Nothing is impossible with Jesus Christ.

Jesus is perfect

A beginner

Yup, Eve blew it

Financial wealth? I am grateful

The moral law are the 10 Commandments: 1 Corinthians‬ ‭15‬:‭56‬ ‭ The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 🙏 ‭‭ 1 John‬ ‭5‬:‭17‬ ‭All wrongdoing is sin, and there is sin that does not lead to death. 🙏 Mark‬ ‭3‬:‭29‬ ‭ whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; they are guilty of an eternal sin. 🙏 😳

Sin is disobeying ALMIGHTY GOD❤.

What a beautiful instrument of God .

The water is JESUS,THE LIVING WATER ! John 4:10 “Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.”

The testimony of Adam and the testimony of Eve both comply with the Vow that one takes when in a court to tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Bro in Christ , am grateful for ur HolySprit series. Our Helper renewing my mind to amplify my faith.

I’m a committed believer but I have lost my first love. Pray for me please. Yes Lord please soften my heart again .

Man this dude is good. Everything he says makes sense.

John MacArthur is the real deal.

It's a mystery. 2 Thessalonians 2:7 ESV - For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way. God’s Omniscient Foreknowledge of Lucifers creation is a mystery to me. What I do know is that the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil has made me a "second hand fool". I did not eat of it, my ancestors did. I inherited the knowledge of good and evil as a third party recipient of my ancestors in the womb of my mother as the Lord was forming me. No one asked me if I wanted to partake of the said fruit! It was forced upon me while I was an unborn fetus in my mother's matrix against my will as God intended. God’s Creation, Justice, Mercy, Grace, Love, Light, Spirit, Nature, Omniscience, Omnipotence, Omnipresence and Purpose, are all a mystery to me until the Holy Spirit teaches me otherwise. I was born with the ability to parse out the difference between the knowledge of good and evil. Hopefully I will not allow the experience of my life to rationalize away that ability, allowing evil to triumph over good in my life. Philippians 1:6 ESV - And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.

The question of whether evil created itself is a profound philosophical and theological issue that touches on the nature of evil, free will, and the role of a divine creator. Here are some key perspectives on this topic: Theological Perspectives Christian Theology: Augustinian View: St. Augustine argued that evil is not a substance or entity but a privation or absence of good. According to this view, evil did not create itself; rather, it is a corruption or perversion of the good created by God. Free Will: Augustine and other Christian theologians emphasize that evil entered the world through the misuse of free will by created beings (angels and humans). Lucifer's rebellion and Adam and Eve's disobedience are seen as the origins of moral evil. God's Good Creation: According to Christian doctrine, God created everything good, and evil arose from the choices of free agents. Thus, evil did not create itself but resulted from the free decisions of creatures. Other Religious Perspectives: Islamic Theology: In Islam, evil is understood as a result of human free will and the influence of Satan (Iblis). God allows evil as a test for humanity, but He is not the author of evil. Evil is seen as a deviation from God's path. Hinduism and Buddhism: These traditions often view evil as ignorance or illusion (Maya) rather than a created entity. In Hinduism, actions (karma) determine one's experiences, and evil is a result of ignorance and attachment. Buddhism emphasizes the role of desire and ignorance in creating suffering. Philosophical Perspectives Privation Theory: This theory, associated with Augustine, posits that evil is not an independent entity but a lack of good. For example, blindness is not a "thing" but the absence of sight. Thus, evil does not have an ontological status by itself but is a deficiency or corruption of something good. Dualism: Some philosophical systems, like Manichaeism, propose a dualistic view where good and evil are seen as two fundamental and opposing forces. However, mainstream Christian, Jewish, and Islamic theologies reject this view, asserting that only good (God) is ultimately real and primary. Existential and Modern Philosophical Views: Existentialists: Thinkers like Jean-Paul Sartre view evil as a result of human freedom and choice. Evil arises from human actions and decisions rather than from a metaphysical source. Process Philosophy: Some modern philosophers argue that evil is an inevitable part of a dynamic and evolving universe. They suggest that the presence of evil allows for growth, learning, and the development of virtues like courage and compassion. Summary and Conclusion The question of whether evil created itself can be addressed from multiple angles: Religious: Most religious traditions, particularly in Christianity and Islam, maintain that evil did not create itself but is a result of the misuse of free will by created beings. God created everything good, and evil is a corruption or absence of that good. Philosophical: The privation theory holds that evil is not an independent entity but a lack or corruption of good. Dualistic views, which posit evil as a fundamental force, are generally rejected by monotheistic religions. Existential and Modern Views: Contemporary perspectives often see evil as arising from human freedom and the complexities of an evolving universe. Ultimately, whether one views evil as self-created, a result of free will, or a lack of good depends on one's theological or philosophical framework.

52 years ago he preaches this

Martin Luther didn't believe in predestination, and I'm a Lutheran! The rest of your preaching I love. "Let the dead bury the dead" opened my eyes.

Absolutely the best explanation of the origin of evil I have heard!

According to TULIP CALVINISM the holy, righteous God of the Bible is the author and cause of ALL SIN AND EVIL. According to MacArthurs beliefs and teaching, his God has DECREED "ALL" THINGS THAT EVER HAPPEN, and "NOTHING" CAN EVER HAPPEN OUTSIDE OF THE WILL OF GOD. This is the foundationional pillar of TULIP CALVINISMS fatalistic and very extreme "sovereignty of God" doctrine. If this theology is true, then this demands that the holy righteous God of the Bible DECREED the fall into SIN of Lucifer in heaven, and the fall of Adam and Eve into SIN on earth. MacArthurs God then has also DECREED the practice of ALL SIN AND EVIL throughout history. Thus, the source and origin of SIN and ALL EVIL comes from the pure and holy God of the Bible according to TULIP CALVINISM, MacArthur, Piper, White, Sproul, Palmer and all TULIP WORSHIPERS. Be sure to know dear reader, CALVINISMS insidious theology is doctrines of devils. BEWARE of the poisonous and deadly flower of TULIP. It is "another gospel" and ALL who teach and follow it are presently living under God's curse, as recorded in Galatians chapter one.

Mr. MacArthur WORSHIPS and serves "a God" who is the greatest MANHATER in history. MacArthur believes and very arrogantly and aggressively teaches that the holy, righteous and "JUST GOD" of the Bible, has DECREED that the VAST MAJORITY of mankind, BEFORE they were born or had committed "one" sin, will GO TO HELL with absolutely NO possibility of receiving His mercy, genuine love, saving grace, or salvation during their lifetime. "MacArthurs God" has hatefully DECREED that billions of precious souls would be denied any "genuine" opportunity to respond to the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Each one of these precious souls are DAMNED TO THE ETERNAL LAKE OF FIRE for the pleasure of the "God"of TULIP CALVINISM. MacArthur spuriously teaches through the false TULIP doctrine of "total inability" (subtly disguised as "depravity" in the CALVINIST religious system) that these precious souls cannot respond positively to the gospel and the Word of God. THIS HAS BEEN DECREED UPON THEM by MacArthurs false God. Devilish teacher MacArthur proclaims that these souls have absolutely no ability to seek the Lord, or to " call upon the name of the Lord (Jesus)" for help , mercy and forgiveness when they hear the gospel of God's unlimited grace MacArthur amazingly teaches that no person can seek Jesus , call upon the name of JESUS, or repent of their si😅ns to God UNTIL THEY ARE "FIRST" BORN AGAIN. To be born again, according to Scripture means to receive new eternal Life, to be saved. To be born again, regenerated, means one has become a child of God, to be a member of God's family, and to be a redeemed member of the Bible Church of God. To have, by faith RECEIVED CHRIST as ones Saviour and Lord. The Bible declares that believing on the Lord Jesus Christ must come "first" BEFORE a sinner is saved. "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shall be saved" (Acts 16:25-34). Notice God's order for His salvation experience. Believe first THEN comes forgiveness and salvation. MACARTHUR, SPROUL, PALMER, WHITE ect. ALL falsely teach that a sinner must be saved "first" WITHOUT FAITH (born again) and THEN believe in Jesus. This is contrary Gods order of salvation and the inspired Word of God. MacArthurs and TULIP CALVINISMS theology is most certainly doctrines of devils. BEWARE of the deadly and poisonous flower of MacArthurs TULIP. This "another gospel" and ALL who teach and believe it, have brought God's curse upon themselves as recorded in Galatians chap 1. You have been warned in love and concern for your souls. TAKE GREAT HEED!

This man is a cunning deciever in the way he sinfully twists the Word of God to suit the spurious theology of TULIP CALVINISM. If MacArthurs God has unjustly and hatefully DECREED that mankind (ie. all sinners ) have absolutely no ability to recognize His truth, no ability to respond to God's Word and the gospel, no ability to respond to Holy Spirit conviction of sin in His world wide specific ministry (John 16:7-11), and absolutely no ability to respond to God's universal imperitive commands, then WHY WOULD GOD COMMAND SINNERS TO: 1. "CHOOSE you this day whom you will serve.. (Josh.24:15) 2. "SEEK ye the Lord, all ye meek of the earth" (Zeph.2:3; Acts 17:22-31) 3. "COME UNTO ME ALL YE that labour and are heavy laden" Matt.11:28. 4. "REPENT and be baptized EVERY ONE OF YOU " Acts 2:38). 5. "BELIEVE on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved " Dear MacArthur worshipers and TULIP CALVINISM worshipers, how can the God of the Bible be holy, honest, and trustworthy, if He commands sinners to do what He has DECREED they are unable to do? That being to respond to His above clear and specific commands? IS CALVINISMS SOVEREIGN GOD NOT BEING SINFULLY DOUBLE MINDED AND EXTREMEY UNJUST IN COMMANDING LOST SINNERS TO DO WHAT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEM??? Is the "God" of TULIP CALVINISM disingenuous??? Does your "God" not mean what He says to unregenerate sinners in 2Chron. 15 verse2 "IF YOU SEEK HIM , He will be found of you." Why would the holy, righteous, and just God of the Bible offer so many conditional promises to MANKIND in the Scriptures if He does not intend that we receive them??? Is the "God" of TULIP CALVINISM full of guile and deception in offering the gospel to all sinners, when He has willfully and hatefully DECREED that the vast majority of mankind go to HELL with absolutely no chance of receiving His saving grace, love, mercy, or forgiveness??? Is the gospel merely a CHARADE??? Be sure to know dear reader, TULIP CALVINISM is "another gospel" and under the currecorded for our learning in Galatians chap. 1. REPENT OF THIS FATALISTIC DEADLY RELIGIOUS SYSTEM. Time is running out, King Jesus is coming. Please make very sure that YOUR FAITH is in the Lord Jesus Christ, and NOT in some spurious extreme religious traditions. TAKE HEED.

Never heard anyone preach like John MacArthur . Love the way he teaches. I thank God that I found him. Don't know who is not a false prophet anymore. I listened to someone that I think is right, and come to find out they're not teaching the true word. Hope I'm on the right path with John.Amen

Thank you brother John for telling us the word of God. I have enjoyed hearing your sermons I look forward to meeting you in heaven someday. Until then may God bless you and your family. And may God bless all of my brothers and sisters amen

Sorry John, a person can lose his or her salvation if a person decides to become alcoholic or homosexuals or Liars or sodomites. They will lose their salvation. The bible is clear about that; if you are saved you must stay saved. Jesus said you must endure to the end.

He's exactly right about empty buckets of pragmatism, self help and philosophy. No wonder I have had so many pitfalls because I walked in the flesh.

Why did he have to bring in his ignorance about evolution into this? I'm trying to give John a chance, but this on top of how he counseled abused women to stay with their husbands? This man has no spirit.

I love the utter honesty infusing this sermon. For the question which consumes the biblical writers from beginning to end, "Why doesn't God intervene to ensure his righteousness and protect his people?: MacArthur answers, "God has abandoned the field! God is in the locker-room actively doing nothing!" Whatever the rationale, the situation is always the same. God never appears to play the game. His human spokesmen never stop cursing their fellow man from the bleachers.

I needed to hear this today. Thank you.

Comments? Are so unworthy as teachers such as you...are for my relationship with God only You lead me as a shepard ( watching their flock day and night) I a researching sheep thank you. For substance that is factual study. I've been cast up...but; God was with me at all times I was told i would not walk again and would loose my left arm and the ability to put thoughts into words.... You should see me now!

Isaiah 45:7 tells us that God created evil. But that is something that he created that we are not to partake in. Just like God created the tree of knowledge of good and evil, which Adam and Eve were told not to eat of it’s fruit.

What an amazing sermon! Thank you Pastor John for this wonderful message! Glory be to God!!

Isa 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

A wonderful sermon that brings in David, who was a redeemed sinner. I want to thank the person who gives us these sermons. It is pure pleasure with no interruption with ads or music breaking in. Thank you.❤❤❤

My wife's close friend and her 6 year old son were brutally attacked by their neighbor with a baseball bat in her own home this week. It's likely her son will not pull through. I was in the kitchen listening to this sermon today when my wife told me the news. How God times certain things is truly remarkable. I pray He uses this evil thing for His own good purposes.

Hearing the truth of the word of God brings assurance of my salvation and His peace

Thank you, brother. For this sermon!

Man, I need a shower to get all that sin off of me.

God says he, God creates evil. Is. 45:7

Great message! He destroyed Calvinism! It will be awesome to be filled with the Holy Spirit and speak in tongues, cast out devils, heal the sick in Jesus name!

Thank you Pastor for such a Holy Spirit truth inspiring message. Blessings to you and those who hear and believe this message from you through Jesus our Lord.

If angels dont pro create what does Gen 6:1 mean? And could sin also be used to God's glory. Not Gods creation (sin) but, like you said, utilized. Could it be for God's glory. Do you mean agels dont pro create with eachother?

Hallelujah

One of the greatest preachers of our time. Too bad they are all dying out and we are left with the comedians, and the health and wealth crooks.

This sermon could have been preached by a non-Calvinist.
