The Los Angeles Superior Court on Thursday issued a preliminary injunction against Grace Community Church and Pastor John MacArthur that prohibits the church from "conducting, participating in, or attending any indoor worship services."

Thanks for the link.

Do you have a link for that one sermon a bit ago where he first took his stand against the governor’s orders?

I heard it was a great message about obeying God rather than man, but I was never able to find it at their site.

My prayers are with Grace Community and their pastor and elders in their time of testing. If you see any State buildings turning into pillars of salt, you’ll know why.

I’d much rather just praise the Lord.

Will do what must be done as a last resort but this world sucks anyway and is a drop in the ocean compared to what awaits.

Be in this world, not of it...it’s not worth it

It was also a “peaceful protest” against a tryranical govt denying Americans their right of peaceful assembly.

They are likely to be held in contempt of court even though they are Constitutionally correct under the “void but not frivolous order” doctrine.

We have to be prepared to take any punishment and had best start resisting now rather than wait until we are even weaker.

Clear eyes, leaders. These people are enemies of the church to be resisted. Not sincere civil magistrates concerned about public health. That is at this point a lie from hell.

macarthur has been wrong on several thing

denies the necessity of Christ blood shed on the cross
the blood of Christ
https://youtu.be/vcmUAcIqZxk

Heb 9:12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption [for us].
   Heb 9:13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:
   Heb 9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
1Pet 1:18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, [as] silver and gold, from your vain conversation [received] by tradition from your fathers;
   1Pet 1:19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

the eternal sonship of Christ
http://www.middletownbiblechurch.org/sonship/sonsh05.htm

Mk 1:11 And there came a voice from heaven, [saying], Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

Heb 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

whether people who get the mark can repent
https://youtu.be/iQKxbUamUno

Rev 14:9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive [his] mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
   Rev 14:10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
   Rev 14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

I refuse to listen to him because of these.

I recognize the state tyranny, but lets not idolize someone who is wrong on many levels

Hard to believe what they dared require......which is indeed a shutdown of the Church. Stunning really.

Nobody’s “idolizing” MacArthur, here; they’ve chosen to back him up as his church board has chosen to ride out in the vanguard of a battle that’s affected every church in CA. In that manner, his conversation stands proxy for us all in driving a stake into the Solid Rock and binding themselves to it, come what may.

We may yet see him before a Judge quoting Martin Luther, “Here I stand, I cannot do otherwise. God help me. Amen.” And we ought all be ready to add our own “Amen” to the building crescendo.

Well the first video was just nonsense......playing with the vide didn’t help make the point...which frankly wasn’t made.

Further had Jesus not been victorius in the Garden none of that which followed would have mattered.

There’s a lot of twisting and turning in those links to attempt to discredit him. I don’t buy it.

I watched most of the first linked video and have seldom seen a more biased portrayal. I agree with him: Jesus' shed blood is a euphemism for his death.

Old Testament sacrifices were accomplished by slitting the animals' throats so they would bleed to death. The blood was an important visible and literary symbol of their death--but their death, not their shed blood, was the point. When Scripture refers to blood it means death. Indeed, Jesus bled to death, fulfilling the Scriptural pattern.

This is not hard. To argue otherwise confuses process with outcome and is splitting hairs and sophistry. If your other arguments are no better, your ill-will agenda does you no honor.
