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 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.
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 UA-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 !!
Thank you. I watched this KNOWING the title would not bear out as truth. I found Pastor MacArthur quite by accident on UA-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.
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 UA-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! :-)
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 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.
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 !!!
@@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.
@@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.
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.
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..

@@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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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’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 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!
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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 UA-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 UA-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 UA-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 UA-cam. The Forbidden book video UA-cam. This old video has some American history. Church History: Lamp in the Dark video UA-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. 😐
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 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!!!💞
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.
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.
I’ve always admired Phil Johnson. After this interview with Peters, I admired his openness to discuss and correct as much to the alleged controversies at GTY. This interview is top notch and instructive. I’ve learned as a pastor how best to approach certain topics.
@@stefankivungi8286 Unfortunately, you have missed the whole point of this and have become a critic yourself. Did you not see the last verse? Jesus is the HEAD of His Church, we are His servants, and must be salt and light in a sin sick world. 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.
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!❤
No one truly realises the character of these men until you meet them, I had fellowship with a few staff from GTY last year after the Shepherds Conference, we ate in the garden of an average 3 bed home and ate BBQ food, we chatted normally and it was great, some of those we were with were elders of Grace Church and one relation of the men in question. We had such a normal (non extravagant time) just normal guys who love Christ. I was humbled. Plus they all glowed about Pastor John too and talked a little about his private life which was very modest. I'm a Bible college student from the UK that was sponsored to visit GTY and Shepherds Conference last year. ***Disclaimer This ministry and these men don't need me to defend them, I'll just give honest testimony of my fellowship with them. Thank you JP and Phil for this. (as a brit I brought Donuts for dessert and they told me that in the US its more a breakfast dish 😂🤦) ill remember for next time.
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. Helpful tool: Noah Webster Dictionary 1828 on line. Churchkjb.com Localchurchbiblepublishers.com.
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.
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 !!

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.
I am from a far away part of the world AND from a totally different Church denomination but one that works hard to remain faithful to sound Biblical doctrine in the Power of the Holy Spirit and with the Grace of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, I have been following pastor John McArthur’s videos on UA-cam for more than year now to receive the blessing of learning under this righteous man’s sermons. May God bless him and bless you all
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.
I’ve been studying the Word with Pastor’s commentary’s of the NT since the beginning of this year; awesome work and right on with the Word; my faith has and is growing daily. I love the Body of Christ and pray that all believers get in the Word on a daily basis; we all need to be literate with the Word and be about God’s will; we are so blessed having men like John MacArthur; my Pastor Rich is all about getting into the Word 🥰
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.🙏😀
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.
Thank you for answering why some folks are putting down Pastor John...I just wondered why he would be attacked.. I listen to him regularly on the internet & I have grown so much...God bless this ministry...sound doctrine in depth...it’s hard to find now a days ...thank you Jesus for this ministry & the obedient servants of this church
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.
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......
@@jannepetersen4660 😂 you mad because he doesn't believe animals have souls? I don't agree with Voddie Bauchams CRT views but I would never say he doesn't preach from the word nor will I stop listening to his sermons.
@@jannepetersen4660 I love animals too. I'm sure everything the Lord created in the beginning will be part of the new heaven and earth. The tree of knowledge is there but we'll actually be able to eat the fruits q
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.
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?

I was, and still am delighted that, "Johnny Mac", is financially comfortable. His critics blame him for exaggerating the hours he works! I've never had the pleasure but can see a man who lives to do God's will, he works 24/7 and does so with grace and kindness.
Amen, me too! It’s sad this even has to be a conversation today.. but also so good and encouraging to see the way they have handled this, in wisdom & truthfulness with great clarity. Remembering to keep them & the church at large in my prayers.

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.

@@Journey4SureKnowledge-N-Wisdom So you can't answer a question or engage in thoughtful dialogue but would rather belittle further discussion? He has three homes, it's not "propaganda" it's fact. Again, how many pastors or people do you personally know that have three homes?
@@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.

Amen!. I've listened to John since I was in high school in the 1980s!. And all my teachers and leaders all believed in and endorsed John's ministry!. God bless you and John!.
Hello Phil. I just came across this discussion. It was good to listen I have never met Mr Peter’s so it was a pleasure to hear his part of the talk Edna Pearson
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 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.
Thank you so much for this wonderful discussion on John MacArthur. I studied the first year of my rebirth into salvation in Jesus Christ studying the gospel with his ESV study Bible, and his study series books. I did not know him, and this discussion was truly fulfilling. I admire him and learned so much. I owe him a great debt of gratitude for jumpstarting my love of the gospel, which has grown monumentally to an almost embarassing number of Bibles and a hunger that grows daily in the love of the Lord. God bless you, Pastor MacArthur. ❤ Thank you is not enough.
I have listened to John McCarthuer and enjoy his sermons he is scripturally sound preaching and he loves to laugh in his sermons as well !!! I respect him standing up and saying I am not shutting down my church !!! That is the sign of true great FAITH !!! He is just a preacher and teacher God bless him another 20 years of preaching !!!
@@barbarahartley3460 you must have your preachers mixed up if you are saying this especially about John Macarthur. I would encourage you to actually listen to his sermon and try again or look at the names you've mixed up. I don't agree on 100 percent of his preaching but he's a lotm ore sound then what you're making him out to be. Smh
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 ‼
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

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.
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!
beppiek Wow are you being serious? THE JOHN MACARTHUR STUDY BIBLE ... Or how about this right out of his own mouth “I BELIEVE you can take the mark and still repent and be saved” ua-cam.com/video/iQKxbUamUno/v-deo.html ALL THE ABOVE IS HIM INJECTING HIMSELF
@@beppiek, if you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, regardless of what you have done in your life, you are saved. If you don’t believe that, it is you that has the problem.

I am very thankful for Pastor John MacArthur, for the last 10 years of been a Christian which has increased my knowledge of the Bible and the truth, so thankyou Pastor John MacArthur for your ministry.

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!
Thank you brothers, Justin and Phil, for loving the LORD Jesus Christ and for standing up for Pastor John who to this day is faithful in upholding the word of our LORD
Thank you for this video, it was very enlightening, I have been following McArthur for a cpl of months and I enjoy his sermons. He never seemed like a prosperity preacher to me. Blessings.
He signs books? He has his own study Bible with his name on it. He has a university. Satan offers many Kingdoms of the world. Please get saved. Mark 2:17, Romans 10:9-13, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV ❤️
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.

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.
John MacArthur, Phil Johnson, Steven Lawson, Justin Peter's, RC Sproul etc etc... these truthful, expository preachers/teachers walk the walk. I was Baptized at Crestwood Community Church in Santa Maria then stepped to these great mens Ministry in my growth with Christ. Thank you Justin and Phil
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......
Thank you for making this video Phil and Justin. I have been listening to JMac for over 35 years and had a chance to talk to him in Vancouver at the Willingdon church many years ago! I saw Joshua’s video and was very disappointed and of course I called them shameful and they’re response was more than humorous! I was tempted I say much more😂 thanks again gentlemen! Great job explaining this !

Thank you. The Word according to God should inspire every Christians desire for truth. No pastor is perfect , but if preaching in righteousness the Word of God, rich or poor, he is chosen for that purpose. Some people give all their time to pulling the faithful down and so little time to learn from them. A lot of blaming and shaming is rooted in personal fear, jealousy and insecurity, sometimes raised in opposing cultural expectations and preferences, as well as different ideas about real grace in Christ and what that means for our personal salvation. Jesus from the time of His ministry to this very day is preparing us all to face up to truth, and flee from false truth that literally ruins our lives. John MacArthur is teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He is sometimes harsh and seemingly less compassionate in the pulpit on occasions, but we have to ask, what really matters at this critical time is the truth, not excuses merely to fit in with the world view. At the same time we are given to develop our spiritual maturity from a deeper understanding of these things. .😅 ❤😅 However, on matters of sexual abuse, this is a very complex and complicated problem in the Church often prone to deep offense. . I personally realize from experience how careful we must be to surrender to Christ's wholehearted love and care to nurture victims out of this crisis into one of trust and safety, which requires considerable sensitivity, patience, longsuffering and prayer. Every culture deals with these things differently, but Jesus is very clear when teaching us that sexual abuse is a spiritual crime in the eyes of God.
There is nothing wrong with what is going on. Should he look up a stranger in a phone book? Many have followed the Lord because of his ministry They are not doing ANYTHING AGAINST GODS WILL. EAT YOUR HEART OUT.
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.
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 the best! He brings people to Christ daily! He's been preaching since the early 60s. He has had plenty of suffering in his life. He walks the walk and talks the talk! Any good fortune that comes his way he deserves! God bless John MacArthur and everything he stands for! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

You really must get out more. There is plenty of very credible testimony, (much of it examined through due process of law, which put a wife and child abuser JM’s church protected in prison for 21-years-life) from people who have suffered in a costly way to follow Christ in their consciences and who don’t like seeing Scriptures twisted or the vulnerable abused, who have given evidence to the contrary about JM. The charges (which have stuck on biblical grounds) are far more serious than keeping a bit too much of his wealth for himself. Time to wake up. Jesus himself warned us about false apostles pretending to be the real thing, who would be like satan, who disguises himself as a angel of light. Our culture is full of these. Sorry to say that although I agree with certain positions JM has taken, at the end of the day his words and actions that have not until recently been so much in the limelight, very much fit the profile of a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
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!

Wow, glory be to God! My wife and I discussed how God blessed this church because of the sound doctrine being preached. Amen.

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 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.

Yes u right
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 will pray that you become a great preacher worthy of reward from our Lord Jesus Christ. God bless you and your family.
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.

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.
Thank you. I watched this KNOWING the title would not bear out as truth. I found Pastor MacArthur quite by accident on UA-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.

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.
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 UA-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! :-)

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.
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 🙏❤️
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

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.
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?????

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 DONT MUZZLE AN OX THAT TREADS CORN. THEY THAT MINISTER THE GOSPEL SHOULD LIVE FROM IT
@@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.
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.

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.
I've been so blessed watching Pastor John MacArthur's sermons. He is truly a man after God's heart. May the Lord continue to bless his ministry.
Ask him does he hold a perfect Bible?
He is a wolf in sheep clothing. Repent! Matthew 7:15 KJV

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 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.

@*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.

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!
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
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.
Very helpful. Thank you Mr. Peters for interviewing Mr. Johnson and for bringing clarity and truth back into the public square.
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 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.
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.
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 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".
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 UA-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 UA-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 UA-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.

@@Tina-7773 UA-cam makes comments disappear too , you know.

Thanks for standing up for the sake of the church! Truly grateful!
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 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!!!💞
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.
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
True!
@@azeldajoubert2528 I agree with you

I’ve always admired Phil Johnson. After this interview with Peters, I admired his openness to discuss and correct as much to the alleged controversies at GTY. This interview is top notch and instructive. I’ve learned as a pastor how best to approach certain topics.
Lets not idolise them please repent and believe in the gospel
@@stefankivungi8286 Unfortunately, you have missed the whole point of this and have become a critic yourself. Did you not see the last verse? Jesus is the HEAD of His Church, we are His servants, and must be salt and light in a sin sick world. 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.

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 UA-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!❤
I've learned more about the Bible from McArthur than anyone!
Sick
No one truly realises the character of these men until you meet them, I had fellowship with a few staff from GTY last year after the Shepherds Conference, we ate in the garden of an average 3 bed home and ate BBQ food, we chatted normally and it was great, some of those we were with were elders of Grace Church and one relation of the men in question. We had such a normal (non extravagant time) just normal guys who love Christ. I was humbled.
Plus they all glowed about Pastor John too and talked a little about his private life which was very modest.
I'm a Bible college student from the UK that was sponsored to visit GTY and Shepherds Conference last year. ***Disclaimer
This ministry and these men don't need me to defend them, I'll just give honest testimony of my fellowship with them.
Thank you JP and Phil for this.

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.

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.

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.

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.
I am from a far away part of the world AND from a totally different Church denomination but one that works hard to remain faithful to sound Biblical doctrine in the Power of the Holy Spirit and with the Grace of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, I have been following pastor John McArthur’s videos on UA-cam for more than year now to receive the blessing of learning under this righteous man’s sermons. May God bless him and bless you all
Being able to download, for FREE, hose sermons changed my life!!! 100% hands down.
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.
I’ve been studying the Word with Pastor’s commentary’s of the NT since the beginning of this year; awesome work and right on with the Word; my faith has and is growing daily. I love the Body of Christ and pray that all believers get in the Word on a daily basis; we all need to be literate with the Word and be about God’s will; we are so blessed having men like John MacArthur; my Pastor Rich is all about getting into the Word 🥰
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.🙏😀
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.
You are right sir
Glad you wrote this; I was about to say the same thing.

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.

@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.

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.
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?

I was, and still am delighted that, "Johnny Mac", is financially comfortable. His critics blame him for exaggerating the hours he works! I've never had the pleasure but can see a man who lives to do God's will, he works 24/7 and does so with grace and kindness.
Amen, me too! It’s sad this even has to be a conversation today.. but also so good and encouraging to see the way they have handled this, in wisdom & truthfulness with great clarity. Remembering to keep them & the church at large in my prayers.

Thank you Justin...I appreciate your ministry very much and enjoy listening to you speak
Shocking judging a good man his preaching has helped bring so many to the Lord
This rebuttal is factual, logical and well reasoned. I’ve been hugely blessed by both John’s and Justin’s ministry.
Amen brother. Same here!
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.

Yawn yawn ... we'll let you find someone actually dumb to get baited into your pathetically lame arguments whereby no matter what proof of anything that's shown to you, you'll just play the denial card and blabber out a bunch of lies and deceptions based off your false christian's propaganda association.
@@Journey4SureKnowledge-N-Wisdom So you can't answer a question or engage in thoughtful dialogue but would rather belittle further discussion? He has three homes, it's not "propaganda" it's fact. Again, how many pastors or people do you personally know that have three homes?
@@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).
Love in ourcreator his love and grace
Un abound Mr Peters you are a humble man God bless his work through you
Amen!. I've listened to John since I was in high school in the 1980s!. And all my teachers and leaders all believed in and endorsed John's ministry!. God bless you and John!.
Hello Phil. I just came across this discussion. It was good to listen
I have never met Mr Peter’s so it was a pleasure to hear his part of the talk

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!!
Thank you so much for this wonderful discussion on John MacArthur. I studied the first year of my rebirth into salvation in Jesus Christ studying the gospel with his ESV study Bible, and his study series books. I did not know him, and this discussion was truly fulfilling. I admire him and learned so much. I owe him a great debt of gratitude for jumpstarting my love of the gospel, which has grown monumentally to an almost embarassing number of Bibles and a hunger that grows daily in the love of the Lord. God bless you, Pastor MacArthur. ❤ Thank you is not enough.
I have listened to John McCarthuer and enjoy his sermons he is scripturally sound preaching and he loves to laugh in his sermons as well !!! I respect him standing up and saying I am not shutting down my church !!! That is the sign of true great FAITH !!! He is just a preacher and teacher God bless him another 20 years of preaching !!!
he is not scripturally sound-he denies the blood

I would encourage you to actually listen to his sermon and try again or look at the names you've mixed up. I don't agree on 100 percent of his preaching but he's a lotm ore sound then what you're making him out to be. Smh
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.
MacArthur signs his autograph?
Has study bibles with his name on it? Has master’s university?
Satan offers earthly kingdoms.
Don’t be deceived!

@ 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 ‼
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
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 !!
The sayings go, "Pleading innocence is the weakest defense" and "Innocence tinctures all things with brightest hues."
Thank you for your ministry and Godly influence.
Justin, God’s blessing on you and yours. Thank you. Ephesians 6:12
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

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!
Have you ever heard Pastor Macarthur "decree and declare "anything? He uses the scripture not his personal opinions.
AMEN ... Jerry Cookson !!!
Yep! I've listened to countless of Macarthur's teachings & he is scripture-ONLY!

I am very thankful for Pastor John MacArthur, for the last 10 years of been a Christian which has increased my knowledge of the Bible and the truth, so thankyou Pastor John MacArthur for your ministry.
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.

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?
Thank you brothers, Justin and Phil, for loving the LORD Jesus Christ and for standing up for Pastor John who to this day is faithful in upholding the word of our LORD
Thank you for this video, it was very enlightening, I have been following McArthur for a cpl of months and I enjoy his sermons. He never seemed like a prosperity preacher to me. Blessings.

I just discovered this video, 3 years late, but SO glad it's on here, thank you! Love John MacArthur and this is such good info. God bless you all!
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

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.
John MacArthur, Phil Johnson, Steven Lawson, Justin Peter's, RC Sproul etc etc... these truthful, expository preachers/teachers walk the walk. I was Baptized at Crestwood Community Church in Santa Maria then stepped to these great mens Ministry in my growth with Christ. Thank you Justin and Phil
Psalm 118:8 KJV
I had never heard of Steven Lawson before the "Strange Fire" conference, and all I can say, I have not heard such an epic sermon in a very long time.
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......
Thank you for making this video Phil and Justin. I have been listening to JMac for over 35 years and had a chance to talk to him in Vancouver at the Willingdon church many years ago! I saw Joshua’s video and was very disappointed and of course I called them shameful and they’re response was more than humorous! I was tempted I say much more😂 thanks again gentlemen! Great job explaining this !

Thank you. The Word according to God should inspire every Christians desire for truth. No pastor is perfect , but if preaching in righteousness the Word of God, rich or poor, he is chosen for that purpose. Some people give all their time to pulling the faithful down and so little time to learn from them. A lot of blaming and shaming is rooted in personal fear, jealousy and insecurity, sometimes raised in opposing cultural expectations and preferences, as well as different ideas about real grace in Christ and what that means for our personal salvation.
Jesus from the time of His ministry to this very day is preparing us all to face up to truth, and flee from false truth that literally ruins our lives.
John MacArthur is teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He is sometimes harsh and seemingly less compassionate in the pulpit on occasions, but we have to ask, what really matters at this critical time is the truth, not excuses merely to fit in with the world view. At the same time we are given to develop our spiritual maturity from a deeper understanding of these things. .😅 ❤😅
However, on matters of sexual abuse, this is a very complex and complicated problem in the Church often prone to deep offense. . I personally realize from experience how careful we must be to surrender to Christ's wholehearted love and care to nurture victims out of this crisis into one of trust and safety, which requires considerable sensitivity, patience, longsuffering and prayer. Every culture deals with these things differently, but Jesus is very clear when teaching us that sexual abuse is a spiritual crime in the eyes of God.
Thank you Justin! You are courageous for exposing these truths. You are an excellent teacher too!
There is nothing wrong with what is going on. Should he look up a stranger in a phone book? Many have followed the Lord because of his ministry

What about Kenneth Copeland bragging about being a Billionaire, and being extremely offended when reporters ask about his fleet of airplanes.
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.
@@paulrobinson9318 Please study the apostles and see how vast the contrast their lives were compared to Copeland.
Focus in the right areas

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.
Well said.
I’m so grateful for this episode. Thank you and God bless you.

You really must get out more. There is plenty of very credible testimony, (much of it examined through due process of law, which put a wife and child abuser JM’s church protected in prison for 21-years-life) from people who have suffered in a costly way to follow Christ in their consciences and who don’t like seeing Scriptures twisted or the vulnerable abused, who have given evidence to the contrary about JM. The charges (which have stuck on biblical grounds) are far more serious than keeping a bit too much of his wealth for himself. Time to wake up. Jesus himself warned us about false apostles pretending to be the real thing, who would be like satan, who disguises himself as a angel of light. Our culture is full of these.
Sorry to say that although I agree with certain positions JM has taken, at the end of the day his words and actions that have not until recently been so much in the limelight, very much fit the profile of a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
