John MacArthur lists the effects of COVID & Lockdowns

@Dave L. -- well -- it's obvious that we live in a sinful / corrupt world. The electron fraud for one thing. Satan has not yet been Bound. He's been 'foot-loose and fancy free' since the Fall of Adam and Eve. But God has Also been in control. And satan Will receive his 'due reward' in the future eternal existance in the lake of fire and brimstone.

But- - satan has not yet Been bound. He Will be in the future for those 1,000 yrs. And then be loosed again.

I've not been into Church history very much. I Do know that the Baptist church background has been complicated.

There Used to be great preachers -- D.L Moody from years back -- Spurgeon -- Billy Graham -- John MacArthur -- Dr. David Jeremiah -- Dr. Jeffres. There have been some great preachers , yes, but this country has gradually gotten farther and farther away From God's Word. And Scripture Does predict that would be happening. Nowdays , people don't want to hear about sin and eternity -- lots of people only want 'feel-good' sermons. And when higher education goes more for evolutionary thinking / theistic evolution / Away from Genesis creation -- there Will be problems. In fact -- high schools go for evolutionary thinking. Kids are ridiculed at a much younger age than ever before. We Need to get Back to Biblical ethics / morality. Those are laughed at , too.

When speaking of doctrine -- I think of Bible doctrine -- what the Bible teaches on various topics. Maybe what you're referring to are the various religious belief systems that come up with their own 'doctrines' that are not based on God's Word. Some of them Contain His Word -- but vear off on their own human paths.

Take a look at 1 John 2:18 "Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now Many antichirst have come, by which we know that it is the last hour.
My NKJV has the first antichrist ' Antichrist' and the second one "many antichrists'". The Antichrist compared to 'many antichrists'. So the Bible / God's Word Does teach about that doctrine. It Isn't a RCC teaching.

Your terminology -- or concept Of 'free will is an Antichrist Doctrine -- also Dispensationalism.' Don't know why how you come up with that.

You might want to scratch off Robert Jeffress from your list of great preachers. Look up video of him on the Lou Dobbs show last night. He is pleading with Christians to take the pre-mark. I have no doubt when the Mark does come, he will lead tens of thousands to destruction along side himself.
 
Now, this is so interesting, that some leaders of the institutionalize type churches, think that, the pandemic is not a real threat, or great enough threat that "Covid-19" wouldl spread from church member to another church member and then spread through those members unto others in those members environment.

Is it because, God would not allow "Covid-19" to attack "church" going attending people? Is something special about going to church during the time of "Pandemics", Plagues,, sickness of diseases, chicken pox, measles, even in cases of "Leprosy". [are there still a few around, who remembers their Old Testament Manuscripts?]. For we do, still do, have those, who Lives under "The SchoolMaster".

Well maybe, our "Religious Rulers" are right, and our government has got it wrong, and the "Covid-19" is a diabolical scare and does not deserve such merit into such "quarantine". Ok, why would our government put so much harm throughout the world upon it's people? Is our government, to be not trusted, to go to such lengths throughout the World. If their answer is yes. And it is all a "Hoax"! If it is a Hoax, Then I know," I am not putting "NANO" Technology" in my Body! Then why are they not telling us on "Sunday Morning" to not put "Tiny bits of computer technology into our bodies, because "Covid=19" is not that bad! I understand many young and older people do not understand "computer Technology" and how it works! I do! I know how it works "Computer Science" degree 1983. both Hardware and Software and CAD design. When everyone was still pushing pencil and paper and Typewiters and did not believe in the future of Computer Science. I came along with "Rose Perot", Bill Gates, Steve JoBs, EDS, I know how to write "Software for the Hardware, let alone the Software for the Programing software. I know the Languages, i know The 'Binary" system, And in My College math class, "The "Hexadecimal system" the 1st classes of the semester, The Instructor inform us, If anyone could solve this problem, they could leave, and received an "A+" for the semester now and not to return. The Mathematical Problem, circle the whole room. i look at it from my chair and my mind circle the room. and to my amazement, I said to myself, i can do that! I got up and in about 20 minutes, and said Igot the answer. he said do it. I did it! The whole class was amazed, I was too! Doing that time i was a married but "Single Parent" a son and a small daughter and on "disability" who cook for them and wash, homework, and did volunteer work in their school classes. And their were times , they had to lay down on the floor while I dress them, laying beside me, and I would fix my daughter's hair in braids, and clips, and iron their clothes, and fix their meals, and some of my classes in college were at night and they would go along with me, and sit at the back of the classroom and do their homework.

My parents was the only ones that really knew all that i was doing, and my mother cried when the 1st time she saw the way i knew how to fix my daughters hair, She ask me how could i do my daughter's hair so good. I told her, "mama I cried and prayed for GOD to teach me how. and he did. better than any woman! Do not get this wrong: I am a "Alpha" male. "Boy Scout", Explorer Scout", Highschool Football , Offensive Pulling Guard, Middle Line Backer, Kickoff and Return Team, The only one, that never came off the field, except for half time. A BlackBelt full contact, Okinawa style, karate ,kung fu, Jujitsu, 4-5 years. "A Motorcycle Club Rear Road Captain", members: Police Officers and Reserve Police Officers.

Did the church knew that i did those things, No, but i was the enemy and the one label the devil It was none of their business, But they where the ones who had the wisdom. Because they "assumed". And they listen to lies. But GOD knew the truth, and I trusted HIm! And down through the years I have kept my mouth shut! For I have found out, That The rulers, of this World, Loves to "Listen to Lies". and they love to "Sop up" Gossip, like it was Bisquits and Gravy".

They have fell to realize it is a "Great and Terrible Sin in the eyes of GOD" and HE will judge. This sin, God lets it builds and builds, and they think it is not harmful but a little white lie, but it is one of those that GOD lets accumulates. And they think, since nothing has ever harm them or corrected them but all has gone well, while others are punish and complain of 'Chastisement' and they haven't. They think, their sins, are not that bad.:pensive: If only they would have read their Bibles like they should have, but they are not that bad. "It is the little foxes, that spoils the vines".

There are six things which the LORD hates,
Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him:

Haughty eyes, a lying tongue,
And hands that shed innocent blood,

A heart that devises wicked plans,
Feet that run rapidly to evil,

A false witness who utters lies,
And one who spreads strife among brothers.


New Living Translation
Put your hope in the LORD. Travel steadily along his path. He will honor you by giving you the [Earth]. You will see the wicked destroyed.

(John 7:24)
New International Version
Stop judging by mere appearances, but instead judge correctly."

For Truly this Day will Come to Pass:
(Isaiah 11).

A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse;
from his roots a Branch will bear fruit.
The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him—
the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding,
the Spirit of counsel and of might,
the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the Lord—
and he will delight in the fear of the Lord.
He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes,
or decide by what he hears with his ears;
but with righteousness he will judge the needy,
with justice he will give decisions for the poor of the earth.
He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth;
with the breath of his lips he will slay the wicked.
Righteousness will be his belt
and faithfulness the sash around his waist.

For this Day is coming upon us.

What a story, The Salvation Story will be, such Glory it will be, inwhich it could never fade away, but only be Magnified every moment throughout "Eternity' that will never end. from brighter to brighter that will never end.:pensive: we will be The Stars of The Sky.


(2 Cor. 3)ISV.
7Now if the ministry of death that was inscribed in letters of stone came with such glory that the people of Israel could not gaze on Moses’ face (because the glory was fading away from it), 8will not the Spirit’s ministry have even more glory? 9For if the ministry of condemnation has glory, then the ministry of justification has an overwhelming glory. 10In fact, that which once had glory lost its glory, because the other glory surpassed it. 11For if that which fades away camed through glory, how much more does that which is permanent have glory?

12Therefore, since we have such a hope, we speak very boldly, 13not like Moses, who kept covering his face with a veil to keep the people of Israel from gazing at the end of what was fading away. 14However, their minds were hardened, for to this day the same veil is still there when they read the old covenant. Only in union with the Messiahe is that veil removed.f 15Yet even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts. 16But whenever a person turns to the Lord, the veil is removed. 17Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Lord’s Spirit is, there is freedom. 18As all of us reflect the glory of the Lord with unveiled faces, we are becoming more like him with ever-increasing glory by the Lord’s Spirit.

[2 Corinthians 3:18 says, "And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit." Some translations say, "being transformed from glory to glory."].

I do hope to GOD this Message Blesses you, my true brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus our Lord. Sweet Jesus!

Sweet Jesus! Sweet Jesus!
 
back in the day when someone got sick they kept them away from the public that was called quarantine,,,,,now they want to lock down the healthy, that is called tyranny.

we have a new world system spoken of in the book of Daniel being formed now, it is the final kingdom of the world before the Lord returns IMO

I have been looking for the two witness to appear any day now.

""The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on earth. It will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth, trampling it down and crushing it.""

This already happened in the first century. Only the born again can see the true kingdom of God. MacArthur and the Pharisees still look for a physical kingdom.
 
This man is blowing a lot of smoke. What has my heart torn apart is that at the state level, children are still being removed from their families for questionable reasons with no place to put them as foster families generally do not want new children coming into the homes and there are court cases backed up by 6 and 8 months. For children 2-4 that do not understand what is going on, their parental visitation is done from a 6 ft. Distance with no physical contact with the child. This is absolutely unacceptable on every level, and completely soul cringing. For kids that turn 18, their birthday gift is going cold turkey from the psychotropic meds they have been on and they meet the street. They currently make up 30 % of our homeless population in America, yet no one is talking about this growing nightmare. God bless these children.
