this is the interview that put pastor
John McArthur on the most wanted and
hated list of the governor of California
I would just like to ask the mayor as a
practice practicing Catholic do you
believe the Bible is the word of God
yeah look Pastor I'm not going to get
enough theological debate with you now
that's not a theological debate that's
just a straight question do you believe
the Bible is the authoritative word of
God yeah with respect I guess I do now
then the Bible says when God created man
he said one man one woman cleaved
together for life that's a family in
Fast Forward 19 years later the mayor is
now the governor of California in John
MacArthur would him an open letter
regarding the sin of homosexuality and
abortion I had written letters before to
the state congress about certain
homosexual issues
but it seemed to me when when the
governor decided to quote Jesus to
support abortion
that he had gone off the edge and I I
was terrified for his Eternal Soul and
this is how John Piper reacted to John
mccarthur's open letter to Governor
Gavin Newsom so I'm back to my question
so what happened and you just said what
happened he quoted Jesus
to support the slaughter of babies and
it just pushed you over the edge
well this is going to be interesting in
Discerning the governor of California
has been in politics for the past 20
years and he tends to support everything
that is anti-christ and ungodly
homosexuality transgenderism and
abortion you know I'm a practicing
Catholic I got married in the church two
plus years I guess that makes him a
Christian right this interview aired in
CNN on the Larry King show about 19
years ago where John McArthur was
invited to talk about the issue of gay
marriage John MacArthur what is the
irreparable harm of gays being married
well I think there are a number of
things that we need to talk about one is
it would destroy the family I mean
obviously
God designed a family to be a man a
woman to produce a child it is the DNA
it's the genetic structure of
Civilization now come to think of it CNN
does not do that anymore I don't
remember the last time when they invited
a Biblical Pastor on CNN besides Joel
Osteen who does not know anything I
don't know you know I didn't really know
I don't I don't understand all the
answers and I don't know I just to me I
don't know that well I don't know if I
look at it like that I don't know that I
understand it all so I don't know I'm
saying it again I don't know and I don't
know
I don't know all in all CNN stopped
inviting solid Biblical pastors we will
talk about Jesus Christ and call out sin
for what it is remember that time when
they cut up this NFL player because he
mentioned Jesus and sin one too many
times there are sin that's in US makes
us do those things and the only the only
salvation for this sin is the gospel the
only way to really cure that was on the
inside is understanding that Jesus
Christ died for our sins and so to me on
a micro level it's understand
nope and just like that we lost him yep
I guess we lost him that is exactly what
happened when you talk about Sin and
Jesus in front of the world they get
uncomfortable they cut you off and you
never get invited anymore and that NFL
player made sure that the name of Jesus
Christ was proclaimed the gospel
presented and sin was exposed until CNN
had enough of him and cut him off to me
on a micro level
it's understood
nope and just like that we lost him but
if you want to talk about a false Jesus
they will be happy to do that watch Don
Lemon blaspheming the character of Jesus
Christ but here's the thing Jesus Christ
if you believe in if you if that's who
you believe in Jesus Christ
admittedly was not perfect when he was
here on this Earth Yep this is CNN for
you anyways back to where we were John
MacArthur after that 2003 interview I'm
sure landed on the most hated and wanted
list of the governor of California I bet
he remembers this moment to this very
day because John MacArthur called out
his hypocrisy as a woman Catholic who
supports homosexuality back in 2003 as a
mayor 19 years later he became the
governor of the state he still supports
homosexuality he now supports
transgenderism and also abortion I mean
not only support he subsidizes it he
welcomes every woman of all tongue
tribes and Nations to come to California
to have an abortion and he also had the
audacity to include a Bible verse with
that horrible invitation the irony of it
all is that he is a woman Catholic who
ought to know better one would think for
a leader to do such a thing and put it
on display for every eye to see that
shows you the level of the poverty of
the state in that person well John
McArthur did catch a glimpse of that
billboard and he would an open letter to
the governor of California we're not
going to read the letter but I'll show
you a clip of John McCarthy and what he
had to say about this issue in a q a
during the Puritan conference a few
weeks ago the church has to speak
gospel truth
we have to do this we have to talk about
righteousness
self-control and judgment to come what
Paul told Agrippa
that God has a righteous standard
you have exhibited the inability to live
up to that standard you are under
judgment
we don't have the we don't have the
political power
to move the government
the only hope for a government is the
only hope for a quiet and peaceful life
and godliness is to pray for the
Salvation of the ruler First Timothy 2.
so it just struck me
that I hadn't seen this done
and I mean we've done things like that I
had written letters before to the state
congress about certain homosexual issues
but it seemed to me when when the
governor decided to quote Jesus to
support abortion
that he had gone off the edge and I I
was terrified for his Eternal Soul
I had met him I did a Larry King program
with him
um
I mean I don't know if that's too far I
don't know what God has in mind for him
but the people following him a whole
state full of people and all the people
around him in government
I I felt the the only weapon that we
have
is
is righteousness
sin or self-control and the threat of
judgment and to call them to Salvation
it probably should have been done sooner
I probably should have done that maybe
years ago
but Zeal for your house has eaten me up
you know the psalmist said and then
Jesus quoted that when he cleansed the
temple
and I it just seemed to me that I
couldn't
I was I was just shocked that a man
would use the words of Jesus to support
the slaughter of the ones who are
created in the image of God
so it activated that
um
and my goal I I would I'm praying and
our whole church is praying that that he
would bow the need of Christ and be
saved
I don't think there are political
Solutions
and I think what happens when people try
to find political solutions they
compromise
and this is how John Piper reacted to
John MacArthur's open letter to Governor
Gavin Newsom in principle that it's
right for any Christian to speak the
word of God if the Bible says something
say it
say it at the PTA meeting say the Town
Square say it at the legislative meeting
say it wherever you are say What God
Says
and and then you distinguish feeling we
we don't necessarily move in behind that
spoke and and use every political agency
possible to coerce that event that's not
what you're saying so I'm back to my
question so what happened and you just
said what happened he quoted Jesus
to support the slaughter of babies and
it just pushed you over the edge what
Obama said in 2013 was this
he said
I want my daughters now they're little
girls at this time I want my daughters
to have as much reproductive Freedom as
men
do you know what that means sure
I want them to be able to have sex as
much as they want with no consequences
like boys don't have any consequences
and the only way that girls can have no
consequences is abortion that's the
issue I want my daughters to have free
sex I was so furious at that treatment
of his daughters that that just pushed
me over the edge so there's I don't have
any any
formula here for when a pastor gets
pushed over the edge
I I really do want to discourage you
from being over the edge every Sunday
this is what happens when God abandons a
nation people become more and more evil
our society has become overly sexualized
and pornographic and I still can't
believe that the majority of 39 million
people will live in California voted for
men whom they know support the
mutilation of The Unborn the Bible says
in second Timothy 3 13 but evil people
and imposters will proceed from bad to
worse deceiving and being deceived I am
saddened that he's leading Millions down
the path of Destruction he persecuted
the church and made them go through
unimaginable pain to keep their doors
open during the lockdown meanwhile all
the bars and nightclubs were open for
business Governor Gavin Newsom does not
care about the people of the State of
California but the good news is that I
know a man who cares I know Shepherd
will protect I know an advocate who
intercedes I I know a redeemer who
Forgives I know savior was saved I know
a man who can wash away your sin and
cleans you of all uncleanliness and
unrighteousness he will give you peace
with God and the peace of God in his
name is Jesus Christ do you know him
today that is my question for you he
alone can satisfy your soul he alone can
give you life real life life and
abundance call on him today before it's
too late he is ever closer to those who
call his name for salvation he is the
Good Shepherd he is the Redeemer he is
the Lord Jesus Christ who will forgive
your sin transform your heart and give
you a new name repent of your sin and
put your faith in him and at this moment
