John speaks the uncompromising truth of God's word, Thank you Jesus ✝️🙏

Im not afraid to die anymore i was dead my whole life thank you Jesus for choosing me im just a sinner I'm the worst person I know but I'm yours do what you want with me Jesus please

God Bless all comments. I believe total inability. Sinners may have fun but then increasing misery to a point of despair then God who sees the heart crying moves to quicken the dead in sin.psalm18 inmy distress I called... my cry came before him this is all Gods doing. God knows the day sinner is ready to receive repentance and faith. he grants new birth on that day... this how I got it...

As I have had many times struggled against these doctrines, can no longer deny the truth in them, it is as though, and I'm sure it is, that God has by His grace, opened my eyes to His Word, and the truth in the Word, and these doctrines that are clearly stated.

We were 5 years in Japan teaching the Word. I was puzzled that only a small percentage of hearers actually accepted the gospel though they heard same information. I prayed, being an Arminian. I asked the Lord why some didn't believe! I read trough the Bible and the Lord really opened my eyes to the facts and history of God's sovereign choosing. I followed this thread throughout the entire Scripture. I was worried since no one ever spoke of this. I started to share with my husband and he saw it too! So ..... By careful research the doctrine of God's election is absolutely the case. Thank you Lord. Sheila Graham

This is, as always with MacArthur, spot on. Any denial or argument is unBiblical. Calvin would not want any doctrine to be named after him because it's not about him. It's about what the Bible says repeatedly. Anyone still holding to the argument or slander against Calvin has obviously not read the "Institutes of the Christian Religion". I used to be an Arminian/Pelagian until I was called out on the logic of it. It can be broken down to the most simple question. Every true Christian was chosen; the Bible repeatedly states this or one doesn't believe what It says. So, were Christians chosen because of what God would see them doing in the future (ie them choosing Him), or were they chosen because of His own good pleasure that was not in any way dependent on anything they did? The Bible clearly states the latter. If people chose God, that would be the action/deed that made their salvation dependent upon, therefore that deed would be the actuation of what saved them. If God looked into the future to see who would choose Him, He wouldn't see anyone because no on would. The natural man can't discern spiritual things because he is spiritually dead and they are foolishness to him. This kind of reversed soteriology/theology puts unconverted sinners, who are dead in trespasses and sin, bringing themselves to life by choosing to be born again. Until searching, studying, and comparing, I used to think like this. Man does not/ cannot choose God. This is the Bible as plain as It can state.

Beautiful sermon John. Thank you

Thank you Lord, for bringing John MacArthur’s teachings and wisdom into my life as a redeemed Christ follower and worshiper🙏 I find it quite amazing, how extremely clear this doctrine of election and our spiritual deadness is! And yet, many wonderful christians reject God’s sovereign power and freedom to do His own will for His plans and glory! Thank You John and thank you Lord, for your amazing grace and wisdom 🙏

there is comfort and security in knowing that God does all the deciding and willing. If youre like me, and tried pleasing God with your own ability, it will leave you broken, insecure and utterly hopless. but Thank you jesus Christ, its not up to me, but up to you. in that i find peace and you will as well. God bless

No one comes unless drawn!

Mind you I was saved before i heard any preacher Jn3v21 brought me to the light!

Thank you Pastor John for this great teaching and analogy on "dead." May the Lord continue to bless you in bringing forth the truth of God

This is excellent teaching that I love and when I meditate on my own heart apart from grace I despair but thanks to Jesus alone I am hopeful.

Thank God i got this !! such messages are rare and when they come, i seize them violently !

One of, if not the best, Biblical explanations of this critical doctrine.

I believe in Gods words all of them

God knows the hearts of men

This is probably the best sermon I have ever heard on a difficult subject

1 Timothy 4:10 -11 "(for for this are we toiling and being reproached), that we rely on the living God, Who is the SAVIOUR OF ALL MANKIND, especially of believers. These things be charging AND TEACHING." (CAPS mine)

"Jesus is no Arminian"- John McArthur

God saved me

Unless God enlighten our hearts, no way can a man see the depravity of his heart. Belief in himself and his ability will never be debunked. And for sure will be resisting this kind of preaching!

I'm dead. I begged God for forgiveness and He answered me, but either I sinned or resisted by a bit, so I didn't get saved. I kept working my way to be forgiven and answered but it's not working, so a year later I'm still dead, which is sad because God is everything everyone needs but doesn't know it yet. So I think to myself, maybe I'm the one who has tasted the heavenly gift and then fell away. Even so, God has been good to me through the year. My core is still corrupted by something and is in pain and I don't know what to do. People say come to Christ but I don't know how to do that exactly. God has been giving me hope by being good to me, but my inside is still down, so I'm tired of fighting with myself. Repent, have faith, believe, give yourself to God, how do I do that? I want to but how?

We are chosen by Lord for His kingdom, only the chosen have power to save others and this crazy world. The rest who are not chosen sadly will die in their sins. It is a gift from God to only the ones HE truly loves and always responds too. Only spiritually alive are able to rise after death, they can see God and go to God. The rest are unable to move for their ears and eyes was closed while living on earth, absolutely this makes sense to me for I am chosen and I understand the meaning of gospel and this sermon very deeply.

This is incredible! Lazarus story is Gods parable for us to understand how we are chosen for repentance. ❤Thanks for this share. 2024 the Word of God is still real !

beautifully detailed.

All the bad comments here just proves about this doctrines. Those who deny/reject this doctrine, is not because they think its wrong or unblilblical, I mean its all over the bible. But Ultimately because they are NOT willing and also NOT able to understand it. Why? as explained, because God sovereignly choose some people to understand the truth and consequently some people, not. Only for his Glory.

They preached that people should repent The book of acts!

Thank You JESUS !!!

Allow me to ask prayers for my children and i please 🙏

Adam and Eve were not totally deprived. They could care for the garden. Listen to God and choose to be obey. Somebody said, “He that endures to the end.” Dr. David Pawson has a book with over 75 more verses. Study your Bible sir.

Amazing!

Why have only 60,000 people heard this message ?

absolute truth~ if anyone doesnt believe this, consider urself decieved

Thankyou John MacArthur for preaching the truth of God's word. Neil Windahl

Yup, I see why the comments should be disabled.

Powerfully true!!🤔

Is there a transcript from John's message? Was there a book created from his message on the doctrine of Election?

Pls answer, are the ones who reject this teaching saved? Those who believe that it was their choice, are they saved?

You can continue planting seeds but I it is not God's will the person will never be saved. some no matter how hard you lecture or preach them are destined to burn in hell, so do not get angry. Just be yourself and leave them alone. Do your job and leave it to God, maybe Lord changes mind and save the individual hopefully before he or she dies, ...

Please Jesus will my salvation!!! Save me Jesus

Inablitiy?

This believe sounds very true but it has a terrifying shadow. It says that God willed Adam to sin. So Adam didn't disobeyed God by sinning, he obeyed him and had to pay a price for it. People love this teaching because of all of what it teaches about humans. But what does it say about God? It says that God is the source of evil. Maybe it's true but at least be honest about it. But there is one problem. The bible never says that God is the source of evil. But the sovereignty of God believe teaches that God is. There is a MacArthur's video that I saw few months ago where he openly says that God is the source of evil.

MATTHEW 16:16 “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jona! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. 18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”

#AMEN #JMACRocks4JESUSCHRIST #PTL!

What the heck is Inablitiy?

22:57 It's not 'galoshians' like a pair of galoshes . A man of his age has heard it pronounced correctly many times before. I've even heard him say it correctly BEFORE. It's Galatians. Ga·la·tians | \ gə-ˈlā-shənz. BUT he's in California were everything in that states is touched by a moonbeam.

What's inablitiy?

You can repent and believe.

The endless "dog chasing its own tail arguments" on this issue has wasted more energy in the church than any issue in church history. I am sure God is VERY, VERY concerned about the true heart of every believer, whether they think they had a role in salvation by decision or if Gods enablement surpassed their own will. Yep, right at the top of His list. I have not met one Christian in a lifetime who thinks their salvation is of themself. "I did it man, I saved myself. I found God, man. It was me" is not a part of anyone's perspective I know of or have ever known, nor has it been naturally a practical matter unless a Calvinist has come along and questioned motive and encouraged an anal fixation. The 16th-century priority of sovereignty was to displace a belief of church sovereignty and to address blatant, corrupt policies in the Catholic church, not to pretend one has figured out the mystery of where God's enablement ends and where human will begins. This is an inflated issue in terms of its relevance upon the modern church, always cast in a veneer of false importance by Calvinists as a matter of core priority, and it is way too often used as a weapon to undermine the hearts of blood-bought believers from differing persuasions. We can agree God is sovereign, and we can agree human will plays a role at some point in responding to God. The rest is mystery. The truth is, this issue is brought up regularly to reinforce the bedrock doctrine of the reformed movement through which every other doctrine is interpreted and through which every other doctrine in Scripture takes a second place. The Bible does not teach this kind of priority, nor does it teach "sovereignty" as the cornerstone of Christian doctrine. Calvin taught this priority as a tradition in accordance to historical context. End of story.

The Pivotal Question an why I Left Calavnism, is that Cal wants me to believe that GOD who made us all,knew beforehand that all people before they were born could all possibly go to Hell forever including Children, and that would be Glorius, IF God ordained that way. YET God said it was GOOD. Made in HIS IMAGE , calls us the jewel of his creation,Gives us choice as evidenced with the tree in the garden, yet none of Us have Nothing to do or say about anything, YET commands all to REPENT, pleads with people to Turn, But We cannot. No Wonder Some calvanists Wont Preach,yet its also another Command by Jesus to do just that!! 4 pt calvanists at least have rejected that terrible L in tulip .where Calvin Himself called it Dreadful and Terrible.Where Tension is the operative WORD by many leading calvinists today. Augustine and Calvin also rejected Limited Atonement and Earliest Refomers major majority Rejected it as well. Had to leave this Brutal view!!

Well John does get this point right ...but it's a shame he gets limited atonement completely wrong.. He's no better off than the Arminianists he seeks to correct Calvinism and Arminianism are both exclusive and both are nothing but heresy.

Dr John McArthur is a calvinist who embraces its 5 pillars acronymned TULIP. There is no scriptural evidence to their added doctrines except their man made creation from adding and subtracting God’s Word. There is no ‘total depravity’ in Scripture as Calvinist defines it to be a human condition incapable of responding to God’s calling unless He first regenerates the person. There is depravity in Scripture but not the calvinists’ version called ‘Total’ depravity. There is no ‘unconditional election’ in scripture which Clavinists defines as God’s absolute sovereign act that He already chose the elect even before you were born or could know right from wrong. Calvinist also believes the flipside of it that the damned to hell were also chosen before man was born or knew right from wrong. Election is scriptural but not the calvinists’ interpretation. There is no ‘Limited Atonement’ in scripture as Calvinist defines it as atonement is only for those whom God selected as His elect otherwise He would not be sovereign, all knowing or would become a wasteful God. Atonement is in scripture but not the Calvinists’ version. There is no “Irresistible Grace” in Scripture that Calvinists defines as grace that is effective that He made sure you could not resist whether you like it or not as He will make you like it and not resist it irrespective of your desire. Grace is in Scripture but not the calvinists’ version. There is no “preservation or perseverance of the saints” in Scripture as Calvinist defines it as you will never ever lose your salvation because the Holy Spirit has sealed you irreversibly before God once you are His otherwise He is not loving, not committed to His promise or not a powerful God. Perseverance of saints is scriptural as it calls believers to make every effort to work out salvation but not the Calvinists’ version. Dr John McArthur embraces these man made doctrines of calvinism and the man who they ascribed these doctrines to-his name is John Calvin- was the same man when he was ruler of Geneva, had Michael Setvetus, a Spanish theologian and physician, seized and burned alive in Oct. 27, 1533. In fact , Calvin wanted him beheaded and for what...for disagreeing Calvin in some doctrine. John Calvin said that God reprobated those that He passed by to eternal damnation because He is pleased to exclude them from the inheritance of His children. He said that God Himself was and is the author of all evil alongside with good. John Piper, another Calvinist, said that God Himself authored the holocaust that He Himself is responsible for it. James White, another Calvinist, said that the evil happening on this world is of God’s and he calls them as “purposeful evil” even the rape, torture, and murder of a little girl who may have been predeterminedly and eternally damned to hell. This is Calvinism. Evil is of God. It pleased Him to send many to hell to exclude them from the inheritance of His elect. Mothers and Fathers, is this the God of the Bible? Look at your own children. According to Calvinism, God had already determined who goes to heaven or hell.

It’s amazing how much money the preacher industry makes from using the Bible.

😏

The following passages in the Bible debunk Calvinism's doctrine of "absolute inability". God would not have given the following exhortations in His Word if man was incapable of coming or returning to God. Also, the below passages that have the word "RETURN" indicates that these people once had a good relationship with God. "Return" in those contexts are exhortations to return back to a former relationship of closeness and fellowship with God. Jeremiah 3:12 - Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, RETURN, thou backsliding Israel, saith the Lord; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the Lord, and I will not keep anger for ever. Jeremiah 3:14 - RETURN, O faithless sons,' declares the LORD; 'For I am a master to you, And I will take you one from a city and two from a family, And I will bring you to Zion.' Jeremiah 3:22 - "RETURN, O faithless sons, I will heal your faithlessness." "Behold, we come to You; For You are the LORD our God. Malachi 3:7 - "From the days of your fathers you have turned aside from My statutes and have not kept them RETURN TO ME, AND I WILL RETURN TO YOU," says the LORD of hosts. "But you say, 'How shall we return?' Jeremiah 15:19 - Therefore, thus says the LORD, "IF YOU RETURN, THEN I WILL RESTORE YOU-- Before Me you will stand; And if you extract the precious from the worthless, You will become My spokesman. They for their part may turn to you, But as for you, you must not turn to them. Deuteronomy 4:30 - "When you are in distress and all these things have come upon you, in the latter days YOU WILL RETURN TO THE LORD your God and listen to His voice. Isaiah 31:6 - RETURN TO HIM from whom you have deeply defected, O sons of Israel. Isaiah 55:7 - Let the wicked forsake his way And the unrighteous man his thoughts; AND LET HIM RETURN TO THE LORD, And He will have compassion on him, And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon. Jeremiah 4:1 - If thou wilt RETURN, O Israel, saith the LORD, RETURN UNTO ME: and if thou wilt put away thine abominations out of my sight, then shalt thou not remove. Hosea 6:1 - COME, AND LET US RETURN UNTO THE LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. Hosea 12:6 - THEREFORE TURN THOU TO THY GOD: keep mercy and judgment and wait on thy God continually. Hosea 14:1 - O Israel, RETURN UNTO THE LORD THY GOD; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity. Zechariah 1:3 - Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; TURN YE UNTO ME, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. Joel 2:12 - "Yet even now," declares the LORD, "RETURN TO ME with all your heart, And with fasting, weeping and mourning; Job 22:23 - If thou RETURN to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles. Lamentations 3:40 - Let us search and try our ways, and TURN AGAIN to the Lord. 2 Chronicles 15:4 - But when they in their trouble DID TURN UNTO THE LORD GOD of Israel, and sought him, HE WAS FOUND OF THEM. Psalm 78:34 - When He killed them, then they SOUGHT Him, And RETURNED and SEARCHED DILIGENTLY FOR GOD.

If God is truly sovereign, then He is ABLE to give man the ability to make choices that will not in anyway thirteen His sovereignty. And if HE declares that faith exercised my man is not a work or result of human effort, and makes that faith the requirement for man's entering into salvation, why must we object to His wise plan as explained His written/revealed directions re. salvation be a "mystery?" What mystery other than imposed upon the very clear texts?? McArthur has just confessed in this sermon that he "made up the concept of "absolute inability" because it "fits" his imposed theory!!!

Again was john the baptist totally depraved an had no inability. DID mary not accept on her own to bare JESUS!! noah walked with GOD- was he too derpraved. WE are ALL made in Gods image-an john 1 verse 9 says the LIGHT of CHRIST is in all men. jesus says that man does some good works-depite being evil. but sin cannt enter heaven an all men are practical sinners-thats why we neeed CHRIST to save us. IF WE exercise our free will an accept and trust jesus we can KNOW we are saved. GOD knows that im going to cut my grass this week!! but if i dont cut the grass GOD also knows that. but just because GOD knows all . that dont MEAN its DETERMINED. SOME things GOD does determine - but man does not know that. we were GIVEN free will to exact LOVE. LOVE must be free , thats why GOD put the TREE in the garden!! he gave us a CHOICE . GOD can do as he pleases but ALL thru the bible he says in many many cases people were not WILLING to accept HIM. god wishes all to be saved, an thats why peter says he is LONG suffering-patience -to give all men a chance. we are ALL sinners for sure, an we are saved by GRACE thru faith. faith is responding to a wooing of gods spirit to all men -not just some-that makes no sense. WHY would GOD make a race an then send them all to HELL!! would not sending ALL to heaven be a better choice?? of course. but thats NOT what the bible says. GOD sent Jesus an thry HIM the world can be saved-but many will not accept HIM. GOD DOES NOT SEND PEOPLE TO HELL!! MAN sends themselves to hell!! by not accepting and TRUSTING in GOD.

The inqiusitor John Calvin was spiritual dead and so is McArthur all flesh, I hope John McArthur comes to a spiritual knowledge of the One true God Hahem Yahshua.

john macarthur has a great knowledge but he loves to despise mock disdain and espise charismatic preachers and then he preaches on love

All of Calvinism is purely philosophical, and you have to ignore reason and twist the scripture to conform scripture to fit belief.

Bad analogy, Salvation has nothing to with the resurrection of Lazarus. As for being dead in our sins, yes.Free will is everywhere in scripture, except when JM ministers. Good man, loves Jesus. but no.

John you will pay for this when you face God's judgement.

He plucks it out of scripture. A little here and a little there. Just like a JW or Mormon. Total inability is totally wrong.

He is pushing TULIP. Heresy of the highest degree.

This is an awful misuse of God's Word. He is using God' Name in vain! Why use John 11 rather than Luke 15: “For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.’ And they began to celebrate.” (Luke 15:24 ESVi). Spiritual death and physical death are different!! Joh knows that!! He is deliberately deceiving his hearers!

John MacArthur has never revealed, much less repudiated, his family’s ties to Freemasonry. Instead he praises them, which makes his hypocritical expose of Freemasonry a shining example of how Satan’s ministers are transformed into ministers of righteousness. “For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.” 2 Cor. 11:13-15 Another less obvious connection to Freemasonry was announced in 1996 when the Mayor and City Council of Los Angeles signed a resolution congratulating John MacArthur on his ministry “which has advanced the causes of Jesus Christ worldwide. ...and [the Council] wishes him continued fruitfulness in all of his future endeavors for the glory of God.” The Mayor of Los Angeles at the time was Richard J. Riordan, who was a Knight of Malta. The Knights of Malta, in concert with the Prieuré de Sion, are leaders of global politics, finance, religion and intelligence. (See: L.A. Council Resolution Praises MacArthur) watch-unto-prayer.org/macarthur-6-freemasonry.html

There is NO SUCH Doctrine of "INABILITY to RESPOND to the GOSPEL !! As Every human Being HAS ABILITY To RESPOND to the GOSPEL, simply because Every human being is given a "Measure of Faith", that is part of the intellect at Birth !!! If what MacArthur is propagating, that we have NO ABILITY to respond to the Gospel is True, then why preach the Gospel, as No one has the ability to respond,....Right ? .......Ah, but here's the CALVINISTS CATCH, as they take the TRANSLITERATED into ENGLISH wording of Acts 13:48 which reads as follows;..." And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ORDAINED To ETERNAL LIFE Believed." Anyone who knows GREEK, will know that this is the directly Transliterated wording of the "backwards" GREEK Wording, when NOT Correctly TRANSLATED into ENGLISH !! The scripture makes it CLEAR that FAITH comes by Hearing, and Hearing by the Preaching of the Gospel. Another scriptural FACT, is that After hearing the Gospel, the individual hearer, needs to RESPOND ( By FREE WILL CHOICE ) to the Gospel ( By FAITH ) REPENT and CONFESS their SINS, ONLY After which, they are "Ordained to Eternal life" The scriptures are ABSOLUTELY CLEAR on this FACT, that a persons FREE-WILL Response by Faith , and repentance, PRECEDES any ACCEPTANCE ( ordination ) into the Kingdom of GOD !!! Therefore, the CORRECTLY TRANSLATED Sentence of ACTS 13:48, should read as follows;....."And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as BELIEVED, were Ordained to Eternal life." Also What this Above video PROVES , is that MacARTHUR does not have "A-Grip" on the GREEK Language, because if he did, he would have known that this sentence in the KJV was TRANSLITERATED , when compared to the GREEK wording, and as such is NOT CORRECTLY TRANSLATED !! CALVINISM, is a Religious FRAUD !! The First and highest Command in GOD'S Law, is that we must Love God with "All our Heart, Soul,Mind, and Strength". ( Mk.12:30, KJV ) So LOVE is the Highest Ethic, that must be treasured !! But we can NEVER Express Love, without intrinsically incorporating into it, the FREEDOM of the Personal Will !! It is IMPOSSIBLE for GOD to EXPERIENCE Love from His Creation, ( whether it being from the Angels, or from us Humans ) if there is no FREEDOM of Personal Will !!! Which in turn means, that If we are compelled by GOD to Love Him, without us having the FREEDOM of CHOICE to Love GOD, we can never TRULY Love GOD, as Love is a Personal Attribute , incorporating the Heart, Soul, and Mind, that can ONLY be Activated by the Choice of our FREE WILL !!! The Biblical Fact, that LUCIFER and the Angels were Created WITH the FREEDOM of WILL, is PROVEN in the account of LUCIFER and a third of the Angelic Host's CHOICE to REBEL against GOD, and become "Fallen Creatures" !! Likewise, we humans are ALSO created with the "Freedom of Will", to "Choose between the Good, and the Evil", as is exemplified in Isa.7:16. ( KJV ) As such, THIS Biblical FACT, destroys the CALVINIST IDEA of "Total Depravity", ( the "T" in T.U.L.I.P. ) And without it , the whole acronym T.U.L.I.P. Collapses, ...proving CALVINISM to be a TOTAL FRAUD, and a RELIGIOUS HERESY !!! Morgan Sorensen ( Biblical Theologian )

lies. unbiblical lies

Unregenerate man is indeed depraved, but not to the extent that Calvinism teaches. Man still has the image of God in him - Romans 1:19-21 Calvinism teaches that man is so depraved that God has to first bestow upon him the gift of "faith" to enable him to believe, but only on those that God chooses to be among the "elect". This teaching contradicts Romans 10:17 which clearly teaches that faith comes by hearing the gospel. According to the false doctrine of Calvinism "faith" is a gift that comes directly from God and bypasses the preacher. The gift is not faith, but the gift is eternal life through Jesus finished work on the Cross.

Calvinism is NOT biblical. There are too many passages that abolish this false idea of "total depravity"
