He is very diligent in exposing the pseudo-Christian plague among us. MacArthur and Begg are getting caught up in this mess. Probably due to lust for money. Supposedly MacArthur has a net worth of $14 million, a salary of $400,000 (pastor salary alone) plus other revenues and allowances so all totalled approx $1,000,000 per year.

I prefer to listen to comics.
You are in bad company. Satan too is laughing right along with the damned souls of men. Both will soon be crying.

I think the only way to pinpoint error is by comparing each ministry to the historic Ecumenical Creeds. These are tested and proven correct by centuries of debate. And they clearly reveal the heresies in today's churches. I personally do not stray from them but test my understanding of scripture against them. You can spot error long before ever being taken in by it.

Are you wanting to discuss the videos on the Servus Christi channel, or criticize prominent Christians?

Precisely. Watched a GTY COVID-19 video recently, and within 60 seconds JohnnyMac asked for money. What he didnt say was that all of the GTY top brass are making $150-$250K salary. Furthermore, most of us are now unemployed (so how could you dare ask?), but their salaries remain unaffected. The pitch was "for missionaries"......but the virus has shut ths down as well.

I suggest an immediate 50% salary reduction!

Or compare them to the robber baron RC clerics. Most of the frauds on the SC channel are the scum of the earth....liars and predators.

People are out of work and need money, but some preachers will still try to get as much money as they can from the saints, and heap money to themselves.

2Pe 2:2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
2Pe 2:3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.

1Ti 6:5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
1Ti 6:6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
1Ti 6:7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
1Ti 6:8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
1Ti 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Some people think that living for God is money for their wants, but the love of money is the root of all evil for it neglects the poor and needy, and love is the fulfilling of the law.

And some preachers scam like Jim Baker saying he has a cure for the coronavirus and selling it.

Like Dionny Biaz saying if they donate 200 dollars their children would be protected from the coronavirus.

That is a scam if they say the money is for missionaries but the coronavirus is causing them to not do their work.

Act 2:44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common;
Act 2:45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.

Act 4:32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.
Act 4:34 Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,
Act 4:35 And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.

Act 20:33 I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel.
Act 20:34 Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.
Act 20:35 I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

If all the preachers were like they were at the early Church so many people would have their needs met, and the preachers would only go by their needs.

Isa 56:11 Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.

The apostasy in the church, especially by the most famous, being pointed out and held against scripture is a sounded trumpet to keep us aware and able to heed the warning of our Lord that we "be not deceived". If anything, we need more like Servus Christi. Do I agree with everything he has to say?.. 98%

I definitely agree that there is a lot of apostasy in the church. However, I also think that Servus Christi is "barking up the wrong tree". He is calling out those preachers and teachers who have solid reputations for preaching & teaching sound doctrine.

SC has even called out YouTuber Chris Roseborough (YouTube channel "Fighting For the Faith"). Roseborough is a Lutheran pastor from Minnesota who does his best to preach from the Word and one of his catchphrases is "context, context, context".

I haven't actually watched SC's videos myself, but it seems to me that he should also spend time telling us who he believes the true teachers are. As an example, the Apostle Paul certainly spent a lot of time calling out false teachers and false doctrine. However, he also told us what the truth of the Gospel is.

I have a sneaking suspicion that SC believes he's the only "true teacher" out there.

:cautious:

If you haven't watched any of his videos, how do you know he has called out this Roseborough fellow? I've never heard of him?

A faithful pastor would never allow his congregation to grow into a 'megachurch', because there's no way he can shepherd a flock of thousands. So it's blatantly obvious that those who pastor mega churches are, money loving wolves.

I saw MacArthur being interviewed on one of those prime time TV shows a couple of years ago, and that told me that he's an apostate right away. Because there's no way those big TV shows would ever invite a true Christian on their program, but they love false preachers because they're a part of the Antichrist system just as the TV stations are.

MacArthurs early years (80s-90s) were fruitful IMO. Unfortunately, he and too many others want expansion (and the $$$$$$ that go with it) at any cost. When you havea payroll where mid-level pastors are earning $150K and up from there, your Church becomes a cash cow for the management at the expense of missionaries etc.

MacArthur is teaching that those who take the mark of the beast and worship his image can still be saved. What bible is he reading?

Well my friend... Apostasy has to be from truth right? I guess you can turn away from one error to another... I think a lot of wrong thinking that leads to apostasy comes from the mindset that calvinism frames... forcing a man made template over truth.

If a teacher or preacher was once teaching and preaching the truth and then turns away from those truths... That is apostasy... and our scriptures tell us the church will fall into that state in the times before the end of this age.

Yes, I watch him, quite informative. I just think sometimes he goes a bit overboard with the 'guilt by association' schtick.
He used to also link up with Jacob Prasch who I also enjoy.
