Yes! Amen! Such an amazing teacher of God's word! All who hear him are blessed.

Kamala Harris is far less than a woman… May be a vessel of wrath fitted for destruction born to be destroyed

Indeed! Hard to listen to esp with our soft served culture of Christianity ,,, but oh so good to know the whole truth of the Bible and this type of teaching so much needed in our church life of pragmatism.

Ok

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.

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

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..!

@@ceejaydelacruz7046 Thank you

wealth isn't necessarily sinful dude. have you given away all of your wealth? if you have internet access then you're already wealthier than most of the planet. why are you such a hypocrite?

So what is false about MacArthur? Where does error lie in his preaching? Is he proud /boastful and a lover of money ? Has he had multiple marriages or rumours of corruption over him ? What do those closest to him say about his character?

@@clarkemcclymont2879 Thank you for asking these questions. If you noticed the person critical of JM never refers to any specific corruption or examples.

More claims without proof.

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?

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.

@@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

@@truth7416 amazing insight and I understand completely what you said! I didn't go to church either for almost 2 years. He gave everything I have and have been called to do on his own. I Have had many prophetic dreams from the Lord and he had chosen me to be one of the "slaves " to wake up my Catholic church family and my unbeliever family. Not an easy task! But this message lines up 100% to what he gave in my dream! Yet again another confirmation I've been praying for. He truly is coming back soon! Maranatha!!!!!

@@Michelle-rm4cl Thank you Michelle. Isn't it funny how quickly we can recognize each other as children of THE KING? May God bless your service from your side of the Arena! Catholics are far easier to wake up that a Reformed Calvinist. But still so hard. When a message lines up 100% with scripture you know that you know it can only come from one source. The Holy Spirit our guide and councillor. God Bless you! Truth In Love

If you're from Scotland you might not understand the preaching. God bless your heart. May your heart be filled with humility and meekness because you sound arrogant and conceited. Have a blessed day.

Sounds like you're describing the apostate church of Scotland

We all know the Bible? I'm pretty sure you don't know at as well as JMac.

Instead of Love Scotland, how about love and fear God Almighty.
