Amen, praise the Lord Almighty!!! Its almost surreal and unbelievable when he saves us and we don't understand why he would ever choose us. He is amazing beyond explanation. The more I know about him and closer I get in my relationship by prayer and reading the word I am completely overwhelmed with who God is and how great and grand he is. God is everything and the fullness of everything. Before I knew God my life was meaningless and I had no joy or excitement to look forward to but since he has brought me from death unto life every single day and moment is exciting and anticipating knowing more about him. Thank you Lord, holy holy holy are you and to be praised and worship for we are truly unworthy of your glory but you still gave us repentance for salvation as an option and Jesus death on the cross, paying for our sin is truly amazing how loving you are Lord to do that for us by your grace. Thank you Lord thank you so much! “For you did not choose me, but I chose you. -John 15:16 worthy you are of all praise and worship Lord

Me too brother. Lost in a big way and saved in an even bigger way. God bless

Oh. My God I have never thought of an ending like this, you made my blind eyes see the truth . Thank God for Grace !

@@1234poppycat this doesn't necessarily mean and doesn't directly imply Pastor John being a part of or involved in the actions that are the seminary is being accused of nor means it has anything to do directly with/by John MacArthur himself being involved in the actions that have taken place, if they indeed happened. I know my pastor and I know that if he were to be aware of any wrongdoings going on he would have addressed and repaired them immediately. It could have been something going on amongst/by/to the every day faculty and we know it is safe to say that it happens every day that things are going on in a business where the owner is unaware or the last to know

@@apluvslakers1 Of course he is involved . MacArthur is President of Masters University in Santa Clarita, CA. He also has a track record of telling lies about Catholicism in his you tube videos -- one I just read ""Catholicism re sacrifices Jesus over and over again in the Catholic Mass"" When the Catholic Mass and Eucharist is "part of the ONE living and perfect sacrifice " as Jesus commanded 3 times in John 6 (which is supported by 14 other scripture)

@@1234poppycat I was a catholic before I know what they do in their church and indeed every week they recreate the mass of Christ; some churches perform an all out live recreation with church members acting each as a character of the crucifixion of Christ with the most evident and significant person to humanity for our entire existence which is the Lord Jesus Christ always being at the center of the act showing and implying by the mass message itself that we are suffering to the Lord and he is punished for our sins with the person playing Christ showing extreme pain being felt by the actor by letting out cries of pain continously as if Christ is being sacrificed for us that very moment and we are in the very presence of him suffering and being sacrificed for us. Some other catholic churches just say it as part of the sermon that Christ is being sacrificed for us, implying then that Christ work on the cross was not completed when he suffered it once and for all so he is suffering it again and again, totally contrasting Jesus own authoritative truth when as he was passing he stated while still hanging from the cross the words" Tetelastai" - "It IS FINISHED" I also can assure you for a fact that I experienced different teachings at different Catholic churches individually, some which didn't include this teaching but some did practice it... so I guess each Church may even have authority to teach or practice whatever they believed individually within the same religion... ? Either that or maybe the church has different beliefs within the religion which can vary individually to each churchs teachings about what it believed...? Look ALL I can really tell you is for sure that I know being Catholic I was completely confused and had no idea what I believed in and all I know is that from my family, for most or all the previous generations the only thing that they knew for sure including my Mom herself is that they were Catholic because their parent was Catholic and on and on it was being passed on as a tradition to the family, I am actually the first one to boldly and gladly abandon the belief of me being Catholic as some kind of inheritance and live satisfied with that. I actually started reading the word of God and getting more interested in God something that I'm sure came from his grace alone to look upon me and give me those little questions that didn't sound right in my head once I started reading the Bible I understood completely that the church was a complete heresy and blessing me to the real living God and the word of God which the church does not teach or practice it is actually something that they are even against! so then I ask where is their authority coming from who is the authority on what they believe and why they stand by it and all I can say is if it is not from God I can imagine where it might be coming from in that case. I don't want to offend anybody please do not in any way take this the wrong way, all I really would recommend to any person who is standing strong for something and doesn't really know exactly where the belief comes from or where the tradition comes from to if they are interested in really knowing what the real religion and the real Church of God really is is to go and deep deep dive into the word of God that reveals all things through the holy Spirit as said in the same Bible that is the way it was revealed to me and I started seeing every single thing that was completely and boldly rejecting God and Christ. All my small and limited teachings I had ever been taught is that Mary is to be worshipped as God himself and praised, prayed to, believed in, taken flowers to her wooden image at the church and bowing to it and that by completely simply overlooking, skipping Christ and going directly to Mary you would get a sure and quicker response as if she has some kind of higher authority or closer access to have God actually not only hear us but to fulfill our prayers through her mediation....and that we are should pray to her and she intervenes for us to get to God which is completely blaspheming the one and only mediator as the Bible says the one and only person's name that we should be saved by is the name Jesus Christ The one and only mediator between God and man is the man Christ Jesus that goes completely against the word of God. Please just take this as a loving, concerned message do not take this as an attack in any way. I am simply concerned for people's souls for having the wrong belief or praising the wrong God will get you to hell and not to the kingdom of God I think each person should have an opportunity to really know who the real God is and therefore be saved by that God and changed and most of all saved from eternal hell and God's wrath ♥️✝️

@@apluvslakers1 you say you were a Catholic yet it is amazing how you got the fundamentals so wrong. 1 No acting out of the crucifixion 2 No Catholic Church would have people saying the Mass was sacrificing Jesus again - that is straight out of the protestant hate preacher handbook. Catholic Catechism "Worship is reserved for the Godhead alone (Father Son and Holy Spirit)" 3 "Skipping Christ and going direct to Mary" as you say is absurd as in Catholicism Mary and the Saints guide us to Jesus the mediator

The problem is that I understand what he is saying and what he is prepared to go to boost his brand of hate .... He consistently lies and misrepresents Catholicism and specifically the Pope. He is a hate preacher through and through. --- One example is he repeatedly says Catholics Worship Mary --Catholics worship only God Himself, the Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We do not worship Mary or any Saint. To do so would be a form of idolatry. People should be cautious about making judgements on other cultures (in this case Catholic Christianity ) which they do not fully understand. We Catholic Christians pray to Mary. We love her. We talk to her. We ask her prayers. We are affectionate towards her, because she was and is so close to Jesus. As Luke 1:48 says “For He has been mindful of the humble state of his servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed.” Catholics are very happy to be among those like the Orthodox, Copts, Armenians, Syriacs and Ethiopians - all other ancient Churches in fact - who call Mary blessed, who ask her prayers. At Cana Mary alerted Jesus to the wine shortage, and in response He worked his first miracle. Maybe He still works miracles at Mary’s prompting? Those who do not call Mary blessed, are disobeying the Scripture. I don’t think Jesus likes supposed Christians disrespecting his Mother.

That made me weep. God is soo amazing and vastly beyond what we can even comprehend humanly. But I was able to gleen just a little bit more into God‘s incredible grace because his servant exposited the word with diligence.

You are right John MacArthur is saying nothing like sound theology ... MacArthur is President of Masters University in Santa Clarita, CA.

AJA Deacon brother check your heart, even if what you stated above is 100% accurate, have you been praying for this man and his ministry? He has been above reproach in the pulpit for more than 60 years doing Gods work.

@@noetrevino9254 It was not my opinion -- the Western Association of Schools and Colleges found the institution in violation of multiple standards of accreditation. That is fact

I too love to listen to John's intense sermons of God's word. I agree that he truly has a gift. Amen.

I put this in the category of the top 3 best expository I have ever heard. I've often thought if I could have only one page of the Bible and be stranded on an island, what page would it be? I could take this one because it's sooooo full of God.

David Kwon ...yeah he certainly is...one of the best, he never compromise the word of God and the name of God. I thank God for JM life and ministry.

I enjoy a lot of his studies but he certainly does not teach the true gospel. As far as I can tell he preaches the false doctrines of the Trinity, substitutionary sacrifice of Christ, immortality of the soul, heaven as the place of reward for the righteous and hell as the eternal abode of the wicked, and that the devil is a supernatural fallen angel.

The greatest servant of God alive on planet Earth is Zac poonen.......he is the only servant of God who is able to put hand on his heart and say imitate me as I do Christ and Apostle Paul ......

@@richardmorgan3938 can you explain this please?

@@Boisezx6r His theology is completely awry. He believes things like the Trinity that aren't taught in the Bible. See the list I gave for other examples of orthodox Christian doctrine but non-biblical doctrine.

That's the problem with Calvinists. He does not only save the elect.

reformed09 amen brother

So, u saying God neglected the Jews? I am speaking from the context. How he refers to it...

I hope you listened all and understand on what context he said that

Inheritance and salvation two different things, if U accept Christ U will reach heaven but God has laid ahead works for U to do.....if U don't do U won't get rewards as others do...... God bless

What did he add or take away? Just curious.

So you have never sinned again since you were saved???

The text teaches the prodigal's son was lost, and his coming to the Father is equal to his conversion. However some will try to make the parable too literal, as if the son had always been saved and was out living in sin - I don't believe that is what it is teaching.

Warren McGrew David committed adultery and murder and he was a man after gods own heart

No one is perfect.We all sin- including Christians. David, Peter, Moses, Solomon, they all sinned. We all sin. There is no perversion other than your legalism.

@Warren McGrew Man oh man you smack of self righteousness and pharasitical attitudes.

shut up and go read your bible Satan

It's because I read my Bible that I can tel a quack like McArthur from a real teacher and that is why I don't take the crap that comes from their mouth as revelation. You on the other hand revere ravening wolves and worship a god made up by their imagination. May God open your eyes and let you hear and understand the Truth, so you can be an overcomer. And stop taking heed to this guy.

Excuse me, Sir, when you add a "valid inference" to scripture and then say :" this is what happened", I assume you discovered the missing conclusion that would end any speculation so the word of God can finally be attainable to the layman. And the fact that he has been teaching whatever his own imagination has devised based on what he deems fit based on the catholic, protestant, babilonic paradigms he has not get rid off and that poison the well of his understanding, defiling yhe bowl of his intellect thus turning every thought into dung. If hr has been teaching this all this long, it only speaks ill of the ones that took heed, including myself at some point.

Most of the comments here just call people names - if there is a fault in his teaching they need to show from the Bible why that is false instead of just generalizing. No matter who there will always be some fault with everyone because we are all human.

He is a man like any other, seeking holiness but prone to sin, he is not THE authority , he is a preacher trying to help others. We are responsible to read and study for ourselves. To pray for understanding and wisdom, God will guide each humble honest seeker with revelation for his own life. Don’t blame John for not being perfect

Ummm ....what are you talking about? When did he say that? #troll?

@@peoplelover2024 Listen again. However, I am a huge fan of the good pastor.
