Thank you John MacArthur, I understand why the world is so messed up. We are under judgment and that’s all the more reason to not live for this world. I am in it, but I am Not of the world. I love this and my Savior Jesus Christ. I live for the Kingdom. You are the best and I am blessed to have come across your preaching. I cannot thank you enough.

Oh, how I appreciate your boldness to proclaim the truth! Thank you so much, dear John MacArthur! 🙏 💜

[@BAM-jc7uy]

Finally a sobering announcement to pastors out there...seeing the urgent times we live in and still hearing most pastors in the pulpits preaching the same ole same ole... when our Lord is at the very door and in a time when we as a country... are in a period of divine judgment, a nation that will never ever go back to the greatness that our Lord once blessed us with. IF pastors really believed the Lord is at the door... here within the second or tomorrow...why isn't there the urgency of the gospel and/or preaching of judgment to those who have been called and others who are headed for Hell.....Next we will probably be seeing the physically harmful destruction and rejection of the faithful pastors in our country. Lord have mercy on us by giving us more of your Word as meat, not milk and strengthen us O Lord to follow you and speak up no matter what the consequences may be to us until your returrn for us or we die as your beloved martyrs. We pray for our brothers and sister in China, Middle East, Ukraine, etc who are standing and speaking in your strength and wisdom...give us that same strength O Lord. Even so, come Lord Jesus.

[@QwikAdDotCom]

Pastor John (and G3 Ministries) how do I reconcile all of this with John 3:16: "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." Or Romans 10:9: "If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." And many other passages that tell us how easy it is to be saved. Why should we not tell people that God loves them when John says: God is love. 1 John 4:8: "But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love." Sinners are loved by God and He wants them to be saved. 24/7/365. Maybe I am just not quite understanding something. Any clarification would be great. Thanks!

[@p.b.9428]

I’m not a pastor nor a teacher of the Word. I’m just like you. With that said, there are many sermons from Pastor John and the like that address this specific question. Let me just say this to which I will paraphrase R.C. Sproul: There are preachers who teach that God is love and that he loves the sinner, but hates the sin. Let me tell you, God’s not going to send the sin to hell, He’s going to send the sinner to hell.

[@christyvonderchek5740]

I understand your dilemma. But true love speaks truth and warns of judgment.

[@tonygohagan2766]

You're right! It's whether or not One Believes In Christ that makes them a Sinner or not, that is the Evil that'll be judged. God doesn't just give up His Love in response to being rejected by the objects of His Love: God is Love. There's nothing new under the sun, not even preachers who don't know how to respond in LOVE, but get overwhelmed by the seemingly new depths of depravity, instead! The God of this world is Judged, primarily, and what people believe is Judged, too... I think preachers who get into ascribing, to their Nation, some exceptional state of deterioration, or that the current Culture is uniquely corrupt and in need of "judgement" forget God's response is JESUS CRUCIFIED and that the whole of Creation is in thrall to Sin and Death, and has been since Eden, thus God is reconciling the World to Himself and became one of us to do so. Ultimately that's God's response, His Judgement: Christ Crucified because He Is Love. Yo, It's a fearful thing to know God is capable of throwing one into Hell - I don't know exactly who/what's going to be judged or how, except, essentially, it's Satan. It's tough, this life, and tempting to lash out, when beset by the unexpected but again I say you're right; God Is Love. Of Course: it's very very difficult to walk in love, in a way, and "because of the increase in wickedness the LOVE of many will grow cold" He "destroys" the Old COVENANT by His Love, He'll destroy That Old serpent and those who stand with him. God Is Love that's what'll get people to respond, not bitter old men scaring folk with judgement: He's the Lamb that was slain from the foundation of the World, again as you said "for God so LOVED World..." Perhaps some who're in Christ are more called to expound/live His Love, perhaps I'm wrong but somehow I think this message is fearful, fleshy, foolhardy..!

Is publicly shaming and excommunicating an abused woman part of the "Temptation, Trial & Triumphs of Pastoral Ministry"?

[@augsburgbiblechannel9246]

"We have to be judgment preachers.". I agree with the general message but not that exact way of putting it since we are preachers of a new covenant. Judgment serves the preaching of that new covenant.

So pray John, and the seminaries, will understand the full meaning of that fig tree Jesus cursed, and how it fits into Daniel's prophecy of Chapter 9:26-27, where they instead insert a false "gap" of over 2,000 years for the 70 weeks to be completed. The 70 weeks of Daniel are all about Dan. 9:24 being fulfilled by the Messiah, not about Satan making covenants with Israel; he never has/he never will. *Dan **9:26** and 27 are each divided into two contrasting parts:* a) first about MESSIAH and what happened to Him, and secondly, b) about ISRAEL (Jerusalem) and what happened to her, as a result of their rejection of Messiah. *Daniel 9:26:* *MESSIAH:* The Prince (captial P) enters Jerusalem for His ministry at the end of 69 weeks (Dan 9:25 -- 7 weeks plus sixty and two weeks = 69 weeks). So, the ministry of Jesus began the 70th week of Daniel, and in the middle of this week, Messiah is cut off (crucified), but not for Himself (His sins), but for the sins of all mankind. *ISRAEL:* Therefore, for the people asking that His blood be upon them and their children, after a delay (cursed fig tree prophecy), a prince (small p) comes, Titus Vespantianus, with his people, the Roman soldiers, and destroys the Temple and the City in 70 AD. In His Wrath, they will experience a flood of war, famine and scattering. *Daniel 9:27:* *MESSIAH:* Continuing on with the work of Messiah during the 70th week, this verse tells us Jesus confirmed the "New Covenant" with the many (the Gentiles and all the nations will receive the Gospel; no longer exclusive to Israel). His death, mid-week, caused the sacrifice and oblations to cease - no more Temple sacrifices or priests to renew sacrifices for daily sins, as the veil of the Temple was torn in two, and Jesus' prophecy was issued that the Temple itself was to be destroyed. *ISRAEL:* Therefore, they had their exclusive covenant replaced by this new "better covenant, with better promises" (Heb 8:6). He sent the overspreading wings (the Eagle being the symbol of the Roman army) and their destruction caused them to never again be able to carry out temple sacrifices and Levitical ceremonies right through to the "consummation" (Jesus' Return), when all will look upon the Messiah, including "they, which pierced him" and wail (Rev. 1:7). The prince who came and destroyed the temple and the city in verse 26 is the same prince whose destruction is more fully described in verse 27. Nowhere did this Roman prince of verse 26 try to make a covenant with Israel, the covenant maker is Jesus Christ. (Dan 9:26 [KJV]) And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof [shall be] with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. (Dan 9:27 [KJV]) And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make [it] desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. (John 10:7 [KJV]) Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. Rev. 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they [also] which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen

John please address millionaire pastors. Pastors that are paid hundreds of thousands of dollars per year. So called reformed Pastors who go to conferences and share stages with false teachers to promote their books. How do you reconcile your lifestyle with the truth of Jesus? Would he approve of wealthy pastors? Is it biblical? And yet here we are.

Guys, I am actually asking questions here, is someone able to answer them? Is it biblical for a pastor to be a millionaire from his ministry? I’m not calling MacArthur a false teacher, I am asking a question but you’re all too defensive to speak up. I am not a pastor or a teacher, teachers are judged by different standards. Being a millionaire is one thing but to be rich from your church? Does Jesus approve of that?

[@truth7416]

Love De-Emphasized By Reformed Calvinist teachers such as John MacAthur In Islam, Allah is virtually devoid of love. Caner and Caner list 99 names of Allah, and only one includes a reference to love (and this only to those who are “his own”). They write: When Allah is discussed within the Islamic community, the absence of intimacy, atonement, and omnibenevolence becomes apparent. In all the terms and titles of Allah, one does not encounter terms of intimacy. . . Even the most faithful and devout Muslim refers to Allah only as servant to master; Allah is a distant sovereign (Unveiling Islam, p. 117). But what do we find in Calvinism? God’s sovereignty-His power and holiness-are emphasized at the expense of His love. Dave Hunt observes: But where is God’s love? Not once in the nearly thirteen hundred pages of his Institutes does Calvin extol God’s love for mankind. This one sided emphasis reveals Calvinism’s primary defect: the unbiblical limitations it places upon God’s most glorious attribute. . . Something is radically amiss at the very foundation of this unbiblical doctrine (Debating Calvinism, p. 47) Truth In Love My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command. 15 I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. John 15 12- 15

[@vanessajackson3947]

The Bible states the man who sins shall surely die, all sin is sin. There is no big sins or little sins. Homosexuality, adultery, fornication, lying, cheating, hatred, rebellion, among others just to name a few sins. Sin has weakened this world not the women and sin has weakened the effectiveness of the word of God because people love this world and the sins of this world. The pride of life the love of money has overtaken the heart of man. The love of many is cold the hearts are desperately wicked, and the love of God does not dwell there. Man is not God only a vessel that God uses as he please

The most terrifying truth about scripture, is how people twist it to form into the mould "THEY" want it to fit. Example: If you want God to have the exact character traits of Satan you repackage the scripture to fit the teachings of John Calvin and his deformed theology! Often called 5-Point Tulip Reformed Theology. If you want the truth you let scripture say what it means and mean what it says. God tells us that even a Child can understand the true gospel! It takes people like Paul Washer, John MacArthur and John MacArthur to go into many cleaver sounding arguments and words to trap their victims to follow Satans gospel of Heresey. Reader Truth in Love is this: And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. Acts and ever human ever to live has been given this gift of choice. To accept or reject! Truth IN LOVE

I don't like the idea that God allows Heresy's like Calvinism and Deformed theology to go on Blaspheming His Name, slandering the work of the Cross and withholding the Good news Gospel of salvation to all mankind! But God knows what the purpose is of allowing Calvinism and all sin to go on. Their has to be a test, there has to be separating of those who truly love God or truly reject Him. Calvinism is just one of the powerful delusions God gives people over to, that continually reject the moving of the Holy Spirit on them and Blaspheme His Holy Name! These verses ARE talking about Reformed Theology and Calvinism. 2 Thessalonians 2 10-12 and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness. You need to wake up and give your head a shake! You have one life time to decide on God or John Calvin's god! (Which is Satan) I tell you these things in love and concern for your soul, I truly do. TRUTH IN LOVE

[@1218wbentrup]

Are you saying our names are not written in the book of life since the beginning of the world? Pretty sure that's the way it works.

[@truth7416]

@@1218wbentrup Perhaps this will help you a bit. Predestination example 1: Its kind of like this. A man’s wife is finally pregnant and the couple are over joyed. I hope it is a boy the man said and I hope he will be interested in becoming an electrician like me. I also hope he goes into the trade and if he does, I plan for him to take over the family business some day! But I know that these plans that I have made for him, before one of his days of life begin will be entirely up to my son. I cannot force him, I cannot put a gun to his head, I can only encourage and guide him and hope. In other word’s the man has predestined a plan for his son, He has chosen a plan for his son. He has elected to give all this to his son if he so desires it! Outcome 1 The baby is born and it is a boy. He is interested in his fathers work and goes to electrical trade school, but drops out and becomes a lawyer instead. Outcome 2 He drops out of school becomes a bum, a drunk or a murderer etc. Outcome 3 The son follows his fathers predestinated plan, through trade school and takes over his father’s business. The fathers predestined plans for his son will happen, or will not happen, according to the choices the son makes. Its the same with mankind. There is a master plan given to every human being to know God, reach salvation and eternity in Heaven. But to follow or reject the plan is the choice given to every individual. This is the "Good News Gospel" that the Angels proclaimed when the Messiah was born. Satan has attacked that message from the beginning, twisting it into what is now known as Calvinism or the doctrine of election. Predestination example 2: Grandma saves and saves to buy her granddaughter a plane ticket to France. She has been saving for many years and the day finally arrived and she gave her granddaughter her special gift. The granddaughter goes to the airport and asks the attendant which plane to get on. The attendant says, what is your destination on your ticket? He reads the ticket which says “Destination France.” He also said that flight 446 is a modern jet that was especially built and destined by the airline to fly exclusively to France for its entire service life. So, this aircraft has been predestined to fly to a predestined location, France. The girl gets on the plane and is now destined to travel to France on the predestined plane, that has been predestined by its designers, to reach its predestined, destination! This girl will arrive at her predestined trip that her grandmother predestined years before, as long as she goes to the airport, gets on the right plane and stays on the plane! All this took place by the choices the granddaughter made. Predestination example 3: "The man on an island." Imagine a man has been taken to a desolate island with everything he needs to survive and given only a Bible to occupy his time. This man has no preconceived idea about religion so everything he will learn over the next 10 years he will get directly from the Bible and Gods leading. The man accepts God’s plan of salvation and what he has learned from the Bible. He repents and is born again. The Holy Spirit is now counselling the man from the inside. He studies intensely for the 10 years growing in his faith and walking closer and closer with God daily. After 10 years he comes back to the mainland world and decides he needs to fellowship with other Christians as the Bible says he should. The man approaches a number of different churches and looks through the windows from the outside and says to himself “What are they doing in there what are they saying about God? How do you think this man will compare what he knows to be true, from what he sees going on in the mainline churches today? Do you think he will find what the mainline denominations are teaching will be in harmony to what this true follower of Jesus Christ has learned? You know it won’t be! It then occurred to me that I am that man. I became a Christian in the winter of 1980 and didn’t go to any church for 10 years. I studied on my own directly from the Bible. I did go to some Bible studies, but basically learned directly by Gods leading. TRUTH IN LOVE
