https://youtu.be/yLvsOkU_ArE After disinviting Alistair Begg from the Shepherds Conference, John MacArthur was asked in a recent Q&A to respond to the Alistair Begg controversy from a true Scotsman.

Alistair Begg Timidly Canceled From Shepherds Conference

On Monday, I wrote about how unlikely it would be for the Shepherds Conference to cancel Alistair Begg over his comments on homosexual weddings. This has apparently aged poorly as two things have changed. The first is the sermon by Begg attacked American Evangelicalism, thus making the situation worse. The second was that the article […]

Will Alistair Begg Get Canceled From ShepCon?

https://youtu.be/-B2ncMj1XyQ The cancelation of Alistair Begg from American Family Radio was a significant development stemming from Begg’s support for going to a homosexual wedding.

Yes John MacArthur Is Still A Pietist

Mid Eva Playa Haters: G3 vs Right Response

https://youtu.be/fWEutGV1t1g Social media beefs are rarely headline worthy; however, there is a point where the laity are inundated with the pastor’s Twitter debates that are irrelevant to their daily lives. Todd Unzicker exceeded in this during his SBC sermon and Beth Moore did this when she preached. I think this is a possibility with the […]

Does John MacArthur Believe In Loser Theology?

https://youtu.be/tMWUejIikaU The debate surrounding Christian Nationalism has many of John MacArthur’s followers against Christian Nationalism. This comes at a time when John MacArthur’s views on the civil government are not as clear, as he famously changed his position on Romans 13 and Hebrews 10:24-25 in late July 2020. However, the inconsistent teaching of John MacArthur […]

Rachael Denhollander Attacks John MacArthur Over Patriarchal View Of Marriage

https://youtu.be/X4F_-CdSPBA It’s hard to imagine that The Gospel Coalition wrote an article that generated so much feminist backlash that they canceled its writer Josh Butler.
