John MacArthur is a humble man. He’s not scamming people to get money. He writes books which I have a lots of them and it’s no ones business what his income is.

Answering to the poorer than him is only answering to God and serving Jesus Christ if you understand Mathew 25 45. If a Pastor is not obedient to the teachings of Jesus Christ, how can they be treated as a man of God?. How can he be regarded as chosen by God?

I do really appreciate you posting a video like this because his name has come up a lot lately as people are looking to expose the wolves among the shepherds in our churches and when I was born again in September I watched so many John MacArthur sermons and he just deeply affected my faith. it means a lot to see yourself and other people like Spencer Smith and others on KZbin to continue to show what kind of a person he is and defend what is being said about him. I echo all the sentiments of this video

[@tomsinclair1264]

When I was born again in the 80's, I watched so many Jimmy Swaggart sermons, and was deeply affected by them. He really taught the gospel. Then he was caught with a prostitute. So don't hang on to men too tightly. Always be on your guard. Keep your heart with all diligence.

[@ken1302]

I have the utmost respect for J.MacArthur but I am sure he would wholeheartedly agree with this - man is only the messenger bearing a seed. It is God who provides the increase. If the seed is good and falls on good soil it will grow. When I was first being saved I did not know where to turn so I tuned in Kenneth Copeland because he was available. I quickly found I did not hear my Lord's voice although there were morsels of truth intermixed with what he said. But he had no negative effect on the strength of my faith. It is the Word that counts - not the messenger. So when beloved pastors fall prey to sin, it does not necessarily reflect badly on what they taught - just that we are all sinners and fall far short of who we should be.

[@scottkraniak4941]

May we not put any man up to high. Even John McCarther it seems he is lifted up as infallible by some. I see people as followers of JM which we should not do. If Ravi could fall if Peter could deny Christ why is JM above them. Psalm 118:8-9. Be very careful all of us as God will have no one lifted up or defended above him. It's as if the followers of JM can not fathom him ever doing anything wrong nor teaching anything wrong. If that is you then JM has become your JC. Just careful church. Humility is the greatest sign of maturity. Even Paul called himself the chief sinner. My two cents.

But JM. Comes across as rigid and stubborn.I do not believe the tulip doctrine, (Calvinism) is NOT correct. But PLEASE let’s not tear each other apart.I prefer to listen to Jack Hibbs, and JD Farag. I would greatly appreciate some input about Amanda Grace. My daughter is really into her but Iam concerned.

[@linda2468lou]

Scott Kraniak, it is not that John MacArthur can't/doesn't sin. It's more about the lifestyle of John MacArthur being so different than Ravi's especially since John MacArthur is a member of a church and under the authority of church elders and deacons who watch over the flock for signs of sinning and unholy behaviors. Ravi spent long periods of time in Asia and out of town being away from the watchful eyes of a congregation and church leaders. I am not even certain that Ravi was a member of a church. But one other thing which seems more important from reading the report provided from his own ministry's investigative team is that Ravi's sins were accumulating over a long period of time and it was more like a pattern of his living over time, a lifestyle. Whereas, John MacArthur may sin but his lifestyle is holy, set apart from worldly living. Another important point to know is that anyone who "follows" (learns from) John MacArthur would NEVER substitute John for Jesus Christ (JC as you disrespectfully call my Lord and Savior).

[@PoliteLeader]

Thank you, Pastor Peters for once again defending Pastor John MacArthur. It is truly a sad thing when so many who profess themselves to be true believers attack a man of God who the Lord has used as a means to spread the pure gospel to so many across the globe. God's blessings, my dear brother.

Pastor John truly is a humble man. Our son attended Master's College and one week that we were there another student corrected John on the chapel sermon he had given. He simply said that he would check into that and the next time he spoke, he shared what this young man pointed out to him and then admitted he had been wrong on that point and spoke to the correction. That was in the late '90's and his grace and humility so struck me, it is as vivid now as it was then.

By the way, the McArthur study Bible is one of the best investments I’ve ever made. Regardless of how you feel about him personally, his work speaks for itself. I would highly encourage obtaining one so you can see for yourself.

[@Savedbygrace22]

@@Baba_Wawa Hi, haven’t seen you in a while hope your doing well👋. I have the MacArthur study Bible as well on my iPad and purchased the study notes with it. It really has been indispensable for helping me understand difficult passages as well as hot button topics on moral issues to get his scholarly wisdom. I also have a reformation study Bible from Ligonier ministries and they almost always compliment each other. We are truly blessed 😊 Lord bless you

They're going after John because he wouldn't shut down

[@Christinme4ever]

I am from Alberta, and I can tell you that Satan is trying very hard to destroy the churches. I have not attended our church for the same reasons that many who believe in standing firm in their conscience are doing. We have been basically forced to do underground church if we do not comply with the Covid-19 protocols of not singing, and not wearing masks in the church. It is so sad. I applaud James Coates and I am behind him 100%

[@Christinme4ever]

John MacArthur is not afraid of men, that's why he is under fire. Any man that stands as firmly on his convictions in God and God's sovereignty is a threat to those who are weak in faith or have no faith. Why? Because nothing can truly harm those who are not afraid. God is for them. And if you have the Holy God of the Universe standing with you, you have nothing to fear. John knows that if they grind his name in the ground, it doesn't change who Christ is. And he is about setting Christ on the top of the pedestal, not himself. We all need to take a page out of John's book. And his financial wealth is furthering God's work in this world. After so many years of faithfully preaching the truth to the world, John deserves the ability to be rewarded. Men like him are examples of Christ. They are priceless.

[@wallyloose8952]

@@Christinme4ever well I’m from Alberta to, and this pastor is on an ego trip and putting all his congregation in risk. We have not attended our church for a while but we still watch every service online. We are limited to 15% attendance for churches but that will change as cases drop. Amazingly he is going against scripture where we are commanded to obey the laws of the land, and in this case it is very important fo the welfare of our neighbors that is also a biblical commandment for Christians. This pastor is doing more harm to the Christian testimony than good. I think it is time they also start fining attendees also. Since God is everywhere I cannot understand people that have to attend a building when most churches are online.

[@Christinme4ever]

You need to watch his sermon from February 14th. You will see that you are the ones who are taking the scripture out of context. Time to step up and put God first, not man.

[@wallyloose8952]

@@Christinme4ever God is always first and in control. His ego is giving all of us Christians a bad name, yes he is where he belongs as he wants to be there, and yes his congregation that is attending these services need to be fined also. As a Christian I am to follow the laws of the country, period, unless the laws go against scripture. What the government has put in place to try and keep the cases down is not against scripture. He is perverting God’s Word to further his ego and he will be judged.

[@Izthefaithful]

Honestly can’t say that I blame him. Also who cares if he has some wealth. I just can’t honestly find anything wrong with what he teaches and he seems pretty humble in his attitude. That kind of thing is just not the case with others. I.e. Todd White, Ken Copeland and that kind of ilk. Plus I’ve grown through JM teaching and Grace to you. For the first time in my life some time ago I learned what real biblical sanctification was and it brought relief to my soul that I could see the Holy Spirits work in my life. Just can’t hardly find teaching now a days like GTY

Thanks. Great comment. Same here. John's book, The Gospel According to Jesus turned my easy believism world upside down. The Lordship of Christ became my utmost importance.

Justin, thank you for this video, but both you and John MacArthur have shown integrity, truth, and love in your ministries. The fact that so many professed Christians jump onto social media to go on attack mode towards either you or John MacArthur shows the depths of discernment for so many. Neither one of you have to explain every single aspect of your ministries, particularly against baseless attacks, but you are gracious enough to do explain many things anyway. I truly believe you and Dr. MacArthur are examples of John 13:35. God bless.

[@JustinPetersMin]

What a kind note, Eric. Thank you so much, brother. Blessings to you and your family :)

[@FiveSolasMap]

John MacArthur is a wonderful teacher. I utilize his study Bible nearly everyday (the best birthday present my wife could have gotten me). The only thing I would ever disagree with him on are his millennial views. However, many of his colleagues have varying millennial views and they can still remain brothers in Christ (e.g. RC Sproul's views are different even if they are fluid). Thank you, Justin for your continued service to Christ through your ministries.

[@dorothywillms4290]

No thanks to Sproul. Calvinism has hurts lots of people. They really persecuted Anabaptists

[@TylerGG]

Premill is Biblical. Other views rely on so many assumptions and changing of hermeneutics, and trying to change what God says. JM eschatology is spot on because of his consistency interpretation of all scripture.

[@FiveSolasMap]

@@dorothywillms4290 Calvinism is misunderstood.

[@FiveSolasMap]

@@TylerGG I won't argue eschatology. It is a secondary issue. As long as we both have faith in Christ alone by grace alone through faith alone for the glory of God alone, then we're good and we can share that news with unbelievers. Grace to you.

[@rnjan99]

An elder should be "beyond reproach". St. Paul defended himself - over and over again. What does John MacArthur have to hide? What??

[@christophersmith7412]

Beyond reproach doesn't mean beyond accusation. Jesus was falsely accused of all kinds of wickedness He could have defended himself and rebuked every false charge but did not. We are called to follow his example. Julie Roys is doing everything she can to dig up dirt on MacArthur but none of it sticks. She should be ashamed.

In light of RZIM being destroyed by the actions of its namesake after reading Psa 49:11-12 this morning I wonder if it’s wise to ever name a ministry after yourself.

[@lolaguide4648]

Paul washers ministry sent a full disclosure of all their finances. They paid 70 grand a year for pics and videos. They support hundreds of missionaries around the world. Their administrative costs are low. No one there earns a quarter of a million a year. But then they serve the lowly of the world. No focus on them. Just pity for the persecuted Johnny mac.

[@suzipam1234]

I have to say I watch both you and John. John has filled many hours with wonderful Jesus teachings. I rely on his podcasts which I listen to each night. John is totally solid in a world of a lot of people who are not greatly biblical, sadly, anymore

[@MARKOzekoZECEVIC]

Wow what a wonderful man is this John... Wow..

[@frederickshedd655]

John has nothing to apologize for. Although I do not agree with him on his Calvinistic views, he is a Godly man. The Bible says it is the love of money that is evil. John does not love money, he uses it for God. Thank you Justin for supporting John MacArthur

[@MARANATHA-AMEN]

You Sir, showed biblical wisdom by NOT requesting an interview that would have put a true, gracious and humble man of GOD into a position of having to decline - having to "defend" himself and list his godly attributes, or "prove" himself. Let another...praise you (defend you) and not your own words. Indeed. Those who are out to slander the character of a genuine Christian would (if given an opportunity) twist the truth and make it look like proud boasting or outright deception. John MacArthur has taught me many truths from the WORD of GOD. He has been greatly used by GOD to bless me...as have you Justin. May GOD richly bless you and multiple your eternal reward.
