    This makes me sad. It could so easily have been our family. We got our mother out of a nursing home 1 or 2 weeks before the lockdowns. If we hadn't, she would have died in a week. She died earlier this year. At least she was able to be at home. The abandoning of sick/dying people and their families was the cruelest part of all of this. There will be an accounting one day before Christ. For those who know Him, they did not die alone. Christ was with them and then received them Home. I am glad your father is now with the Lord. He will NEVER suffer again. Hang on to that.

So much information about everything on the church. I was like Mike about the dilemma on Romans 13 and never heard of the term "Eransism" (I know I'm spelling it wrong and can't find the correct spelling; the thought of God>State>Church) and that blew my mind. I knew that the church wasn't under the state but didn't know the term. Anyway, this was amazing. When is part 2 coming out? lol Thank You Lord for this wonderful gift and showing us how the church is suppose to be.

    YES! I hope they do feel guilty! I am just an ordinary woman, church attender, and I will never stop feeling ashamed of my own cowardice during this time. For the most part, there has been zero repentance for what was done during that time. Everyone is just pretending none of it happened. I feel like I'm going crazy because I know it DID happen. How can we just pretend we are back in 2019? There are many people who never did go back to church at all! Some walked away from God. Some still do "online church", which is not really church at all. I am not talking about those with serious health issues who can't make it outside. That is a sad reality and I know that. I'm talking about able bodied people who always went to church but since 2020 have not, by choice.

    Some of us who have not gone back to a physical church is bc we realized at that time our church didn't just make a mistake, they were wolves in sheep's clothing. They upped the Bethel and Elevation music; they upped the theatrics. They became New Age or NAR. They embraced homosexuality and women pastors. I long for and keep praying for a church here led by true God fearing men.

    I think Pastor John is one of our world’s most faithful men of God..I have learned so much under his teaching of the truth of God’s Word. I am an RN in the state of Alabama and I did witness death after death…it was really a horrible time..the likes of which I had never seen in 25 years. People dying alone with no family members except the medical staff with them.. it was truly a time of despair that seemed to have no end in sight. I nearly lost my husband and son in law both to covid. With that being said… my church covered my family with prayers, love, and support beyond words. Pastor John is right… if ever a time the church was needed to stand strong and be faithful to show the world that Christ is our hope and peace thru anything that comes our way.. this was an appointed time in history for that. Satan tried hard to shut the body of Christ down.. but the victory is already won. Even though Covid was a terrible virus that claimed countless lives.. I do believe the powers to be used it to manipulate people every way they could. I am looking forward to seeing this. Ty Justin for all you do. I have learned so much from you as well. God bless you!

    I can't even imagine what medical workers endured during that time. I hope your husband & son are doing well now. I'm glad you were in a faithful church. It still boggles the mind that we shut down at all! (I do understand it at the very beginning when no one knew the severity.) This was a time when we needed each other the MOST! The extent of the suffering will never be known. So many people fell back into addictions, committed suicide, had illness worsen because they were unable to get to doctor appointments. Many lost their businesses and/or their homes. Many have never recovered from those financial blows. It's horrible. And no one seems to care! I was one of the more fortunate ones. But I still was alone for two years. I don't know how I even survived. 2022 was a blur. I feel like I'm barely coming out of it even now. It was like a bad dream. I lost my church and all my friends there. I still have not recovered.

    So so grateful to Lord’s faithful and bold saint, my beloved Pastor John MaArthur, who steadfastly stood against the whole world, against evilness, against lies, against all odds to stand firm, stand up and stand out to speak up and to uphold The Truth in The Lord and The Gospel. Hallelujah. THANK YOU Pastor John ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I was all awed by Pastor John’s decision to keep Grace Community Church open during the lock down periods in 2020. Praise God. Every church in my nation was closed but only Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, California was opened! Praise God. That’s how I worshipped Lord with GCC and followed Pastor John’s teachings since then! Soli Deo Gloria. Thank You Lord for raising and keeping Pastor John and Grace Community Church. It shall be His Church who is still standing when Lord returns! Hallelujah 🎉🪅🎊Amen. Will wait for the DVD to be released so that I can get to watch and will also want my local church to watch it so that she can live up and out and loud for Lord Jesus like what Lord has raised and kept and grown Grace Community Church to be - His True Church! Hallelujah.

    Love John MacArthur's sermons. I watch them all the time. Because most churches in this country shut down, the only church I can go to now is online, such as Grace Church. I do like it that he wants pastors to feel guilty for shutting down. I lost faith in the church, in general, because of all the shaming and finger pointing that occurred to all of us who were unvaxed and not wearing masks etc. In other words, it seems that the church reflects society and accepts all the junk going on from the pandemic to LGBTQ vs living by faith. There is no place to go to church where I live since I cannot fit in and trust others in a Christian community. It seems that most gave in to the gov't. I believe the pandemic was fabricated from day one of it being on the news...this is based on previous experiences working for the gov't.

    I'll be honest...though I see Dr. MacArthur's point about "give and inch and the govt will take a mile"...I did always think the use of N-95's in meetings would have been better. As a CNA, I bathed a lot of deceased patients who died from this disease. I was really concerned for his church when they refused even masks. Please don't get me wrong, I LOVE Dr. MacArthur and his preaching is strong and sound. I've always been edified by his sermons and I respect him tremendously. But I will DEFINITELY be seeing this movie if it's in any theatres close to me, heck, I'll even drive a couple hours to Houston if I have to!! I want to support films like these. But maybe seeing the film will help me better understand Dr. MacArthur's stance. This interview has already. Thank you. (Oh, don't know why KZread isn't using our names anymore. I'm M. Leanne Todd.
