  1. It’s telling that the MacArthur bible has notes on John 3:10-3:16 & 3:18, but not John 3:17. #uspol #christian #johnmacarthur

  2. On February 19, #fundamentalist #Pastor #JohnMacArthur of Grace Community #Church in #California condemned a #Christian group for honoring #MartinLutherKingJr. in 2018.

    MacArthur claimed #MLK was “not a Christian at all” and that the late #civilrights leader was “a #nonbeliever who misrepresented everything about #Christ and the #gospel.”

  3. "There is no single pastor who has been more influential on young theological conservatives in the last 50 years than MacArthur. Not Billy Graham. Not Adrian Rogers. Not Charles Stanley. Not John Piper.

    MacArthur has been the gold standard for conservative and Reformed theology not only through his preaching but through his books, his commentaries, his study Bible, his podcasts, his videos, his conferences, his public appearances."

  4. "Notice I said 'more stories.' This is not the first time such evidence has been presented against MacArthur and his ironically named church. There is no grace in the kind of male-centered theology popularized by MacArthur and his all-male elders."

  5. Mark Wingfield writes,

    "A righteous furor has erupted in the past week over a credible report published by Christianity Today telling more stories of women who sought help through 'biblical counseling' at John MacArthur’s Grace Community Church and were told they must remain with the men who hit them, raped them and abused their children."

  6. Eileen Gray's husband was then convicted of child molestation, but the church has never retracted its decision to punish her or apologized for it.

    Du Mez then summarizes Kate Shellnutt's report about what happened as Hohn Cho tried to hold Grace Community Church accountable, and concludes,

    "This is how abuse thrives in churches like John MacArthur’s. Christian leaders circle the wagons."

  7. @AnungIkwe @Sycaid I completely understand where you're coming from, the church's purity culture has hurt and harmed a lot of people. There's no greater example of this than the time #JohnMacArthur's church cast out a member for speaking out against her husband's abuse and seeking separation/abuse:

    However, the whole church isn't like that. In fact, folks like #Ruslan (who made those videos), #JulyRoys (who reported this and did some investigation), who are part of the #Christian community are how a lot of these stories are brought into the light. It's dangerous to conflate what the church has done with what God and true Christianity is like. Harmful churches such as these distort the image of God and are extremely harmful.

    (There's a lot more to your post that I won't respond to as it's not particularly relevant to the overall discussion, but I hate seeing God misrepresented.)

    There are a lot of mischaracterizations of what I said in this thread too. I'd recommend you take a look at some of my other responses, stating for example that how she seems to have behaved towards the principal or whatever his position is was far more appropriate because she argued her position rather than calling him names.
