- Some have asked why I interviewed Phil Johnson and not John MacArthur himself. This is why.

I have so delighted in this 15 minute video Justin. It has made my day :) God bless Grace Community Church, John Macarthur and your ministry and work in the Lord!
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. They are just trying to discredit him and tear him down. The only one he has to answer to God. Thank you Justin I appreciate you and your ministry. I finally ordered your DVD 📀 can’t wait to get it.
God Bless You Justin
Oh cool - good deal. Blessings to you, Valerie :)
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?
@@JustinPetersMin my pleasure.. God bless and I hope you’re doing well.
I love John and Justin - you guys teach so clearly and passionately! God bless all of you and all the people involved with your ministries.
They're coming for all of us eventually. I pray that i will be like Jesus when they come for me.
Awesome answer!! Bless you.
Joining you in that prayer and sentiment.
Watching our mentors “walk the talk” is extremely encouraging! Thank you 🙏🏼
You couldn't be nefarious if you I wanted too...you are an honest, honorable, godly, admirable man!
Thank you Justin. Your content is always appreciated, please if possible, keep me in your prayers. For I am struggling against sin.
I’m always impressed by how Pastor John remembers people’s names when he’s doing Q&As. He always repeats it back to them, and usually says it again while he’s answering the congregant’s question. Very personal and rare.
I believe it's a gift from God. For an 80 year old, he has a very clear mind and sounds very youthful!
Sounds like a really good PR trick to me. The odd time this has happened to me I actually squirm.
Agreed! Justin you did a great job. Keep on fighting the good fight!
John MacArthur has been such a blessing to my learning the bible, and I love his study bible

11 Now if perfection was through the Levitical priesthood (for on the basis of it the people received the Law), what further need was there for another priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not be designated according to the order of Aaron? 12 For when the priesthood is changed, of necessity there takes place a change of law also. 13 For the one concerning whom these things are spoken belongs to another tribe, from which no one has officiated at the altar. 14 For it is evident that our Lord [a]was descended from Judah, a tribe with reference to which Moses spoke nothing concerning priests. 15 And this is clearer still, if another priest arises according to the likeness of Melchizedek, 16 who has become such not on the basis of a law of [b]physical requirement, but according to the power of an indestructible life. 17 For it is attested of Him,
“You are a priest forever
According to the order of Melchizedek.”
18 For, on the one hand, there is a setting aside of a former commandment because of its weakness and uselessness 19 (for the Law made nothing perfect), and on the other hand there is a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God. 20 And inasmuch as it was not without an oath 21 (for they indeed became priests without an oath, but He with an oath through the One who said to Him,
“The Lord has sworn
And will not change His mind,
‘You are a priest forever’”);
22 so much the more also Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.
23 [c]The former priests, on the one hand, existed in greater numbers because they were prevented by death from continuing, 24 but Jesus, on the other hand, because He continues forever, holds His priesthood permanently. 25 Therefore He is able also to save [d]forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.

I love watching John's sermons online. I would love to attend his church one day. I just bought his study Bible 2 weeks ago. He has literally changed my views on a lot of things and has made me see my role as Christ's ambassador in a clear way. I love your videos as well Justin. Thanks for your humble shepherding as well.
Awesome to hear! JM ministry has impacted my life greatly as well. His study bible is just so good. He truly is the gold standard of bible teachers of this generation
I recall one person introducing John MacArthur on stage by saying "he's much nicer in person then he is in his sermons." :D
I have enjoyed Dr MacArthur for many years. I have been enjoying you too, Justin. Thank you for your ministry!
Thank you precious Jesus, my Lord my God for these faithful men of yours, who preaches your beautiful gospel in truth.
I am encouraged to learn, to read the word and to share the word by my life, my actions and my speech.
God bless you both
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 RUclips 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
Thank you so much, Jennifer - blessings to you and your family! :)
I echo the same!
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.
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.
@@tomsinclair1264 thank you brother I will
I personally learn sound doctrine listening to Pastor John . God has given him wisdom to teach and preach! I praise and thank God for the Grace HE has given to pastor John Mac. Thank you Justin for your ministry. May our gracious and merciful God bless you and your ministry!!!🙏🙏🙏🙇♀️🙇♀️🙇♀️
Defending yourself is NOT praising yourself. Apostle Paul defended himself against Jews in courts, but he never praised himself.
John MacArthur has continued to be faithful through and through, considering how frail and weak we still are as Christians!
Thank you for keeping the comment section open. This is my fellowship since church closed because of covid. Love you guys.
We love YOU, Michael 🤗
Find a church asap!
@@IbeTali I'm in Quebec. The government find any excuse to shut down churches and in a small town. 2 churches, we work together, but gatherings are starting to slowly come back.
@@Vitalbowhunting that's really hard! It's worth it to gather anyway, like the church did in the past. Hebrews 3 is clear, without the gathering our hearts will be hardened in sin.
I am grateful for the privilege to listen to a pastor who has been preaching for more than half a century so clearly and accurately the word of God on RUclips, an opportunity I may never have had in those days without the light of modern technology.
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.
I visited Grace Community Church and I had the opportunity to meet John. I always remember how humble and gentle he was with me.
The reply posted here is a scam posted by someone impersonating Justin Peters ministry, as others in Christian ministry are being impersonated.
I love John. He and you are among few great beaming lights left in the world.
Amen!🙌
Amen!!
Watching John MacArthur videos and your videos Justin really helped me with my doctrine and the Lord has really used you guys to help open my eyes. Last year I was full blown Pentecostal and by the grace of our Lord, he used you guys to show me the truth in Scripture. You both are true men of God.
Such an awesome testament of a true shepherd. God bless🙏✝️🙏
Thank you, Justin, for being a faithful servant of our Lord 🙂
After three decades in the Charismatic/Prosperity gospel movement, and being very nearly bankrupt under the "ministry" of our "hero" Kenneth Copeland(ouch), my husband and I came to repentance and true salvation (I was re-baptised last year in my reformed church in the UK) all because of the teachings of John McArthur and Justin Peters. I'm so grateful to God for these men, for without their teachings we would still be lost. I've quite a story!
That’s really wonderful. I often think of England and how the state of religion is in Britain. I get sad thinking how much the church is losing members in the US. Many blessings to you and your husband
@@dittohead7044 Thank you, very much for your kind comment. The ordeal was very traumatic. Bless you, and your family too:)
Praise God for saving you and your hubby!! ❤🤗
@@Mary_Kraensel Thank you, and God bless you, Mary.xx
@Karen Huggins I can’t imagine how hard that must have been after so long. Praying God’s grace to you and your husband, lots to unlearn but so much freedom in the true Christ. 🙏 ❤️
I really liked that interview you did with Phil Johnson. It was so amazing of all the questions that got answered. God bless you Justin for the labor you do for Christ's kingdom.
Oh he can never be wrong and is always above any type of criticism
I am also one of many lost who are so blessed to be able to hear the truth through the true servant of Jesus Christ, John MacArthur. I can’t believe how much now I can sit down and love reading the word of God without fantasy of my false desire. God is wonderfully merciful to such a sinner like me. Praise the Lord
Blessings teacher!! My PRAYERS are always with you and your wife....in JESUS CHRIST I pray....teacher I really do enjoy your powerful and faithful words of JESUS CHRIST....
Mr Justin Peters even though I don't know you personally but I feel such love for you and John MacArthur I feel and I see how honest you both are and how much you love the Lord I watch your program every night may God bless you John MacArthur always Forever
Because of Mr.peters i started listening to pastor John and his preaching is one of a kind.
Justin, your timing is perfect. Thanks for posting this short video. 👍👍 I’ve never seen or heard so much negativity on JMac. Thanks again!
Jesus said that his followers would be hated. We shouldn’t be surprised.Believers love the brethren. The others don’t. Simple. JM preaches the truth.
Gosh , I had to stop the video when you started talking about Pride , Justin is not afraid to say we are living in a fallen world and so we all experience pride at one time or another , it’s the truth and we have to admit it , thank you so much for that small section Mr Peters , God bless you.
God bless you Mr Peters. God bless John MacArthur, very thankful for you guys. A blessing from our God to have you guys in our generation.
Much appreciation to both John MacArthur and you for your ministries.
I'm grateful for this video. There was a time in this country, in my lifetime, when one would never have to EXPLAIN why one would go to another person to praise the person being talked about. It used to just be bad taste to praise yourself. Across the board. It's good to have this since so many people have no clue about the least bit of humility, let alone the truckload that Pastor John has.
I came out of a oneness pentecostal church. I came across john and you justin and i listen daily, i appreciate the truth and men like yall for the message of truth. ❤
You were better off Jesus Only.
The Calvinist cult sure circles the wagons around their own.
Hi Tim - praise the Lord He delivered you out of that deception. I'm so honored that the Lord used my teaching to be of some help to you. Blessings to you, Tim! :)
I too came out of that, I only went for a couple months cause a friend invited me but I was not a born-again Christian at the time so I was very open to deception and I adopted all their beliefs and was taught they were the only true church and everyone else was condemned to hell and every non oneness church was satan's church, very cultish. Praise the Lord for saving you and myself from that cult, and I pray that our friends or even family members in that cult will come to truth about the Godhead, salvation, sin and a true knowledge of the Holy Spirit. God bless brother have a wonderful day.
@@JasonLewis544 It is Amazing that everyone says the same thing about them saying if you leave the movement then you are doomed for hell and there is no coming back if you believe anything other than what they teach. I was scared for years, my wife divorced me over it as well, it was a very trying time for me and im still not over her, but that doctrine was destroying me, i could never do enough i always felt lost, people who said they loved me, completely turned on me. Thanks for your response and blessing too you.
Christ is his Defender and he is humble.
Yeah he is pretty humble guy his attitude towards God and others shows it
John MacArthur, as everyone should know, doesn't need to defend himself
@@mynonameyt why do you want to talk to him in the first place?
@@mynonameyt The Scriptures speak for themselves, though. It's clear things like Olsteen's "best life now" properity-gospel nonsense is unbiblical, or that the Roman Catholic Church's catechism on justification is a false Gospel. So let one's criticism of MacArthur be Scripture based, and if it's exegetically sound it will stand.
Certainly no one is 100% right - I'd bet MacArthur would assent to that. But why get into gripe-and-moan EXCHANGES with others - just cite the criticism from a WORD based position, and let it stand or fall that way.
@@mynonameyt how can you compare to them. The sin of those men is not being rich but telling people that God promises people physical blessing rather than spiritual. And the profit form people's suffering. John Macarthur earns his money and I am sure he doesn't watch his brethren suffer.
Well this is a video of John MacArthur saying if you take the mark of the beast you will be forgiven that's not what the Bible says.... I totally agree with Joel olsteen Kenneth Copeland creflo Dollar Joyce Meyers are all false teachers despicable ones but this doctrinal error John said about the mark of the beast isn't just a little tiny error is signing and sealing people's fate eternally here's the link. ruclips.net/video/tXOZnx50d8Q/видео.html
Most heretics wouldn’t defend themselves.
John MacArthur preaches works salvation and heresy with his Mark of the beast comment
After every sin is exposed and we each stand in shame .... we will live forever together THANKS to Jesus Christ Our Savior.
That's not biblically true. Read the scriptures to know and tell the truth.
Not biblically sound. The sheep and goats will be separated. Jesus will look at those not forgiven and say "Depart from me, I never knew you"
God bless you and all you do for Him, Justin! Much love to you and your family.
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.
"Grace To You" Radio program was my Christian education...when they used to have it on regularly on Radio Pulpit in South Africa back in the day.........what a MASSIVE blessing that was to me [ and countless others no doubt ]
When i think of FAITHFULNESS, i think of John Mac......
Thank you so much. After getting saved i had a hard time finding true doctrine and i found you. Then John mcAuthor, phil johnson so thank you for the correct word of God. May God bless you all!
John MacArthur and R.C, Sproul were my gateway to you, Vodie, and Steve Lawson. I've learned so much and grown so much. Add in Pastor Osman, and add to that Pastor Jeff Durbin as well as Dr. James White and I listen raptly and learn. Thank you so Much for what you do, Justin. It has meant much in the growth of my walk.
Please also listen to the sermons of Sinclair Ferguson!
Thank you for the new pastor names.
I appreciate this and hope you've checked out sermons that are done at Kungsvinger Church aka #FightingForTheFaith
God bless.
Thank you Justin🙏🙏❤. Absolutely love your ministry and Johnny Macs... both giants of the word. GOD bless you... we are so blessed to have you both. 🙏🙏🙏❤
Loved to hear the stories from Uganda. I have lived here for 10 years and it is good to know there are still pastors and ministries around here that hold to the doctrines of grace.
I also remember seeing someone in a small village church here reading a John MacArthur study bible.
Thank you for the video. We really appreciate it. We love everyone who’s are called to do God’s work. God bless you and John McArthur.
Justin i also praise and thank God your ministry i attended Snatch Them From Fire in the Philippines, where you exposed False Preachers . It was indeed an amazing conference.😍😍😍
Thank you! You and John are my top 2! GOD BLESS YOU SIR.
If the critics are to be responded to for every minuscule and accusing question they launch, then there would be no time left to respond to what God has purposed through us to do.
Pastor John surprised me with a JohnMacArthur Study Bible free also, after I had written to him expressing how his preaching was such an encouragement to me. His insight into Scripture is truly remarkable, an astounding testimony to our Great God! To God be all the glory!
Thank you very much for your Honest opinion! I enjoy the teaching from Grace to you and John MacArthur. The only thing I need is for them to be faithful to the Word when Teaching! And I believe they are and you are Mr. Peter's! Thank you!
God is so good! Please pray for our church that help 2 missionaries The Martins, starting a church in Mississippi and The Ellingsons waiting to move to Madagascar to train how to preach the gospel. Thank you for your good work in the Lord Mr Peters!
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.
Agree. We should call no man father except our heavenly Father. Jesus said so: Matthew 23:9. We need to watch ourselves, lest we be tempted: Galatians 6:1.
You’re missing the point big time
So, it’s wrong to defend a brother who is falsely accused?
@@jincy5849 well Iam learning the hard way. I had a big argument on line with Steve Bachman about Ravi. I was appalled. I DONOT think Steve was right in getting Christianity Today to publish that story re Ravi. He could have gone to RZIM directors. I still believe it was GODS WORK and so is J.M. doing GODS WORK. 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.
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).
About 20 years ago I was a young believer soon to bePastor who was mixed up theologically w dear lady in the church gave me a box of John MacArthur‘s tights and I started listening to them in my travels with my job the Lord used John to show me the doctrines of Grace and then I was able to find your ministry through the shepherds conference on line I thank the Lord for you and John MacArthur
Love John MacArthur a true bible teacher. Thanks for this video. Very gracious of you Justin God Bless 🙏
A man I would love to meet. And you also Justin 🙏📖🎚❤️ I’m truly blessed to be able to watch and learn from both of your videos and sermons. Thank you for all you do.
thank you justin am from kenya nairobi and i love john macarthur n u also i used to attend a charismatic church bt when i first listened to john message n also ua msg on charismatic false prophets n teachers my eyes were opened i thank THE LORD JESUS through the messages i understood the scriptures in the past i was confused because i believed in miracles and annointing oil and also idolising the false teacher because he could see the future because he told us he communicates with GOD.
In 2016 I was part of a project where 50 pastors in Zimbabwe received a John MacArthur Study Bible. To cut a long story short it the commencement of my ministry in Africa where we supply thousands of sound resources to church leaders to that they have the tools to accurately and confidently teach the Word of God.
I have a John MacArthur daily Bible I ordered it a long time ago. I’m so thankful for you and John.I’m a new Christian and was starting to get caught up watching many false prophets, that you had mentioned.
I’ve watched many of your videos & John MacArthurs too, they have helped me greatly I’ve also started going to a women’s Bible study on Wednesdays thanks for your help and may God bless you &your family
Hello am Martin from Uganda how come I missed you coming to Uganda me and my brother rely follow you and MacArthur and other reformed members like rc Sproul I can't wait to see you when you come back to Uganda
Humanity is full of pride, but I look to John MacAurthur and see a man who does not ride the celebrity train. That makes a serious impression on me. I watch my own brother who is caught up in the word faith movement as a preacher and literally promotes himself like he's the only one with knowledge of God's Word and very pious even toward our family.
Yesterday I turned 43 but three years ago while turning 40 I was a patient in my local hospital and God used Grace to you ministries along with Pastor Voddie Baucham to lead me into salvation at that time. I remember listening to John MacArthur and finally getting a MacArthur study Bible and just how special that felt. Now, every single day after I wake up I listen to Grace to you’s podcast of John’s sermons and I feel “off” on saturdays when I can’t hear one. I’m not idolizing the man but I just love the way he teaches Gods word. When you watch John vs an NAR “teacher” who runs around stage like a chicken with their heads cut off Pastor John’s humble nature comes across to me.
Thanks for doing these Pastor Justin, really appreciative of you!
John MacArthur speaks the truth. I am so grateful to know his teachings
I absolutely LOVE JOHN!
Very well stated. It is truly refreshing to see that type of even, level explanation with examples and the added comment that none of us are without sin. In a world where “tearing each-other down” is commonplace, this is an encouragement. Thank you, Justin.
I ordered my John MacArthur study Bible because of your videos Justin. You and John MacArthur are the reason I know how important reading scripture is. Along with Kent Hovind 😁 Peace be with you all. Thank you. God bless 💗
We appreciate John MacArthur more than we can possibly express. We watch him every day. He has been our main source of sound Biblical teaching until we finally found a good Biblical church. We continue to learn from him. Justin Peters, we also appreciate you very much for all your teaching.
Thank you for your explanation. It never crossed my mind that you should have spoken to Pastor John instead of Phil, but I do appreciate the incite to his humility.
Thanks for that, Justin😘
I'm in Alabama and you both have fruit here.
I'm in Alabama to as well and my part of Alabama is Assembly of God churches everywhere like everywhere there's like 80 or so within 30 miles or less
I think we all could talk about how MacArthur has done good to us in some way.
I cut my spiritual eye teeth on reformed theology from John Macarthur sermons.
Oh most definitely!! I could talk about that very topic for DAAAYS! But, like I told Jesus awhile ago, I still hope HE tells Macarthur when they meet in heaven, bc Jesus is the only one who can sufficiently convey what Pastor Macarthur has done for my academic knowledge & spiritual growth in the Lord.
❤️🤗 🙏 From Spokane.
@Rod Evans
Sir, I wasn't insulting John Macarthur or minimizing his impact on those who've been blessed by the ministry the Lord has given him. Sometimes eloquent, descriptive speach isn't the first thing that comes to my mind.
Please check yourself, unless I'm missing something here.
@@austinpresley6187 I'd like to know more of your experience if you may please? I'd rather it be not here on youtube though...is it ok with you? My emal ad is evabingyt@gmail.com. Please send me a short message and I will email you back. I would appreciate it very much, thank you indeed.
@@evaadams4243
Alright, I'll shoot you an email.
I love John MacArthur. one of my favorite series by him was the master's men. Though John has had so many
They're going after John because he wouldn't shut down
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%
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.
@@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.
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.
@@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.
God bless you brother. And all that you do for the Lord
Mr. Peters, viewers like myself that follow your work, know you. Keep up the good fight & God bless you❣️
Thanks for sharing this about John!
If it is unacceptable in your sight to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you live; but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” Joshua 24:15
I found the church service on “Grace To You “ RUclips channel that you were talking about. On the video it clearly shows the four of you on the front pew. The sermon was awesome!!!
OK. What is the mark of the beast video. Would you mind posting the link so I can see what Justin is talking about? I tried to look it up but so many videos popped up I want to make sure I'm looking at the right one.
ruclips.net/video/Mi53UwZ5br0/видео.html
This is the service where Justin said they were sitting on the front row. They are easily seen when the camera shows the congregation. I don’t know about the mark of the beast video.
Thank you for the link
Mr. Peters, I know John McArthur has been a blessing to many with his preaching but it’s quite troubling listening to you, Polite Leader, this guy Johnson and others consistently defending him and speaking of him as though he’s above reproach. If he consistently calls out false teachers like Copeland and Olsteen and condemns Ravi Z. , he should be big enough to defend himself and give a retraction for statements like this Mark of the Beast controversy . That fact that he always has other people as his “spokesman “ doesn’t say much for his accountability or humility regardless of how humble you continually say he is.
Well said JT.
Defend himself? No. As it’s written: Romans 12:19 Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.”
John MacArthur has much in-depth understanding of scriptures than other pastors. The fact is someone asked him if taking the mark of the Beast would be an unpardonable sin. His answer, in short, was no. Though there is a stern warning against taking the mark of the Beast in Revelation 14, the sin is not categorically said to be unpardonable. (That would contradict Matthew 12:31.)
Yes, Revelation 14:9-11 says, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God....” But the Bible also says, “Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God” (1 Corinthians 6:9-10). In short, all sin carries the threat of eternal doom. But only one very specific sin is ever said to be unforgivable. Any sin that is repented of is forgivable. Immediately after declaring all fornicators, drunkards, and swindlers unfit for heaven, the apostle writes, “Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God” (1 Corinthians 6:11). After saying, “Whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven,” Jesus famously forgave Peter, who denied Him before men. Revelation 19:20 indicates that multitudes will take the mark of the Beast because they are deceived. Scripture does not say that they are thereby automatically hardened forever against repentance. So the taking of the mark is not a final, absolute certainty of damnation that seals and fixes the eternal destination of the person. In fact, if one were to read Revelation 15:2, the idea of victory over the mark of the Beast is clearly implied, And I saw something like a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those who have the victory over the beast, over his image and over his mark and over the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God. Couldn’t that “victory” spoken about be those who may take the mark, repent upon hearing the Gospel. Does this mean that someone who has taken the Mark might yet be converted before it was too late? Yes, but no one should ever take the Mark-- much less, take it with the mental reservation that they will repent of it later-- for "ye know not what shall be on the morrow" (James 4:14). However, if repentance was morally impossible for all who had taken the Mark as in (Rev 16:2....upon the men who had the mark of the beast....) then why report that the hearers "repented not" in the subsequent verses (Rev 16:9, 11), if their repentance would not be accepted?
@@Rubysay233 I see what you are saying but that is not the same thing. Yes sin is sin , but taking the mark of the beast will involve worship of the Antichrist so no one will take it ignorantly. It will be an act of worship and scripture makes it very clear that those who take it have sealed their eternal fate, no turning back. Can’t change what God word says. McArthur is not above God’s word ( though some think he is) and nor is it within his authority to “modify” or give an alternative meaning to what scripture says.

God’s word: Matthew 12:31 “Therefore I say to you, any sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven people, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven.”
Question: Is taking the mark of the Beast during the Great Tribulation an unforgivable sin?
Answer: Yes, it is ( forget about Matthew 12:31), or No, it isn’t, because God said it in Matthew 12:31.
Now tell me who is above God’s words?
Jesus is their to Judge let's keep leaders in our prayer if you think they wrong.
Us tnit interesting ..leader mentiobs all of 6 or so times.. Servant mentioned 100s of times .yet there are 100s of leaders conferences
I never heard of John Macarthur until I stumbled upon him on RUclips at age 55. I eventually was dragnetted into the gospel of Grace and converted.
You don't have to defend a lion, a lion is quite capable of defending himself.
For Sherman Harmon:
John MacArthur as a Lion:
1 Peter 5:8
King James Version
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
@@vietrandy1 Remember, Jesus Himself was known as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. Not all references to lions refer to Satan.
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
You did the right thing Justin . Holy spirit is in you.
God Bless You! John MacArthur is my Pastor through One Place, & GTY.org. I am extremely grateful for you Men that teach the Word of God. I have grown so much. I treasure every word! Keep Standing Strong for Christ! I Love You
BECAUSE YOU PUT YOUR FRIENDSHIP BEFORE WHAT'S RIGHT.
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
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.
@@JeepYotaAdventure that’s awesome!
I think we all know why 'they' are attacking MacArthur.
Why?
@@dianabangerter9920 meager attempt by Satan to discredit one of God’s earthly shepherds.
@@dianabangerter9920 He called out the COVID-19 fraud. It was not a pandemic as 3% of the population did not have it. People were not dying in the streets. And with a 99.98% survival rate, he exposed them by showing everyone it was merely a politically motivated crisis.
@@JeepYotaAdventure spot on
I truly agree!
I'm from South Africa and I own a MacArthur Study Bible
Praise God! I am starting to save for one. Also from South Africa. God Bless your efforts in the Lord brother.
hearing an american talking about our bathrooms is kinda funny. I am not ugandan, but gotta appreciate Justin being not critical of our poverty. Kampala is actually growing up as an emerging city, so it's kinda ok (I doubt Justin was in Kampala but hey...) Thanks for the stories Justin.
Hi Brion - I have had so many memorable trips all over the world. Uganda was one of my favorites. We saw dramatic spiritual fruit everywhere we went. It was very memorable. I loved the people there. blessings to you and your family :)
@@JustinPetersMin amen. God works even in remote places like Africa! Glad you enjoyed your time in UGanga. Glory to Him. Stay blessed brother.
(Re: April) Road to Emmaus - the Lord walked with the disciples, spoke with the disciples and they recognised him not. The closer someone gets to Christ, the more they imitate Him. John 3:30 “He must become greater; I must become less.”
Loved the Phil Johnson interview Brother Justin. Thanks for all you do in getting the truth out there, I've learned a lot from all your videos.
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.
What a kind note, Eric. Thank you so much, brother. Blessings to you and your family :)
John MacArthur is a man of God. I have a great deal of respect for him. His books are awesome too! God bless you brother Peters.
Both you and MacArthur have fruits all over in Asia as well. May God continue to bless your ministries.
