Thank you for covering this topic. It was a great comfort to hear that you didn’t agree with McArthur’s comments, which I’m sure many found very hurtful.

I struggled with that too, to be honest we have to say God did not create human being to go to war, or have their brain rattled around, lose arms or legs? Which has an impact on the brain, for functionality, neurological trauma is facts, too many online pastors with no medical certification just "I think" or don't think sentences thrown in, God knows we suffer, have mental demons, many false prophets use these weaknesses, for profit, I read the first bible dont trust onliners, God put good people in the world too, to help and support the weak body 🙏🕊️

Thanks for shedding light on this subject. Very informative and loved the analogy of the glasses. God bless you brothers.

I believe talking to someone can help, but I think that, unfortunately, a lot of people don't have any options because the only people they have around them are John MacArthur's. I know there are many who must bear their trouble all alone. Eventually, it seems like God doesn't even hear and you can't even pray any more.

As usual the problem is not listening to what he said Listen to the talk he gave around the panel he was on These are excuses people use to make allowances for their bad behavior sin Not investigating more makes your talk, adding to the problem Everyone will rush to condemn

Nothing in the lengthy quote we read was taken out of context. I have much love and respect for MacArthur. It’s ok to disagree with him on this issue. Disagreement does not equal condemnation. If you work in ministry you know that this is a major topic of discussion and Christians need to think well about these issues.
