🙂 I wish I kept in touch with this string 4 months ago and saw your post, Ken. It put a smile on my face….people putting words in other people’s mouths, just makes your comments less valid.

Do you not understand otrotierra’s point? the point is that thousands of churches are capable of complying with the health orders and showing caring for their congregants and others outside the congregation, by working to stop the spread of covid-19. Why can’t MacArthur do the same thing?

Further, you are saying that if MacArthur did hold outdoor services it would be “just for the beauty of it”, not out of concern for his fellow man? Seems yours and otrotierra’s opinion of MacArthur aren’t as far apart as you think.

Good example of how things get out of proportion: Linn, your negative speculation spreading half-truths and gossip. Shame on all of you.

Those thousands and thousands of churches you mention that have complied are DEFINITELY WITH complication AND complaint!! I’m supposing you do not attend church. If you did, you would know this difficulty first hand. John MacArthur has a huge following and it required a large buidling, etc. You must understand that…..requires no explanation. And btw, he probably holds outdoor services sometimes, just like “thousands upon thousands” of other churches, just for the beauty of it:)

I love replies like these…..you’re trying to sound intelligent, but you repeat a mantra you must have heard somewhere and you think it makes you sound brilliant: “self-serving self worship (WHAAT??!!??) at the direct expense of others”. FYI: he is not forcing others to attend worship – they go on their own accord. You may want to return to church. Wouldn’t hurt but the sounds of your comments:)
