthur!!!!
@@martyroth2994 The thing is the Gospel of the Bible isn't "God wants to prosper you" its " We are all sinners in need of a savior". The prosperity gospel ignores the Gospel of the Bible in favor of pleasing sinners. Having wealth is not a sin but coming to God with the intentions of being prospered instead of being saved from God's wrath is a sin. That is where the criticism of the prosperity gosple comes from.
MacArthur signs his autograph? Has study bibles with his name on it? Has master’s university? Satan offers earthly kingdoms. Don’t be deceived! 2 Corinthians 11:13-15 KJV. ❤️
@ Bonnie Pfeiffer TITHES ❓Old testament law replaced by new testament freewill offerings with a cheerful heart not under compulsion ‼ God bless the wealthy believers who give more to the " CHURCH " than to the IRS ‼ John MacArthur knows that if you keep the law of the tithe you have fallen from grace and are then required to abide by all of the law‼ see Galatians in entirety ‼ Wicked manipulation by misuse of scriptures bordering upon Witchcraft to mind control ignorant " believers " for financial gain rampant today ‼
For God's glory, DR. John MacArthur is one of God's defenders of the truth who has shaken the globe by the powerful proclamation of the true Gospel. So what do you expect? The Devil will try to use available people to ruin his reputation to discourage the lost from hearing his life-giving message of biblical truth.
John uses modern translations from Vatican. He is a deceiver. Are you saved or being saved? 1 Corinthians 1:18 KJV has it right. May God open your eyes. ❤️
@@leia072306 You're a clown. I can "expose" the KJV but I won't, because it's a good translation along with the other good translations. In a debate, I would literally ruin you.

Could you at the same time ask God to tell you that of course there are animals in heaven, spite JM,s openion, thats why I dont listen to him anymore, because he dont know the bibl if he can claim such nonsens. Esajas 11 does not exist in his bible......

John MacArthur lives in my town and I ran into him and his wife coming out of a local restaurant. I thanked him for his teachings since 1980, when I was in the amazing Grace Community Church Jr. High group at the time, and he was so humble. Such a blessed and scholarly man put on this Earth to do God's work.
Be careful. As a general rule most people are gracious and can act humble when you are fawning all over them. You will not discover a person’s true character until you see how they respond when criticized or maligned or under stress.
I think the important thing to remember is that Mr. MacArthur does not need to be defended, he is just the vessel that God uses, everything he does is for the glory of God and the gospel of Christ. Just look at the fruit of his selfless effort.
John Macarthur is blessed because he is obedient to God and preachers / teachers the word the way it is supposed to be taught. It has blessed me and I have grown through his teachings. God bless you John Macarthur.
I live on the outskirts of Columbia, dear Pastor Justin, and had I known you were going to be there last year, I would have asked my Lord to make a way for me to come and hear you preach in person!!! To God be the GLORY!!!💞
Satan's attacks always come the hardest against those who preach the truth. “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account." (Matthew 5:11). I have no doubt that Pastor MacArthur will continue to preach the truth, regardless of the attacks. And they will continue to come, even harder. God will watch over Pastor MacArthur as he continues to preach the Word.
No one is perfect in the knowledge of God's word. 1Cor13:9. We are to preach Jesus Christ and not preach the faults of others. Let the master judge his servants for himself. Those ministries that continue to preach the faults of others should be taken with a pinch of salt. Blowing out somones candle doesn't light your own.
Everyone is persecuted for something. Nobody is more special than anyone else. We all fall short. I still enjoy the teachings, but it really made me wonder when John MacArthur states you can be forgiven for taking the mark of the beast. Sheep in wolves clothing?? Only God really knows. Makes me sick to think about it although I do. I hope this lie doesn't keep someone from coming to Jesus.

Great men?...if it wasn’t for God’s grace and the Doctrine of Election, they’d be toast!!! Literally. There is no such thing as “great men”. No one deserves any “glory” or praise from another mortal man. Only Jesus does. Don’t believe me? Ask Ravi’s victims......
Next up on Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous Preachers: Voddie Baucham, who lives in a 3rd world country and is battling deadly chronic diseases with no health insurance!!! Seriously, God bless you, Brother Peters and your work.
@Warren Goss Yep. Although frankly $1 million is not that much money in this day and age. But with $1 million he should have health insurance. I hope Macarthur will let him recuperate in one of his three houses.
Do you not know that we are not to eat with or bless those who preach another gospel? If we cannot eat with nor bless them, how can we have our face plastered all over their conference info? Yet there is something even more disturbing. God said He preserved His word. Psalm12:6,7. You say He did not! In fact your bible changes those verses I believe. They remove the precious promise. John MacArthur knows clearly that the NASB quotes Jesus in a lie. He simply corrected it, I believe, by saying that some bibles have the words, not yet going. Should he not have said, BLASPHEMY! when he read the lie? Instead he promotes it. Where? In John 7:8 his Jesus tells his brothers I am not going to the feast. Jesus actually said I am not going up yet to the feast. KJB. They both wait and then go to the feast. Which one lied? Your Jesus. He said he was not going. How vile to accuse Jesus of lying!!! Jesus is God. He is coming for His bride. For those who love Him first. He will be second to none, no matter how perfect your deeds are. Revelation 2:1-5. Will you put a man before Him? Will you be more loyal to him than God? If you are truly John Mac's friends are you not to call the man to account? You cannot get more loving than that. To promote the NASB is mind boggling. It was the first to add brackets to cast doubt on God's word. Saying, older manuscripts say such and such. At least they had a semblance of honesty in their deception. They did not say those older manuscripts were inspired. How could they? The Alexandrian manuscripts do not agree with each other. And the Vaticanus disagrees with itself about 30 times per page. See: Tares Among the Wheat Sequal video TH-cam. The Forbidden book video TH-cam. Lamp in the Dark video TH-cam. Simple quick fact check. See: Look What's Missing even in Revelation. Your bible is under God's curse. Deadly Translation NKJV. These volumes of bible translations have made the bible a laughingstock among many, especially former youth chuch attendees. Chose this day whine you will serve. And accept responsibility for it. Interesting side note, see: The Papal Pandemic Interdict.
He’s not a threat to the kingdom of darkness, so while Satan hates him because he was created in the image of God, Satan is likely more disturbed by John MacArthur, Steve Lawson, Phil Johnson, and Justin Peters. None of us are inerrant, and as scripture says “We all stumble in many ways", but for the most part, I believe John MacArthur’s teaching has a lot of meat.
The prosperity gospel is a mystery. It came after the televangelists hooked us into Zionism. There is legalism in it which Martin Luther says is a horizontal relationship to God, not a vertical one.
How many pastors do you know that own three homes? The reasons he gives are hardly justifiable. He has one home for writing books...uh really? He can't use his first home, office or vacation home for writing books? At least now I know why I can't write books, I need another house in the suburbs.

@@Tina-7773 I don't think JMac is necessarily a false teacher or hypocrite. I have been blessed by his teaching over the years and don't know him personally to assess his character. What I believe the facts have shown, owning three houses etc, is that he is not living "above reproach" (1 Timothy 3:2).
I came across John MacArthur in the late 1979's early 1980's. My wife and i were working alone in the highlands of PNG and his teaching cassettes that we listened to that fed us and kept us going. I thank God for raising up John and his ministry.
As far as I know, JM receives a salary set by his church. I am sure he gets royalties from book sales. If he became wealthy by sound investments, then eat your heart out. He is not preying on people.
I agree wealth is not evil. We are to judge the true and the false from their fruits. What are the fruits of those who follow macarthur's teachings? What I see are believers who are VERY WEAK IN THE FAITH OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. They are clueless about walking as He walked having a PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP with the FATHER. They have FORM OF RELIGION but Deny The Power so they aren't lead to heal the sick, cast out demons and raise the dead. We are to AVOID THEM - 2Timothy 3:5. The POWER referred to in the scripture is the same word for POWER referred to by The LORD in Acts 1:8 and Luke 24:49, in the Greek. The manifestation of The Power was seen in Acts 2, which was the BAPTISM of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other Tongues. I am not sure if macarthur preaches REPENTANCE as a precondition to Salvation. (First part of Acts 2:38. Read from verses 36-39). That will bring a person to the place of Adam, who was created (not a Son of God) without sin. Such a person is not a Temple of the Holy Spirit with the Spirit of The LORD dwelling in the Person - 1Corinthians 3:16, 6:19. They do not have the Mind of Christ or The Power to do His Works. They interpret the "will" of The LORD through their reasoning which is declared IMPOSSIBLE to understand spiritual truth - Romans 8:5, 1Corinthians 2:9-16. GOD is Spirit - John 4:24. You HAVE TO BE BORN AGAIN OF THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD to be one with Him. A person who ONLY TRULY REPENTS but cannot follow up on the other TWO parts of SALVATION - if they repent on their deathbed or someone prays for their forgiveness under John 20:23, will not go to hell but will have no Authority to walk in The Authority of GOD on the earth. The LORD walked as a man ANOINTED with The HOLY Spirit - Acts 10:38. The Father was IN Him - John 10:30-39. His Spirit therefore was Holy and Of The Father GOD - 1Timothy 3:16. His Soul was still of Adam and He was in sinful flesh - Romans 8:3. He had the Spirit without measure. He controlled His Soul by obeying The Father in Him in all He did - John 5:30. (satan at the time He walked on the earth before overcoming death, was not defeated. The LORD had Authority to defeat satan because He was also the Son of Man John 5:27). In Romans 1:3-4, we see Him overcoming death, completely defeating satan and becoming The SON of GOD seated at The Right Hand of The Father with Power - Ephesians 2:6. This is why He said that we should rejoice that He was going back to The Father in a place of POWER and Authority as GOD with complete Victory and darkness vanquished. He would no longer be a man with the Spirit of GOD in Him and anointed with The HOLY Spirit, while satan was yet to be defeated on the earth by His Sacrifice for our sins and the sins of all creation. In 1John 4:17 we are told we are just like Him on this earth. He also told us that we would do greater things than He did because satan was no longer with power, the power satan had, when The LORD Jesus walked the earth, before He overcame death and became The Son of GOD with Power - John 14:12. We have to recognize, call forth and implement that VICTORY in our every situation- bodies, other people affecting our space etc. It is only our ignorance that can allow a fully defeated enemy to have access to our space with his nature to kill, steal and destroy - Hosea 4:6, John 10:10. macarthur is a heretic because he does not preach the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other Tongues with the Power of The HOLY Spirit, dwelling in the Believer who becomes a Temple of The HOLY Spirit - 1Corinthians 3:16, 6:9.

I speak in tongues when the Spirit moves me, but it's not all the time. Please study 1Cor 12 more in depth. 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 NKJV There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. [5] There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. [6] And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. [7] But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: [8] for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, [9] to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, [10] to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. [11] But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.
@@flybak40 you are the problem with much of the anti Christ people who imagine they are followers of The LORD Jesus when they DO NOT HAVE A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.

The Satanist, globalist, anti-American mega-tech types HATE the Lord and the men/women who preach, speak and study fervently THE Gospel of Jesus Christ! Why? Because those of us that do our best to live by His infallible Word WILL NOT WORSHIP THEM! We WILL NOT worship their EVIL political party (maybe BOTH these days!) not them, their gadgets (which I really enjoy, but do not worship!) their governments, nor the ‘environment’. As for me I will worship He Who created the environment, for us to CARE FOR as we come to the end of the LAST generation!
@@paulrobinson9318 I am glad you are open to suggestions. Was it not you who condemned mr MacArthur with your own enigmatic post? You made an accusation, it wasn’t to him, and you didn’t even back it up. Regarding my post, I challenged you to do as the Bible asks. If you have a problem with a Christian brother, behaving as you are is not the way. You concluded he is heretical and that somehow makes him a non-brother which justifies you to treat him like a non believer. That is a serious accusation when many view him to be a brother. I’m well aware of false prophets and the warnings against them but I point you back to your original enigmatic post. You asserted with no substance. You speak about another believer behind his back, and you aren’t seeking elders to intervene. You claim to know enough about the Bible to determine he is a heretic, I apologize for assuming you knew enough from the same Bible regarding how to address conflict. Alas, I was mistaken. I shall not do so again. Romans 14:1. Accept those whose faith is weak without quarreling over disputable matters. Do not rebuke an older man [or, elder] harshly, but exhort him as if he were your father.” (1 Timothy 5:1 Matthew 18:15-17 “If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector James 4:11 Do not speak evil against one another, brothers. The one who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks evil against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge. John 15:17 These things I command you, so that you will love one another
@@paulrobinson9318 I didn't read your reply. I said what I needed to say and frankly am not interested in your defensive argument against what I observed. You have a beef with an individual and you choose to publicly belittle him. There is no honor in that. Have a good day.
I LOVE that you used a Star Wars clip! Especially that one! Love John MacArthur - he’s my favorite Bible teacher. While no man is perfect, he speaks sound, orthodox, Biblical truth in a world governed by deceit and delusion, so unbelievers and false believers want to tear him down.
Wow, this was informative but it breaks my heart that you guys even had to reveal these details about Dr. MacArthur, GTY, your families, etc. because of these recent baseless and slanderous attacks. Thank you for your courage and your commitment to be transparent as ministers of the Gospel.
Again, stewardship and legacy is not an indication of extravagance, it is just a biblical principal. Why is there a need to defend this man's Godly wisdom as promised in the book of James?
Thank you Justin for this interview!You will always have jealousy and hatred towards those who truly live a holy life !We respect dr Mc Arthur here in South Africa!
I am glad you did this video so that people can see that John Macarthur is a humble man of God that gives way more than he gets. I know that I have sent off for some of his books and if a person can't afford a donation, then they have actually given some of them for free. Keep spreading God's word brother Macarthur, you have been a blessing in my, and my husband's lives.
@Adam H I checked out your comment and I did see where his son Mark and his Business Partner Cravette were implicated in Nondisclosure of how the Funds will be used to pay themselves. I can't find if they have been convicted. I know that they have been Ordered to pay out $16,000,000 to their Clients. These type of things happen daily in the Financial Investment World. Don't get me to go down that Rabbit Hole. But I will say that doesn't have to do with John's Sermons and his very sound Biblical Doctrine. I am glad my parents weren't Judged because of my actions in my teens and early twenties. I wasn't stealing but I was a Hellion. I was raised correctly but I rebelled as God knew I would. I am thankful for every whipping I got. So I don't think John is responsible for his son's actions. And I checked and Mark is not involved in the Church on the Board and both don't have control of the Purse of Grace Church. If John Writes Books he has a right as any Author to make a dollar. If he spends his time in Ministry of the Church like being over a Funeral and goes to the Hospitals and homes to visit and comfort his flock he deserves to get a check. It is the Deacon Board that decides how much he gets paid. John MacArthur is Sound in what he preaches and teaches. He give good direction. He preaches the Milk and the Meat. That is harder to find every day.
OK so two MacArthur sycophants ignore that MacArthur controls his organisation, that nepotism rules and millions are passed each year to family members, that he owns outright in the US alone three homes ... They totally ignored investigations into the awarding of degrees without proper verification and record keeping as well as the bullying and intimidation that was found to be rife among students and particularly staff in MacArthur's organisation.. A God forsaken place and a God forsaken organisation !! A God forsaken man !!
I worked in Christian publishing for 8 years. Authors (especially celebrity authors) often get significant numbers of free copies of their books to give away. It’s called marketing. Keep in mind it cost JM personally nothing and allows him to continue to promote himself to give books away free to those who can’t afford to pay. It’s good publicity.
Truth hits vital nerves. John MacArthur doesn’t shy away from preaching the gospel-preaching unvarnished truth will have its detractors. Thx for the interview!
calvinism is unvarnished truth??? proclaiming that God is a reckless tyrant, responsible for the sin of the sinners?? people don't cease astonishing me
@@silveriorebelo8045 the Christian tent is big enough to include many varieties of Christian theology-I have tried on the big four: RCatholicism, Pentecostalism, Eastern Orthodoxy, but Calvinism resonates
Macarthur sells books and other things outside of his church ministry ! Should he live in a shack? Would that make everyone happy? Who cares? Get lives ! God blesses men that do his work. And why shouldn't he have his son on the board?
@@leia072306 I see you still swinging around all the comments with your clueless accusations. Do you enjoy being so clueless? It will help you to listen to some solid biblical teachings from John MacArthur
Seek first the Kingdom of God and ALL the rest will be ADDED unto you. So if John is seeking the Kingdom AND the rest gets added unto him please can someone explain where the problem is?
John MacArthur bought his Santa Clarita home back in the 1980's, and obviously like everything else, has appreciated over time. The other two locations are for family and privacy and they were at very normal home costs. Anyway, ajar John MacArthur earns from his books and other private earnings, is his own business. John MacArthur does not live the prosperity lifestyle by a long shot ...
When McArthur condemned the so-called prosperity preachers, everyone joined him in throwing stones at them and quoting many scriptures on 'Godliness' and 'treasures in heaven'. When McAthur's lifestyle is questioned the same people suddenly remember and come up with scriptures on why prosperity is ok😂😂😂. Liars and pseudo-non-prosperity preachers!
@@romans1478 wait is John MacArthur asking his congregation to help him buy a brand new jet? Or does he just own some homes that are now worth millions becuase of the housing market in CA? My parents just sold their 2 bedroom house for 700k. You're just talking out of your rear end dude. And don't even understand what the prosperity gospel is. 🤷♂️
@@bornokevelyn Please don't question Christianity or Jesus. That's not the way for us to go forward. People will always fail us, accept imperfect people, love them but always keep your eyes on Jesus, who lived died, and rose up for you. Live for Jesus, stay in a good, simple, word teaching church. Jesus loves you.
@@bornokevelyn If you question your belief, you were never a Christian to begin with. I don't mean that in a snarky way either. God brings you to repentance when you are born again, you cannot jump in and out of being a "Christian". Once you are born again, there is no going back, otherwise you are a false convert. 1 John 2:19 explains this.
This breaks my heart. I am so pleased by you both who would testify to Dr, MacArthur's integrity. Why do people find purose in defaming another, yet, I'm well aware of the attempts by some to slander men of God. I found myself tossed to and fro by modern teachings until I was confused. So I ask God to help me search for true bible teachers and I found John Mac and John Piper. I have realized greater peace sitting at their feet. God bless you both for, Eph 5:11

There’s a Pastor In Northern Ireland Belfast who’s been preaching the Gospel for over 60 years in the same church 😊 Dr James McConnell of Belfast Metropolitan Tabernacle.
THank you for doing the interview! I am extremely grateful for MacArthur's ministry and yours! He has stood firm on the Word of God all these years and has tried to warn of the dangerous trends in the evangelical world. If only more people would listen!
Listening to Pastor John MacArthur brings me joy. As a true present truth messenger of God his no nonsense straight forward approach to God’s word is powerful (always on point) and presented in such a way that even a newcomer to the faith can understand the Bible. He truly by God’s grace has been a blessing to many. I so enjoy listening to your podcast. Thank you and God bless.
Johnson: “The truth is, not one of John MacArthur’s kids is on staff at Grace Church, not one.” Several minutes later he announced that MacArthur’s eldest son is on the board of GTY, supposedly purely and simply for the purpose of preserving MacArthur’s legacy. Johnson: “We want to make sure that someone still has a hand in the ministry and has the families best interests at heart.. We have made it a point to keep at least one member of John’s family on the board at all times. At one point, two of his sons were on the board, Mark and Matt, right now its Matt. We intend to keep it that way.” MacArthur’s son is also the treasurer and signs cheques for GTY, apparently due to logistics and convenience since other board members do not live nearby. Johnson is also on the board of GTY. According to Johnson, the board of GTY consists of mostly disinterested parties with no vested interest in the ministry. During the video it emerged that Johnson’s son is also employed by GTY. Johnson also referred vaguely to other employees as “anyone who is related to John”. Johnson confirmed that the financial reports for GTY are not publicly available. The obvious question is: Why are GTY resistant to making their financial information available in the public domain if they have nothing to hide? MacArthurs son-in-law Kory Welch and his companies appear to have received approximately $7,610,399 from Grace to You and The Master’s University between 2003 and 2016. {
Wow, isn't it wonderful? Jesus said, "I will build my church and "keep at least one member of John's sons on board . . . to make sure that someone still has a hand in the ministry and has the family's best interests at heart." I didn't know the church depended so much on MacArthurian flesh to survive and to preserve the pristine legacy of someone like John MacArthur's. WOW! Thanks!!! I'm sure we would never have made it without the MacArthur clan.
I’m confused. You can be a board member and not be staff. I do not see the issue concerning Kory. I would hire those I know versus those I don’t , I would trust them more.
Way to go Julie, the more people like you who rant and rave in your wrath, envy and pride, the more money I am compelled to give to Dr. MacArthur's ministry, and the more sinners that can be saved by his outreach. I have a feeling there are many others who feel this way across the country (I'm from way over in Massachusetts)...it's all very providential in bringing more people to Christ.
To Julie Roys - “He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous, Both of them alike are an abomination to the LORD.” Proverbs 17:15
Jo Ann, Proverbs is one of 6 books of wisdom literature. Proverbs 17 is referring to a partisan judge who takes bribes. Julie Roys is a journalist who should have to prove her charges.

Justin, you did not mention who Phil Johnson is. That's kind of important to this story. For all I know, he is your mechanic. I had to Google him to find out his position (Executive Director, Grace To You)
1) easy to look up. 2) how can you even have a complaint about John MacArthur when you don’t know who Phil Johnson is -- you clearly know nothing about John MacArthur.
Pastor John MacArthur hands down is the theologian of our time. He always seeks to exalt Christ in his preaching and through his lifestyle. He’s strong, courageous and fatherly.
@@leia072306 you seem to be trolling all the comments and posting scripture that you have no idea how to exegete. My advice, learn from John MacArthur, you seriously need help
I have used my computer to listen to RC Sproul and John MacArthur and Justin Peters often and as a Baptist deacon and Christian I feel I have the right Bible Pastors in the world. Thank You and God for his leading to you.
Listening to J.Mac on my local radio station inevitably brought me out of the pentecostal church which we were in when we (my wife and I) were born-again. GTY sent me the book "Truth Endures" and it changed everything! I started buying John's books faithfully and learned leaps and bounds from where I was in the pentecostal system. My spirit aligned with the Holy Spirit and got us on the right track. That in fact naturally lead us to other ministries and pastors such as : R.C, Voodie, Paul Washer, Justin P. They showed us the stark contrast between what they were teaching as opposed to what the likes of TBN is doing. Thanks be to our God, Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit for leading us to truth!
So grateful for pastor John’s life. Pursuing Christ makes so much sense to me after listening to his sermons. If he has served faithfully for these many years, he absolutely deserves what he has. I mean how can one be humble even now. How evil and full of grudge can people get.
For me, personally, I'm always uncomfortable when a pastor is wealthy, but the message and the pastor's CONSISTENCY is what is important. For the sake of argument: if Pastor MacArthur has an unhealthy view of money, that is yet being tempered by the Holy Spirit dwelling within him, that makes him a human being with a sin nature, which is how we ALL are.
Jesus NEVER took salary. Nor did the Apostles. Paul was an itinerant preacher and accepted donations. MacArthur needs to repent along with all paid "pastors" and hit the streets preaching the gospel, giving away all his money. That is what I and several others have done.
@@PR-cq4zc where do you live?! How do you feed yourself? How long have you been preaching? Do you give offerings n donations? Who are your associates? You married? Sound like a soldier deployed at your own expense. I don't think anyone will earn heaven.
@@PR-cq4zc have you never read "a worker is worthy of his wages". So anyone else can be wealthy expect God's people?! When God is the one who "gives power to gain wealth". God blesses his people with wealth. Your thinking Is wrong. Jesus owns it all, he doesn't need a salary.
Toom many unnecessary question. I work and live alone and depend solely on God. Read Luke 14:33. That is what did it for me. I once was wealthy in the world's sight. Now I am rich in God. You should do the same.
Just remember folks, when they decide to give us a choice. Choose option “B” - “release barrabas”. Fulfill your destiny and don’t pause for a moment in your haste to be judgmental.
Thank you to Phil and Justin for clarifying the facts. When a pastor is in receipt of the Holy Spirit Christ's sheep hear His voice. I hear the truth in Pastor John's sermons on very many occasions. I am more than convinced he is one of the most accurate teachers of the Bible today, only because if what he teaches. However, his fan group quotes and postings do sometimes alarm. None of us are above reproach. None of us are perfect in the flesh. Christ knows that, and He chooses His true disciples for good reason at critical times in human history. Pastor John is one of the very few preachers who is teaching essential truth in these End Days. OK, I have had thoughts about the number of suits and ties Pastor John has, but it's not what we own that becomes the problem more than why we own it and how. I have heard some bitter and nasty comments and videos about him and agree they are an attempt to discredit him. I don't personally know Pastor John or his family. What matters to me, and should matter to all of us, is Gospel truth and whether the Church is helping us to know Christ and advance our faith. Thank you again for this interview. God bless.🙏😀
"Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which. leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it" It is shocking to me how many people lack even the most basic discernment. Just look at all those who follow people like Kenneth Copeland or comment in favor of Joshua Chavez. God Bless Justin Peters, John MacArthur and Phil Johnson, who will walk thru the narrow gate.
Human fails...but not God..all those ministers of old had flaws and failure but God's plan prevails...controversies are proof...that only God deserves glory...you may fail i might fail but God is still our stronghold.....God sustained me with only 30 dollars support a month.....i have no car but im not envious to anyone who got prestigious life ..as long as Christ true and pure gospel is preached.its not about the preacher nor the money.....it's all about the MASTER...
I have a library full of free CD's and books given to me since 1995 from GTY. Never have I been pressed for donations and only receive a mail out once a month. May God bless JM and his faithfulness to the Word.
They were given to me as free. I did not say I never gave. I just was never pressured to donate. Always a tongue set on fire that will one day have to give an account. Drink a glass of cold water and if you don't have one I can get it for you.
If they aren’t being criticized and persecuted and frankly hated, then they’re doing something wrong. Anytime I see a pastor being praised by mainstream media then I know who to run away from. Edit-my husband gets free stuff from Grace Community church each month including packets and one of John MacArthur study bibles, from across the country. If you mail them, they send stuff for free. To me, that is the opposite of greed.
"The more public your place, and the more eminent your service for God, the greater the probability that Satan is at that very moment hatching some deadly scheme against you. If even the cadet corps need to be armed against Satan's bullets of temptation, how much more the commanders and officers, who stand in the front lines of battle!" ~ William Gurnall: The Christian in Complete Armour, pg 84 ~ May the Lord continue to bless you Mr. Peters and those at GTY, my beloved brothers and sisters in Christ! I appreciate your front line work, which, by Grace, is the fruit of your faith, so that cadets such as myself have been tremendous beneficiaries over the years!
That is why people of God who are in positions of authority must be ever diligent to insure there is nothing impure or even suspect in their life that can be used against them. In this case there is a bit of what one could question as being nepotism as there are 4 individuals employed by an identity with close ties to the Church, those being 2 sons of John MacArthur and his son-in-law and the son of Phil Johnson. If there is any loose thread in our armour you are sure that Satan will do his best to hang us with it.
l learned who John was _because_ he wouldn't close his church! l live in Canada where not ONE church is open. :( Johnny Mac taught The Word in _such_ a way, that l realized l was happily heading to the WIDE door! Now l have been shown the way to the NARROW door! May The Lord bless John for shepherding the flock! _ALL GLORY_ goes to The KING of kings, and LORD of lords!
Churches are closed in Ontario.

Grace Life Edmonton has been open full attendance for months. Pastor James Coates was attested Tuesday and is now in jail. Pray for Pastor James.
John MacArthur, Voddie Bauchan, and Justin Peterson have restored my faith so much and much more than any others. I thank God for these men.
If you no your bible you no they are telling the truth Amen.
I also listen to all 3 of the pastors you mentioned. You might also really like Paul Washer. He is right up there with these 3 men in my opinion. Also Paul Washer and Voddie are friends. Voddie has said he looks up to Paul Washer (I didnt know this until recently). God Bless.
Also please listen to Paul Washer. He is a great teacher that teaches the uncompromising truth of the gospel.

I am currently studying at a seminar in South Africa that is fully funded by GTY. The tuition fee we pay a year is R4000 (271.18 USD a year), we receive study material worth R15 000 (1029.51 USD), the tuition fee covers for our education and good. The institution accepts plus less than 100 students a year and employees 20 permanent staff members. The amount we pay is way low to meet all the financial burden to the institution. Most of the study material, food and accommodation is covered by grace to you.

Did you ever find a great bible teacher to replace the one you lost? I sure hope so!
I just realised that this was a prayer request from long ago however, I will look it up and commit to praying for it.
The fact that Pastor John refused to close his Church, knowing full-well that he may go to jail, proves he is who he says he is
Many call him all kinds of unkind names for it. Many see him as courageous. I’ll certainly take the latter position.

I'm glad I watched to the end, unlike the time a few months ago when I was watching one of John MacArthur's videos on TH-cam and got a bit irked by it. Let me just say that it was you, Justin, that introduced me to him and then i discovered he is on my local UK Christian radio station in the wee small hours when i cant sleep and it's been amazing listening to him. Going back to the video i was watching when i got irked. It was nothing that he had said that was wrong, i never watched to the end and jumped the gun. So i wrote to his organisation and got a lovely reply that explained everything that i'd had doubts about. He then asked me if he could send me a MacArthur study bible for nothing! I'd only dreamed about owning something like that. I received that and several other books and im very grateful for their generosity. God bless you all and thanks for your videos, i've learned so much about the heresy i'd been taught and how blinded i was to it but now i'm free! :)
Ellis! Thank you so very much for your comment. How encouraging this is to read! I’m not at all surprised at the kindness and generosity they showed to you at Grace Community. They are wonderful folks and millions of lives have been impacted by them through God’s grace. Blessings to you and your family! :-)
What a wonderful testimony!
Thank you for that.
I hope God Blesses you greatly for your testimony.
I’ve only started watching JohnnyMac in the last 2 months. Yet, I listen to his sermons, even from his beginnings, and I find JMac the most solid, uncompromising preacher I’ve ever heard. Jesus Is proud of John McArthur in my worthless opinion.
Let me second that. Your (calvitarded) opinion is indeed *utterly worthless.*
I am also a huge appreciator of Pastor MacArthur. For maybe 2 years now I listen to at least a couple of sermons of his a day. I also do a weekly Bible Study with a friend based on watching a sermon before we meet/I set half a dozen questions on the content and we discuss at the next session. I have learned SO much from him and of course his own reputation for integrity of personal character is such a reassuring base to put my confidence in his teaching. Thank u Pastor MacArthur.
Blessings

@*Healing+Grace* Amen! This church is full of scandal. In HIS church, it is okay to beat women and children and sexually assault them. His disdain for women and children is palpable even though Jesus treated women with respect even the woman caught in adultery. He blessed little children and even said that if someone harmed one of His little ones it would be better for him or her to put a millstone around their neck and throw themselves into the deepest part of the sea.
Your opinion is perfect ❤️🙏😎🇦🇺
@@ruthpowell1944 that's so misrepresenting the facts.
I am so very appreciative for sound teachers such as John McArthur, Paul Washer, Voddie Baucham, others. Sound biblical teachers are so rare these days.
They are all adherents to the imported errors of Augustine
I agree! It has taken us 5 years and 3 churches later to find the church we are presently attending. Our pastor teaches biblical truth and does not compromise the Word of God. It was like finding an oasis in a dry land.
@*Healing+Grace* move along.
Add les feldick to your list
Yes u right
Thank you. I watched this KNOWING the title would not bear out as truth. I found Pastor MacArthur quite by accident on TH-cam over 2 years ago, and was not looking for salvation specifically but, watched him and realized that he was the first Pastor I have EVER believed. He brought me to Christ. My BS detector is FULLY developed and I KNEW he is a real man of God. THEN I found out that Grace Community Church is 8 miles from my house! Anyway, he doesn't know me but no matter. He is a modern day Disciple, if that's the right title other than Pastor, and I am eternally grateful for his faithful adherence to the word and his deadly serious preaching of the truth. I am as grateful for the fear I feel as I am for the hope.
@*Healing+Grace* Starts at 10 min ! Maybe you should listen ! Drop your “ healing and grace” title. It’s an disingenuous and embarrassing.

His doctrine is wrong. His character is putrid. He is a wolf.
@@MandyAltamirano...I admired Pastor John MacArthur until I recently heard about the horrific treatment of one of their members, Eileen Gray, when she reported abuse at the hands of her husband, David (David also abused their children mentally, physically, and sexually). I looked into the accusation, and it's true. Mind you, the case goes back 20ish years ago, but her husband is in jail serving 21 years to life for his crimes, so her claims had merit, because David admitted to the charges and the court found him guilty -- and, quite frankly, she and her children will live with the scars of what happened for the rest of their lives. Also, David had a position at the church working with children, so this isn't a matter to be taken lightly. Anyway, Eileen went to Grace Community Church for counseling initially, but they failed her. They added insult to injury BIG TIME by blaming her for what was happening and telling HER to repent! The gaslighting and victim blaming is what I'd expect from a cult, such as Scientology -- not from GCC nor from Pastor John MacArthur. I lost respect for him after reading and hearing about their treatment towards her and pray that he, and others at GCC, will repent of their sinful attitude towards Eileen Gray. The seeming lack of remorse and Christian charity in this matter is beyond unsettling.
Absolutely awesome! My favorite Bible teacher Justin Peters interviewing my Sunday school pastor Phil Johnson defending my senior pastor John MacArthur. It doesn't get better than that!

I know John and his family, and they are the most caring, humble people I know of. As a Korean foreign graduate student I came to this country in 1982 for further studies, and ever since I tasted his great preaching I woke up at 4 every morning just to listen to him preach. I always thought and still do that America has been great because it has a great man like John MacArthur. I respect and appreciate him and his ministry the most. If anyone criticize him and his family, may God deal with you severely as God dealt with those children who mocked God's servant Elisha in the Old Testament.
It is so sad that "Christians" feel the need to attack ministers of God's Word. Satan wants to destroy the work of true saints. Those who believe such accusations, need to check the condition of their hearts. God has used John MacArthur in a mighty way. I have listened to him for over 40 years and have learned so much about Who God is and how He wants me to live my life. I thank God for the ministry He has given to this faithful servant. May He continue to bless this wonderful ministry.
Satan wants people to worship the beast in modern fake 501 c3 church business buildings.
Pease Repent!
Acts 17:24,
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 KJV ❤️
Jesus NEVER took salary. Nor did the Apostles. Paul was an itinerant preacher and accepted donations. MacArthur needs to repent along with all paid "pastors" and hit the streets preaching the gospel, giving away all his money. That is what I and several others have done.
@@PR-cq4zc 1 Corinthians 9:13-15 Pauls speaks on this very topic! those proclaiming the gospel (Pastors) should get their living by the gospel. That is the right of every preacher with Paul he willingly gave up that right as the passage states. So you shouldn't be telling preachers to repent for taking salaries when they are meant to be taking salaries for preaching the word. Now if you want to speak about the amount that is appropriate that's a whole different topic. Here are the verses for reference "Do you not know that those who are employed in the temple service get their food from the temple, and those who serve at the altar share in the sacrificial offerings? 14 In the same way, the Lord commanded that those who proclaim the gospel should get their living by the gospel.
Sure. I will treat an iterant missionary who preaches to true gospel to lunch, as I have often done. I gratefully accept donations when offered. But to pay someone's yearly salary, including air conditioned office, car, health ins, etc. is ludicrous. Give the money God gives you to help the needy.
Buy lunch for an itinerant preacher. Do NOT pay their annual salaries, expense accounts, cars, health ins. and retirement. That is ludicrous.
I started listening to JM and I thought I was a Christian and believe I was, but listening to him one the list 3or 4 years I had to examine myself to see if I was of the faith, I prayed called out to the Lord I then repented, and faithfully walk with Him gladly thank the Lord Jesus Christ for JM and grace to you.🙏🏻
My story as well Erika! Thank you for posting your experience. For me JM has helped my understanding and ability to apply it to my life! My husband (since '65) is the other person who watches JM and we discuss his broadcasts all the time. So have many of my friends and family who watch too. Yvonne
The credit and all glory belongs to the LORD. It is a privilege to be used for the kingdom of GOD.
I don't know about you. But my experience in the use of the label "Christian" doesn't separate it from any other false label the world uses to mistakenly identify things.
What happens in my daily experience is I hear all these annoying people trying to get my attention with their insults and derogatory remarks. I hear the word "punk" a lot (one of the reasons I stopped going to church. Thought it was supposed to be a place of refuge to get away from that crap.) It seems if they find something in particular that produces the negative effect they desire then they find joy in that and get repetative with it.
But, anyway, the term Christian only comes up in rotation when other words have failed to stick or that I haven't understood them to be representational of anything I'm actually doing or that's really happening. That is to say, I don't use these terms to make agreements with other people about anything.
But, Christian is usually offered as a more agreeable alternative to these other slanders (or flattery, when the insults aren't working - as if it was really less disrespectful to offer what may be considered a better title or term of suggestion when it's still someone else trying to act like they can tell me about myself being what I am?) And seemingly under the threat that if it isn't accepted then the attempt to continue to identify me according to one of these other less favorable false terms will resume.
So, it's kinda like a temptation to agree with the world about what it means for me to be who I am in order to get them off my back, which I refuse to do.
I mean, if I'm a Christian then do I have a Christian behind that Christian feces comes out of? (Didn't use the words I usually make that expression with which are usually considered "profane") Never been much on naming turds, but I really don't see how that's anything different than whatever else this bogus world is made of.
May the Lord richly bless you. We ought to examine ourselves constantly.
Doing something in the name of Christianity or doing it in the name of Jesus are not the same at all.
I am so thankful for your ministry. My parents started their ministry in the 1980’s & continued at a Baptist church in Texas until the 2000’s. My dad passed in 2011. He wasn’t just my dad he was also my pastor, counselor & friend. I was so thankful when my mother directed me to John McArthur & have followed him ever since. So thankful for his solid, truthful & never wavering teachings from the Word.
I recently wrote letters to more than ten of my favorite pastors. John Macarthur and Grace to You are the only ones that not only responded but also sent a GIFT. They responded to my questions with two books and they have been EXCELLENT resources to my questions. I have not heard back from everyone but I have heard from most. To include Steve Brown who responded to my email and messages even BEFORE my letter went out. I ended up not even needing to ail a letter to Steve Brown. I must say that Grace to You and John Macarthur have been amongst the most generous of all. Everyone has been kind, insightful, prayerful and more but Grace to You responded above and beyond!
He's one who preches from the bible I'm a addict and I'm in recovery now and every video I watch I end up in tears and I wish I could see a sermon at his church but I don't have a way so I love his videos and l feel the holy spirit when I watch him I could care less if he spent a million a day who cares,, care about the good he does, heck I'm in tears right now and I don't have crap to My name My addiction has taken everything but I I know I'm blessed because I'm alive and I pray that I'll fall in love and be normal an listening to John gives me hope so that's worth a million in its self ty John hopefully I will be able to see your church someday !!!
God bless you in your recovery. Jesus loves you so much and he'll continue to guide you. May the Lord Jesus bless you and keep you 🙏❤️
many people don't look with clarity/discernment into John's teaching, I have. I've been led to listen to John's teaching since the 1970's with great attention. God has been GOOD to me (a sinner) for many years and I know this man better than some who see him daily. Praise God for His direction in the Holy Spirit.
Exactly how everyone felt about Ravi Z .... Ravis sin wasn’t his appetite and preying on vulnerable women ... His sin was pride, over indulgence and becoming unapproachable and making a profit off of the gospel ... which is different then making a decent wage....
I've studied for many years, and check out all preachers I can find. The Word instructs us to "ask questions", confirm, and read the Word diligently. Pastor John appears to mislead, in my opinion, however, he speaks well and is likeable, to me.
It would benefit you to look more deeply. For instance, if "lord" means Ba'al, and "God" is also of pagan origin -- why do preachers not Teach the Actual NAME of our Creator & Savior?
Just one thing I study & wonder about, because they are "Set-apart" Names for a Reason.
@@beppiek A decent wage is very different to folks. It's relative to the perception of each.
Copeland's planes are included in his own definition of a decent wage. Ever see his "home" ... or John's?
@@beppiek I personally never felt that way about Ravi, he appeared to downplay the important matters of salvation. Maybe he was feeling the guilt of his own sin and knew he wasn't above reproach.
i have serious problems with the mark of the beast thing. my understanding of this is that if someone takes that mark after that they will not ever have a desire to repent its gone. they will not care to repent or have a desire to come to the lord. this is a serious error that makes me question this man what other errors are there
Thank you Justin. I pretty much ignore the media these days. Better time spent listening to John Macarthur's Sermons. Have a great day!
Psalm 118:8 KJV
I’m sorry but your time would actually be better spent reading the word of God because you would have the pure gospel without the error of Calvinism.
The Bible speaks of Calvinism. It’s not really John Calvins doctrine- it’s Gods.
@@SexGodsWife since when did the Word of God become the word of Calvin? Calvinism teaches contrary to scripture: 1 Tim. 4:10 ... who is the savior of all men and especially of those who believe. That does not mean “all kinds of men” as Calvinism teaches. John 5:24 ... WHOEVER hears my Word and believes Him who sent me has eternal life. Calvinism teaches the exact opposite of scripture.

From Philippines we fully support Dr. John MacArthur whole heartedly. Praying for his ministry that stands for God's Truth and exposing false Doctrines. From our Church here in GMA, Cavite (Charity And Faith Christian Church) wholeheartedly thank Dr. John MacArthur, GTY, Justin Peters, Phil Johnson, RC Sproul, Steve Lawson and many more. Hope we can meet you also 😊 God bless. ❤❤❤
so, you have den ied the catholic faith in order to follow the domonic doctrine of Calvinism..?? - you should not reduce the living God to a Moloch-god... thye little opet idol of determinism... very very faithful to God's Word... of course...
From America ... using the word, "we", are you suggesting to speak for the population of the Phillipines? Hardly proper.
Have you checked that I put "our church" in the comment? Are you reading? Or just simply browsing? And at the end part I also used the word "we" in meeting them hopefully. So what are you trying to point out in your reply?
@@silveriorebelo8045 you should read more and learn more. What then is your belief?
@SAMUEL JESSE is it for me or those who do not understand Ordo Salutis?
The integrity of Pastor John is unquestionable. He is a preacher of the truth. I have listened to him for years and he goes right down the line of the Bible. I love the fact that he stands for what he believes as not of the popular culture today.
one thing I have a question about is john going off alone for weeks like ravi zacharias did.
@healinggrace5117 Jesus is the one who asked that question with an intention to reveal the state of the heart of the rich man to himself. That was a once off incident. It won't happen again but if he would have a strong conviction to five up his wealth, I am more than sure that he would do it with a twinkling of an eye.
If this guy on the video with Justin is giving us the correct information. I don’t think John is living this lavish lifestyle. I would have the same, and believe me I know how to give back. I realize I can never out give God! God, blesses us with his riches. Do you know what John gives back to further the kingdom of God?????
you must be joking !! OK so two MacArthur sycophants ignore that MacArthur controls his organisation, that nepotism rules and millions are passed each year to family members, that he owns outright in the US alone three homes ... They totally ignored investigations into the awarding of degrees without proper verification and record keeping as well as the bullying and intimidation that was found to be rife among students and particularly staff in MacArthur's organisation.. A God forsaken place and a God forsaken organisation !! A God forsaken man !!
@@jwehrli6 Trying to dig up more dirt on Pastor MacArthur, are you? You will have to face God for that when your life is over on this earth. Think about that. Some people live on this planet as though they will never die and have to answer for their wrongs toward others! It makes me wonder if they even believe in Christ Jesus. Don't mess with God, the creator of everything and everyone. Think about that seriously.
Thank you, Justin and Phil, for clarifying the differences between the prosperity ministries and the lavish lifestyles of their leaders and the lifestyle of John MacArthur. Pastor MacArthur is an upstanding Minister of the Gospel who will long be revered even when he no longer is able to preach.
John MacArthur has been such a blessing to me and my husband for the past 35 years.His biblically sound teachings have helped us grow in our walk with the Lord. What a faithful man of God he is and we are grateful for his ministry!
Unless ur husband divorced you. He wld not lead him to repent of a remarriage. His teaching on marriage is opposite of Biblical teaching.
@@barefootdgypsy3233 this is utter nonsense. there is proper grounds for divorce in the bible.
@@billybobbobson3797 no the lord says a man must not divorce his wife and if a wife divorced she must remain unmarried. Only exception was to the Jews for fornication Greek word porneia and that is only engagement period befor the lord joins the two as one flesh. Example as in Joseph going to put marry away befor he married her because he found her to be with child but angel stoped him. The marriage covenant is until death. Paul said only death will free a woman to remarry. Study harder
@@billybobbobson3797 adultery is not even grounds to divorce and remarry. Read Hosea. The lord commanded us to forgive one another if we seek forgiveness from him. Divorce and remarriage is ultimate unforgivness with no hope to be reconciled.
@@billybobbobson3797 our marriage represents the covenant the lord has with his people. Divorce and remarriage shows Christ throwing away Israel. Our lord is a lord of Agape love and reconciliation.
Wealth is not a sin... it’s what you do with your wealth..
You are right, wealth isn't sin but it is easy for the rich to fall.
I'm not accusing anyone, I'm just worried that rich men will start to love their life on earth more. Personally I don't want to be rich, I always want to depend on God for everything.
Exactly, David was rich, Abraham was rich, Solomon was rich but they prospered BECAUSE the Lord blessed them. They loved God, not mammon. The love of money is the root of all evil. The love of it, not the having of it!! Amen!
However, the Bible explicitly states getting rich off the Gospel is wrong. A man gets wealthy by being a tent-maker; not by using the Gospel to do it.
Wealth gained by famous preachers becomes a stumbling block to others. Everyone starts thinking that can become rich through the Gospel and start turning the church into a marketplace.
Like having 3 houses? Sounds like tearing down and building bigger barns to me.
John MacArthur never criticized Prosperity preachers for having wealth, he criticizes what they preach.
Convenient.
Well I think he has because the way they get that wealth is dishonest and they’re living in sin with it. It’s one thing to be blessed and have money and use it to glorify God and since you have much more to use it for some things you enjoy. Most people who accuse that person hate pastors or preaching or are jealous and want to have wealth themselves. It’s another thing to lie and preach heresies and abuse people and get money from them and manipulate and then use that to buy things they never use and don’t need only to perpetuate more heresy and sin.
@@SlaveofChrist1 that's true. If you look into most prosperity preachers use of money they get through their "ministry" you will find only a few token outreaches which are generally small and relatively inexpensive to manage. These appear to be just for showing that they are at least doing something for others.
But the majority is spent on multi million dollar jets and fancy cars or boats or lavish houses and reinvesting in their "ministry" to expand their reach and encourage more people to give.
Christians shouldn't compare themselves with other christians BUT WITH SCRIPTURE ONLY .Cased closed.
@@mareefranceszarmaos8409 there's really no way to compare anything with the truth. Nothing compares to it. It doesn't mean anything about what it's not, but only what it is; so, comparing it to something else that it isn't provides absolutely no insight. It's also a false comparison or the premise suggested for the comparison is contrived so that you would be acting like something else about it just to suppose that's what was being compared.
I'm not you. So, if I'm the truth or of that truth, if I'm really me and it's true, I really wouldn't be able to compare it with you. Me not being who you are doesn't really mean anything about me being who I am. Or, the fact of me being it is not derived from whatever it is that you are that I'm not. Otherwise, I would depend on knowing the idea of what you are (or whatever I think you are) to even gain the context for what I thought about myself. And that's just why it could never be true. Because things that we think about ourselves aren't true. God thinks better things of us than we ever could anyway, so we should just be thinking of Him. :)
Peace.
John macarthurs teachings from the 70's are timeless indeed, they opened my eyes. I read them trembling about my own sins and i continue reading and listening to them. That man is a solid teacher.
John MacArthur is the only one I've seen so far standing up for the gospel despite being threatened with imprisonment for defying the lockdown rules.
Greetings beloved of God. In this instance the Gospel was not under threat by the government. Rather it was human life and the appropriate response was to follow the guidelines of the governmental and health authorities as prescribed by the bible. Going to a building can't save and is overrated by many, especially when we consider that our bodies is the dwelling place of God's spirit. Not forsaking the assembling of yourselves can be done virtually as well physically. If you want to know what is persecution talk to christians in china, iran, iraq, india, etc.
@@truth_merchant7839 how was human life under threat ? Please elaborate
@@nicktorea4017 Greetings beloved of God. I got that distinct impression from statistics that show 500 000 plus people are dead as well as experiences that were provided by the now deceased, the dying, the suffering, the post suffering and those who have lost loved ones from the pandemic. But as John said lets go to church because only a very few will die.
@@truth_merchant7839 how is it determined that these 500000 people died from a pandemic?
@@nicktorea4017 Are you aware that this number is a conservative figure and in reality it could be more. In some cases people died before getting tested. But i digress, suicide is condemned in the bible but yet you seem supportive of it. This situation with the pandemic will continue to be drawn out because of the lack of unity on the way forward. As a divinely inspired writer once said: "my people perish because of a lack of knowledge".
Am so glad that you did this video brother. Not that anyone of us needed any clarification but just to stick with a fellow believer.
I love Dr. John McArthurs preaching even though they are accusing him speaking bad about him. I will continue to listen to his preaching. Because he is teaching the truth. May God richly bless his ministry exceedingly abundantly.

John MacArthur knowingly teaches from and promotes a lying Jesus bible.
In his study bibles He correctsxtgevlie but stood with that.
Can a lying Jesus be God? Can he be the way the truth and the life? Can he be the perfect sinless sacrifice?? Can he be trusted?
In John 7:8, he tells his brothers I am not going to the feast. No. Not me, not going. My time has not yet come. He waits and then goes. Liar! His brothers would have been surprised to see him there.
Jesus actually said I am not going up yet to the feast. No. Not now, not yet.
He waits and then goes. No problem.
I pray all who honor the lying Jesus will repent.

Love John, been listening since 1978. At that time John, J Vernon McGee, David Hocking, Chuck Smith, Walter Martin, Chuck Swindall, etc., were pretty much the only solid teachers on the radio station I listened to.
These guys blessed me so much, I remember sending a check to Word for Today, and they sent it back with a little note, "Thank you for you generous gesture, please use this money to support your local Church"
Those were the days.
I like McGee. He didn't pull no punches on sin. And Swindol was an educated man who gave ya something to think about. I'm sure I've heard the others but I enjoyed The guy whose name escapes me who was really savvy on the end times and Greek an Hebrew. Well there were 2 actually C. Missler and another. Adrian Rodgers was good too on that station.
Yeah I'd fall over if they sent my money back nowadays,..
@1satisfiedmind Those 6 ministers are champions of mine. Each had a historical position. Chuck Swindol was my pastor for 15 years and I was under great teachiing.
Like you I used to listen all the radio preachers you mentioned.. The best out there is Don Smith of “Only one Truth “ videos on TH-cam
Ilove John too man he's my pastor&ilive in Dallas but I tune into all of his sermons EVERY CHANCE I GET BECAUSE HES THE ONE I HEAR BECAUSE THE LORD HAS MY EAR PEALED TOO HIM!❤
Ministry is by nature a family business. If his wife did not support him, he would fail. If he was not able to raise his children in a godly manner John McArthur would be disqualified from the ministry in accordance with scripture. His children and children in law being involved in the church is not an indictment it is a commendation. Personally I don't know enough about his ministry apart from youtube content to make any judgement of his lifestyle or his ministry impact. But 52 years without proven scandal? Most modern preachers can't claim 52 weeks scandal free!
They want him to run it like Lot, Abraham’s nephew, who even if he’s said to have been righteous, didn’t seem to have the buy in of his wife, sons, daughters, and sons in law. If a man is held in high esteem and followed wholeheartedly, by those nearest to him especially in the things of God, he’s a blessing from God.
@Warren Goss and??? His net worth is not all that impressive if you compare it to secular authors of the same publishing profile. I have no problem with his income. Nor should anyone. It is only his stewardship and actions in the body of believers that are public

waiting for the heretic to be muted like all those who preach against THE HOLY SPIRIT and The Baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other Tongues.
ravi zecharias and many jewish rabbis left - macarthur, charles gallup and the others are on my list! They are tools of satan to keep believers weak, impressed by the smooth talk and deceived into ignorance of their AUTHORITY IN THE LORD JESUS.
If you follow them you will perish with them - Isaiah 9:16
@Violett Fem
We are to judge the true and the false from their fruits. What are the fruits of those who follow macarthur's teachings?
What I see are believers who are VERY WEAK IN THE FAITH OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. They are clueless about walking as He walked having a PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP with the FATHER.
They have FORM OF RELIGION but Deny The Power so they aren't lead to heal the sick, cast out demons and raise the dead. We are to AVOID THEM - 2Timothy 3:5. The POWER referred to in the scripture is the same word for POWER referred to by The LORD in Acts 1:8 and Luke 24:49, in the Greek. The manifestation of The Power was seen in Acts 2, which was the BAPTISM of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other Tongues.
I am not sure if macarthur preaches REPENTANCE as a precondition to Salvation. (First part of Acts 2:38. Read from verses 36-39). That will bring a person to the place of Adam, who was created (not a Son of God) without sin. Such a person is not a Temple of the Holy Spirit with the Spirit of The LORD dwelling in the Person - 1Corinthians 3:16, 6:19.
They do not have the Mind of Christ or The Power to do His Works. They interpret the "will" of The LORD through their reasoning which is declared IMPOSSIBLE to understand spiritual truth - Romans 8:5, 1Corinthians 2:9-16. GOD is Spirit - John 4:24. You HAVE TO BE BORN AGAIN OF THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD to be one with Him.
A person who ONLY TRULY REPENTS but cannot follow up on the other TWO parts of SALVATION - if they repent on their deathbed or someone prays for their forgiveness under John 20:23, will not go to hell but will have no Authority to walk in The Authority of GOD on the earth.
The LORD walked as a man ANOINTED with The HOLY Spirit - Acts 10:38. The Father was IN Him - John 10:30-39. His Spirit therefore was Holy and Of The Father GOD - 1Timothy 3:16. His Soul was still of Adam and He was in sinful flesh - Romans 8:3. He had the Spirit without measure. He controlled His Soul by obeying The Father in Him in all He did - John 5:30. (satan at the time He walked on the earth before overcoming death, was not defeated. The LORD had Authority to defeat satan because He was also the Son of Man John 5:27). In Romans 1:3-4, we see Him overcoming death, completely defeating satan and becoming The SON of GOD seated at The Right Hand of The Father with Power - Ephesians 2:6.
This is why He said that we should rejoice that He was going back to The Father in a place of POWER and Authority as GOD with complete Victory and darkness vanquished. He would no longer be a man with the Spirit of GOD in Him and anointed with The HOLY Spirit, while satan was yet to be defeated on the earth by His Sacrifice for our sins and the sins of all creation. In 1John 4:17 we are told we are just like Him on this earth. He also told us that we would do greater things than He did because satan was no longer with power, the power satan had, when The LORD Jesus walked the earth, before He overcame death and became The Son of GOD with Power - John 14:12.
We have to recognize, call forth and implement that VICTORY in our every situation- bodies, other people affecting our space etc.
It is only our ignorance that can allow a fully defeated enemy to have access to our space with his nature to kill, steal and destroy - Hosea 4:6, John 10:10.
macarthur is a heretic because he does not preach the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other Tongues with the Power of The HOLY Spirit, dwelling in the Believer who becomes a Temple of The HOLY Spirit - 1Corinthians 3:16, 6:9.

@@stefankivungi8286 I totally agree with you. When we put people on a pedestal instead of giving GOD the glory, we make an idol out of them, giving them elevated status because of their amazing oratory skill and presentation which is given only to further the kingdom. It is within our sinful nature to corrupt the depiction of their gift and view them as more than human. This happened with Ravi zacharias and many other men throughout history and has brought shame to the name of JESUS. Though these men represent Christ, they are still only forgiven sinners being sanctified daily. They still seek the LORD even though sin tries to rise up & overtake them and return them to following the world and the power of Satan again as they once did before they were saved. True faithful servants of GOD will not willingly continue in sin like Ravi zacharias did. They may sin but they will not continue to. Only sinners continue to sin willingly for it is their nature and they are still alienated from GOD for they are spiritually dead.

Very good interview that clearly answers the Roy allegations for folks that may not be familiar with John MacAuthur .

Bingo. Christians will be accused and turned in by other "Christians" as persecution increases. These accusers are not protecting the church or Christ's name but cowering to culture to gain the praise of men.
There are not enough words for me to use to express my gratitude for this video!!!!!!!!!! I love John MacArthur's teaching and preaching. I love his stand for biblical truth; my soul is thrilled to hear him take a stand on "hot" topics.
His books are so worth the read. I won't list every book he has written but A Tale of Two Sons should be read by every human being...I've never heard anyone describe God's love that way.
Thank you, Justin, for this refutation of lies. I couldn't line up his preaching with those lies.
Now I can refer people to this video if the need arises.
I was just sent a screenshot of a tweet from Julie Roys that (I believe) she posted this morning. Julie began saying yesterday that I deleted her comments that she was posting on this video. She publicly accused me of doing something I emphatically did not do. Others began posting questions asking me why I deleted her comments and saying that I had something to hide or was afraid of the truth. I did not see her first comment(s?) - and still have not - much less deleted them. She posted another last night that I did see. I responded to her. Now, apparently, according to the screenshot sent me she is once again accusing me of deleting her comments.
She tweeted, "@JustinPetersMin says he didn't delete 2 of my comments yesterday & I took him his word. However, I left this comment on his TH-cam thread 10 min ago. Now it's gone. Apparently Justin wants to shield people from info that doesn't match @Phil_Johnson's narrative. Sad."
In the one comment from her last night that I did see, Julie requested that I interview her to give her side of the story. I told her that I did not delete any of her comments and never even saw any that she left. At the time, there were over 2400 comments and so it is quite reasonable to assume that I could not possibly read them all. I can't. Did she leave comments? She says she did, but I did not see them. I told her in my response that "with a crystal clear conscience before God" I did not see anything from her until the comment to which I was at that moment responding. I also told her that publicly accusing me of something I did not do did not exactly incline me to want to interview her. Call me crazy, but that is the truth. Now, per her tweet I just quoted above she is AGAIN publicly accusing me of hiding or deleting her comments. I have done no such thing. To this very moment the only comment from her that I have seen on my TH-cam channel is the single one to which I responded last night (February 21st). I only hide comments from people who are vulgar or obviously vitriolic and not interested in truth.
She is apparently pretty desperate to have me interview her on my youTube channel. I am not going to for the following reasons: 1) I have only interviewed a very few people and the ones I do interview are those with whom I share theological beliefs and convictions. 2) I am not a reporter. I am an evangelist. 3) Julie wants me to interview her so she can give her response to Phil. Julie is free to write whatever she wants to write and, obviously, she does. I interviewed Phil to give him an opportunity to respond to her accusatory article on John MacArthur. "Her side" of the story is presented every time she writes an article. She does not need me to get "her side" of the story out. I have absolutely no desire to serve as a go-between between her and Phil. That's not what I do. Again, I am not a reporter. 4) She has now twice accused me of something I did not do. Rather than try to contact me privately, she publicly accused me of being secretive and trying to hide facts. I just checked my email and I do not have anything from her despite my email address being very public on my website. If she wants me to interview her, publicly accusing me - twice - of something I did not do is not the best way to go about getting a positive response to her requests. Sadly, I am now getting a first-hand taste of the very concerns with her Phil has expressed.
What happened to her comments? I do not have the slightest, foggiest idea. I have not blocked her, I have not deleted anything from her. Nothing. For those of you who refuse to believe me, there is likely nothing I can say to change your mind. But, this I know: I care FAR more what God thinks of me than I do anyone else. I know that if I am lying it is to Him that I will one day give an account and that thought terrifies me far more than having to give an account to Julie Roys or anyone else.
And, Julie, in case it is me upon whom you are desiring to next set your investigative sights, perhaps I can save you a little trouble. My wife and I live in a 1,500 square foot condo and my salary is 5 figures (and well - well - shy of 6 at that). In full disclosure, I do have two - count them 2! - electric mobility scooters. They are made by Pride Mobility and my particular models are called the GoGo LX (3 wheel model). They have front suspension (soooo posh!) and go from 0 to a blazing 4.4 mph in about 2 seconds flat. It can be see here: www.pridemobility.com/go-go-travel-mobility/go-go-lx-with-cts-suspension-3-wheel/ I have two because one was getting old and the annoying horn wouldn't stop going off on its own. We haven't thrown it away yet - keeping it for spare parts should they be necessary.
(Laughter doeth good like a medicine)
If you can let Phil tell his side, why not let her? Just asking.
@@dorothyharris6596 I just answered that question. Please see my pinned comment.
@@JustinPetersMin
On the very, very serious side. Why do you preach from a lying Jesus bible? John MacArthur, in his study bibles, corrects the lie but does not yell, BLASPHEMY!
He allows for the uninspired but older manuscripts, to superceded the Textus Receptus. The Alexandrian manuscripts are used over the Antioch manuscript.
Jesus.when He quoted the protphets did not say, Well I think so even though we do not have the original manuscript No. He believed it was the preserved word of God.
Mr. Ehrmann said there are too many manuscripts that disagree with each other. God's word is not preserved, because no one can tell which is which. Even Paul warned that letters were sent under his name that were not from him. John warned in 1 John that many anti Christ werecalrrady there among them.
We all know that Mr. Ermann's God is
to small. But what is our excuse???
The system set up by King James and those asked to translate was brilliant. See: Tares Among the Wheat Sequal video TH-cam.
I pray that you stop to think of the seriousness of this!!! Because there are so many translations and supposedly no standard, God's word is mocked. The faith of many a Christian has been shipwrecked. Again, this is very, very serious. Christisn students have been told to choose from among the bibles what to believe.
Pastor Peters. Will you not be judged even more strictly than non preachers???
God said He preserved His word . Psalm12:6,7. What do those two verses say in your bible?, I read on a paper cover of an NIV study bible that not all of the truth was in yet. They would publish it as it came in.
What BLASPHEMY!!! What greed!
Even though Mr. Ehrmann's God is to small, we can see God working He was answering the prayers of men hungering and thirsting for the most accurate word of God. They had suffered under the Roman Catholic Institution for one thousand years. One thousand years of darkness. And at the whim of a pope.
God also foreknew that weak little England would one day be an empire where the sun never set.
English, the language of international commerce!!! Too good to pass up.
The Alexandrian manuscripts do not agree with each other, neither the one from a monestary, nor the Vaticanus from the Vatican basement. That one disagrees with itself about 30 times per page.

That sermon was a blessing to me.

Thank you for sharing.
Sending prayers!
Love Pastor McArthur.god will judge him at his time of judgement... she needs to worry about what she had to answer for.... I truly believe he’s a great man of God!!!!
@Kim And do you agree with wicked cult leader Mary Baker Eddy's blasphemous belief concerning the blood of Christ? No?? Then WHY are you praising a man who believes identically with her, and says 'there's nothing in his blood that can save us"? Please read chapter 9 in the book of Hebrews, and Leviticus 17. "For the life of the flesh is in the blood and I have given it to you on the altar for the atonement of your souls, for it is the BLOOD that makes atonement by the life." And do you agree with his teaching that we can take the mark and still be saved? Please read Revelation 14. You also seem uninformed of 1 Cor. 5. We are COMMANDED to judge those inside the body.
Thank you so much for Pastor John. I'm so grateful he's on Video. He has taught me things that I'd never known. And changed my heart. Always been a loving Christian. I can't believe I missed Scripture on Elect. Everything is so much clearer and I'm eternally grateful. May God bless and keep you all.
I am thankful that this video was put online. It answered some concerns for me. If John MacArthur goes out and buys a multi-million dollar jet for his private use, I might believe that he is living a "lavish'' lifestyle. When he flies, I think it is in coach with his wife or one of the elders of his church. For many years John went on cruises in Alaska. He taught the Bible three or more times messages a day. That is his idea of a great vacation.
Exactly- look at the wealthy men in the Bible that GOD blessed - Abraham, Isaac, Job, Solomon, David....... AND read Malachi 3:10 - does God keep His Word?
OK so two MacArthur sycophants ignore that MacArthur controls his organisation, that nepotism rules and millions are passed each year to family members, that he owns outright in the US alone three homes ... They totally ignored investigations into the awarding of degrees without proper verification and record keeping as well as the bullying and intimidation that was found to be rife among students and particularly staff in MacArthur's organisation.. A God forsaken place and a God forsaken organisation !! A God forsaken man !!

John MacArthur is very blessed to have a coworker for the Lord in Phil Johnson. When I worked for another rather large ministry, I saw the importance of faithful coworkers. May God bless this ministry, and may they continue on in the Lord.
Pastor John MacArthur is an outstanding Pastor and Educator of the Gospel. I love his ‘telling it like it is’ style of preaching, and he isn’t “woke” about it either. I am sure there are those who may be irritated with him who are “woke” and would just love it if he would just water down the gospel so they would feel comfortable.
Today more than ever, we need more pastors like him that will say what needs to be said, and do what needs to be done.
John MacArthur is so money hungry that they have not even passed the plate for tithes in 10 months. I came out of charismatic teaching at 57 by viewing the Strange Fire Conference and have continued to grow through his expository preaching. God bless Dr. MacArthur!!!!
@@martyroth2994 and?? You say that as if that’s something to be ashamed of in and of itself.
@@martyroth2994 is it wrong or a sin for a pastor to be wealthy as long as they don't acquire it by preaching the prosperity gospel.
@@martyroth2994 The thing is the Gospel of the Bible isn't "God wants to prosper you" its " We are all sinners in need of a savior". The prosperity gospel ignores the Gospel of the Bible in favor of pleasing sinners. Having wealth is not a sin but coming to God with the intentions of being prospered instead of being saved from God's wrath is a sin. That is where the criticism of the prosperity gosple comes from.

Wicked manipulation by misuse of scriptures bordering upon Witchcraft to mind control ignorant " believers " for financial gain rampant today ‼
For God's glory, DR. John MacArthur is one of God's defenders of the truth who has shaken the globe by the powerful proclamation of the true Gospel. So what do you expect? The Devil will try to use available people to ruin his reputation to discourage the lost from hearing his life-giving message of biblical truth.

John MacArthur lives in my town and I ran into him and his wife coming out of a local restaurant. I thanked him for his teachings since 1980, when I was in the amazing Grace Community Church Jr. High group at the time, and he was so humble. Such a blessed and scholarly man put on this Earth to do God's work.
Be careful. As a general rule most people are gracious and can act humble when you are fawning all over them. You will not discover a person’s true character until you see how they respond when criticized or maligned or under stress.
What a blessing to have run into such a great humble man of God I’m sure you felt blessed
WOLF 🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺
Jesus warned you. You have no need that any MAN should teach you. Why are you so lazy?

Well said.

I live on the outskirts of Columbia, dear Pastor Justin, and had I known you were going to be there last year, I would have asked my Lord to make a way for me to come and hear you preach in person!!! To God be the GLORY!!!💞
Satan's attacks always come the hardest against those who preach the truth. “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account." (Matthew 5:11). I have no doubt that Pastor MacArthur will continue to preach the truth, regardless of the attacks. And they will continue to come, even harder. God will watch over Pastor MacArthur as he continues to preach the Word.
Sometimes Christians, even pastors allow themselves to be lured into Satan’s footholds. That’s why Scriptures is full of such warnings.
No one is perfect in the knowledge of God's word. 1Cor13:9.
We are to preach Jesus Christ and not preach the faults of others. Let the master judge his servants for himself.
Those ministries that continue to preach the faults of others should be taken with a pinch of salt.
Blowing out somones candle doesn't light your own.
Everyone is persecuted for something. Nobody is more special than anyone else. We all fall short. I still enjoy the teachings, but it really made me wonder when John MacArthur states you can be forgiven for taking the mark of the beast. Sheep in wolves clothing?? Only God really knows. Makes me sick to think about it although I do. I hope this lie doesn't keep someone from coming to Jesus.
Being able to download, for FREE, hose sermons changed my life!!! 100% hands down.

Yet there is something even more disturbing. God said He preserved His word. Psalm12:6,7. You say He did not!
In fact your bible changes those verses I believe. They remove the precious promise.
John MacArthur knows clearly that the NASB quotes Jesus in a lie. He simply corrected it, I believe, by saying that some bibles have the words, not yet going. Should he not have said, BLASPHEMY! when he read the lie?
Instead he promotes it.
Where? In John 7:8 his Jesus tells his brothers I am not going to the feast.
Jesus actually said I am not going up yet to the feast. KJB. They both wait and then go to the feast. Which one lied? Your Jesus. He said he was not going. How vile to accuse Jesus of lying!!!
Jesus is God. He is coming for His bride. For those who love Him first. He will be second to none, no matter how perfect your deeds are. Revelation 2:1-5.
Will you put a man before Him? Will you be more loyal to him than God? If you are truly John Mac's friends are you not to call the man to account? You cannot get more loving than that.
To promote the NASB is mind boggling. It was the first to add brackets to cast doubt on God's word.

This is highly likely
I agree wealth is not evil.
We are to judge the true and the false from their fruits. What are the fruits of those who follow macarthur's teachings?
What I see are believers who are VERY WEAK IN THE FAITH OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. They are clueless about walking as He walked having a PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP with the FATHER.
They have FORM OF RELIGION but Deny The Power so they aren't lead to heal the sick, cast out demons and raise the dead. We are to AVOID THEM - 2Timothy 3:5. The POWER referred to in the scripture is the same word for POWER referred to by The LORD in Acts 1:8 and Luke 24:49, in the Greek. The manifestation of The Power was seen in Acts 2, which was the BAPTISM of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other Tongues.
I am not sure if macarthur preaches REPENTANCE as a precondition to Salvation. (First part of Acts 2:38. Read from verses 36-39). That will bring a person to the place of Adam, who was created (not a Son of God) without sin. Such a person is not a Temple of the Holy Spirit with the Spirit of The LORD dwelling in the Person - 1Corinthians 3:16, 6:19.
They do not have the Mind of Christ or The Power to do His Works. They interpret the "will" of The LORD through their reasoning which is declared IMPOSSIBLE to understand spiritual truth - Romans 8:5, 1Corinthians 2:9-16. GOD is Spirit - John 4:24. You HAVE TO BE BORN AGAIN OF THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD to be one with Him.
A person who ONLY TRULY REPENTS but cannot follow up on the other TWO parts of SALVATION - if they repent on their deathbed or someone prays for their forgiveness under John 20:23, will not go to hell but will have no Authority to walk in The Authority of GOD on the earth.
The LORD walked as a man ANOINTED with The HOLY Spirit - Acts 10:38. The Father was IN Him - John 10:30-39. His Spirit therefore was Holy and Of The Father GOD - 1Timothy 3:16. His Soul was still of Adam and He was in sinful flesh - Romans 8:3. He had the Spirit without measure. He controlled His Soul by obeying The Father in Him in all He did - John 5:30. (satan at the time He walked on the earth before overcoming death, was not defeated. The LORD had Authority to defeat satan because He was also the Son of Man John 5:27). In Romans 1:3-4, we see Him overcoming death, completely defeating satan and becoming The SON of GOD seated at The Right Hand of The Father with Power - Ephesians 2:6.
This is why He said that we should rejoice that He was going back to The Father in a place of POWER and Authority as GOD with complete Victory and darkness vanquished. He would no longer be a man with the Spirit of GOD in Him and anointed with The HOLY Spirit, while satan was yet to be defeated on the earth by His Sacrifice for our sins and the sins of all creation. In 1John 4:17 we are told we are just like Him on this earth. He also told us that we would do greater things than He did because satan was no longer with power, the power satan had, when The LORD Jesus walked the earth, before He overcame death and became The Son of GOD with Power - John 14:12.
We have to recognize, call forth and implement that VICTORY in our every situation- bodies, other people affecting our space etc.
It is only our ignorance that can allow a fully defeated enemy to have access to our space with his nature to kill, steal and destroy - Hosea 4:6, John 10:10.
macarthur is a heretic because he does not preach the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other Tongues with the Power of The HOLY Spirit, dwelling in the Believer who becomes a Temple of The HOLY Spirit - 1Corinthians 3:16, 6:9.

I don't touch christmas easter and honor the sun god on sunday (though no day is evil by itself).
You should consider getting saved - Acts 2:36-39 and having a Personal Relationship with The LORD Jesus Christ. He is NOT a religion.
Don't blame The LORD GOD when you suffer because it is ONLY satan who comes to kill, steal and destroy - John 10:10. Nor should you cry persecution when The LORD tells us that you suffer for your IGNORANCE!
I remember when that about Pastor John pop up in my feed. I didn’t believe that lies, they are trying to malign Pastor’s character. He stands for the truth
Of course. He stood up to the government, he is winning in court, so now the smear campaign begins.
@@paulrobinson9318 you speak of heretical behavior. Doesn’t the Bible tell you precisely what to do if someone misrepresents God? I’ll give you a hint, you aren’t doing it by posting here and are engaging in your own heretical crusade.
The Satanist, globalist, anti-American mega-tech types HATE the Lord and the men/women who preach, speak and study fervently THE Gospel of Jesus Christ! Why? Because those of us that do our best to live by His infallible Word WILL NOT WORSHIP THEM! We WILL NOT worship their EVIL political party (maybe BOTH these days!) not them, their gadgets (which I really enjoy, but do not worship!) their governments, nor the ‘environment’. As for me I will worship He Who created the environment, for us to CARE FOR as we come to the end of the LAST generation!
@@paulrobinson9318 I am glad you are open to suggestions.
Was it not you who condemned mr MacArthur with your own enigmatic post?
You made an accusation, it wasn’t to him, and you didn’t even back it up.
Regarding my post, I challenged you to do as the Bible asks. If you have a problem with a Christian brother, behaving as you are is not the way.
You concluded he is heretical and that somehow makes him a non-brother which justifies you to treat him like a non believer. That is a serious accusation when many view him to be a brother.
I’m well aware of false prophets and the warnings against them but I point you back to your original enigmatic post. You asserted with no substance. You speak about another believer behind his back, and you aren’t seeking elders to intervene.
You claim to know enough about the Bible to determine he is a heretic, I apologize for assuming you knew enough from the same Bible regarding how to address conflict.
Alas, I was mistaken. I shall not do so again.
Romans 14:1. Accept those whose faith is weak without quarreling over disputable matters.
Do not rebuke an older man [or, elder] harshly, but exhort him as if he were your father.” (1 Timothy 5:1
Matthew 18:15-17
“If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector
James 4:11
Do not speak evil against one another, brothers. The one who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks evil against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge.
John 15:17
These things I command you, so that you will love one another
@@paulrobinson9318 I didn't read your reply. I said what I needed to say and frankly am not interested in your defensive argument against what I observed. You have a beef with an individual and you choose to publicly belittle him. There is no honor in that. Have a good day.
I LOVE that you used a Star Wars clip! Especially that one! Love John MacArthur - he’s my favorite Bible teacher. While no man is perfect, he speaks sound, orthodox, Biblical truth in a world governed by deceit and delusion, so unbelievers and false believers want to tear him down.
Amen!!
Wow, this was informative but it breaks my heart that you guys even had to reveal these details about Dr. MacArthur, GTY, your families, etc. because of these recent baseless and slanderous attacks. Thank you for your courage and your commitment to be transparent as ministers of the Gospel.

I am glad you did this video so that people can see that John Macarthur is a humble man of God that gives way more than he gets. I know that I have sent off for some of his books and if a person can't afford a donation, then they have actually given some of them for free. Keep spreading God's word brother Macarthur, you have been a blessing in my, and my husband's lives.
@Adam H I checked out your comment and I did see where his son Mark and his Business Partner Cravette were implicated in Nondisclosure of how the Funds will be used to pay themselves. I can't find if they have been convicted. I know that they have been Ordered to pay out $16,000,000 to their Clients. These type of things happen daily in the Financial Investment World. Don't get me to go down that Rabbit Hole. But I will say that doesn't have to do with John's Sermons and his very sound Biblical Doctrine. I am glad my parents weren't Judged because of my actions in my teens and early twenties. I wasn't stealing but I was a Hellion. I was raised correctly but I rebelled as God knew I would. I am thankful for every whipping I got. So I don't think John is responsible for his son's actions. And I checked and Mark is not involved in the Church on the Board and both don't have control of the Purse of Grace Church. If John Writes Books he has a right as any Author to make a dollar. If he spends his time in Ministry of the Church like being over a Funeral and goes to the Hospitals and homes to visit and comfort his flock he deserves to get a check. It is the Deacon Board that decides how much he gets paid. John MacArthur is Sound in what he preaches and teaches. He give good direction. He preaches the Milk and the Meat. That is harder to find every day.
He isn’t humble. He is a power crabbing and a hypocrite
OK so two MacArthur sycophants ignore that MacArthur controls his organisation, that nepotism rules and millions are passed each year to family members, that he owns outright in the US alone three homes ... They totally ignored investigations into the awarding of degrees without proper verification and record keeping as well as the bullying and intimidation that was found to be rife among students and particularly staff in MacArthur's organisation.. A God forsaken place and a God forsaken organisation !! A God forsaken man !!
I worked in Christian publishing for 8 years. Authors (especially celebrity authors) often get significant numbers of free copies of their books to give away. It’s called marketing. Keep in mind it cost JM personally nothing and allows him to continue to promote himself to give books away free to those who can’t afford to pay. It’s good publicity.
Truth hits vital nerves. John MacArthur doesn’t shy away from preaching the gospel-preaching unvarnished truth will have its detractors. Thx for the interview!
calvinism is unvarnished truth??? proclaiming that God is a reckless tyrant, responsible for the sin of the sinners?? people don't cease astonishing me

@@leia072306 I see you still swinging around all the comments with your clueless accusations. Do you enjoy being so clueless? It will help you to listen to some solid biblical teachings from John MacArthur
He has been a prolific writer over the years and has a ton of books on Amazon, many of those books I have bought myself.
Seek first the Kingdom of God and ALL the rest will be ADDED unto you. So if John is seeking the Kingdom AND the rest gets added unto him please can someone explain where the problem is?
@early 5oo Im Just saying why shouldn't he have a nice house?
John MacArthur bought his Santa Clarita home back in the 1980's, and obviously like everything else, has appreciated over time. The other two locations are for family and privacy and they were at very normal home costs. Anyway, ajar John MacArthur earns from his books and other private earnings, is his own business. John MacArthur does not live the prosperity lifestyle by a long shot ...
When McArthur condemned the so-called prosperity preachers, everyone joined him in throwing stones at them and quoting many scriptures on 'Godliness' and 'treasures in heaven'. When McAthur's lifestyle is questioned the same people suddenly remember and come up with scriptures on why prosperity is ok😂😂😂. Liars and pseudo-non-prosperity preachers!
@@romans1478 You really nail it.
@@romans1478 wait is John MacArthur asking his congregation to help him buy a brand new jet? Or does he just own some homes that are now worth millions becuase of the housing market in CA?

@@bornokevelyn Please don't question Christianity or Jesus. That's not the way for us to go forward.

Jesus loves you.
@@bornokevelyn If you question your belief, you were never a Christian to begin with. I don't mean that in a snarky way either. God brings you to repentance when you are born again, you cannot jump in and out of being a "Christian". Once you are born again, there is no going back, otherwise you are a false convert. 1 John 2:19 explains this.
This breaks my heart. I am so pleased by you both who would testify to Dr, MacArthur's integrity. Why do people find purose in defaming another, yet, I'm well aware of the attempts by some to slander men of God. I found myself tossed to and fro by modern teachings until I was confused. So I ask God to help me search for true bible teachers and I found John Mac and John Piper. I have realized greater peace sitting at their feet. God bless you both for, Eph 5:11

THank you for doing the interview! I am extremely grateful for MacArthur's ministry and yours! He has stood firm on the Word of God all these years and has tried to warn of the dangerous trends in the evangelical world. If only more people would listen!
Listening to Pastor John MacArthur brings me joy. As a true present truth messenger of God his no nonsense straight forward approach to God’s word is powerful (always on point) and presented in such a way that even a newcomer to the faith can understand the Bible.

Evil WOLF
I listen to GTY podcasts every morning to shearing sheds in Central West NSW Australia. Such a blessing and breakfast of the word!
Johnson: “The truth is, not one of John MacArthur’s kids is on staff at Grace Church, not one.”
Several minutes later he announced that MacArthur’s eldest son is on the board of GTY, supposedly purely and simply for the purpose of preserving MacArthur’s legacy. Johnson: “We want to make sure that someone still has a hand in the ministry and has the families best interests at heart.. We have made it a point to keep at least one member of John’s family on the board at all times. At one point, two of his sons were on the board, Mark and Matt, right now its Matt. We intend to keep it that way.” MacArthur’s son is also the treasurer and signs cheques for GTY, apparently due to logistics and convenience since other board members do not live nearby. Johnson is also on the board of GTY. According to Johnson, the board of GTY consists of mostly disinterested parties with no vested interest in the ministry. During the video it emerged that Johnson’s son is also employed by GTY. Johnson also referred vaguely to other employees as “anyone who is related to John”. Johnson confirmed that the financial reports for GTY are not publicly available. The obvious question is: Why are GTY resistant to making their financial information available in the public domain if they have nothing to hide?
MacArthurs son-in-law Kory Welch and his companies appear to have received approximately $7,610,399 from Grace to You and The Master’s University between 2003 and 2016. {
....and his companies...well, presumably there are some employees, and this is a stretch of 13-14 years. Is that too much? Well maybe. Or maybe not.
Wow, isn't it wonderful? Jesus said, "I will build my church and "keep at least one member of John's sons on board . . . to make sure that someone still has a hand in the ministry and has the family's best interests at heart." I didn't know the church depended so much on MacArthurian flesh to survive and to preserve the pristine legacy of someone like John MacArthur's. WOW! Thanks!!! I'm sure we would never have made it without the MacArthur clan.
@@lessingtom 😂. Your comment is spot on 👍.
I’m confused. You can be a board member and not be staff. I do not see the issue concerning Kory. I would hire those I know versus those I don’t , I would trust them more.
WHO CARES??! Your jealousy is very unattractive. John MacArthur is treasure given to us by God. Yet you try to tear him down.
Way to go Julie, the more people like you who rant and rave in your wrath, envy and pride, the more money I am compelled to give to Dr. MacArthur's ministry, and the more sinners that can be saved by his outreach. I have a feeling there are many others who feel this way across the country (I'm from way over in Massachusetts)...it's all very providential in bringing more people to Christ.
You are wrong fella! John is going to answer for having over 14 million dollars and his wealthy lifestyle. Earned of off Jesus word.
Bull, that gate is very wide
Lol, people feel the same way about Peters “ranting and raving.”
This is not the way to reach more people for Christ. Ungodly attitudes.
That “woman” is now in some serious trouble. Reap what you sow.
To Julie Roys - “He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous, Both of them alike are an abomination to the LORD.”

I have used my computer to listen to RC Sproul and John MacArthur and Justin Peters often and as a Baptist deacon and Christian I feel I have the right Bible Pastors in the world. Thank You and God for his leading to you.
Listening to J.Mac on my local radio station inevitably brought me out of the pentecostal church which we were in when we (my wife and I) were born-again. GTY sent me the book "Truth Endures" and it changed everything! I started buying John's books faithfully and learned leaps and bounds from where I was in the pentecostal system. My spirit aligned with the Holy Spirit and got us on the right track. That in fact naturally lead us to other ministries and pastors such as : R.C, Voodie, Paul Washer, Justin P. They showed us the stark contrast between what they were teaching as opposed to what the likes of TBN is doing. Thanks be to our God, Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit for leading us to truth!
Are you the Calvinism stalker/police P. Rose?
So grateful for pastor John’s life. Pursuing Christ makes so much sense to me after listening to his sermons.
If he has served faithfully for these many years, he absolutely deserves what he has. I mean how can one be humble even now.
How evil and full of grudge can people get.
True! If Someone worked for one company 50 years, figured out the salary , why minister has to be poor ? By no means !
For me, personally, I'm always uncomfortable when a pastor is wealthy, but the message and the pastor's CONSISTENCY is what is important. For the sake of argument: if Pastor MacArthur has an unhealthy view of money, that is yet being tempered by the Holy Spirit dwelling within him, that makes him a human being with a sin nature, which is how we ALL are.
I have seen some accusatory figured of his wealth. Compared to what a man of his influence would make in a for profit position, it is very modest.
Jesus NEVER took salary. Nor did the Apostles. Paul was an itinerant preacher and accepted donations. MacArthur needs to repent along with all paid "pastors" and hit the streets preaching the gospel, giving away all his money. That is what I and several others have done.
@@PR-cq4zc where do you live?! How do you feed yourself? How long have you been preaching? Do you give offerings n donations? Who are your associates? You married? Sound like a soldier deployed at your own expense. I don't think anyone will earn heaven.
@@PR-cq4zc have you never read "a worker is worthy of his wages". So anyone else can be wealthy expect God's people?! When God is the one who "gives power to gain wealth". God blesses his people with wealth. Your thinking Is wrong. Jesus owns it all, he doesn't need a salary.
Toom many unnecessary question. I work and live alone and depend solely on God. Read Luke 14:33. That is what did it for me. I once was wealthy in the world's sight. Now I am rich in God. You should do the same.
Just remember folks, when they decide to give us a choice. Choose option “B” - “release barrabas”. Fulfill your destiny and don’t pause for a moment in your haste to be judgmental.
Thank you to Phil and Justin for clarifying the facts. When a pastor is in receipt of the Holy Spirit Christ's sheep hear His voice. I hear the truth in Pastor John's sermons on very many occasions. I am more than convinced he is one of the most accurate teachers of the Bible today, only because if what he teaches. However, his fan group quotes and postings do sometimes alarm. None of us are above reproach. None of us are perfect in the flesh. Christ knows that, and He chooses His true disciples for good reason at critical times in human history. Pastor John is one of the very few preachers who is teaching essential truth in these End Days. OK, I have had thoughts about the number of suits and ties Pastor John has, but it's not what we own that becomes the problem more than why we own it and how. I have heard some bitter and nasty comments and videos about him and agree they are an attempt to discredit him. I don't personally know Pastor John or his family. What matters to me, and should matter to all of us, is Gospel truth and whether the Church is helping us to know Christ and advance our faith. Thank you again for this interview. God bless.🙏😀
"Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which. leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it"
It is shocking to me how many people lack even the most basic discernment. Just look at all those who follow people like Kenneth Copeland or comment in favor of Joshua Chavez.
God Bless Justin Peters, John MacArthur and Phil Johnson, who will walk thru the narrow gate.
Human fails...but not God..all those ministers of old had flaws and failure but God's plan prevails...controversies are proof...that only God deserves glory...you may fail i might fail but God is still our stronghold.....God sustained me with only 30 dollars support a month.....i have no car but im not envious to anyone who got prestigious life

I have a library full of free CD's and books given to me since 1995 from GTY. Never have I been pressed for donations and only receive a mail out once a month. May God bless JM and his faithfulness to the Word.
Leave the giving to others?
They were given to me as free. I did not say I never gave. I just was never pressured to donate. Always a tongue set on fire that will one day have to give an account. Drink a glass of cold water and if you don't have one I can get it for you.
If they aren’t being criticized and persecuted and frankly hated, then they’re doing something wrong. Anytime I see a pastor being praised by mainstream media then I know who to run away from.
Edit-my husband gets free stuff from Grace Community church each month including packets and one of John MacArthur study bibles, from across the country. If you mail them, they send stuff for free. To me, that is the opposite of greed.
"The more public your place, and the more eminent your service for God, the greater the probability that Satan is at that very moment hatching some deadly scheme against you. If even the cadet corps need to be armed against Satan's bullets of temptation, how much more the commanders and officers, who stand in the front lines of battle!" ~ William Gurnall: The Christian in Complete Armour, pg 84 ~
May the Lord continue to bless you Mr. Peters and those at GTY, my beloved brothers and sisters in Christ! I appreciate your front line work, which, by Grace, is the fruit of your faith, so that cadets such as myself have been tremendous beneficiaries over the years!
That is why people of God who are in positions of authority must be ever diligent to insure there is nothing impure or even suspect in their life that can be used against them.
In this case there is a bit of what one could question as being nepotism as there are 4 individuals employed by an identity with close ties to the Church, those being 2 sons of John MacArthur and his son-in-law and the son of Phil Johnson. If there is any loose thread in our armour you are sure that Satan will do his best to hang us with it.
