@SCWatchman but that video should have been uploaded on Rumble, not YouTube.
@SCWatchman Many archaeologists and scientists working together came up with this portrayal of Jesus:

King Jesus never looked like this!
Not today, and not 2000 years ago.
It's no wonder that there are so many more women than men in churches.
BECAUSE MEN DO NOT WANT TO FOLLOW FEMININE MEN, and they think King Jesus is feminine because of 1000 years of Catholic portrayals.
Jesus was a man's man!
He was a carpenter in the days when they worked with trees, not 2X4s. With no gloves.
Jesus had brown, tough skin, not delicate white skin.
Jesus never had a halo or a glowing heart stuck on his chest.
Jesus did not have long hair! Catholic artists 1000 years ago confused Nazarene with Nazirite, and they're still doing it. Paul taught that it was shameful for a man to have long hair.
And the feminine hand gestures! Ugh!
I follow the real Jesus, not a girly-man fake!
@DevotionalTreasures The Lord Jesus was abandoned by most of his family, who thought he was crazy. The apostle Paul may have been abandoned by his wife when he was converted (it was required for Pharisees to be married). My first wife left me when I refused to backslide with her. Our Lord said his Gospel would divide families. I'm glad you are receiving true love from the Father in Heaven.
Thinking about the John MacArthur scandals I posted about some days ago...
Every preacher should have people close to him who have permission to...
--ask tough questions at any time.
--investigate any hint of sin.
--inspect his Messenger, texts, and emails at any time.
--disagree with him about any non-essential doctrine or any policy.
I thank God for the people in my life who hold me accountable.
May I never get so powerful in my own eyes that I only surround myself with yes-men.
Re. MacArthur, how rich is too rich? I don't know. But if a preacher is surrounded by the loving-but-tough people I described, he won't get too rich or too powerful.
@Fisherman Thank you! We have been praying about this!
Paul wrote these things in 2 Timothy 3 about future corruption within the Church:
"There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money…slanderous…having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people."
Of course Paul is talking about many people in the whole passage, but I’m convinced that the specific parts I have put here apply to John MacArthur.
(Maybe there are more parts of the passage that apply to him.)
After you read this thorough indictment, I think you’ll be convinced, too.
Hoarding massive wealth (including huge salaries for his part-time positions), nepotism, unscrupulous business practices, hiding financial records, and hypocrisy.

@DevotionalTreasures "Letters To God" (2010) is a great movie!
