John MacArthur's Millionaire Lifestyle Exposed

- "MacArthur Inc." has been exposed by Julie Roys of The Roys Report. While his hypocrisy has been growing more troubling for many, his millionaire lifestyle was not so known. We knew he was in business, but just how prosperous that business was to him personally still maintained some mystery... until a few days ago. But it's not just MacArthur's 3 luxury homes. It's the corruption in ministry, the nepotism, the cronyism, the kickbacks, the potential illegal transfer of money to key employees like Phil Johnson for home loans. The depth of corruption and impropriety here is off the charts. What will his long-time defenders like Todd Friel and Justin Peters say about this undeniably luxurious lifestyle that is every bit as lavish as those of the health and wealth fame? What about the doxxing retaliation of Phil Johnson?
Justin Peters CANNOT refute this video. He exposed John MacArthur accidentally:

UPDATE: John MacArthur is now sharing the platform with heretics on TBN, and calls the Paula White partner and Catholic sympathizer, Charlie Kirk, "good company": ruclips.net/video/3vRhQ21d1w4/видео.html
Also, Justin Peters, Todd Friel, Phil Johnson and others have covered up wife-beating and child abuse at the hands of their drug addicted friend:

Can I ask then, who is a trust worthy teacher? Is your job dedicated to just exposing (which in fact is good, but your channel just seems so obsessed with it). You make it seem like know church, no community, no group is theologically correct, or biblically sound. The floor I could be walking on could be installed by atheists and satanists, should I quit my job because of that? Haven’t you realized that everywhere we go, there is false teaching and sin? There is sin even in me. So what are we supposed to do with that? I simply just want to follow Christ, love my neighbor and love God, and wield the truth in my heart at all times. I’m annoyed with all this “blah blah blah EXPOSED”. I don’t me to harsh, I truly just want to ask if you what are we supposed to do if every teacher is wrong? Or every church or denomination is wrong?
@@noahjstein hi I'm Johnathan I feel the same way! 😥😫 100% . I study GOD'S word. I'm heart brakes over all of the filthy stuff in the world . And in the church. We must be good watchmen. And guard our heart. Pray for discernment. Pray for wisdom. Pray for guidance from the Holy Spirit. And God's word. Stand on his promises. Rely on him the Creator. And follow Jesus Christ teachings. I love you don't give up.
@@johnathanhinson9763 Appreciate you Johnathan! Thank you for this, I love the part about being good watchmen. My wife and I do our absolute best to discern and lean onto the Holy Spirit for guidance and understanding. We gotten to a point in our journey we take what we can from teachers and discern the rest and stay in the word constantly. The fight for our souls is a hard fight be the strength of God is with us, as it is with you my friend. Love you and God bless you!
@@noahjstein the bible tells us to expose evil deed, so it's none of his buisness if you're "annoyed" by it, maybe it's a sign you should read your bible more, if you did you would've known this and you would have also known to not put your trust in men. Stop relying on other men to give you biblical truth especially when God give us the ability to study His word with the Holy Spirit
@@lo90o Im not putting my trust in men. I'm asking should i ignore all men that try and teach but have sin? who teaches and has no sin? no one. I use discernment with every sermon I hear. What then makes you think im relying on other men for truth? do you know me? all you did was read my sincere comment on the video that asked a question. You don't need to take offence to my question. Again, all im asking is if there is someone who this guy listens too and f he would recommend, because all of his video's are after every preacher. I could make a video, do some digging, and watch every second of this guys vids and find something that is heresy. My point is: this is no perfect teacher... besides Christ himself. Every teacher has sin, and at times, can be ruled by his flesh. Can we genially point fingers all day and just call heresy without addressing the log that is in our own eye? do you see what im saying? Im not saying anything other than all men fall short of the glory of God. Im not going to never listen to John mAC or Paul washer just because they said something that wasn't right one time. Use discernment, be in the word, repeat.
Being wealthy and prosperous is not synonymous to the prosperity gospel. Having said that, I don't believe people in ministry should live lavishly but modestly. If a ministry brings in a lot of money, think about all the poor and widows they could be helping! Not saying he doesn't do that, but could be doing more by living modestly.
Considering where he lives, he is living very modestly. He could have a playboy mansion in Hollywood hills and his own personal jet..
John has been living in the same house for more than 40 years. He owns one car. It is not a Rolls Royce.
Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. ON THE CONTRARY, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, AS ONE SENT FROM GOD. 2 cor 2:17
From the least unto the greatest, ALL are greedy for gain, prophets and priests alike, ALL practice deceit.
Jer 6:13
ALL who preach for hire are ministers of Satan who disguise themselves as ministers of righteousness. The harlot church system has buildings on nearly every corner and is warned of ALL throughout scripture once our eyes are anointed to see. There is ONE GOOD SHEPHERD, Christ IN us. The rest are deceivers. Like Christ said, ALL who come before him are thieves and robbers, but His sheep did not hear them. His sheep don't follow strangers and hirelings. The harlot houses of mystery Babylon are nothing more than fornication houses aka church buildings. We must come out of her and be separate.
If you control the salaries and are getting filthy rich being pastor of your church then there is a problem.
@@DailyArtTherapy Oh boy......🤦🏼♀️
My Dad was a minister. We did not have much most of the time. We did eat well though. It was not because we had plenty of money to buy what we wanted. It was because of the Church members. They were always feeding us. I remember this sweet older farmer who offered my dad a piece of his farm so he could grow food. He also made me well. We lived in rural southeast Ga. I was allergic to everything that grew. Our home was not air conditioned. Looking back, I don't know how we survived that heat. (but we did) My doctor told my parents that I needed air conditioning and the windows needed to stay closed in our home. So, hearing that, the farmer (who I loved dearly) gave us the money to put in central heat and air. Almost immediately, I got well. Everything changed. This man was just one of the members who made sure we were taken care of. We eventually moved to another town in another state, but that church was my favorite. My Dad was one who would receive a raise and tell the church board to give it to workers like the custodians instead. We did serve a fairly big church in Macon Ga, but they ended up telling my Dad to resign. Why? Because he refused to "socialize." That means he would not go to parties where they were drinking in order to gain new members. He stuck to his guns, and I really respect him for that. I will say that the happiest times in my life were when we had little. Struggles tend to bring families closer together. Both of my grandfathers were ministers as well as two of my uncles. There was no escaping it. lol
Thanks for sharing the story.
Amazing thanks for sharing
Beautiful testimony. The testing of our faith produces endurance.
-preachers wife
That’s so beautiful. It’s difficult to know who to trust anymore but I believe your father and his people proved what Christianity truly looks like.
But he also writes books that's a separate income??
John MacArthur spends a lot time condemning others when him himself is committing the same sins, what a hypocrite, modern day pharisee.
Excellent analysis.
May be true but have you seen Hillary Clinton wealth and bejeing Biden?
Amen to that and iam not even a Christian. MacArthur is a big scum bag and a liar. He covered up abuse in his church. He loves power and uses it even though he knows Christ wasn’t real. Sorry I stepped on some toes here but this is freedom of speech
No kidding.
Yep!!! Sadly, 1000% correct
I could never be wealthy. The condition of my heart tells me to give it away as it comes in. Looks like I will never have a mansion, tennis court, pool, Jet, or other lavish things. Thank you Lord. 🙏✝️❤️😊
same. i'm always giving it away lol
let others boast of you, but don't ever let your own lips boast of yourself. Have you never heard that proverb?
"The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed thus: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector"
We Christians measure our wealth, not by how much we get, but by how much we give away.
@@OGDreamer I would hate hate hate to be rich. x
I have supported MacArthur's GTY ministry for over 30 years, in the thousands of dollars. Had I known, what I now know today, the extravgant salaries Pastors are receiving, especially John MacArthur, whom most people trust, I would never have suported him. I want my money back to give to God's people - not for John & family to build up their empire. (what a joke he has pulled off on me).
Madam you should have prayed and checked before giving . But you can learn from your mistake.. Mac Arthur condemns and criticizes everybody but He fails to see his own hypocrisy. I'm from India and you can pray about supporting many workers in field here where we need the most.
@Darin Bartholomew Could you please pray for my families salvation, my name is Laurel. Thank you, and God bless you
LOOK at all the hundreds of mega churches and all in the ministry business who live in gated houses, have body guards, etc. Why do they have to REWRITE GOD'S WORD AND SIGN THEIR NAMES ON THEIR EDITIONS, don't they believe GOD'S WORD?
@@abhirai6124 How about your idols over 5000 I read ?? are powerless idols? how about rat and monkeys god are useles too? are indian people becoming Christians just for money ? Disgusting
@Layla Bartholomew Yes,she meant it for good,however she was deceived,as many are that "ministry"should receive tithes.I wont go into depth on this but we have to seek Gods word on these matters and pray about them.
Blessed is he that considerith the poor, the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.
YES AMEN
When a pastor is dependent upon the congregation for his salary, he becomes a salesman and an ear tickler. When a pastor is financially independent, he is in a position to teach hard truths and rebuke that which is false.
So maybe he should keep his book sale money and not take a salary from the church? Would that be acceptable? The most important question was not answered by this video: what amount is Jmac allowed to keep biblically? What kind of salaries should pastors and ministers get?
@@alstroemeria227again4 in my opinion he should not take any salary from the church if he is rich from his book sales. It is greed pure and simple. A millionaire should not be taking money from the congregants of his church. This is embarrassing from him.
@@GabrielFlies The Bible teaches that "a man is worthy of his hire." It is also true that people take better care of people they have financially invested in. They also can expect more from people they financially support. There is nothing wrong for pastors to have money. Look at King David. He was what we would call filthy rich. What did God say about David? "David is a man after My own heart." Take your complaint up with God. The Bible tells us that God makes the rich and the poor.
@@kittyhawk7060
Finances are almost secondary to their other practices.
When a pastor becomes many times more rich than his average congregation member, he becomes unrelatable as an example.
"Let me run around in shiny suits, live in a million dollar house, own two big others, be a multimillionaire, write a commentary on the Bible and put my name on it in BIG LETTERS"
*- said no apostle of Jesus Christ ever*
Jmac got a hot spot waiting for him...
@@BrotherJohnF money is not a sin though. It's the fact that he hasn't donated it, which is the issue, IF that's even an issue for him
@@bepreparedforwhatscoming4975 He's the kind of men that is too disturbed by the world to trust any donations. People often forget that mansions are great because you can gather everyone you trust into one place, not because they luxuries.
Leonard Ravenhill once said "there's a lot of ministry that's gonna go up in flames on that great and terrible day."
Yeah Servus Christi is one of them!
@@DiscerningSpirits but I can't seem to figure out what Servus Christi has to gain from all this though.
@@kbcinmedusn the sense of being special.. Being the one who finds something on MacArthur.. Ad revenue.. Who knows.. Question should be why is he so hung up on John.
@@DiscerningSpirits he has a lot of other videos connecting MacArthur to Piper to JD Hall to David Platt to Francis Chan to Hillsong and Bethel Church. So I'm guessing he believes he is on to something. However I would just leave John MacArthur himself alone and just keep an eye on his ministry at Grace Community and watch out for whoever succeeds him as head elder there after he is gone.
@@kbcinmedusn If a Christian pastor is ever invited to preach at a mosque and they go, would that make them a fake Christian pastor? Some would go as far and say that pastor supports Muslims or is one... Be careful, this is pharisee territory. Remember they accused Jesus of being a drunk and a glutton because he ate with sinners..
The early Christians wrote a lot about how we should share our wealth with our brothers and sisters so I really look forward to swimming in that pool and playing tennis there.
😂😂😂
R u on the board of gty?
Nice.
Yes!!!! I'll drive.😂
😂 Nice one man.
It's people that just disliked the video without listening. I use to be a faithful supporter and listener to Mr MacArthur but when he said u can take the mark of the beast during the Tribulation period and still be saved, my thoughts on him completely changed. If it wasn't for my Jesus I would still be under his spell. And I loved when u said that the Republicans and Democrats are basically the same, corrupt and greedy for money. I'm so glad I'm under the protection of the LORD.
@David Ruprecht yes but true born of GOD followers of Christ don't practice sin. During the Tribulation period, GOD said if u take the mark or worship the image or the beast, you will drink of the wrath of GOD. The Tribulation is not a period of grace, that period is now but is about to end.
He never ever says that! I just watched his entire series in revelation! That’s a flat out lie!
Praise God…you nailed it…the truth prevails!!!
I was shocked to hear his view on the mark of the beast! Shocking!
@@stephaniemckee4167First of all he didn’t say that and he’s made it clear the church will not suffer the tribulations
His saints will not suffer under the beast.
So pretty much, these John Mcarthur and his team have issues with the way prosperity theology pastors making money but have no problem with the way they make their own money
How much money is too much? Mcarthur wrote many books. Of his own accord and time. On true subjects. He didnt sell false promises of prosperity for giving to the church.. So didnt make money the same way
@@TS-ql2gl By using your platform to write the books is wrong knowing weak Christians will buy them up like their candy since they don't have a close relationship with the Lord themselves. Less than 30% of Christians read their own Bible and 82% only crack it at church listening to a "man" tell them the interpretation. Paul made it clear he wasn't gonna do that when he was saved knowing how duped people can get. The problem is if you're making money this way, you better believe God wants that sown right into his Kingdom. Take your church salary, live modestly, and feed the poor with the rest for goodness sake. My two cents anyway.
The hypocrite John MacArthur and his Calvinist pals Phil Johnson, Todd Friel, and Justin Peters will be severely judged by God Almighty!!!
Pastor MacArthur has a problem with the spreading of the prosperity message, not the state of being prosperous. There is a difference between condemning the PREACHING of the prosperity gospel (which is indeed a damnable heresy that leads many astray) and between the state of being prosperous. The Bible condemns TRUSTING in riches (Mark 10:24), and it condemns the twisting of God's word to make it say something it doesn't (Matthew 4:5-7). Being prosperous (on its own merit) is neither a sign of wickedness nor righteousness any more than being poor is. Pastor MacArthur's prosperity might have something to do with the large amount of books he's authored and published, which include many best sellers. Best selling books have the tendency to afford their authors a decent amount of cash.
@@jlopez47 but wants your family to give ur wealth away
While MacArthur may have done something wrong, I have no idea, making money legally isn't one of them. There is no standard for how much money a Christian is allowed to have.
Yet, John MacArthur has a sordid 10 year history of rebuking numerous people for how much money they have made. Thus John MacArthur can expose and rebuke everyone and their mothers for making millions from their ministry. However, the split second after people detail the abject Hypocrisy of John MacArthur's rich opulent lifestyle, that was created through his flagship ministry that later spawned his multiple streams of income empire. His kool aid drinking gullible shills cry foul, and rush to his defense. This video never implied or suggested that a Christian was limited in the money that they could potentially earn. This video did detail the abject hypocrisy of John MacArthur, and his disregard for tax laws.
@@metronyc1869 not for having but as to how they got the money, there is a difference. You shall not muzzle the ox.
@@emmaaudu3461 MacArthur has a history of muzzling the ox's that have a potential to effect his bottom line.
@@metronyc1869 I don't think MacArthur dislikes other teachers for making money, but for saying that making money is validation of salvation or "doing it right." Which is what the health, wealth and prosperity guys tend to say. Not that I am an authority on the subject or know if John did something wrong or not. I have no idea.
@@investfluent4143 I beg to differ. John MacArthur stated this concerning the Prosperity teachers. "False teachers always do it for the same reason, Filthy lucre, money. That's why liars, frauds, and false teachers are in business". So why does the income and portfolio of John MacArthur look exactly like those who preach a Prosperity gospel? Yes those liars, frauds, and false teachers have accumulated the same wealth as John MacArthur. I wonder if they also used their assets to generate more than 70 million dollars a year in tax free revenue just like John MacArthur? I wonder if they also have been paid more than $12.8 million dollars from ministry and donor funds just like John MacArthur? Maybe this explains why John MacArthur removed his Grace Community Church from the Evangelical Council on Financial Accountability, after the EFCA requested GCC to release it's financial statements. I surmise that 50k interest free loan that MacArthur gave to his lead attack dog and henchman Phil Johnson, which was later written off. May have raised a few eye brows!!!
Did the Apostles give tithes of $'s to the church? NO!! Did they have 1-3 beautiful mansions to live in? NO!! They ALL shared everything they had, and sold their homes, so that their community had what they all needed. They had genuine Christlike love/caring for one another.
Acts 2:43-45 "And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. And all that believed were together, and had all things common; And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need."
Very true! I am disappointed about Christian Leaders living like that.
Have any of you sold all of your things, and divided your prophets amongst the brethren? If not then don’t quote scripture hypocrites!
@@555T22 they believed the Lord was going to return in their life time, not thousands of years later. If that worked, why is it not done all through time till now, oh, I forgot, its called communism now. Also note, they firstly supported other Christians, not nonbelievers.
So, Rose, are you currently living in a cardboard box after "sharing" everything you have after you dedicated over 50 years of your life to expository preaching and also having written over 200 books on the Bible? So quick to judge...maybe you should try to listen and learn from his sermons. This is a brother who would take care of you in your need. Be careful how you judge the brethren
I’ve dealt with McArthurs minions before. It is or borders on idolatry. They will justify anything he says or does. They need to follow Christ. Not JM
Justin Peters once told me that he believes John MacArthur has done more for Christianity than any other single human who has ever lived. That is a near verbatim citation from him. The level of idolatry and hypocrisy is absolutely staggering. I say in truth before God, if they could get away with murder, I sincerely believe they would. Their hearts are full of it already.
@@ServusChristi Yes and he has an opinion which he shares...so what? Who would you say? That would be YOUR opinion.......You need to stop bringing false witness. There is nothing with being wealthy and making money.... Have you ever hear him preach the security in wealth and possessions?
Yup I am shock to see their IQ level and logics behind it. On defending Mcarther either his cronies never really read Bible or they only read Mcarther according to Mcarther. Which is new Bible for them. Well might as they should make new slogan- Father Son and Holy Mcarther. I no longer wonder stupidest excuses they are making out here.
@@enigma4281 that’s the point . He lives the lifestyle that he preaches against. There is a word for that and it starts with an H.
I do follow Christ not a tatted neck freakshow who's "ministry" is attacking others
I'm sure Macarthur found a way to twist the verse Matthew 19:21 "sell your possessions and give to the poor" to mean "buy three mansions with tennis courts and don't be poor" ... oh and you can take the mark of the beast and be fine
FACTS!!
slaphappy18 this made me laugh until I realized how sad it really is.😂😪🙏
I think you're missing why Jesus said sell your possessions and follow him. He was exposing this man's heart. He loved his riches more than he loved God. God chooses to bless some people with wealth. You see this with Job, Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, the entire nation of Israel when they left Egypt. David, Solomon. They were all wealthy and faithful followers of God.
MacArthur is a phony he lives in wealth but yet preaches Jesus is the lord. Jesus told his followers you must take your cross and follow him. Of course iam not a Christian and there is nothing wrong with wealth but how you achieve it.
You cannot be a Jesus freak and serve money the writers of the Bible wrote that.
Maybe we need to do a video on that. Let’s ask John to give up a lot of his money etc to the poor and widows etc and see if he does since this man on the video knows him personally it shouldn’t be a hard video to do.
This is one of the reasons why I don’t trust celebrity pastors, most of whom are very wealthy. Who needs three homes to live in? And what’s with rich people having swimming pools? Is there something about being rich that makes people want to swim? I understand wanting basic levels of comfort, but any excess money should be given to the poor, as Christ would undoubtedly agree.
LOL Joseph. I totally get what you are saying and yes for some reason people with money feel the need to have a swimming pool. LMAO!
It is SoCal, so pools are pretty common. What’s bothersome is the size of his properties. A private tennis court? Millions to his relatives?
Nowhere in scripture does it say it’s ok for a church to be family run. It’s to be run by qualified people. Paul mended tents to pay for his ministry. Today’s churchmen think they are above an apostle.
@@LoneWolfRanging I think most rich people have pools because they are perceived as status symbols. Even if I lived in a tropical climate, I still wouldn’t want a large pool. I’m just not a fan of swimming. I might want a small jacuzzi, but that’s about it.
@@LoneWolfRanging Like a Mafia family. Ugh!
Judas would undoubtedly be in total agreement with your statement (John 12:4-5).
John MacArthur at the intersection of truth, covetousness and hypocrisy. John and Ravi, two sides of the same coin.
I thought ravis problem was that he couldn't keep his hands off his female staffers
@@thos1000 Tip of iceberg. He was an unrepentant ecumenist and serial endorser of false teachers across the entire TBN cast of characters and beyond.
@@branchofthevine779 So the spiritual sin led to physical sin. Sad and unsurprising.
I worked hard 70 hours a week and still didn't get one tenth of what MacArthur got for part time work. How does that work? Must be dishonest bringing in what is impossible for me. God Bless You Joshua.
I'm guilty for buying his books. Guess i should have only stayed with a Bible not sold under anyone's name. I recently purchased King James version, got rid of the new King James version of his.
Bible Believer, Thats awesome that you got rid of his version of the NKJV, I did the same thing also, years ago, and purchased the beloved KJV.
Isn't kjv with someone else's name on it. Who is james? Why is his name on God's Holy Word?
I thinks it’s shameful and blasphemous when these celebrity preachers attach their name to God’s holy word
@@freeinJesus Under King James of England the Bible was translated for the laypeople.
MacArthur didn’t commission a translation for the benefit of a country so his name shouldn’t be on it.
I use to want to be a famous millionaire who could have anything they wanted. Now I'm a child of God and I'll be happy with whatever He gives me.
Surely if God wanted me to have something He'd make a way for me to get it.
It would be great if you had the facts and didn't lie
Okay, what facts did Joshua get wrong?
Yes, have you seen Justin Peters and Phil Johnson’s response to this
Please show me the facts then. Please, honestly, I would love to see it.
Nice deflection 😂😂😂
What happened to denying oneself and taking up one’s cross?! I’m so tired of the blatant greed and hypocrisy amongst so called ‘Christians’! Good thing we have Christ, or we’d all wind up shipwrecked.
God bless you, brother.
And you're exemplary?
@@rachelgarcia4301 Not at all and I’m not a pastor either.
Yep! And ditto. Just deleted Grace App for Second time and now thinking about doing the same for Steven Lawson who I really like. I’m just going to stick to the main source, The Bible, and or You Version Text and Audio. Bunch of false doctrine and hypocritical Crooks!!!
I think there’s a difference in preaching the prosperity gospel and becoming successful from preaching gods word and being a good
businessman.
Right, it isn't a sin to be wealthy it's more of where is your heart? Do you love the money more than God? It's the heart.
@@Imfrommars444 that’s right.
But are we to become rich in preaching God’s word? Are we to make merchandise of the free gift from God?
Whaaaat ???
Tithing is a farce.... We got to church here I've observed that they have five ways for you to give we appreciate your generosity I mean the first half hour after the horrid music Hillsong style, they go on for at least a half hour starting with everything they need in the church and they've been so blessed and then they start with the thank you for your generosity thank you for giving Jesus gave his life so we need to give and then it's there's five ways you can give how bizarre is that and then they go about explaining each of the five ways it's been a lot of time on giving. The Young speaker there is a wannabe Steven furtick it's a clown show. And I hate it when these so-called preachers choreograph the congregation tell him when to stand when to say praise the Lord I want to set when to clap when the holler what I didn't hear you.
What still amazes me is how these men can teach the Word and even judge other ministers,pastors and evangelists while exempting themselves from living a life that is above reproach and that demands their obedience so that they serve as lights pointing to our glorious Savior. I stopped listening to McArthur several years ago because of certain views that in my opinion limit the unfettered magnificence of our Holy God.
Isn't God's magnificence "fettered" to His nature? Which views of Macarthur's are you referring to?
@@dustincampbell4835 I have no idea what you mean.
@@DH-kl5rx you described Macarthur's views as limiting "the unfettered magnificence of our Holy God".
But God's magnificence is not "unfettered" in the that it is bound to His very character/nature as revealed to us in Scripture.
If my views about God's magnificence do not align with who He has revealed Himself to be in Scripture then my views are wrong.
To say that someone is limiting God's magnificence can be true but only if that person has fallen short of what Scripture reveals His magnificence to be. And of course going beyond what Scripture reveals is equally problematic.
I hope that helps you understand what I mean.
@@dustincampbell4835 I understand what you wrote but realistically and accurately God is limitless. His omnipotence is proof of this.
@@DH-kl5rx no one is contesting that God is all powerful and in that sense limitless. However God is also constrained by His nature and there are certain things that Scripture says that He will not and cannot do.
You said that John MacArthur has limited God's magnificence with certain views that he holds. My question to you again is; which views of John Macarthur's are you referring to?
I have wondered about this for a long time. I think David Jeremiah is also in the same boat. These men still HAVE TO preach even though they are passed retirement age. They are white haired, and still preaching because it all runs like a corporation. These head pastors are MONEY MAKERS for the corporation. Their sermons are put into study books, CDs, rewritten into books, etc. and make $$$. They can NOT retire. It will stop the entire corporation income. Who would/could replace them? I realized this about 5 years ago and now I don't listen to them.
SO Pastor john Mac Arthur is 82 years old a workaholic ,written dozens of books, invested his money wisely ! yet he is supposed to live a life of poverty ? you are of your fatheer the devil andthe works of your father you will do ! Acusser of the brethren ! Get thee behind us !
Rosemary Raplar
loved JM for YEARS I hung on his every word looked to him as my spiritual father of sorts. I know now that was wrong In my eyes JM could do no wrong. I wanted to move to CA to where his church was just so he could be my pastor. He was the closest thing to God in my mind. I started really struggling spiritually with my salvation and also with the whole system of Churchianity. I started reading scripture for myself more diligently. Then I began to wonder about all the money as I noticed how poor we were compared to my own pastor and his wife. And how we couldn't afford to have central heat put into our Northern Michigan 1200 sqft home and because of that we wouldn't be able to do the foster care of a child with a view to adoption we had hoped to do as we were, and still are, childless. Meanwhile my own pastor and wife were building on to their house, going on several vacations a year, fostering and then adopting a little girl and then having their own child after that. One day I decided to try and find out how much my dear JM made a year. I didn't even have the complete picture I am getting here but what I was able to discover easily made me feel kind of sick and somewhat disillusioned. For the first time in about 20 years, I stopped turning on Christian Radio to hear JM. I stopped turning on Christian radio at all. I stopped attending our church shortly after. We left and took our tithe with us.

Years ago my Pastor at that time turned down the gift of a new Lincoln Town car because he said it just wouldn't look right for a preacher to drive that type of car.
That is not a problem for God why does Christian people have second best . That is a false humble
@@ThePowerfully I agree.. false humility
Did God say we shall reject a gift maybe God send that car. There is a story a women worked as a cleaner for a rich women that she told the cleaner when I die you are going get s letter .. the women died and the cleaner get the letter she framed it and look at it every day she died of starvation . They found that the paper was a will that entire rich woman's fortune . She died as a rich person of starvation without knowing the will of the God God gave her . This is so most Christians live . That story is true
I know that a person could spend more on a Chevy than perhaps on a Mercedes, but my Pastor was in touch with his flock, that God called him to serve. Was his action wrong? Maybe. Or maybe he had a relationship with the Lord that the modern day Christian just can't fathom.
@@rtdodge3839 I just think we need to be careful about putting the fear of man above the fear of God. Worrying about what one might think about owning a certain car (house, school, or wardrobe, etc,.) is a fear of man and should not dictate our (believers) decisions. I've known pastors who have bought that used/ugly/old car because of that very thought process to then pour their money into fixing it often. But hey, no one judged them and their car. It's a sort of false humility.
Obviously, John's writing of over 200 books, proves that he highly esteems HIS words/thots/opinions, far above, Sola Scriptura, the WORD OF GOD!! Which is quite a window into his soul...HIS exalted pride and arrogance ... of his HUGE ego!!
Yes, MacArthur is obviously prideful and arrogant. And his brand of theology is powerless nonsense , made to keep the church weak. I doubt he believes anything he says. And I wouldnt be surprised if he was a satanist
The love of money is the root of all evil, according to 1 Timothy 6:10..
According to Google MacArthur net worth is $14 million.
Seeing this makes me want to take a serious look at my life and let the Lord reveal the motives of my heart, which in itself is so ”exceedingly wicked” so the love for God and His kingdom, and not money, should consume me.🙏

The internet and churches are filled with billions of ignorant souls who believe that they are Christians. Many are starting their own channels or ministries since they are claiming they are hearing from God or that God has given them a prophetic dream. Some are even on the streets claiming that they were sent by God in order to lead people to Jesus. Most are eagerly speaking or writing their misguided beliefs all over the place and they are constantly trying to prove each other wrong in regards to their understanding of scripture. Well guess what? They are all wrong and they are all simply misguided souls who are being led astray by the devil.
So what is it that over 95% of believers are missing? Well the majority of people who claim to be Christian are nothing more then misguided believers who follow the devil’s lies and suggestions. That’s right, they are following the devil’s lies since they possess very little knowledge in regards to God and scripture.
This world’s definition of a Christian is someone who believes in Christianity and that is incorrect. God’s definition of a Christian is someone who is a true disciple and who lives exactly as Jesus did. A Christian is someone who has overcome sin and sickness in this earthly life since they allowed the Holy Spirit to sanctified their heart in God’s word and truth. If you are a Christian who is sanctified in truth then you can easily discern a true Christian from an unclean believer in seconds since you possess the mind of Christ and you are able to judge everyone and everything. You can no longer sin nor can you ever get sick since you are now born of God and the devil can no longer touch you with sickness or disabilities.
“Then Barnabas departed for Tarsus to seek Saul. And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for a whole year they assembled with the church and taught a great many people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.”
Acts 11:25-26 NKJV
“These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. For “who has known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.”
I Corinthians 2:13-16 NKJV
“We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.”
I John 5:18 NKJV
If you are a Christian then you would know without a doubt that what I am relating is truth since you are someone who went through the same purification process that I most certainly did. You understand how it took many years, endless hours of reading scripture and praying and you endured many trials that required quite a bit of faith, patience and suffering. They are very few of us who are actually Christians and that is why scripture states that only a few travel the narrow and difficult road to life.
“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.”
Matthew 7:13-14 NKJV
So if what I related does not explain you then you definitely are not a Christian. You are what God calls an unclean believer who is of the devil and you still possesses sin and sickness in your life simply because you are completely ignorant in regards to scripture.
“He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.”
I John 3:8 NKJV
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.”
Hosea 4:6 NKJV
This is what you are seeing all over this wicked internet. Unclean believers condemning themselves left and right by writing their delusional and misguided beliefs while trying to prove that they understand scripture better then the next person. These ignorant souls clearly have no idea that they are simply children of the devil who are doing exactly as Satan desires since they do not even realize that every time they willingly speak or write their misguided believes they risk blaspheming the Spirit and leading others into sin. These misguided believers are mostly kids who do not understand the sin that they are committing since most cannot comprehend what these following scriptures are relating to them.
“Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.”
Matthew 12:31-32 NKJV
“Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea. Woe to the world because of offenses! For offenses must come, but woe to that man by whom the offense comes!”
Matthew 18:6-7 NKJV
“A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.””
Matthew 12:35-37 NKJV
If you are not sanctified in truth and you have not overcome sin and sickness then you are a deceived soul who is clueless in regards to scripture and you should not be offering your misguided beliefs to anyone and especially to me since all you will be relating is lies. Plus if you are foolish enough to try and prove my wisdom wrong then all you have done is blaspheme the Spirit of truth and you then condemn yourself in the process. You are condemning yourself since you are willingly speaking or writing your misguided interpretations of scripture and God will never forgive you for this since you are blaspheming His word and truth with your ignorant lies. This is when I will certainly expose you for the sin that you have done just as God instructs me to do.
“No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the LORD.”
Isaiah 54:17 NKJV
In closing, God’s word was never meant to be debated. You are either someone who is sanctified in truth and you truly understand it or you are not and it is that plain and simple. So I know that very very few will accept or believe what I am relating in this message since the majority of believers are no different then those who would not believe Jesus either. I am simply writing this message to try to get through to the few who will listen and who will repent of the sin that they have ignorantly done.
Hardly surprsing, the money changers that Jesus drove out of the temple keep coming back. Just proves that being a professional pastor ( a non biblical role), is a great business, and shows how evangelical/ protestant churches are just as much a part of the Babylon Church as the Catholicism they condemn.
Joseph De Zordi, your comment was impeccably laid out and absolutely biblically accurate. There are so few that see this Babylon church system for what it is. I'm glad to call you my brother.
Except that the Roman church has from the very beginning has been an apostate organization. At least the Protestant church had humble beginnings as home church gatherings. Plus as far as I know it was the Catholic Church that burned people at the stake and murdered millions that would not convert to their demonic theology.
How does the fact that Jesse Duplantis is a false teacher that is growing rich off of the flock...justify what MacArthur is doing?
In scripture Paul warns against aligning ourselves with certain teachers (saying “I am of Paul” or “I am not of Apollos”.) But that is exactly what MacArthur’s people are doing.
And they will do all sorts of verbal calisthenics and butcher scripture as necessary...in order to prove that they’re “right”...and you’re not.
This contrasts in my mind with Jacob’s statement...that people should follow ANY teacher (including himself) ONLY as far as that teacher follows Christ.
My pastor, Jim brown Grace and Truth ministries on utube calls Jesse duplantis, Jesse deplant, says he has the IQ of a plant.
I’m glad your brining awareness to this. Paul wasn’t selling books nor asking for speaking fees.
He did not say not to also.

I saw his net worth two years...wasn't sure what it was based on. Thanks for posting this. I will say in being a Christian for 40 years, there is a cognitive dissonance that happens with some ministers with regard to wealth. Many of their congregants fill the need to bless pastor. I have been in churches where the salaries were over and above due to fondness. Many pastors like these , I believe have no ill intent they simply accept the gifts. But still other that I know like Charles Roesel or Leesburg, FL or Charles Lyons will strongly encourage their congregants to use their money in street outreach or in the development of needs ministry in their local communities AND more this attitude is desperately needed these days especially. I have seen the poverty in Los Angeles area. This is heart breaking, pray that he will be broken. I detect a slight snide attitude by this speaker here btw. I truly hope he desires for repentance for MacArthur. Also, it really doesn't make good sense to hold all three properties anyway. That is a lot of property taxes especially in California.
I don't think it's technically a sin to own three properties. It's between him and God ultimately. Perhaps he gave away 70% of his earnings and God wants him to have the rest. Maybe he lends the two other houses to visiting Pastors. We don't know. In Proverbs it that says a godly man leaves and inheritance to his children's children. So there's a balance to be worked out.
Really, IF they are their brothers keepers, give those gifts to those in their churches, community, who really would need it!
@@Jesus-Said_Repent-or-Perish, God will have the last word. Sacrificial giving is commanded so to compliment him on it seems a little over the top. He’s merely doing what he’s been commanded to do.

Tattoo on the neck is not exactly confidence inspiring . But shining light on the background of high profile preachers is commendable - especially after the ravi zecharias debacle . Being rich is not wrong but getting rich from the ministry of the gospel is . No one is saying that they should live in a cave but is an upper middle class lifestyle not good enough for them ?.

Apostles of Jesus witnessed His resurrection and were sent out by Him. There are no apostles of Jesus Christ that exist today. Not since the first century.

I used to listen to John MacArthur until I heard him say you can take the mark and still he saved. Once I heard that I stopped listening to john. I was sad to know he said that because I thought he was doing so well sharing the gospel. Thank you for getting this out to everyone.

Say you one day take the mark and only realize afterwards that you took it. Say you regret falling into a false security that you see now is a lie. The whole goal of Satan is to deceive! And many will be deceived with the mark. Would u rather God abandon you even if you sincerely repent of your choice? Who's to say you might not be deceived?
What!? Can you please give me a link of where he said that.
@@robbiewr8451 That doesn't make sense because no one will be deceived into taking the mark. They will take it willingly because per scripture, taking the mark means you will have to pledge allegiance and worship the AC. Now explain to me how someone could possibly be deceived into doing that.. not to mention that what you said contradicts scripture. I suggest you read Revelation 14:9-11
@@vanillacreem816 There is only one unforgivable sin, says Christ, which is the blaspheming of the spirit. To know Jesus, to understand Him, and to yet turn from Him anyway, calling him Demon, or living apart from Him is a sin God will not forgive. Now, we know that many will deceive and many will be deceived, even more so in the end day. And truly, anyone who takes the mark is either totally outrightly verbally against God, or is deceived. The Bible is a book of sending a message that by faith alone we are forgiven, by no work, but by grace of God opening our eyes to truth and saving us from sin through Jesus. To say that those with the mark, can't at some point be saved during the tribulation, is even yet limiting God's power and authority, especially for the unrepentant or unbeliever who, only after having received the mark of the beast, sees the truth, acquires faith, and truly believes God. In God, all things are possible. And unless God explicitly tells us that the mark is an unforgivable sin, then we can imagine that hopefully some of those who receive it may yet still have hope of salvation if they repent and believe. The mark, will be a fleshly symbol that will be a mark, certainly, that will cast most into hell for the mark that also signifies their heart. But if the heart of a man changes after a mark on their skin is placed, what's better, salvation for the man who believes at the hour death, or the man who goes to hell forever, never turning from their sin?
I so understand Elayne ! I heard this and could not believe my ears ! So sad indeed !

JM is a Calvinist and a Dispensationalist. I wouldn’t claim him as a “sound teacher”.
Everyone who follows John McArthur, has his John McArthur Bible, and follows John McArthur instead of Jesus Christ.
All I can see here are assumptions. You don't know him. He's a well learned man and extremely hardworking
There is an error in your logic. You call him a well learned man and extremely hardworking. Yet you don't know him and thus are also making assumptions (based on your logic). At the end of the day, you don't have to know a person to call them out when they are in the wrong or even support them when they are right.
A good man does not cover up for a convicted child sexual abuse nor excommunicate an abused wife who refuses to take back the abuser who divorced her. The true heart of Jesus would not laugh off a little girl’s question and tell her that her puppy will not go to heaven.
@@rhayvenj how is OP's logic flawed but your logic not?
You don't have to know someone to understand that they are well-educated. You could just hear them speak/teach and/or read books they've authored.
And someone's lifestyle that's been public for over half a century and the testimony of others can validate claims of work ethic.
But when speaking of actions of right and wrong;
Were you there when the wrong was committed? Do you have tangible/visual evidence that you can provide? Was there a verdict reached in a court of law?
As for supporting someone who you believe is right the same logic holds true; there needs to be firsthand evidence or trustworthy testimony.
In either example some knowledge of the individual needs to be present otherwise you're just making an uneducated assumption.
@@ChaplainDeanna whatever the full story is there, it's not that John Macarthur was knowingly and intentionally placing a woman and child in danger.

Wow…this is way over my head! I understand that preachers, pastors, etc., need money to run the church, as my son was a youth pastor and explained what goes into the costs needed. But…and I mean but…when you look at the Jesus, who is God incarnate and owns the entire universe, said…He had no place to lay His head! And Paul, who previously was a Pharisee, who had good money or income…gave up everything to preach the gospel, and had to beg the Corinthians for money to support his ministry. And in the book of Acts , the whole point of the Christians was basically…communal..meaning help each other out, so no one was in need. Rich helped out poor and poor helped out each other and so on. The purposes of the preacher, teacher, or whatever title you want to have…was to support them because they had to survive, period. Their main purpose was to help and preach, teach the gospel, period. Money wasn’t their purpose. Their purpose was to store up treasure in Heaven, not on earth. What’s funny is John, and so many others are actually using the God inspired writings of the disciples…and both John and all the other rich preachers are receiving the royalties from God’s written Word! Even it they write a 1,000 books…great, Praise God…but give back 60% to the church people and their needs as God instructed! The Word is freely received, freely given…! When I see this, I can’t fathom how they go to sleep at night! I would be ashamed to live like this, when every Sunday I preach God’s Word to the people, get the collection, then live extravagantly, fully knowing that the people I am preaching to…may need a refrigerator, or a car repair, or lost their job, etc. Then I go home to my 3 well landscaped hypocrisy!!!! John, you are not on my favorite list….yes you have a gift (given to you from The Lord) so that was free, and you preach well, also a gift from The Lord…but I am not nor ever will be a Calvinist!!! YOUR MESSAGE IS NOT GOOD NEWS…IT SHOULD BE CALLED BAD NEWS!!! When we both leave this world…then we will know who understands the True Gospel of Grace, in Jesus alone, not by works, lest any man should boast. I am a worse sinner then you…and I repent every day.

He has a daily Radio Broadcast. He preaches about 3 times a week if not more. He has a Seminary Shool where you learn more about the love of our God in Christ our Lord in the Spirit of truth in genuine love.

This literally makes me sick.. My great Uncle Barney was a Methodist evangelist... A wonderful preacher, and genuine man of God... Always lived a humble life...
Like you all know. The Bible says that the LOVE of money is the root of all evil. Key word is LOVE. So I don’t see the problem with John MacArthur having prosperity in his life. King Salomon was the richest man in the world and it’s because God blessed him with so much. And if God wants to bless John I just don’t see the problem with that.
When John criticizes the prosperity gospel teachers is because that’s all they teach.
Was thinking the same thing. Not to mention the man, Job. He was the richest man in all the land with massive property and massive livestock. Known for being a devout believer. God loved him and when he allowed him to be tested and basically lost everything… God restored everything he had and even more! God looks at the heart. Always has and always will.

I would hate to be tempted with that kind of cash because I can see how easy it would be to get consumed by it. The New Testament warns us about money and excess, continually. Sin thrives in excess. John said, "Anyone who has two shirts should share with the one who has none, and anyone who has food should do the same." Even worldly people find rich pastors offensive. Speaking of all rich shepherds, I, a believer, find it appalling. Unless the sheep are all well and fed, the shepherd has no right to get fat on the pennies of followers. ALL teachers will be held to account and anyone caught lacking will be held to account. Thus why the Bible WARNS about these things. Do not take them lightly or defend the ravaging of the flock. Judus never preached a false gospel!---but his heart was evil before the Lord.
A Taylor. How do you know what Judus preached, it is never recorded what he preached.
Exactly why Jesus preached about $$$ the most.
Money is actually the worst curse God can give to anyone.
Almost impossible to make it to heaven if you are rich.

Friendly reminder that Warren Buffett one of the wealthiest men in the world, not a Christian, lives in the same house he has owned since the 1950s, estimated in todays dollars at $270,000.
Ouch.... Leave it to Rick Warren the heretic and Warren Buffet the heathen to outshine John MacArthur in financial matters.
@@ServusChristi
You seem to forget that Buffet came from very humble beginnings. He persisted on to invest what would be at that time infinitesimally meager earnings and continued in that process to become one of the richest men in the world. He didn't do it through tithes, he did it with his own means. With that, he has the right to have as much as he damn well pleases and do with it what he wants, whether he chooses to give most or all of it away or to keep the same. I don't know enough about McArthur to say anything about the man but there are ministers who do not rely on gifts or tithes to sustain them. Dr. Frederick K.C. Price(a word of faith minister) is one of them as he owns property in parts of the Los Angeles area and has for many years. He's stated as much and has never solicited funds for himself from his congregation or anyone listening by media. There probably are a number of others who do sustain themselves independently, and should in my opinion, to alleviate the criticism. BTW, people aren't giving preachers money at gunpoint. But it seems no one complains about the salaries of politicians who often become millionaires on the backs of taxpayers. Most of them are the reason America's in financial trouble at this point. Nobody is forced to participate in any religion whatsoever and therefore, live their lives apart from it. But God forbid people choose to go to the polls to hold aloof, haughty greedy leaders accountable.
I don’t know his stance on religion, but his son has done a lot of work helping third world countries learn to farm and providing fresh water.
So because John MacArthur lives in the same house for 40 years and his property is valued higher than Warren Buffet’s, he should sell up, give everything to the poor and buy a cheap house? I’m not sure of your point but I don’t see the relevance to compare.

I agree that no minister has need to live so extravagantly, if in fact, that is John MacArthur’s estate. I also agree that no man should have a large tattoo pasted on the side of their neck. Well, to each his own. I will say this: Pastor MacArthur has written many books that have been bestsellers. Being a successful author is quite lucrative I’m told. Still, I personally believe a lifestyle of humility has a better testimony. I’m not going to condemn him though. That’s between him and the Lord, and his parishioners.
MacArthur has indeed written many books, which have sold well. So surely he could live comfortably on the royalties from those books, rather than claiming 6 figure salaries from his ministry for part-time work?

I have to agree. I never believed in “Millionaire Pastors”. Tell me where in the Bible has it shown that Pastors of any kind very wealthy. If you have a secular job that makes you money, that’s one thing as long it is legal, morally ethical... BUT when your wealth comes from the backs of your parishioners, that is wrong. By the way 1 Timothy 5:18 does not justify millionaire pastors.
Proverbs 13:22 A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children, and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.
Tell me where in Scripture that it says a pastor is not to earn a living. Paul says in 1Timothy the pastors should be paid appropriately nor does it say that pastors cannot be wealthy. Money is NOT the root of all evil, only the love of money. My guess is Justin is just covetous. I’m done with him as he lies about G-d’s word.
