Learn the Bible at home, live the Bible every day, get used to praying at home with no one watching. Then you can show up to a congregation and actually help other people, instead of signalling false righteousness like the Marxists do.
Has he been educated on the original mistake itself? Has he repented of turning from God out of fear?
‘If calamity comes upon us, whether the sword of judgment, or plague or famine, we will stand in your presence before this temple that bears your Name and will cry out to you in our distress, and you will hear us and save us.’
"15 days to slow the spread" was never a valid excuse to close the doors of a church even if it HAD been the black plague. It was a valid excuse to go to church and ask for God's help.
I may be a stubborn fundamentalist, but I couldn't accept any pastor that didn't at the bare minimum apologize and repent profusely for his lack of faith. We all make mistakes, and even Peter denied the Lord three times, but he did repent after the fact.
I tell my kids this constantly. You are the church. Stop looking to others to lead the way for you. Christ is The Way and he is available 24/7 anywhere. Not just in a building on Sunday.
Do it, Its an awesome way to grow into a closer relationship with Christ! At least once a year I go for 4 nights, tent, food, Bible, no electronics. The kids never go on these trips, those family trips are so much better after alone time with God. My preacher recommended it to me several years ago
You dont need church. Its just you and God, outside in the fresh air, surrounded by nature and all the little miracles around you. The church lost me 50 yrs ago but I am still close to God.
Do it. There are a lot of great churches and Covid has gotten a lot of them to greatly improve their livestream capabilities (I know my church has). You can stream John MacArthur at Grace Church on Sunday’s. He’s a boss.
That's a beautiful verse in Romans, referring to Elijah of course. He thought he was alone, but God had saved a few thousand other believers for His own purposes.
Yeah I hope Trumps flood of judges continues and helps turn the tide on all the liberal nonsense verdicts not based in law. This was in the 9th circus!!
Well, that's Jesus's fault. Had he not have gone in and started flipping tables, churches would still have markets, mortgage services, roulette wheels, and gomorrah rooms (how fucked up is it that we don't even know what the gomorrahites did? We KNOW what sodomy is) Churches would still be open .
Yup, all Jesus's fault. /Satire (we need a satire slash like the sarcasm one.)
I believe /s doubles as a satire slash, as very few people even know the difference between irony and sarcasm, most /s sarcastic posts are actually satirical irony in the first place.
You may be right about it representing both, and you are absolutely correct about the misattributation, but I feel like using the /s for anything like I said would have invited criticism. It's weird how we sometimes must not do the right thing because it would be seen as wrong, but that's the world we live in.
As a real world example, think about the horrible abuse parents/doctors are inflicting on so called "trans" kids. In a sane world grabbing the kid and running it to the cops for safety would be heralded as a heroic act. Instead we live in clown world where if we did that demonstrably correct thing, WE'D be tossed in a cell.
The first thing commies do when they take over is destroy the church (you will now worship the state. Kim Il Un anyone?) and kill off all the old people (so there is no living memory of better times. Grandma Killer Cuomo anyone?)
The most dangerous part of marxism was in successfully convincing many 'Christians' that the seven deadly sins are actually virtues.
That the greed, avarice and sloth inherent in socialism is just "charity" and Christians are supposed to support charity right? Maybe even get a bit wrathful when other's don't support the forced "charity" by rule of law? And how bout that lust stuff, I mean some people are just born that way and should be tolerated, amiright? And then gluttony, I mean, does anyone even consider that a sin anymore? Seriously, just stuff your face and smoke pot all day while living on welfare, as long as you aren't hurting anyone other than the children, right?
Had that not succeeded, Marxism would have completely failed (as an indoctrination method) and it's roots would have been torn out.
They keep making MacArthur sound like some little pastor. The guy is a friggin juggernaut. He has one of the best study Bibles in existence. He's got the resources to fight this fight.
You should read the Statement of Faith for his seminary, The Master's Seminary. It's totally focused on the majesty of God. That man has a mind like a granite cliff, towering in the distance.
Every Friday after my husband and I are done with work, we work out and listen to the previous week's sermon put out by Pastor John MacArthur. This really starts our weekend off right!
The problem is that the tyrants aren't even bothering to make laws, they just issue insane decrees and then going after anyone who refuses to join their voodoo mask cult.
Even the fact that they felt the need to sue, as if the government has any control over how the church chooses to gather. No lawsuit necessary.
And certainly no reopening under strict guidelines.
Nothing good was accomplished here.
I'm with you guys on this. Even the fact they originally closed the doors when the state told them to was a failure of faith, and I have not seen an ounce of repentance over that. Even their letter about why they aren't listening now made excuses and justifications for why they obeyed the first time (hint: out of fear the government was right and a scary plague was going to kill them all if they didn't stop worshiping God for a few weeks).
Engaging in a lawsuit requires playing by the rules, ie: capitulating to the state. That's why Jesus had a lot to say about the idea of Christians suing people, and it wasn't "just make sure it's for a good cause."
They should have simply ignored the state and allowed the state to bring charges if it was going to happen. Because when the time comes to defend yourself against a charge, God will give you the testimony needed to win.
Luke 21:12 But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake. 13 And it shall turn to you for a testimony. 14 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer: 15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
In other words, God will defend you in court when the time comes, if you do nothing to prepare yourself. That doesn't apply when you choose to initiate a lawsuit. That's not even standing ground from a group that capitulated the first time. (In fact there is a damn good chance they will lose the overall lawsuit BECAUSE they capitulated the first time.)
You know the face diaper Nazis will be watching them like a hawk. If one person takes off their mask the stormtroopers are going to swoop in and shut them down.
It doesn’t matter if the government thinks church is essential or not. They have absolutely zero right to fuck with church, period. Same for when the government says ‘we want to give you your first amendment rights, but..’. They don’t control the distribution of those rights. Watch the language and wording. It matters.
Judge Roberts can go and die in a fucking fire. One fucking job, uphold the Constitution, and he can't even do that. I don't know what they have on him, but it's probably fucking kids and I will treat him as such.
He is a cessationist, basically he doesn’t believe the supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit are still available today. This is a lie the globalists have used to destroy the church. But I support him as a fellow brother in Christ and glad he is fighting against the commies.
What supernatural gifts are still available today then? Jesus gave his apostles power so that people knew what they said is the real deal.We dont need that in modern times because we have the whole Word already.
I dont even need to go that far. Show me one example of someone getting healed instantly by a person. It doesnt happen. My grandpa used to try and guess what, he never got healed.
I hope it is not a temporary win.
MacArthur is a great preacher of God’s Word.
Very few of them left. It's dismal and sickening how so many churches have rolled over for the Marxist Revolution.
An evangelical pastor I know was teaching BLM and reparations last November, so this was all planned...
I know my church was infiltrated by Marxists and so I'm looking for a new church now.
Want to know a secret? We are the church.
Learn the Bible at home, live the Bible every day, get used to praying at home with no one watching. Then you can show up to a congregation and actually help other people, instead of signalling false righteousness like the Marxists do.
I lost a lot of respect when our preacher pushed the shut down. Thankfully he's since been educated on the scamdemic.
Has he been educated on the original mistake itself? Has he repented of turning from God out of fear?

And the modern Catholic church has become hopelessly corrupt at the highest levels, complete with an Obama pope.
Been that way for a much longer time, sadly. We’re just getting longer periods of corrupt popes between the good ones now.
Do it, Its an awesome way to grow into a closer relationship with Christ! At least once a year I go for 4 nights, tent, food, Bible, no electronics. The kids never go on these trips, those family trips are so much better after alone time with God. My preacher recommended it to me several years ago
What stopped you?
Home alters used to be a thing here in North America until about 130 years ago. That's one tradition that should come back.
You dont need church. Its just you and God, outside in the fresh air, surrounded by nature and all the little miracles around you. The church lost me 50 yrs ago but I am still close to God.
Hebrews 10:25 disagrees with you.
Im curious, when was the last time you took communion, as Jesus himself commanded?
Do it. There are a lot of great churches and Covid has gotten a lot of them to greatly improve their livestream capabilities (I know my church has). You can stream John MacArthur at Grace Church on Sunday’s. He’s a boss.
Mother fucking Methodist fucksticks spend all their time and energy importing foreigners and promoting Marxism.
Closing the churches was the first step IMO. Should have woken a lot of the wheat to how much chaff there really is.
Always invite lefty "Christians" to go to China and take Bibles with them.
Head over to /r/reformed, you'll get lots of suggestions.
The Lord always keeps to himself few who haven't bowed down to Baal!
That's a beautiful verse in Romans, referring to Elijah of course. He thought he was alone, but God had saved a few thousand other believers for His own purposes.
Yeah I hope Trumps flood of judges continues and helps turn the tide on all the liberal nonsense verdicts not based in law. This was in the 9th circus!!
It was just overturned late Saturday night by an emergency appeal. Back to square one again.
Father, son, john macarthur. Hes the 4th member of the trinity
It's astonishing how there is a different standard for religious faculties and other places like markets, casinos, and others.
Well, that's Jesus's fault. Had he not have gone in and started flipping tables, churches would still have markets, mortgage services, roulette wheels, and gomorrah rooms (how fucked up is it that we don't even know what the gomorrahites did? We KNOW what sodomy is) Churches would still be open .

Honk, honk.

Casinos pay a fuckton in taxes. The governors gave them a pass real quick.
And churches don't. So there you have it.
Lol he hired Trump's legal team...he's got resources for sure
There's a reason why Christians are always opposed to leftism, because we don't worship the state/politicians. And we know the heart of men
Hate to break it to you, but many Christians embrace Marxism
The Lutherans are the reason there are so many Somali refugees in Minnesota
And I think the Baptists own the Somali concession in Maine.
Do you mean CINOs!

Absolutely correct. Fwiw, my favorite by him is The Gospel According to Jesus. A must-read, imo.
Sorry dogmatic calvinists dont do it for me.
Praise Jesus! God Bless these Patriots!!
Every Friday after my husband and I are done with work, we work out and listen to the previous week's sermon put out by Pastor John MacArthur. This really starts our weekend off right!
The real victory would be sacking Newsom, for this shouldn't have happened in the first place.
John MaCArthur is hands down the best bible teacher in our day. I highly recommend you download the GTY app.
I switched churches because my church won’t open and insists on zoom meetings.
GOOD
I am atheist and would follow John into battle. Great fucking news for him and a win for constitutional rights
this guy freedoms
I hope Robert's is taking notes.

It's about time! The big question is, what tricks do the Democrats have up their sleeve now?
They're gonna send an active shooter into a church. I wouldn't put it out of the picture. Leftists are insane
Or an active covid infected person(s)
Amazing how the sep of church n state is only convenient for the Left's agenda.
hence why the idea of separation of church and state was designed to protect the church from the state. Not the other way around.
MacArthur is the real deal. Love his books.
Fuck Gavin Newsom with a 30 foot pole. And make it 2 feet in diameter.
And razor sharp
"Judge allows" your freedom of religion. Not sure is meant to work like this. Commiefornia.
LITERALLY a violation of the first amendment.
IDGAF if going to church spreads AIRBORNE EBOLAIDS
NO LAW RESPECTING RELIGION
THE END
Sad that such basic things are “historic wins” instead basic constitutional guarantees
Gruesome Newsome is Nervous Nancy’s nephew isn’t he? Funny how he landed that job hey? Follow the money.
By marriage. He married her niece I believe
Amen!!!
Fuck it, all churches should declare all services as BLM rallies. We can play the headline game too, motherfuckers!
Thank God, and sadly this battle is not over.
Get out and get people registered, those who will vote Republican/Trump.
All those judges added are starting to pay off.
Let’s fucking go!!!!!!
It doesn’t matter if the government thinks church is essential or not. They have absolutely zero right to fuck with church, period. Same for when the government says ‘we want to give you your first amendment rights, but..’. They don’t control the distribution of those rights. Watch the language and wording. It matters.
Jenna, Please tell trump to focus on stopping transgender and the LGBT mafia.we also need you to tell him to talk about Cannon Hinnant
So they're still going to wear muzzles and all stand 6 feet apart for no reason? Sounds like half a win, at best.
John MacArthur's Perfect Gospel Presentation To Ben Shapiro
https://youtu.be/tY1KcLgA01I
Great win for a great brain with guts!
Born and raised in Sun Valley, Cal. Know the church well. Hooorah!
Judge Roberts can go and die in a fucking fire. One fucking job, uphold the Constitution, and he can't even do that. I don't know what they have on him, but it's probably fucking kids and I will treat him as such.
John MacArthur. Yes.
Good.
Now can we get our businesses up and RUNNING again? A lot of us want to actually work.
I cannot stand John MacArthur’s theology BUT I hate the Commies worse! However, he should win this case!
He is a cessationist, basically he doesn’t believe the supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit are still available today. This is a lie the globalists have used to destroy the church. But I support him as a fellow brother in Christ and glad he is fighting against the commies.
What supernatural gifts are still available today then? Jesus gave his apostles power so that people knew what they said is the real deal.We dont need that in modern times because we have the whole Word already.
What scripture supports that statement?
Answer my question first please.
All gifts of the Holy Spirit are available to the church today. Please provide a scripture to the contrary.
I dont even need to go that far. Show me one example of someone getting healed instantly by a person. It doesnt happen. My grandpa used to try and guess what, he never got healed.
So to be clear, you can't find a scripture to support your theology, correct? You are basing your theology on your experience.
So should we tear out the many scriptures on healing because your grandpa didn't get healed?
Handing out some demon-exorcising powers would be a big help these days.
I just like the fact that he brought the lawsuit
BINGO! His complementarian theology & beliefs on Lordship Salvation are TOXIC!
Then, to you, the Bible is toxic.
Oh boy, lookie here. We have ourselves a feminist!
How does having egalitarian theology and opposing complementarian theology automatically make someone a feminist ?
If you adhere to feminist beliefs instead of the bible, you're a feminist.
