@@craigclose8322 🙏very sad for you Sir . You certainly do not understand the security we all have that God does not change . His Word was revealed in Jesus Christ . And everything pertaining to Life and Godliness is contained within scripture 🙏
Satan can make smart men look foolish Especially when it comes down to the apostate teaching of the trinity Well knowledgeable scholars have tried so hard to support it and cant even explain it
I too have learned so much from Dr. John Mac Arthur and praise our dearest Abba Father for helping me to get him on my phone. I give God all tbe Glory.
Pastor John ,you sir are my favorite pastor in the whole world .. verse by verse is the best teaching I discovered and I’m thankful to my Lord and God and you sir for your teaching with such accuracy and great reverence /thank you Pastor John and god bless you continually!!🙏
I completely agree, I was very fortunate to have met him. Wonderful man, truly a man of God our Heavenly Father. In Jesus Christ's Holy name, blessing to all, and all the Glory to the Father, Son, and Holy spirit.
Dr MacArthur has a way of putting the gospel that is so easy to understand. Praise God that we live in a time where we can hear godly preaching no matter how remote. Thank you Dr MacArthur for your service and life given to the true gospel, no matter how unpopular it is.
i love listening to and learning from an authentic and wise man of God and i thank God for the knowledge and wisdom and the Word of God rightly divided
Thank you Father God for your faithfulness in using Dr MacArthur to preach TRUTH to the masses for such a time as this. Thank you for his steadfastness to studying and disseminating YOUR Word to a lost world.
Thank you for this message. Please pray for me. I’m facing homelessness with my two small children. Every month is a struggle. My life living with lupus has it’s ups and downs. I’m in a lot of pain swollen joints, fevers out of nowhere and fatigue are just a few, because of my condition I declined the vaccine, and was fired over my decision. Since than I’ve been struggling to provide for myself and my two autistic children. My husband passed away three years ago, so I’m all alone. I have no family nor friends. Both of my sons are non verbal so as a mommy things can be a little more difficult. We are facing homelessness we have nowhere to go. I’m so embarrassed because of my situation. I have no family nor friends to help me, but I have nothing but Faith that God will provide. Keep Faith in Him. Please pray for us durning this time. Thank you.
My heart hurts for you! There are Autistic support groups! Also there are many church ministries. Where are you located? I'm a RN have contacts. So what are you willing to endure and do! Reply through this post.

Wonderful interview. Really appreciate both men: John MacArthur has been a faithful servant of the Lord in ministry for over 50 years. He is a true soldier of the Lord. And Josh Buice has done a great job of bringing the Word of God to the forefront of the Christian faith through G3. Both men stand on the supernatural, sanctifying, and sufficient Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
2022-02-24 ... PLEASE pray for me, and marriage to my beloved wife Katherine ... I'm about to have a major breakdown after seven weeks apart, I pray often, I desperately need The Lord's guidance and a miracle ... "thank you" ...
I saw an interview with a group of some translators of the ESV. One said he didn't use the word "slave" because as an American, it made him uncomfortable. Translation guided by white guilt. You can find the interview online. Incredible.
Peterson's Message translation sounds like a fairy tale. I had purchased the message many years ago and gave it to a friend who is Roman Catholic with the hope that she would question. Never heard any comment from her! Let's pray for our Catholic people!
I was growing up as Catholic in Korea and deception of false religion is blind leads blind. Fortunately I met American while I was working as an interpreter and found “ grace to you “ radio program from pastor John MacArthur. Through pastor John MacArthur’s biblical teaching , I was saved and my husband who was addicted to cocaine also saved at the drug rehabilitation center. I pray for pastor John MacArthur everyday that God will continue use him for His kingdom and glory and protect him by the power of His name till he finish his mission in this side of the world .

@@judylloyd7901 yahweh is hebrew . Jehovah is the English name Jesus name means Jehovah is salvation Sad they accept English name of Jesus but attack Jehovahs name Scholars have removed Jehovahs name and replaced it with LORD Do you think God accepts that kind of action against his holy name ? It's the same God just different language
John is such a humble man and highly esteemed by many including myself. Minute mark 21:30 is definitely one of the issues that is affecting Churches today. (Social Justice & the Gospel) I am waiting on the Legacy Standard Bible to come with a concordance.. I wonder if that's the plan?
I think you can order from Amazon or directly from “grace to you “ I recommend this version highly cause the translators went back to the original Hebrew, Aramaic , Greek of every verses in order to double check it’s accuracy.
That has been my belief, that if you do not begin with the ABSOLUTE SOVEREIGNTY of GOD our CREATOR, IF you cannot believe Genesis 1:1 IMO you will never have a foundation of bedrock. If one you chooses to be seperated frrom GOD here in the temporal this one has choosen by default hell and eternal seperation from the Creator, YHWH.
Genesis 1:26 then God said, let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let THEM have dominion… seems to me that if God said it, even if your a Calvinist you should acknowledge that it is true. It doesn’t diminish God’s sovereignty to say that He did what He did… give mankind dominion over the works of His hands
CRT started with a professor named Bell and maybe before. Come on Christian research! Don't wait to be fed go search! Sorry I get upset with Christian's who need to Step up !!!
@@idaliaamigo1346 Maybe if you kindly pointed him in the right direction, rather than be rude about it. I get upset with "Christians" who dont demonstrate fruits of the Holy Spirit.
GOD is SPIRIT and GOOD SPIRIT and as HIS GOOD SPIRITS LIVES Everlastingly so also Your Good Spirits in Christ Lives Continually Everlastingly.Be more interested about the Positive Good Spirits of the LORD GODFATHER in Christ for It is Eternal and Are the Spiritual Bread of Your Eternal Good Souls in Christ.
The sovereignty of God position seemingly destroys any argument for the morality of an eternal heaven or hell. If we don't know the reasons for the bad things that happen to us, or because of us, then we can't be blamed for getting it wrong or credited for getting it right. In the absence of any explanation, any response whatsoever from Job, for example, during his trials would have been justified, because he knew nothing about the bet between God and Satan. He remained true to God, as the story goes, even though he should have been pissed. I've often wondered if Job would have gone to hell if he had gave God the middle finger (the justifiable response) to the gambit, or if Abraham had refused to sacrifice his son. IMHO, "God is sovereign" is the worst explanation for the undeniable existence of unexplained suffering and evil.
To me it is very simple to know who the true God is, that's when I go outside lift up my face and open my eyes look towards heaven, all the things that I see, that I can't even imagine, how perfect and marvelous The Works of the Living God, in the book of Psalm, said, the fool said in his heart there is no God, he is fool, I believe if there is no God, no Heaven and no earth, and nothing at all, and how fool are those that say there is no God. They become corrupt, and they die with no mercy, if they don't repent of their deed they will face the Wrath of God.
Calvinist have to take their interpretation of God’s sovereignty, that He controls every thought, action, sin, good deed, etc, to the logical conclusion that it’s not just God’s will that people sin, but that God Himself even compels a person to sin. Their sinful acts are mandated by God. I believe this error can be debunked with just one verse, “But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.”
In urban India, the individual Church member cannot but get proactive and depend on the Holy Spirit to operate with discernment, in the present-day Church, to guard and grow in their relationship with the Triune God because the Pastors have become very self-seeking and not, even in a superficial way, concerned as to where their flocks are heading. It's not about having missed their calling, it's more about it they responded to a call at all as they seem to be driven by ulterior motives from the way they live their lives. Sad.
In Genesis 3^14, GOD identified Himself as "Eheyeh Asher Eheyeh" (I Am Who I Am). "YHWH" in the following verse does not contain vowel points here. However, generally in the Masoretic Text "YHWH" is pointed with vowels from "Adonai" (my Lord, translated as the LORD) to be read "Adonai". Due to misunderstanding, this combination of consonants & vowels resulted in the hybrid misreading "Jehovah". Some Jews read YHWH as "HaShem" (The Name). The true vowels of YHWH are lost. The first vowel might be qametz gadol (long a) from "Yah" occuring elsewhere in the Text. The other vowel segol (short e) is a guess.
If God is drawing you, if you desire to deny yourself, take up your cross and follow Christ, then thank God! Jesus said that no one can come to Him except the Father draws him. And he who comes He will in no wise cast out. Read the gospel of John. Then read the letter of 1 John. The Bible tells us to examine ourselves to see if we are in the faith. If you do that, and the Bible assures you, then cling to that. Years ago I was dealing with the same doubts. I went through the New Testament and underlined the scriptures I found that reassured me, and every time the doubt returned I would just go through and read aloud all the verses I had underlined. It's important not to rest in a false assurance of salvation. But it's important to allow the Holy Spirit through the scriptures, to reassure your heart if you are truly His. 😊😁👍
One of the most common expressions one hears in Christian circles, especially for reassurance when things aren't going well, is that "God is in control, He's still on the throne." Christians comfort themselves with these words-but what do they mean? Was God not "in control" when Satan rebelled and when Adam and Eve disobeyed, but now He is? Does God's being in control mean that all the rape, murder, war and multiplied evil is exactly what He planned and desires? Christ asks us to pray, "Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven" (Matthew 6:10). Why that prayer if we are already in God's kingdom with Satan bound, as John Calvin taught and Reconstructionists claim today? Could a world of rampant evil really be what God wills? Surely not! "Wait a minute!" someone counters. "Are you suggesting that our omnipotent God is unable to effect His will upon earth? What heresy is this! Paul clearly says that God 'worketh all things after the counsel of his own will' (Ephesians 1:11)." Yes. But the Bible itself contains many examples of men defying God's will and disobeying Him. God laments, "I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me" (Isaiah 1:2). The sacrifices they offer Him and their evil lives are obviously not according to His will. We are told that "the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected for themselves the counsel of God" (Luke 7:30). Christ's statement in Matthew 7:21 shows clearly that everyone doesn't always do God's will. That is implied also in Isaiah 65:12; 1 Thessalonians 5:17-19; Hebrews 10:36; 1 Peter 2:15; 1 John 2:17 and many other scriptures. In fact, Ephesians 1:11 doesn't say that everything that happens is according to God's will, but according to "the counsel " of His will. Clearly the counsel of God's will has given man freedom to disobey Him. There is no other explanation for sin.
Love John and love his teaching, but this promotion for yet another unneeded Bible translation turned me off on this one. John used the KJV in his early days and I wished he would have stayed there.
I'm saying the KJV is God's preserved Word, yes. It was what we had for more than 400 years from God before people decided to start copywriting God's Word supposedly by changing words so they could sell and make money. Not to mention that the manuscripts these new translations use are corrupt.@@danielalexander9320
.... What is the truth? Jesus is the way! .... to what? Alot of people forget when reading the bible, to use Jesus as the standard, when everything needs to line up with what He said! When you do all sorts of truth will be shared with us! In the end it's the truth that sets you free! We learn in James 2:19 that even the demons believe! Does that mean that the demons are saved? How do we know if we believe then? In order to find out if we believe in Jesus we must believe His word is truth. HIS word is first, not the apostles, not Paul and not your pastor or priest ... HIS! We need to read the words of our Messiah and use THEM as the standard. In that remember Jesus also said: Do """"ALL""""" that Moses said. Matthew 23:1-3 In John 5:47 Jesus says "But if you dont believe in Moses writings, how will you believe in His! In Luke 16:31 "" If they dont listen to Moses & the prophets, they won't listen if someone rises from the dead"" Gee I wonder do you who rose from the dead that He was talking about? It comes down to this; if you dont accept Moses writings, or the prophets, you won't accept what Jesus says. Jesus ""never contradicted the Father therefore He never contradicted what Moses wrote. Jesus didn't start a new religion. If He did, the pharisees would've crucified Him for that! Remember they found no fault in Him!!! That means when they studied the writings of Moses there wasn't any contradiction with what He said and what the Father had Moses write down. He didn't teach a new religion He came to show us "The Way" to walk out the old one. Don't let Jesus say to you "" Depart from me you who practice lawlessness"" Instead believe His words """ If you love me keep my commandments"""" His commands are exactly the fathers commands. These very commands that Moses wrote!
No, Reformed theology teaches God has already decided that. And I guess your logic would say those didn’t happen to watch this video or something like it are those God decided not to save. Rather capricious!
@@williamhenricks4569 No, if you keep on rebelling against Him, it means He does not will for you to be saved. God has no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but He will leave them in their sins and ultimately punish them. The only question really is, do you wish to be saved? Then believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved. Whoever comes to Him He will never cast out. Are you expecting another way to know whether or not a person is elect? God has willed you to be saved if you indeed go to Christ. That's all the Bible teaches.
It also isn't enough to "wish" to be saved. According to Reformed Theology you could just be given evanscent grace. Whereby God gives you a fleeting taste (or more accurately and polemically, a delusion) of what being saved is like . . . yet you are not and he has instead chosen before you were born to damn you.
REMEMBER the only way to repent and be saved by Christ acts 11:14-18, Luke 11:9-13 , Zeph 3:9/ Acts 2:4 and Heb 12:23 Just follow only the original gospel tradition teaching not different churches but Jesus will guide and teach you to the end. John 10:1-6, 11-16, Acts 4:12 and 1 John 2:24-25!
I really appreciate Dr. MacArthur, but either I am missing something or he is concerning the purpose of translation. If you want exactly what the writer was saying then stick with the original language. The goal of translation is to put what God said into language the reader will understand. As language changes and education gets worse, the translated wording has changed to produce the same understanding in the reader. From what I have seen I like the LSB. I'll have to wait for more to be printed to get the one I want.
Yeah, I reckon you are missing something! 😄😄 John MacArthur is talking about translating the original languages by carefully considering and teasing out the *words* and their *meaning* in the original languages, based on a knowledge and understanding of the life and times in which it was written, and what the writers *intended to convey.* Modern translations tend to focus primarily on what the modern reader *knows and understands* about life and times today, and *alter the language* to facilitate the readers' comprehension, *rather* than allowing the *preachers* to *explain and expound* the scriptures and their background and history to their congregations so they will grasp the writers' original intent. New translations do take into account the way language changes, but they sometimes focus more on the current reader than the intent of the original author. That's the point John MacArthur is making.
Search the word ‘sovereignty’ in the Bible and you’ll be hard pressed to find it. God rules without necessarily imposing a divine meticulous determinism. I commend Dr. MacArthur, but I respectfully disagree with the hermeneutics of his calvinist doctrine. God bless you all.
Daniel 4:34-37; Isaiah 46:8-11; both of these passages set forth God's sovereignty. By the way, just because you cannot find either the word sovereignty or Trinity in the Bible does not make either doctrine untrue.
@@Romans8-9 well salvation has always been determined by God and through what means, that’s His eternal plan, but He hasn’t predetermined or predetermined ahead who individually be saved. He knows who because of His omniscience, but has not picked deterministically who will or not by name (Romans 2:11).
@@osvaldoroman9957 "He hasn’t predetermined or predetermined ahead who individually be saved" Ephesians 1:4-5 says otherwise. The text says HE CHOSE US, not on anything based on what we did. If it was based on what we did, it would make his judgment partial. The argument that he is "impartial" when it comes to salvation is self-defeating since correctly choosing God and salvation would imply partiality. Moreover, there is a pattern of God choosing throughout scripture. First he chose Israel, a nation that would have other nations bow down before them. If we are going by your interpretation of "impartial", why did Israel get special treatment and apparent favoritism? Then he chose the Apostles. None more apparent than the election of Paul who was murdering Christians and yet God had to appear to him in order to save him. Where was Paul´s wisdom in choosing his salvation correctly while he was murdering Christians? Those who oppose unconditional election never have an adequate response for Paul but that "he was an exception", same with the Apostles. Interestingly, the Apostles are exceptions when it comes to election but not when it comes to spiritual gifts apparently. Another issue with your "prooftext" is that Romans 2:11 is referring to partiality in judgment when read in context with subsequent verses. When it comes to judgment, God will judge fairly but judgment is for those who are not in Christ. The idea that God is completely "impartial" across the board is categorically untrue. We see examples of what one would perceive as "favoritism". With Israel, with Jacob, with David. We see God decreeing he will bless certain individuals through no actions of their own while others are (deservedly) cursed for generations.
@@Romans8-9 EXACTLY‼️ He doesn’t preselect who will be elect individually, but on your long response, you go on to conflate election to salvation and election to service, two different things. Unlike you, I don’t have the time or desire to school you on this already classic and super refuted calvinist error. Simply put thought, the election of Israel to bring the scriptures and to fulfill God’s plan of blessing to all the nations and electing certain individuals to fulfill that plan, can’t be misapplied to imply individual election of persons. You can blurt of the usual calvinist proof texts out of context, but you would still be misinterpreting the Scriptures. So have at it friend.
@@HearGodsWord I first thought that (still may be present in the Murray's biography), but then I saw another video where MacArthur hints at Murray's forthcoming biography of Packer containing a chapter on Packer's involvement in Evangelicals and Catholics Together (ECT) in the 1990s. That's what MacArthur, Kennedy, and Sproul confronted Packer, Colson and others on their misguided support for ECT.

It's very amusing listening to John and other Calvanists work so hard to explain Sovereignty in a way that it denies Free Will. Why is it so difficult for him to understand that our Sovereign God created mankind and gave him a free Will. What is Free Will? God allows man to choose whether He wants to receive the free gift of salvation, or whether he wants to reject Christ and serve sin. Calvanist don't seem to believe a Sovereign God has the right to create man and then give him freedom to choose. Therefore, Calvanists have to assume that God created most people to go to hell, and He created a few people to go to heaven. McAuthur wrestles with the notion of God's Sovereignty and man's responsibility. His wrestling match is an effort to protect his misunderstanding of the truth of Free Will.

The fallen human will is not in the Bible. The sovereignty of God, and the pretext of no free will support the sophism of John Calvin. No one ever contested the sovereignty of God, saved us according to his own good pleasure. But we must choose life or death, blessing or cursing, and it is God himself who tells us to choose life. If we can choose, that requires free will. Think about it, we make choices every day, some are trivial and some are not. Don't make too much of theological jargon, the message of the gospel is simple. Reform theology is trash that has come down to us from ignorant men, who are ever learning and never coming to a knowledge of the truth. God has created us to do good works, moreover he has prepared the works beforehand and we shall be judged according to our works, good or bad. Let your light shine that men may see your good works, and glorify your father in heaven. Show me your faith without your works, show me the mercy and the love of God without good works. Without these things your religion is vain, Calvinism is vain.
Yeah ok........ Go back to School. Cling TIGHTLY to your free will........ You have Misrepresented everything negative in your condemnations...... No one is making you to go against your free will........keep it if you like....... if you can hold unto a vapor? PS
If he prepared the good works beforehand that we should walk in them, how exactly did you choose your salvation? Or did God only prepare your works on the basis of the foreknowledge of how you chose him?
You obviously disagree with the sovereignty of God as taught by the reformation. But I think you need to be careful not to slander someone based on your imperfect grasp of scripture. No one has all the truth. Not even you!!! Show some grace to people with whom you don't see eye to eye. 😊

Literally just had to complete a racial bias training video with assessment. It basically said white people don't realize they are racist but they are according to the training. Also that everyone else is a victim. I really look forward to the day there is no more evil.
Stay focus do not fun away that is what this white preacher it look like he want to split an atom the issue that is injustice ,wickedness on black in this case or on any one should be condemn by true Christians that is what is missing on this polished smooth talker I know it all white preacher and advocated by you what dude
I have some respect for MacArthur, but he won't teach on spiritual gifts that are clearly in the NT, I would never go to his church for that. Why would I? That's like saying "you can only have so much according to me, John MacArthur
@Ryan Buikema Acts 1 what? what vs? vs's? Acts ch 2 1-16 Refutes your "criteria" claim in chapter 1 considering that the gifts were among others in the room who were not apostles. Your chronology claim is meaningless considering that past references are used in present situations that validate the prior texts. Don't say "2" Timothy, cite the ch & vs to back your claim that you claim is accurate or inaccurate, not your opinion. We do speak in tongues today I know dozens of people who have that gift including myself, so you don't know what the hell you're talking about.
@Ryan BuikemaOh I do. Its clear that you have no concept of the baptism of the holy spirit and the day of Pentecost in Acts Ch 2 vs vs 1-8 The book of acts was to empower the church moving forward with the Baptism of the spirit. You have to copy and paste so many things? Where are you copying from? Where? What church are you a part of? The NT is about Jesus and grace moving forward, not Jewish Laws how were the Greeks to live by Jewish laws? Sorry again, you don't know what you're talking about but you learned it from what church or book?
You can read God's Sovereignty into many things said in the Bible, but the Bible never describes God thus. One would have to ask why you are so obsessed with it when the Scriptures are not? God is described as Holy which I understand to be His set apartness, otherness. Ever heard of the Holy of Holies where Gods presence dwelt. Ever heard about how the curtain therein was split open when Jesus died on the cross. Stop adding to scripture what it does not say. If He is all controlling as you describe Him, what happened in the Bible is meaningless. The Bible is about Him entering into our world to reveal Himself to us. Never does He call Himself Sovereign. Jesus came as a servant and is the exact representation of God. And God is Love. In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. 1 John 4:8-9 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful, it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends, 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 The Bible is the Word of God in its unique written form. But the Bible is not Jesus Christ, who is the living Word. The Bible was not born of a virgin, crucified, resurrected and elevated to the right hand of the Father. Neither is the Bible the word of God that is settled eternally in the heavens, as the psalmist says (Ps 119:89), expressing itself in the order of nature (Ps 19:1-4). The Bible is not the word of God that, in the book of Acts, expanded and grew and multiplied (Acts 12:24). It is not the word that Jesus spoke of as being sown by the active speaking of the ministry (Mt 13). Inerrancy by itself is not a sufficient theory of biblical inspiration because, as everyone knows, the Bible in our hand is not the original text. Inerrancy of the originals also does not guarantee sane and sound, much less error-free, interpretations. We need the living God who is present in and through His word, and is present when His word is spoken.
The Bible tells of the sovereignty of God through and through!! "Sovereign" means "supreme ruler." You can't honestly say that God as *supreme ruler* is *not* taught in scripture!!??!! 🤪🤪 You need to read it again! Time and again God tells His people that there is no God besides Him, that He is God and there is no other. Psalm 115:3, and Job 42:2 also convey the idea that God is sovereign ruler. He is omnipotent. That means all power belongs to Him. How could He *not* be supreme ruler!!?
@@judylloyd7901 Depends what you mean by Supreme Ruler Kim Jong-un is a Supreme Ruler. Jesus came as a suffering servant. Hardly a controling ruler. In Psalm 115 he is contrasted as being of steadfast love and your faithfulness against idols. It is a song about trusting God. Not His Sovereignty. Job 42 is about knowing God. Seeing with the eye or heart, not just hearing about. You may use Sovereign to describe Him, but He reveals Himself in too many other ways which have relevence to a relationship with Him. Sovereign is not one of them.
@@John-Christchurch-NZ Sovereign = supreme ruler. Jesus is not only a King, the Bible describes Him as *King of Kings and Lord of Lords.* You can't *get* any more supreme than that -- which is exactly the point the scriptures are making. I'm not discussing earthly rulers and comparing them to Christ, or Christ to them! I'm just pointing out that scripture represents God as supreme ruler and therefore sovereign over all. Which should be indisputable, since He is the Creator and God over all creatures and everything He has made! 😁😁👍
I have never witnessed the discussion of systematic racism spoke in such an eloquent and very ignorant way.I strongly suggest you fall on your knees and really listen to Yahweh. The fact that you are so right in some areas and so flagrantly wrong in other areas all in one conversation is astounding, and scary. The bottom line is that Yahweh weighs the heart of man and if racism just like any other sin is in there when you die. Then Hell is where you will lift your eyes. I pray for clarity for you sir. May Yahweh Bless you.
Can you be specific as to where he is wrong, rather than a general accusation? I recommend Voddie Bachmann, he's researched it for, I think it was, more than a decade.
His testimony contradicts his New Birth analogy in Jn vs 3. Beginning at 14:00 he's 9 yrs old realizes he's convicted of his sin and knew he needed Christ to change him. @14:45 he's college age has severe car accident decides to obey God so that his life doesn't get worse through God's doings. @ 15:00 says he doesn't know the exact moment of salvation but remembers going to his father and telling him he needs to be Saved. If we're already pre saved and have no part in the matter how can a dead man have all the conviction and coming to terms with the need for a new birth that he's not even aware of. Seems to be a religion of philosophy and rearranging the chairs on the titanic. Seems Calvinism is full of holes and not enough fingers to stop the leaks.
I challenge you to watch again. You will find that he isn't contradicting at all. We can have a conviction of sin and be challenged to be saved. We can even know we need to be saved. However, until the Holy Spirit quickens us we are dead and unable to respond. Read Romans 3. No one seeks after God. Scripture supports Calvinism if you are using the same definition I am. However, I don't know your definition, so I can't know if you use the same definition.
He didnt have a moment because he wasnt that rebellious as he himself admitted. The new birth is much more drastic for someone who has lived a life of sin unlike JMac. I dare say for people brought up in a healthy Christian upbringing, the new birth would be difficult to pinpoint.
I listen to Jim Brown Grace and Truth ministries on utube, he teaches predestination, not Calvinism, but, he teaches great Bible, he and John use to be friends.

@Mark Lundy you can read the Psalms and the N.T. online search for "Legacy Standard Bible"

That has been my belief, that if you do not begin with the ABSOLUTE SOVEREIGNTY of GOD our CREATOR, IF you cannot believe Genesis 1:1 IMO you will never have a foundation of bedrock. If one you chooses to be seperated frrom GOD here in the temporal this one has choosen by default hell and eternal seperation from the Creator, YHWH.
I disagree if your insinuation is that one must believe in six day creation interpretation og Genesis to be saved.
Genesis 1:26 then God said, let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let THEM have dominion… seems to me that if God said it, even if your a Calvinist you should acknowledge that it is true. It doesn’t diminish God’s sovereignty to say that He did what He did… give mankind dominion over the works of His hands
Adonai Yeshua Hamashiach is Lord of lords

The sovereignty of God position seemingly destroys any argument for the morality of an eternal heaven or hell. If we don't know the reasons for the bad things that happen to us, or because of us, then we can't be blamed for getting it wrong or credited for getting it right. In the absence of any explanation, any response whatsoever from Job, for example, during his trials would have been justified, because he knew nothing about the bet between God and Satan. He remained true to God, as the story goes, even though he should have been pissed. I've often wondered if Job would have gone to hell if he had gave God the middle finger (the justifiable response) to the gambit, or if Abraham had refused to sacrifice his son. IMHO, "God is sovereign" is the worst explanation for the undeniable existence of unexplained suffering and evil.
To me it is very simple to know who the true God is, that's when I go outside lift up my face and open my eyes look towards heaven, all the things that I see, that I can't even imagine, how perfect and marvelous The Works of the Living God, in the book of Psalm, said, the fool said in his heart there is no God, he is fool, I believe if there is no God, no Heaven and no earth, and nothing at all, and how fool are those that say there is no God. They become corrupt, and they die with no mercy, if they don't repent of their deed they will face the Wrath of God.
Calvinist have to take their interpretation of God’s sovereignty, that He controls every thought, action, sin, good deed, etc, to the logical conclusion that it’s not just God’s will that people sin, but that God Himself even compels a person to sin. Their sinful acts are mandated by God. I believe this error can be debunked with just one verse, “But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.”
Lockridge; Mcgee; few can compare.
Good interview, but mistitled.
In urban India, the individual Church member cannot but get proactive and depend on the Holy Spirit to operate with discernment, in the present-day Church, to guard and grow in their relationship with the Triune God because the Pastors have become very self-seeking and not, even in a superficial way, concerned as to where their flocks are heading. It's not about having missed their calling, it's more about it they responded to a call at all as they seem to be driven by ulterior motives from the way they live their lives. Sad.
In Genesis 3^14, GOD identified Himself as "Eheyeh Asher Eheyeh" (I Am Who I Am). "YHWH" in the following verse does not contain vowel points here. However, generally in the Masoretic Text "YHWH" is pointed with vowels from "Adonai" (my Lord, translated as the LORD) to be read "Adonai". Due to misunderstanding, this combination of consonants & vowels resulted in the hybrid misreading "Jehovah".
Some Jews read YHWH as "HaShem" (The Name).
The true vowels of YHWH are lost. The first vowel might be qametz gadol (long a) from "Yah" occuring elsewhere in the Text. The other vowel segol (short e) is a guess.
Its not foolishness!
Please John let there be an e on my back! I have alot of doubt,an e means elected
If God is drawing you, if you desire to deny yourself, take up your cross and follow Christ, then thank God!
Jesus said that no one can come to Him except the Father draws him. And he who comes He will in no wise cast out.
Read the gospel of John. Then read the letter of 1 John.
The Bible tells us to examine ourselves to see if we are in the faith. If you do that, and the Bible assures you, then cling to that.
Years ago I was dealing with the same doubts. I went through the New Testament and underlined the scriptures I found that reassured me, and every time the doubt returned I would just go through and read aloud all the verses I had underlined.
It's important not to rest in a false assurance of salvation. But it's important to allow the Holy Spirit through the scriptures, to reassure your heart if you are truly His. 😊😁👍
One of the most common expressions one hears in Christian circles, especially for reassurance when things aren't going well, is that "God is in control, He's still on the throne." Christians comfort themselves with these words-but what do they mean? Was God not "in control" when Satan rebelled and when Adam and Eve disobeyed, but now He is? Does God's being in control mean that all the rape, murder, war and multiplied evil is exactly what He planned and desires?
Christ asks us to pray, "Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven" (Matthew 6:10). Why that prayer if we are already in God's kingdom with Satan bound, as John Calvin taught and Reconstructionists claim today? Could a world of rampant evil really be what God wills? Surely not!
"Wait a minute!" someone counters. "Are you suggesting that our omnipotent God is unable to effect His will upon earth? What heresy is this! Paul clearly says that God 'worketh all things after the counsel of his own will' (Ephesians 1:11)."
Yes. But the Bible itself contains many examples of men defying God's will and disobeying Him. God laments, "I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me" (Isaiah 1:2). The sacrifices they offer Him and their evil lives are obviously not according to His will. We are told that "the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected for themselves the counsel of God" (Luke 7:30). Christ's statement in Matthew 7:21 shows clearly that everyone doesn't always do God's will. That is implied also in Isaiah 65:12; 1 Thessalonians 5:17-19; Hebrews 10:36; 1 Peter 2:15; 1 John 2:17 and many other scriptures. In fact, Ephesians 1:11 doesn't say that everything that happens is according to God's will, but according to "the counsel " of His will. Clearly the counsel of God's will has given man freedom to disobey Him. There is no other explanation for sin.
Yeah you never hear from pastor's the Sovereign God.
Love John and love his teaching, but this promotion for yet another unneeded Bible translation turned me off on this one. John used the KJV in his early days and I wished he would have stayed there.
And what's wrong with a new translation as long as it stays as close as possible to the original? Are you saying that KJV is perfect?
I'm saying the KJV is God's preserved Word, yes. It was what we had for more than 400 years from God before people decided to start copywriting God's Word supposedly by changing words so they could sell and make money. Not to mention that the manuscripts these new translations use are corrupt.@@danielalexander9320
.... What is the truth?
Jesus is the way! .... to what?
Alot of people forget when reading the bible, to use Jesus as the standard, when everything needs to line up with what He said!
When you do all sorts of truth will be shared with us!
In the end it's the truth that sets you free!
We learn in James 2:19 that even the demons believe!
Does that mean that the demons are saved?
How do we know if we believe then?
In order to find out if we believe in Jesus we must believe His word is truth.
HIS word is first, not the apostles, not Paul and not your pastor or priest ... HIS!
We need to read the words of our Messiah and use THEM as the standard.
In that remember Jesus also said: Do """"ALL""""" that Moses said. Matthew 23:1-3
In John 5:47 Jesus says "But if you dont believe in Moses writings, how will you believe in His!
In Luke 16:31 "" If they dont listen to Moses & the prophets, they won't listen if someone rises from the dead""
Gee I wonder do you who rose from the dead that He was talking about?
It comes down to this; if you dont accept Moses writings, or the prophets, you won't accept what Jesus says.
Jesus ""never contradicted the Father therefore He never contradicted what Moses wrote.
Jesus didn't start a new religion. If He did, the pharisees would've crucified Him for that!
Remember they found no fault in Him!!!
That means when they studied the writings of Moses there wasn't any contradiction with what He said and what the Father had Moses write down.
He didn't teach a new religion He came to show us "The Way" to walk out the old one.
Don't let Jesus say to you "" Depart from me you who practice lawlessness""
Instead believe His words """ If you love me keep my commandments""""
His commands are exactly the fathers commands.
These very commands that Moses wrote!
So maybe God has willed me to be saved, maybe not.
I know God is willing to save you cause you are watching this channel.
No, Reformed theology teaches God has already decided that. And I guess your logic would say those didn’t happen to watch this video or something like it are those God decided not to save. Rather capricious!
@@williamhenricks4569 No, if you keep on rebelling against Him, it means He does not will for you to be saved. God has no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but He will leave them in their sins and ultimately punish them.
The only question really is, do you wish to be saved? Then believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved. Whoever comes to Him He will never cast out.
Are you expecting another way to know whether or not a person is elect? God has willed you to be saved if you indeed go to Christ. That's all the Bible teaches.
That doesn't provide any assurance. All you said is if he believes then God willed him to believe and if not well . . . tough. Lol.
It also isn't enough to "wish" to be saved. According to Reformed Theology you could just be given evanscent grace. Whereby God gives you a fleeting taste (or more accurately and polemically, a delusion) of what being saved is like . . . yet you are not and he has instead chosen before you were born to damn you.
REMEMBER the only way to repent and be saved by Christ acts 11:14-18, Luke 11:9-13 , Zeph 3:9/ Acts 2:4 and Heb 12:23 Just follow only the original gospel tradition teaching not different churches but Jesus will guide and teach you to the end. John 10:1-6, 11-16, Acts 4:12 and 1 John 2:24-25!
I really appreciate Dr. MacArthur, but either I am missing something or he is concerning the purpose of translation. If you want exactly what the writer was saying then stick with the original language. The goal of translation is to put what God said into language the reader will understand. As language changes and education gets worse, the translated wording has changed to produce the same understanding in the reader.
From what I have seen I like the LSB. I'll have to wait for more to be printed to get the one I want.
Yeah, I reckon you are missing something! 😄😄
John MacArthur is talking about translating the original languages by carefully considering and teasing out the *words* and their *meaning* in the original languages, based on a knowledge and understanding of the life and times in which it was written, and what the writers *intended to convey.*
Modern translations tend to focus primarily on what the modern reader *knows and understands* about life and times today, and *alter the language* to facilitate the readers' comprehension, *rather* than allowing the *preachers* to *explain and expound* the scriptures and their background and history to their congregations so they will grasp the writers' original intent.
New translations do take into account the way language changes, but they sometimes focus more on the current reader than the intent of the original author. That's the point John MacArthur is making.
Search the word ‘sovereignty’ in the Bible and you’ll be hard pressed to find it. God rules without necessarily imposing a divine meticulous determinism. I commend Dr. MacArthur, but I respectfully disagree with the hermeneutics of his calvinist doctrine. God bless you all.
Daniel 4:34-37; Isaiah 46:8-11; both of these passages set forth God's sovereignty. By the way, just because you cannot find either the word sovereignty or Trinity in the Bible does not make either doctrine untrue.
You are right in some sense. Not everything is determined by God. Salvation is though.
@@Romans8-9 well salvation has always been determined by God and through what means, that’s His eternal plan, but He hasn’t predetermined or predetermined ahead who individually be saved. He knows who because of His omniscience, but has not picked deterministically who will or not by name (Romans 2:11).
@@osvaldoroman9957 "He hasn’t predetermined or predetermined ahead who individually be saved"
Ephesians 1:4-5 says otherwise. The text says HE CHOSE US, not on anything based on what we did. If it was based on what we did, it would make his judgment partial. The argument that he is "impartial" when it comes to salvation is self-defeating since correctly choosing God and salvation would imply partiality.
Moreover, there is a pattern of God choosing throughout scripture. First he chose Israel, a nation that would have other nations bow down before them. If we are going by your interpretation of "impartial", why did Israel get special treatment and apparent favoritism?
Then he chose the Apostles. None more apparent than the election of Paul who was murdering Christians and yet God had to appear to him in order to save him. Where was Paul´s wisdom in choosing his salvation correctly while he was murdering Christians?
Those who oppose unconditional election never have an adequate response for Paul but that "he was an exception", same with the Apostles. Interestingly, the Apostles are exceptions when it comes to election but not when it comes to spiritual gifts apparently.
Another issue with your "prooftext" is that Romans 2:11 is referring to partiality in judgment when read in context with subsequent verses. When it comes to judgment, God will judge fairly but judgment is for those who are not in Christ. The idea that God is completely "impartial" across the board is categorically untrue. We see examples of what one would perceive as "favoritism". With Israel, with Jacob, with David. We see God decreeing he will bless certain individuals through no actions of their own while others are (deservedly) cursed for generations.
@@Romans8-9 EXACTLY‼️ He doesn’t preselect who will be elect individually, but on your long response, you go on to conflate election to salvation and election to service, two different things. Unlike you, I don’t have the time or desire to school you on this already classic and super refuted calvinist error. Simply put thought, the election of Israel to bring the scriptures and to fulfill God’s plan of blessing to all the nations and electing certain individuals to fulfill that plan, can’t be misapplied to imply individual election of persons.
You can blurt of the usual calvinist proof texts out of context, but you would still be misinterpreting the Scriptures. So have at it friend.
What is MacArthur saying about J.I. Packer? Hmm! He did not explain. Let's be aware of what we say!!!
Probably something to do with Billy Graham and Lloyd-Jones. Guess will have to wait for Murray's biography.
Seems to relate to the quite infamous disagrement between Packer and Lloyd-Jones
@@HearGodsWord I first thought that (still may be present in the Murray's biography), but then I saw another video where MacArthur hints at Murray's forthcoming biography of Packer containing a chapter on Packer's involvement in Evangelicals and Catholics Together (ECT) in the 1990s. That's what MacArthur, Kennedy, and Sproul confronted Packer, Colson and others on their misguided support for ECT.

It's very amusing listening to John and other Calvanists work so hard to explain Sovereignty in a way that it denies Free Will. Why is it so difficult for him to understand that our Sovereign God created mankind and gave him a free Will. What is Free Will? God allows man to choose whether He wants to receive the free gift of salvation, or whether he wants to reject Christ and serve sin.
Calvanist don't seem to believe a Sovereign God has the right to create man and then give him freedom to choose.
Therefore, Calvanists have to assume that God created most people to go to hell, and He created a few people to go to heaven. McAuthur wrestles with the notion of God's Sovereignty and man's responsibility. His wrestling match is an effort to protect his misunderstanding of the truth of Free Will.
It's true, God is soveigrn , even with speling errors and any given amount of false doctrine disseminates by preachers including John mcarthur

The fallen human will is not in the Bible.
The sovereignty of God, and the pretext of no free will support the sophism of John Calvin.
No one ever contested the sovereignty of God, saved us according to his own good pleasure. But we must choose life or death, blessing or cursing, and it is God himself who tells us to choose life. If we can choose, that requires free will.
Think about it, we make choices every day, some are trivial and some are not.
Don't make too much of theological jargon, the message of the gospel is simple.
Reform theology is trash that has come down to us from ignorant men, who are ever learning and never coming to a knowledge of the truth.
God has created us to do good works, moreover he has prepared the works beforehand and we shall be judged according to our works, good or bad. Let your light shine that men may see your good works, and glorify your father in heaven. Show me your faith without your works, show me the mercy and the love of God without good works. Without these things your religion is vain, Calvinism is vain.
Yeah ok........ Go back to School. Cling TIGHTLY to your free will........ You have Misrepresented everything negative in your condemnations...... No one is making you to go against your free will........keep it if you like....... if you can hold unto a vapor? PS
If he prepared the good works beforehand that we should walk in them, how exactly did you choose your salvation? Or did God only prepare your works on the basis of the foreknowledge of how you chose him?
You obviously disagree with the sovereignty of God as taught by the reformation. But I think you need to be careful not to slander someone based on your imperfect grasp of scripture. No one has all the truth. Not even you!!!
Show some grace to people with whom you don't see eye to eye. 😊

Btw, the Bible teaches that there is neither Jew nor Gentile, slave nor free, male nor female, but we are all one in Christ Jesus - Galatians 3:28.

I have some respect for MacArthur, but he won't teach on spiritual gifts that are clearly in the NT, I would never go to his church for that. Why would I? That's like saying "you can only have so much according to me, John MacArthur
@Ryan Buikema The big difference is that it's available to all believers today, That is why I would never go to his church but God Bless him
@Ryan Buikema 1st: Do you go to Grace Community? McArthur's church? I can easily refute the rest of your post
@Ryan Buikema Acts 1 what? what vs? vs's? Acts ch 2 1-16 Refutes your "criteria" claim in chapter 1 considering that the gifts were among others in the room who were not apostles. Your chronology claim is meaningless considering that past references are used in present situations that validate the prior texts. Don't say "2" Timothy, cite the ch & vs to back your claim that you claim is accurate or inaccurate, not your opinion. We do speak in tongues today I know dozens of people who have that gift including myself, so you don't know what the hell you're talking about.
@Ryan BuikemaOh I do. Its clear that you have no concept of the baptism of the holy spirit and the day of Pentecost in Acts Ch 2 vs vs 1-8 The book of acts was to empower the church moving forward with the Baptism of the spirit. You have to copy and paste so many things? Where are you copying from? Where? What church are you a part of? The NT is about Jesus and grace moving forward, not Jewish Laws how were the Greeks to live by Jewish laws? Sorry again, you don't know what you're talking about but you learned it from what church or book?
@Ryan Buikema Where did you copy and paste those paragraphs from? Academics usually don't comprehend the spiritual component of the NT & Jesus
You can read God's Sovereignty into many things said in the Bible, but the Bible never describes God thus.
One would have to ask why you are so obsessed with it when the Scriptures are not?
God is described as Holy which I understand to be His set apartness, otherness.
Ever heard of the Holy of Holies where Gods presence dwelt.
Ever heard about how the curtain therein was split open when Jesus died on the cross.
Stop adding to scripture what it does not say.
If He is all controlling as you describe Him, what happened in the Bible is meaningless.
The Bible is about Him entering into our world to reveal Himself to us.
Never does He call Himself Sovereign.
Jesus came as a servant and is the exact representation of God.
And God is Love.
In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. 1 John 4:8-9
Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant
or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful, it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends, 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
The Bible is the Word of God in its unique written form.
But the Bible is not Jesus Christ, who is the living Word.
The Bible was not born of a virgin, crucified, resurrected and elevated to the right hand of the Father.
Neither is the Bible the word of God that is settled eternally in the heavens, as the psalmist says (Ps 119:89), expressing itself in the order of nature (Ps 19:1-4).
The Bible is not the word of God that, in the book of Acts, expanded and grew and multiplied (Acts 12:24).
It is not the word that Jesus spoke of as being sown by the active speaking of the ministry (Mt 13).
Inerrancy by itself is not a sufficient theory of biblical inspiration because, as everyone knows, the Bible in our hand is not the original text.
Inerrancy of the originals also does not guarantee sane and sound, much less error-free, interpretations.
We need the living God who is present in and through His word, and is present when His word is spoken.
The Bible tells of the sovereignty of God through and through!!
"Sovereign" means "supreme ruler."
You can't honestly say that God as *supreme ruler* is *not* taught in scripture!!??!! 🤪🤪
You need to read it again!
Time and again God tells His people that there is no God besides Him, that He is God and there is no other.
Psalm 115:3, and Job 42:2 also convey the idea that God is sovereign ruler. He is omnipotent. That means all power belongs to Him.
How could He *not* be supreme ruler!!?
@@judylloyd7901
Depends what you mean by Supreme Ruler
Kim Jong-un is a Supreme Ruler.
Jesus came as a suffering servant.
Hardly a controling ruler.
In Psalm 115 he is contrasted as being of steadfast love and your faithfulness against idols.
It is a song about trusting God. Not His Sovereignty.
Job 42 is about knowing God. Seeing with the eye or heart, not just hearing about.
You may use Sovereign to describe Him,
but He reveals Himself in too many other ways which have relevence to a relationship with Him.
Sovereign is not one of them.
@@John-Christchurch-NZ Sovereign = supreme ruler.
Jesus is not only a King, the Bible describes Him as *King of Kings and Lord of Lords.* You can't *get* any more supreme than that -- which is exactly the point the scriptures are making.
I'm not discussing earthly rulers and comparing them to Christ, or Christ to them! I'm just pointing out that scripture represents God as supreme ruler and therefore sovereign over all. Which should be indisputable, since He is the Creator and God over all creatures and everything He has made! 😁😁👍
I have never witnessed the discussion of systematic racism spoke in such an eloquent and very ignorant way.I strongly suggest you fall on your knees and really listen to Yahweh. The fact that you are so right in some areas and so flagrantly wrong in other areas all in one conversation is astounding, and scary. The bottom line is that Yahweh weighs the heart of man and if racism just like any other sin is in there when you die. Then Hell is where you will lift your eyes. I pray for clarity for you sir. May Yahweh Bless you.

Can you be specific as to where he is wrong, rather than a general accusation? I recommend Voddie Bachmann, he's researched it for, I think it was, more than a decade.
I just spent some time last week at a conference and some black brothers did a good job of unpacking the marxism of CRT and BLM movement.
His testimony contradicts his New Birth analogy in Jn vs 3. Beginning at 14:00 he's 9 yrs old realizes he's convicted of his sin and knew he needed Christ to change him. @14:45 he's college age has severe car accident decides to obey God so that his life doesn't get worse through God's doings. @ 15:00 says he doesn't know the exact moment of salvation but remembers going to his father and telling him he needs to be Saved. If we're already pre saved and have no part in the matter how can a dead man have all the conviction and coming to terms with the need for a new birth that he's not even aware of. Seems to be a religion of philosophy and rearranging the chairs on the titanic. Seems Calvinism is full of holes and not enough fingers to stop the leaks.
I challenge you to watch again. You will find that he isn't contradicting at all. We can have a conviction of sin and be challenged to be saved. We can even know we need to be saved. However, until the Holy Spirit quickens us we are dead and unable to respond. Read Romans 3. No one seeks after God. Scripture supports Calvinism if you are using the same definition I am. However, I don't know your definition, so I can't know if you use the same definition.
Man, you don't understand ordu salutis
Nothing is more out of order than calvinism with the cart before the horses.
He didnt have a moment because he wasnt that rebellious as he himself admitted. The new birth is much more drastic for someone who has lived a life of sin unlike JMac. I dare say for people brought up in a healthy Christian upbringing, the new birth would be difficult to pinpoint.
I listen to Jim Brown Grace and Truth ministries on utube, he teaches predestination, not Calvinism, but, he teaches great Bible, he and John use to be friends.
