I'm 67 yo man who believed since 1977. It blesses my heart to see a young man making such good videos out of love for God. Very good message for a tough topic 👍
You are very old and soon you will die but go outside and plead with people about Jesus. Don’t think about yourself preach Christ, for they are CONDEMNED
So God make his Son suffered to forgive people's sins? So that means God of Christian is unjust because they put burden on innocent man and contradict the Bible Ezekike 18:20 The one who sins is the one who will die. The child will not share the guilt of the parent, nor will the parent share the guilt of the child. The righteousness of the righteous will be credited to them, and the wickedness of the wicked will be charged against them." See this show Christian doctrine is false,why in islam you can asked God For forgiveness directly without the need the blood of others.
@@afnanhype624 I'd be happy to have the conversation with you, if you're willing to. I pray you read this with an open heart. There are a few things that islam cannot answer and doesn't account for. First, based on whose merit are you asking for forgiveness? Yours? No human deeds can ever make you deserving of forgiveness. If the god of islam can forgive mankind completely in their fallen nature then allow them to live in his abode when they die without a spotless sacrifice that can atone for sin and last for eternity, then that is an inferior god who is not just or righteous. It's only through a perfect sacrifice (in our place) and through a sinless Mediator that man can be saved from the latter judgment. The God of Yisrael promised this Messiah/ Anointed One in *Genesis,* the first book of the Old Testament. Thus, the sacrifice of *the Lord Yeshua* (Who is not only the *Son* but the *Word of Yah* as well. He is *Yahweh*- which is the Holy Name of the God of Yisrael. Yeshua claimed it saying, "before Abraham was, I AM" _ see John 8:58). - Note that Him dying for us isn't a free pass to sin; rather, by believing in Him as Saviour, it enables us to better follow His law in obedience to the Spirit and be in a *personal relationship* with the *Father,* which is what islam cannot offer. *(This is also what shows that islam and Messianic faith/Christianity do not have the same God)* Second, who/what is your (final & perfect) atonement in islam? We as mankind are sinful and so the Lord has to judge that sin. But if His righteous judgment rained on us, we'd be in Sheol right now (in total separation from Him because no man can stand before Him on the basis of their own good works). Elohim hates sin. Are you familiar with the blood sacrifices of animals in the Old Testament? Well, those were temporary; they couldn't last for all time as a testament before the Father. A timeless One was needed, not only for the Israelites/Jews but for all mankind. Atonement is made by blood because the life is in the blood (Leviticus 17:11). So Who came in the flesh to be our Substitute to take on the wrath of the Father? Yeshua haMashiach (the Anointed Saviour), Who laid down His life- not because He was threatened, defeated or forced- but of His own will out of agape (all-encompassing love, the purest form). By doing so, He rose again and conquered death. This is the manifestation of the love of Elohim (God)- that He would be so merciful as to offer us the gift of redemption & salvation so we don't have to be separate from Him when we pass on to eternity. Yes, the walk here on earth isn't easy and we have to keep our eyes on Him in faith. But He's able to uphold us and if we come to the Father in humility, He gives us the peace of Yeshua to guard our hearts & minds. Therefore, we won't be following the law out of obligation or because we're being forced or we fear death/evil but because we love Him and know Him. We come to the Father in the Name of Yeshua; we have a relationship with Him, being saved *by grace through faith* alone, not of ourselves/ by our deeds. That is how beautiful, righteous and loving the heart of *Yahweh* is. No one else compares. He's our Example. That's why I'm sharing about the love of Messiah. The Lord said if we seek Him with our whole heart, we'd find Him. It's by His grace & mercy that He reveals Himself. Have a good day/night

@@afnanhype624 But Islam condones and encourages suicide bombers for 10,000 virgins in heaven? Killing many innocent for the purpose of sanctifying one person? JESUS CHRIST was born of a human woman that was a virgin, the HOLY SPIRIT (GOD) put HIS spirit in her. JESUS CHRIST was only part man, the woman part, the rest was GOD himself in the FLESH walking the earth. GOD has no "Guilt" and neither did Mary so you can say that about the son and the father in this case. JESUS CHRIST was the sacrificial "LAMB" of GOD to stop the daily killing of sheep for GOD's forgiveness. When JESUS CHRIST was hanging on the cross and cried " Father why hast thou forsaken me?" HE was completely human at that moment, GOD's spirit had to leave HIM so HE could take on the sins of the world (yours and mine)and die for us to receive Eternity in heaven. HE did that of HIS own accord to be obedient to HIS FATHER. Allah and our GOD are not the same entity, JESUS CHRIST was not just a prophet. Muslims believe in Mohammad (the false prophet) who led a rebellion against the Jews between 570 and 632 AD. Muslims also are decendants of Ishmael not Isaac. GOD did bless the decendants of Ishmael with many princes that the middle east has had including the ones in Saudi Arabia today but the Bible says "they will be like wild asses and die by the sword." In the Muslim religion are many groups of angered, evil terrorists that want to kill the rest of the world. Why is that? JESUS CHRIST is the ONLY way to the Father!
Its refreshing to see such a young brother glorify God. Blessings The only regret a Christian has is not to have come to "The Word" and the "Way" sooner
It's not worth regret if you accept that all things happen according to God's will and timeline, not ours. Think of the people with whom you can identify with because of your testimony.
Being a Christian, i was a lukewarm, but i got cancer and went through a lot of pain and misery. i came to be more closer to God, and in all that i see better the light that God has made for me. Praises him Praises him.🙏🙏
As the saying goes: "There are no atheists in foxholes." You were desperate, you would, of course, cling to anything to save your ass. You found a crutch and now you think you were saved because of it. Why would an all-merciful "god" allow his "children" to SUFFER AT ALL. It's ALL BULLSHIT. We here on earth are merely some alien mastermind's idea of an experiment. An experiment gone wrong, like a dying ant farm!
I can testify to this. I’ve recently been through multiple losses and serious heartbreak and glory to God - those who seek Him WILL find him. Psalm 9:10 “those who know your name trust in you, for you Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you” God is sovereign and good.
@@MareckPetit not if you truly seek Him. ‘If you seek Me, you will find Me, if you seek Me with your whole heart. Please read John chapter 3, prayerfully, confess, and turn from your sin . He has made The way. ”HE IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE’.
I ATTENDED HIS CHURCH, PAID $ TAPE OF THE MONTH CLUB.... IT TOOK EVERYTHING I HAD NOT TO TOSS TAPES AT HIS FEET!... HE GAVE A MESSAGE THAT DAY, kkkops were at the height of killing us [blacks] eric garner selling cigs, freddie gray fled dirty kkkops on bike, u see video, he can't stand, by the time they reach precinct? spine severed/windpipe crushed... [no crime, drugs, violation... black man killed j-walking, another jus walking home, both jean killed sitting ON HIS SOFA! ALL UNARMED!---WE GOTTA SUPPORT THE KKKOPS he said---we watched thump clear out area, PEACEFUL DEMONSTRATION TO TAKE PIC ... WE SAW WHITES DESTROY CAPITOL, NO ARREST? TO B TOLD---GO HOME, U SPECIAL, WE LOVE U... GIVE ME A BREAK
Im a triplet and we all have M.S and recently diagnosed with bpd. I suffer from alot of panic attacks. Yet each time it gets bad i instantly think of holding Gods hand and everything is immediately better. I dont care if im called delusional or crazy. My love just gets stronger for him. Believing that this universe is an accident sounds way more delusional and just sad
I never thought of pain and evil in that way. Emotional trauma is covering the truth sometimes, but, if you seek Him with all your heart, you will find Him❤❤
Some contemporary churches are billed as “seeker-friendly,” but the Bible says that “no one seeks God.” Psalm 14:2-3 pictures God searching in vain for even one heart that seeks Him: “The Lord looks down from heaven on all mankind to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God. All have turned away, all have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.” This passage is quoted in Romans 3:10-12, which says, “As it is written: ‘There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God.’” So, if no one seeks God, who are the “seekers” that some churches strategize to attract? Plus, how are people saved if no one is seeking God? First, we must understand human nature. Because of Adam’s disobedience in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:11), sin entered the world and became part of human existence. Because Adam is the common ancestor of every human being, we all inherit that sin nature. We are born with a natural desire for rebellion, self-interest, and disobedience. In Romans 7:18, Paul says, “For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.” In ourselves, we cannot seek after God, for the simple reason that seeking God is a good and holy thing. Sinful flesh is incapable of good and holy things (Isaiah 64:6). Jesus said, “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them” (John 6:44). In other words, the only way we can seek God is if the Holy Spirit has first stirred our hearts with a desire for God. It is God who draws us to Himself. Ephesians 2:8 underscores this truth: “By grace are you saved, through faith, and that not of yourselves. It is the gift of God
this one is so good , john is exactly right because sin is the wages of death, the drugs i used to do were killing me and he didnt want me to suffer but he was there when i was ready to let that stuff go, and how much more do i feel free because i suffered for years, he has forgiving me for much, my freedom feels like so much more with all that ive been threw, he is so amazing, praise God forevermore
Thank you for being a faithful witness to the younger generation (and to us older ones also)! Very encouraging!! You are much needed in this world today..
God created us, not war, as some fools think who knows nothing. God created us and gave us the brain/tools to create have a beautiful world, Humanity failed and created war, not God.
@@RachelEngelmeyer Still Gods fault though. He created us the way that we are, therefore anything we do is his fault. The Captain is ultimately responsible for the actions of his crew. If there is a God, this all just feels like some messed up science experiment. And we are the rats in the maze.
Just wanted to say God bless you. Its so refreshing to see a youthful young man devoted to God and sharing that devotion. Pray to see more youths doing likewise
Very good, and I love that sermon from my most favorite minister John MacArthur. I think another reason for evil, is that we really wouldn't know what goodness is, if we never saw evil. We would never know what thankfulness is if we never suffered. We would know nothing about forgiveness, and compassion, and we wouldn't have as much love for God, or a close relationship with Him, if He never saved us, or defeated evil. Evil show's us just how awesome, pure and holy, God is.
You are right, but only if you don't believe God meticulously determines everything. If God meticulously determines everything than evil and natural disasters are pointless. MacArthur preaches very good sermons but he wrongfully believes God meticulously determines everything.
Determinism does away with love , with true accountability, and with basic justice 101 . Saying to the praise of His glory does not make something diabolical good . In His sovereignty, He has created us with free will and capable of real actual Choice that's a much bigger God to the praise of His glory said with sincerity ✌️
@@larrycraig3295 Evil and suffering is what causes us to turn to God, and to love God. That wouldn't mean Evil is good. Giving us free will is what allows evil. So, aren't you contradicting yourself? We are all accountable for our sins, it's why we repent on a daily basis. I'm not sure why you think anything would do away with that. We have a strong desire to repent of our sins because we have the holy spirit in us. If he is truly in us, then nothing can take that desire away.
Young man, continue doing what you're doing - sharing clips that are useful for righteous living and sharing your thoughts. God bless you Jaiden ! Will pray that your vlogs reach many young people.
I have to say I really like your style. You have a maturity beyond your age. I like your videos because you don't feel the need to interrupt a sermon clip to inject your own commentary. While you do offer your points in summary at the end, I like that you let the speaker make the point you are trying to get across without interruption. I've seen so many videos where the channel feels the need to interrupt the clip to make some obvious point like their commentary is essential. To me, they are unwatchable. I like your honesty, respect and humility for those you are quoting. Keep up the good work and may God continually bless you..
This is good feedback, thank you. It's often times they want to remain fair use by speaking often, but I think it sacrifices the viewer experience to thoughtfully think about a clip and can just end up as the commentator just summarizing each minute and I agree with you. I appreciate this.
“I was an atheist 12 months ago” I just started watching your videos about a week ago, but have only seen a few. I honestly never would have guessed that you were an atheist, the way you talk about the Lord and how well you break things down and simplify them, making things easier for people like myself to understand. I’m glad you came to know God, brother. And I’m thankful to God for putting your channel in my life. Have a blessed life, brother. And thank you for the videos 🙂
You are a shining light for the young in today's world. Satan has blinded this world to evil especially the youth and its inspiring to listen to your views as a new Christian. Keep growing in the word and through you God will reach many. I admire your fearlessness. God Bless you
I have watched many explanations on this subject and I must say this explanation was by far the best; particularly in the sense that God is not hiding from the fact that he allows it and sometimes he takes responsibility for it because he sends it. Also, it fascinates me to see someone as young as you reaching out to bring people closer to God. May He bless your efforts.
It’s a breath of fresh air to see young men having such a deep understanding and seeking Gods face! God Bless this young man and his family and friends!
Great message from John. I listen to him but never heard this explanation. Thank you. I’m going to get this down in my spirit. Great great answer. Good job
Hey brother! You have been an encouragement. I am so glad you’re grounded in your faith and getting truth from the likes of John MacArthur. I would love to hear your testimony one day. James 5:16 😊
Thank you for this video. I love it when you said God uses these evils to build positive attributes in us and to sanctify and shape us to present us in the best form we can be when we ultimately go to Heaven. Love your videos, they always make me ponder.
God created the heavens and the earth...all of it. For His glory. He is separate from it all. Enthroned in glory, bestowing grace, mercy and loving kindness where He pleases. In righteousness, permitting evil to reign to ends only understood in His infinite wisdom. His ways are not our ways, we cannot contend with the almighty God. We are blessed to glorify and bless His name. He is enthroned on the praises of all creation! Every knee will bow to the King of Kings, Lord of Lord's.
@@spacemoose4726the word evil can mean bad things or destruction, etc which are not always evil in the way we see and do evil. Sin is humans rebelling against God’s will, so this is evil. God cannot sin by definition but humans can suffer from His judgements/will. Jesus looked to the future eternal glory. We don’t always have that perspective on what’s happening.
@@timias6040 Why can't we take God's word as it is written? Why do we need to do mental gymnastics to make it comfortable to us? If the bible is God's word, he explicitly says he created evil. God created humans. God created Satan. God created hell. God created temptation. God's will creates the ability of sin. You can try and sugar coat it all you want, but according to Christian logic, God is responsible for the creation of evil and sin.
He teaches most doctrines correctly. No one has complete understanding. I agree with John 90%. I do not have complete understanding either, but John MacArthur is the finest expositor of the New Testament on planet Earth.
Your deceiving yourself because you like him . He is teaching just about all the basic doctrines wrong soul sleep , grace , eternal security on and on . @@davidgibson1386
Nonsense , he teaches just about all doctrines wrong . There is no one teaching Gods word truthfully on TV , radio , internet we are in a famine right now of God's word See Amos 8 : 11 Niv bible

For someone who was an atheist 12 months ago, God has given you extraordinary wisdom and understanding. I pray that you will continue growing in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
First of all, God has the right to do what he wants. He created you, you did not create him. Second of all, God did not create the problems we have satand talked us into it. People like Rogan fall in to his deep sleep. God help him and others that keep on the path of evil and do not look toward the LIGHT.
Well today, we live in the NT, in the days of grace. So stop blaming God for the bad going on in the world. "For the devil comes to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came to give abundant life." (John 10:10)
@PinkieJoJo while they do, we live under a new covenant now. Isaiah 61 tells us what Jesus came to do. "What has light in common with darkness? How can God and satan ever agree? Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness." (Bible) So if people do evil the bad that happens is their fault not God's. If people have no free will they are mere robots and are unaccountable for anything and then Christ would've died for nothing. If God is to blame for everything that happens then again, nobody's accountable for anything and Christ died for nothing. Sin is not harmless, it destroys. All sin remains with the sinner. From cover to cover God tells people to live righteously. God's not to blame when they don't.
Is45:7 God says he creates good and evil, he creates everything. Actually evil exists for man to be free to choose among evil and the good that dwells in the Lord…and that Jesus granted us, paying with his own life, for us to enjoy.
Isaiah 45:7 says that God created evil so I don't know where he got that from that he said that God did not create evil but I have to admit for the most part he is pretty good teacher
Even before I was saved I knew there was something about this evil thing. I lived with my mom and Uncle for a bit and my uncle had done many years in prison for evil stuff and I in my carnal mind believed that he was worthy of some sort of punishment on Earth. But God was showing me up right up until I found Jesus that I was not better than him as my own name would not permit me into heaven. Anyone can be forgiven & provided mercy even me as I was on the same level as him in God's eyes because I had committed sin. So God is the Good One Regardless, & All Humans are the tainted, Not just a certain flock. But God will lead you to him like me if you actually seek righteousness Matthew 5:6✨.
This is like a person telling a quadriplegic that their lucky because God made them a quadriplegic to really build their character, and it's actually worse to be healthy because they have a harder time finding ways to build their character. Religion really can make, otherwise good people, do and say some really awful things.
@kaisu953 I used to also judge my neighbor for the evil done to me. When I realized I'm not better than him. We have ALL sinned against a Holy God. How dare I feel so self righteous as if I'm better. We are not, Jesus gave His life for ALL. ALL have fallen short, we are no better than the next person. Gods grace extends to everyone.

Thank you for putting someone (JMac) on the screen who can more accurately and comprehensively answer the question! Also a HUGE thank you for putting him main screen! SO many channel hosts doing this type of video work want to stay main screen while their borrowed "main attraction" is down in the corner! This is expecially important when the answers are of eternal importance! These questions need to be answered and there are few better at answering them than Dr MacArthur. I also commend you for not shying away from a serious question on your channel.
Thank you what a wise young man you are it gives me great when I hear of young men who have been saved and are now preaching the word of God in what is a very challenging time God bless you and your ministry
The Power of prayer is beyond wonderful. I’ve many heart problems, plus 2 neck fusions and 4 back surgeries. The Power of The Blood of Jesus Christ strengthens me, and at time emboldens me. God is so great, awesome and lovely.
Young man, you're doing excellent work! I have loved MacArthur sermons probably before you were born. 😅 But I never saw this sermon. Just love the richness in this answer.❤
I’m proud that a young man like yourself is expressing himself about God the way you are, I hope God continues giving you knowledge so that you will be able to share it
wow Jaiden! the Lord has blessed you with wisdom far beyond your years! Thank you Jesus! You have shown me a way to have faith again in your generation!
I had a near death experience at age 22. I met my Creator Savior GOD "face to face", so to speak. It was the most intense, most wonderful and most significant experience of my 60 years on Planet Earth. I was a believer before my NDE, and after my NDE, my experience with GOD exploded like a thermonuclear explosion (in a good way)!!! Keep up the good work, Jaiden! 😇
I find myself stumbling across these videos of John McArthur and other Calvinists trying to answer these questions without saying WE are the ones who create evil. God by Grace has given us free will. God doesn’t will evil, He allows it as a consequence for our actions. Just as He does Blessing for the consequence of our obedience
I'm 67 yo man who believed since 1977. It blesses my heart to see a young man making such good videos out of love for God. Very good message for a tough topic 👍
Just replied in the same vein.
God bless you my brother and keep on keeping on getting closer to our Lord 😊
You are very old and soon you will die but go outside and plead with people about Jesus. Don’t think about yourself preach Christ, for they are CONDEMNED
Where was God when I suffered? He was at the same place that He was when His only Son suffered & died for our sins. God bless you!❤
So God make his Son suffered to forgive people's sins? So that means God of Christian is unjust because they put burden on innocent man and contradict the Bible Ezekike 18:20 The one who sins is the one who will die. The child will not share the guilt of the parent, nor will the parent share the guilt of the child. The righteousness of the righteous will be credited to them, and the wickedness of the wicked will be charged against them."
See this show Christian doctrine is false,why in islam you can asked God For forgiveness directly without the need the blood of others.
@@afnanhype624 I'd be happy to have the conversation with you, if you're willing to. I pray you read this with an open heart. There are a few things that islam cannot answer and doesn't account for.
First, based on whose merit are you asking for forgiveness? Yours? No human deeds can ever make you deserving of forgiveness. If the god of islam can forgive mankind completely in their fallen nature then allow them to live in his abode when they die without a spotless sacrifice that can atone for sin and last for eternity, then that is an inferior god who is not just or righteous. It's only through a perfect sacrifice (in our place) and through a sinless Mediator that man can be saved from the latter judgment. The God of Yisrael promised this Messiah/ Anointed One in *Genesis,* the first book of the Old Testament. Thus, the sacrifice of *the Lord Yeshua* (Who is not only the *Son* but the *Word of Yah* as well. He is *Yahweh*- which is the Holy Name of the God of Yisrael. Yeshua claimed it saying, "before Abraham was, I AM" _ see John 8:58). - Note that Him dying for us isn't a free pass to sin; rather, by believing in Him as Saviour, it enables us to better follow His law in obedience to the Spirit and be in a *personal relationship* with the *Father,* which is what islam cannot offer. *(This is also what shows that islam and Messianic faith/Christianity do not have the same God)*
Second, who/what is your (final & perfect) atonement in islam? We as mankind are sinful and so the Lord has to judge that sin. But if His righteous judgment rained on us, we'd be in Sheol right now (in total separation from Him because no man can stand before Him on the basis of their own good works). Elohim hates sin. Are you familiar with the blood sacrifices of animals in the Old Testament? Well, those were temporary; they couldn't last for all time as a testament before the Father. A timeless One was needed, not only for the Israelites/Jews but for all mankind.
Atonement is made by blood because the life is in the blood (Leviticus 17:11). So Who came in the flesh to be our Substitute to take on the wrath of the Father? Yeshua haMashiach (the Anointed Saviour), Who laid down His life- not because He was threatened, defeated or forced- but of His own will out of agape (all-encompassing love, the purest form). By doing so, He rose again and conquered death.
This is the manifestation of the love of Elohim (God)- that He would be so merciful as to offer us the gift of redemption & salvation so we don't have to be separate from Him when we pass on to eternity. Yes, the walk here on earth isn't easy and we have to keep our eyes on Him in faith. But He's able to uphold us and if we come to the Father in humility, He gives us the peace of Yeshua to guard our hearts & minds. Therefore, we won't be following the law out of obligation or because we're being forced or we fear death/evil but because we love Him and know Him. We come to the Father in the Name of Yeshua; we have a relationship with Him, being saved *by grace through faith* alone, not of ourselves/ by our deeds.
That is how beautiful, righteous and loving the heart of *Yahweh* is. No one else compares. He's our Example. That's why I'm sharing about the love of Messiah.
The Lord said if we seek Him with our whole heart, we'd find Him. It's by His grace & mercy that He reveals Himself. Have a good day/night

@@afnanhype624- There is no such thing as “innocent man”.
@@afnanhype624 But Islam condones and encourages suicide bombers for 10,000 virgins in heaven? Killing many innocent for the purpose of sanctifying one person? JESUS CHRIST was born of a human woman that was a virgin, the HOLY SPIRIT (GOD) put HIS spirit in her. JESUS CHRIST was only part man, the woman part, the rest was GOD himself in the FLESH walking the earth. GOD has no "Guilt" and neither did Mary so you can say that about the son and the father in this case. JESUS CHRIST was the sacrificial "LAMB" of GOD to stop the daily killing of sheep for GOD's forgiveness. When JESUS CHRIST was hanging on the cross and cried " Father why hast thou forsaken me?" HE was completely human at that moment, GOD's spirit had to leave HIM so HE could take on the sins of the world (yours and mine)and die for us to receive Eternity in heaven. HE did that of HIS own accord to be obedient to HIS FATHER. Allah and our GOD are not the same entity, JESUS CHRIST was not just a prophet. Muslims believe in Mohammad (the false prophet) who led a rebellion against the Jews between 570 and 632 AD. Muslims also are decendants of Ishmael not Isaac. GOD did bless the decendants of Ishmael with many princes that the middle east has had including the ones in Saudi Arabia today but the Bible says "they will be like wild asses and die by the sword." In the Muslim religion are many groups of angered, evil terrorists that want to kill the rest of the world. Why is that? JESUS CHRIST is the ONLY way to the Father!
Its refreshing to see such a young brother glorify God. Blessings
The only regret a Christian has is not to have come to "The Word" and the "Way" sooner
I say this all the time
Don't forget that our heavenly Father has to draw us to Himself.
It's not worth regret if you accept that all things happen according to God's will and timeline, not ours. Think of the people with whom you can identify with because of your testimony.
Of course, Jesus is L-rd, but John MacArthur is my fave preacher.. John Loves Jesus.. and.. I believe, Jesus Christ loves John, our brother in Christ
Being a Christian, i was a lukewarm, but i got cancer and went through a lot of pain and misery. i came to be more closer to God, and in all that i see better the light that God has made for me. Praises him Praises him.🙏🙏
bless you
As the saying goes: "There are no atheists in foxholes." You were desperate, you would, of course, cling to anything to save your ass. You found a crutch and now you think you were saved because of it. Why would an all-merciful "god" allow his "children" to SUFFER AT ALL. It's ALL BULLSHIT. We here on earth are merely some alien mastermind's idea of an experiment. An experiment gone wrong, like a dying ant farm!

One step forward and Twenty steps back, then?
Yes more people in their 20s and teens need to awaken to spirituality. Most arent and are lost to the satanic forces of the world atm.
Yes sir. Just commented very similar.
I can testify to this. I’ve recently been through multiple losses and serious heartbreak and glory to God - those who seek Him WILL find him. Psalm 9:10 “those who know your name trust in you, for you Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you”
God is sovereign and good.
God is silent
@@MareckPetit not if you truly seek Him. ‘If you seek Me, you will find Me, if you seek Me with your whole heart. Please read John chapter 3, prayerfully, confess, and turn from your sin . He has made The way. ”HE IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE’.
Beautiful.
Silent? God speaks through people every day just like evil does..just look around you and listen.@@MareckPetit
God found me when I was not looking for Him.
Jaden! So encouraged to see a young man growing in wisdom so quickly. Keep it up, don't stop!
TY Lord for aome pastors who speak the truth.
McArthur has a gift of explaining things and hard truths I've never heard from others.
I ATTENDED HIS CHURCH, PAID $ TAPE OF THE MONTH CLUB.... IT TOOK EVERYTHING I HAD NOT TO TOSS TAPES AT HIS FEET!... HE GAVE A MESSAGE THAT DAY, kkkops were at the height of killing us [blacks] eric garner selling cigs, freddie gray fled dirty kkkops on bike, u see video, he can't stand, by the time they reach precinct? spine severed/windpipe crushed... [no crime, drugs, violation... black man killed j-walking, another jus walking home, both jean killed sitting ON HIS SOFA! ALL UNARMED!---WE GOTTA SUPPORT THE KKKOPS he said---we watched thump clear out area, PEACEFUL DEMONSTRATION TO TAKE PIC ... WE SAW WHITES DESTROY CAPITOL, NO ARREST? TO B TOLD---GO HOME, U SPECIAL, WE LOVE U... GIVE ME A BREAK
Doug Batchelor is much better 😊
Love Pastor John !
@@kallefinn-fs7lq...what a Christian remark.
What McArthur does is pretense, theatre, like America itself.
Im a triplet and we all have M.S and recently diagnosed with bpd. I suffer from alot of panic attacks. Yet each time it gets bad i instantly think of holding Gods hand and everything is immediately better. I dont care if im called delusional or crazy. My love just gets stronger for him. Believing that this universe is an accident sounds way more delusional and just sad
Jaiden, I just came across you! Wow!! God has created a special young man in you! Thankful to have found you🥰
You are very sweet and have touched my heart. Thank you for pouring into me
I never thought of pain and evil in that way. Emotional trauma is covering the truth sometimes, but, if you seek Him with all your heart, you will find Him❤❤
Some contemporary churches are billed as “seeker-friendly,” but the Bible says that “no one seeks God.” Psalm 14:2-3 pictures God searching in vain for even one heart that seeks Him: “The Lord looks down from heaven on all mankind to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God. All have turned away, all have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.” This passage is quoted in Romans 3:10-12, which says, “As it is written: ‘There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God.’” So, if no one seeks God, who are the “seekers” that some churches strategize to attract? Plus, how are people saved if no one is seeking God?
First, we must understand human nature. Because of Adam’s disobedience in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:11), sin entered the world and became part of human existence. Because Adam is the common ancestor of every human being, we all inherit that sin nature. We are born with a natural desire for rebellion, self-interest, and disobedience. In Romans 7:18, Paul says, “For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.” In ourselves, we cannot seek after God, for the simple reason that seeking God is a good and holy thing. Sinful flesh is incapable of good and holy things (Isaiah 64:6).
Jesus said, “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them” (John 6:44). In other words, the only way we can seek God is if the Holy Spirit has first stirred our hearts with a desire for God. It is God who draws us to Himself. Ephesians 2:8 underscores this truth: “By grace are you saved, through faith, and that not of yourselves. It is the gift of God
this one is so good , john is exactly right because sin is the wages of death, the drugs i used to do were killing me and he didnt want me to suffer but he was there when i was ready to let that stuff go, and how much more do i feel free because i suffered for years, he has forgiving me for much, my freedom feels like so much more with all that ive been threw, he is so amazing, praise God forevermore
Thank you for being a faithful witness to the younger generation (and to us older ones also)! Very encouraging!! You are much needed in this world today..
I'm 4 minutes in and this has already blown me away , oh how I needed to hear this 🙏 Glory to God
I'm so happy to hear God touched you with this Thomas.
@@jaidenforrest yes great video I needed this
A lot of our questions could be answered if we would simply read and study His Word. God bless you Jaiden!
God created us, not war, as some fools think who knows nothing. God created us and gave us the brain/tools to create have a beautiful world, Humanity failed and created war, not God.
@I-P-777 Yes, you are right. Humans have messed up by not seeking God.
@@RachelEngelmeyer
Still Gods fault though. He created us the way that we are, therefore anything we do is his fault. The Captain is ultimately responsible for the actions of his crew. If there is a God, this all just feels like some messed up science experiment. And we are the rats in the maze.
@@SvendleBerries I encourage you to get to know God. Allow Him to help you understand. His Holy Word and Spirit will give you all that you need.

Nah, thanks though. I will treat an abuser as an abuser, just like our politicians.
Amazing! Thank you, John MacArthur. My faith grows in God ❤

DUDE, this is one of the best videos explaining this I have ever seen!!! Thank you so much and thank John and of course thank you God!
Just wanted to say God bless you. Its so refreshing to see a youthful young man devoted to God and sharing that devotion. Pray to see more youths doing likewise
Thank you for deciding to comment. It's rejuvenating to receive encouragement such as yours and for the rest of the folks my age.
@@jaidenforrest you give me hope for the younger generation. I pray more young adults will see you clips and be blessed to follow Christ. God bless
Very good, and I love that sermon from my most favorite minister John MacArthur. I think another reason for evil, is that we really wouldn't know what goodness is, if we never saw evil. We would never know what thankfulness is if we never suffered. We would know nothing about forgiveness, and compassion, and we wouldn't have as much love for God, or a close relationship with Him, if He never saved us, or defeated evil. Evil show's us just how awesome, pure and holy, God is.
You are right, but only if you don't believe God meticulously determines everything. If God meticulously determines everything than evil and natural disasters are pointless. MacArthur preaches very good sermons but he wrongfully believes God meticulously determines everything.
Determinism does away with love , with true accountability, and with basic justice 101 . Saying to the praise of His glory does not make something diabolical good . In His sovereignty, He has created us with free will and capable of real actual Choice that's a much bigger God to the praise of His glory said with sincerity ✌️
@@larrycraig3295 Evil and suffering is what causes us to turn to God, and to love God. That wouldn't mean Evil is good. Giving us free will is what allows evil. So, aren't you contradicting yourself? We are all accountable for our sins, it's why we repent on a daily basis. I'm not sure why you think anything would do away with that. We have a strong desire to repent of our sins because we have the holy spirit in us. If he is truly in us, then nothing can take that desire away.
You have been given two paths to choose from, choose wisely, and remember that we have a great cloud of witnesses.
Love this, thanks for bringing us this clip from MacArthur and for your comments after.
I'm so impressed with you biblical knowledge! Atheist 12 months ago, wow God bless you for changing your heart.
Thankgod you arent an atheist anymore !! ❤❤
Exactly It my Brother.....God's Glory "is", that Light shines in the darkness.....John 1
What an intelligent , articulate young man of God. Wisdom is your gift from above’’
Bless you for sharing.
Thank you brother, The Lord is working wonders on you. 12 months and you really are being blessed.
Amen! Well said, praise God! The only One who is Holy and worthy! Beyond our comprehension. God bless you ✝️
Young man, continue doing what you're doing - sharing clips that are useful for righteous living and sharing your thoughts. God bless you Jaiden ! Will pray that your vlogs reach many young people.
Refreshing, God Bless you for your faith.
I have to say I really like your style. You have a maturity beyond your age. I like your videos because you don't feel the need to interrupt a sermon clip to inject your own commentary. While you do offer your points in summary at the end, I like that you let the speaker make the point you are trying to get across without interruption. I've seen so many videos where the channel feels the need to interrupt the clip to make some obvious point like their commentary is essential. To me, they are unwatchable. I like your honesty, respect and humility for those you are quoting. Keep up the good work and may God continually bless you..
This is good feedback, thank you. It's often times they want to remain fair use by speaking often, but I think it sacrifices the viewer experience to thoughtfully think about a clip and can just end up as the commentator just summarizing each minute and I agree with you. I appreciate this.
Man if you could get John MacArthur on Joe Rogan's show....would be epic
“I was an atheist 12 months ago”
I just started watching your videos about a week ago, but have only seen a few. I honestly never would have guessed that you were an atheist, the way you talk about the Lord and how well you break things down and simplify them, making things easier for people like myself to understand. I’m glad you came to know God, brother. And I’m thankful to God for putting your channel in my life. Have a blessed life, brother. And thank you for the videos 🙂
You are a great inspiration young man! Good bless you as He keeps you in the palm of His mighty hands 🙏
You are a shining light for the young in today's world. Satan has blinded this world to evil especially the youth and its inspiring to listen to your views as a new Christian. Keep growing in the word and through you God will reach many. I admire your fearlessness. God Bless you
I’m amazed for a young man full of wisdom of the Highly God of above sharing how God what he is..
Keep up with the will of God.🎶🎵✝️💖🙏
I have watched many explanations on this subject and I must say this explanation was by far the best; particularly in the sense that God is not hiding from the fact that he allows it and sometimes he takes responsibility for it because he sends it.
Also, it fascinates me to see someone as young as you reaching out to bring people closer to God. May He bless your efforts.
I really appreciate your wisdom and faithfulness.
It’s a breath of fresh air to see young men having such a deep understanding and seeking Gods face! God Bless this young man and his family and friends!
Great message from John. I listen to him but never heard this explanation. Thank you. I’m going to get this down in my spirit. Great great answer. Good job

What a blessing! Thank you for making this video. ❤
Thank you for this video. I love it when you said God uses these evils to build positive attributes in us and to sanctify and shape us to present us in the best form we can be when we ultimately go to Heaven. Love your videos, they always make me ponder.
Glad to see someone so young understanding God's Wisdom.
Excellent video! Thanks for not interrupting, like so many do. You are serving a great purpose for the Kingdom.
Outstanding content. Great contribution to the day. KEEP GOING!!
GOD didn't originally create evil. It came about from sin. Punishment for evil, and also human freewill after original sin.
Isaiah 55 begs to differ with you
God created the heavens and the earth...all of it. For His glory. He is separate from it all. Enthroned in glory, bestowing grace, mercy and loving kindness where He pleases. In righteousness, permitting evil to reign to ends only understood in His infinite wisdom. His ways are not our ways, we cannot contend with the almighty God. We are blessed to glorify and bless His name. He is enthroned on the praises of all creation! Every knee will bow to the King of Kings, Lord of Lord's.
Isaiah 45:7 - "I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and CREATE EVIL: I the Lord do all these things."
@@spacemoose4726the word evil can mean bad things or destruction, etc which are not always evil in the way we see and do evil. Sin is humans rebelling against God’s will, so this is evil. God cannot sin by definition but humans can suffer from His judgements/will. Jesus looked to the future eternal glory. We don’t always have that perspective on what’s happening.
@@timias6040 Why can't we take God's word as it is written? Why do we need to do mental gymnastics to make it comfortable to us? If the bible is God's word, he explicitly says he created evil.
God created humans. God created Satan. God created hell. God created temptation. God's will creates the ability of sin. You can try and sugar coat it all you want, but according to Christian logic, God is responsible for the creation of evil and sin.
Best answer I've heard. Most 'apologists' tap-dance around the question.
John MacArthur is a great teacher, he has taught me so much.

John McArthur is the most brilliant Christian elder, doesn't sugarcoat biblical Christianity.

He teaches most doctrines correctly. No one has complete understanding. I agree with John 90%. I do not have complete understanding either, but John MacArthur is the finest expositor of the New Testament on planet Earth.

Amen brother stay on the straight path. Alot of us need to realize we need him not the other way around. I wish you well!! 2 Timothy 2:15
Wise beyond your years....
First of all, God has the right to do what he wants. He created you, you did not create him. Second of all, God did not create the problems we have satand talked us into it. People like Rogan fall in to his deep sleep. God help him and others that keep on the path of evil and do not look toward the LIGHT.
The fallen angels taught us about weapons of war, Pharmakia, abortion, witchcraft and all sorts of evil.
The existence of evil forces all people to make a decision to do right or wrong. God wants us to CHOOSE Him.
So glad you joined the family of God. Blessings to you and continue to grow in your faith
Well today, we live in the NT, in the days of grace. So stop blaming God for the bad going on in the world. "For the devil comes to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came to give abundant life." (John 10:10)
However not everyone does live in the NT. And the NT does not abolish the OT. They go hand in hand.
@PinkieJoJo while they do, we live under a new covenant now. Isaiah 61 tells us what Jesus came to do. "What has light in common with darkness? How can God and satan ever agree? Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness." (Bible) So if people do evil the bad that happens is their fault not God's. If people have no free will they are mere robots and are unaccountable for anything and then Christ would've died for nothing. If God is to blame for everything that happens then again, nobody's accountable for anything and Christ died for nothing. Sin is not harmless, it destroys. All sin remains with the sinner. From cover to cover God tells people to live righteously. God's not to blame when they don't.
Is45:7 God says he creates good and evil, he creates everything. Actually evil exists for man to be free to choose among evil and the good that dwells in the Lord…and that Jesus granted us, paying with his own life, for us to enjoy.
Evil in Hebrew translates to mean calamity, disaster
Isaiah 45:7 says that God created evil so I don't know where he got that from that he said that God did not create evil but I have to admit for the most part he is pretty good teacher
Please watch out for John MacArthur----- he's a Calvinist..... enough said.
Right but he has a ton of great content. Discernment is needed.
That's good because Calvinism is correct.
It doesn’t matter what he is listen to what he is saying
Amaizing!!Thank you!! Praise be to Our Lord Grace and Mercy 🙇🏽♀️
Grace? The lord is a girl?
Blessings young man keep up the faithfulness in God. Jesus Saves glad I found your channel. Pray for the lost!
Wow.......that's a very difficult message for any non Christian human to accept who has experienced personal tragedy.
Even before I was saved I knew there was something about this evil thing. I lived with my mom and Uncle for a bit and my uncle had done many years in prison for evil stuff and I in my carnal mind believed that he was worthy of some sort of punishment on Earth. But God was showing me up right up until I found Jesus that I was not better than him as my own name would not permit me into heaven. Anyone can be forgiven & provided mercy even me as I was on the same level as him in God's eyes because I had committed sin. So God is the Good One Regardless, & All Humans are the tainted, Not just a certain flock. But God will lead you to him like me if you actually seek righteousness Matthew 5:6✨.
This is like a person telling a quadriplegic that their lucky because God made them a quadriplegic to really build their character, and it's actually worse to be healthy because they have a harder time finding ways to build their character.
Religion really can make, otherwise good people, do and say some really awful things.
@kaisu953
I used to also judge my neighbor for the evil done to me. When I realized I'm not better than him. We have ALL sinned against a Holy God. How dare I feel so self righteous as if I'm better.
We are not, Jesus gave His life for ALL. ALL have fallen short, we are no better than the next person. Gods grace extends to everyone.

For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence."
~ Colossians 1:15-18
"Satan, who is the god of this world has blinded the minds of those who don't believe.
They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News.
They don't understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God."
~ 2 Corinthians 4:4
"For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are saved it is the power of God. For it is written:
“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”
~ 1 Corinthians 1:18-19
"Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man-and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things. Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen."
~ Romans 1:22-25
"But if it is unpleasing in your sight to serve the LORD, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living. As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD!”
~ Joshua 24:15
"For the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, And their eyes they have closed, Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I should heal them."
~ Matthew 13:15
"Whoever listens to you listens to Me; whoever rejects you rejects Me; and whoever rejects Me rejects the One who sent Me.”
~ Luke 10:16
"Brethren, if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back, let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins."
~ James 5:19-20
"And whoever will not receive you nor hear your words, when you depart from that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet. Assuredly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!"
~ Matthew 10:14-15

Thank you for putting someone (JMac) on the screen who can more accurately and comprehensively answer the question! Also a HUGE thank you for putting him main screen! SO many channel hosts doing this type of video work want to stay main screen while their borrowed "main attraction" is down in the corner! This is expecially important when the answers are of eternal importance! These questions need to be answered and there are few better at answering them than Dr MacArthur. I also commend you for not shying away from a serious question on your channel.
1 John 5:19
God didn't create evil, Satan did, and he is in control of this earth...
Thank you what a wise young man you are it gives me great when I hear of young men who have been saved and are now preaching the word of God in what is a very challenging time God bless you and your ministry
Never heard this lesson from John - but he is spot on Biblically - praise God for His being and His will and way !!
Amen Jaiden! God keep you humble and grow in the love and joy of the Lord!
Yes. Thank you for this.
It’s refreshing to see such wisdom on a young man’s shoulders GOD BLESS You Northern Ireland 👍
I appreciate you Young Man! I love your spirit to consistently show truth with conviction.well done...indeed!
POWERFUL MESSSAGE! Thank you for presenting this!!
Amen young man! Teach The Word! God bless you!
Thank you Mr McCarter I don't agree with everything you say but in this message I agree with you 150% thank you
Praise GOD.GOD bless you and your messages young Man.
The Power of prayer is beyond wonderful. I’ve many heart problems, plus 2 neck fusions and 4 back surgeries. The Power of The Blood of Jesus Christ strengthens me, and at time emboldens me. God is so great, awesome and lovely.
One of my favorite sermons he answered this question beatifully
Young man, you're doing excellent work! I have loved MacArthur sermons probably before you were born. 😅 But I never saw this sermon. Just love the richness in this answer.❤
Love your videos man. Keep it up. MacArthur is great and it's sad watching him grow old. Him and Chuck Missler are/were two of the best.
I’m proud that a young man like yourself is expressing himself about God the way you are, I hope God continues giving you knowledge so that you will be able to share it
Jaiden you are such an impressive young man. Thank you for sharing your gift with us.
God didn't create war.
He created man, who created war.
wow Jaiden! the Lord has blessed you with wisdom far beyond your years! Thank you Jesus! You have shown me a way to have faith again in your generation!
Amen, preach it my brother!
Very deep. Opened my mind and soul to better understanding. This is a keeper. ****Sharing****.
Very well put together-make John Mac be your mentor and you will grow in the Faith!
I had a near death experience at age 22. I met my Creator Savior GOD "face to face", so to speak. It was the most intense, most wonderful and most significant experience of my 60 years on Planet Earth. I was a believer before my NDE, and after my NDE, my experience with GOD exploded like a thermonuclear explosion (in a good way)!!!
Keep up the good work, Jaiden!
😇
TO GOD BE ALL THE GLORY
We've kicked God out of the schools, the culture, the family, the halls of justice, even the church, and then we cry out, Lord Lord where art thou?
Just last night had this same conversation at our church , God ‘s Glory is all that matters . This statement is true . GOD is sovereign and He good .
I find myself stumbling across these videos of John McArthur and other Calvinists trying to answer these questions without saying WE are the ones who create evil.
God by Grace has given us free will. God doesn’t will evil, He allows it as a consequence for our actions. Just as He does Blessing for the consequence of our obedience
I live and toil in my life. I'm still here thanks be to God. The rock my foundation is built upon.
