A sermon delivered by Pastor John MacArthur has been labeled “hate speech” by YouTube.
Pastor MacArthur delivered a message Sunday about Biblical sexuality – part of a nationwide campaign to draw attention to Canadian legislation that would silence pastors on LGBT issues.
Five years in prison for pastors who preach against the LGBT agenda.
So Pastor MacArthur encouraged pastors around the nation to stand in solidarity by preaching from their pulpits about biblical teachings regarding LGBT issues.
“There is no such thing as transgender. You are either XX or XY, that’s it. God made man male and female. That is determined genetically, that is physiology, that is science, that is reality,” MacArthur said from the pulpit.
“This notion that you are something other than your biology is a cultural construct intended as an assault on God. The only way you can address it, honestly, is to say, ‘God made you and God made you exactly the way He wanted you to be. You are not only fighting God in His physical creation, you are fighting God in His sovereignty. You are fighting God in His spiritual relationship to you,” he explained. “This is a war on God.”
MacArthur said they must be met with love and affirmation to be all God created them to be.
“On the one hand, the reality of that lie and deception is so damaging, so destructive, so isolating, so corrupting that it needs to be confronted, but on the other hand, that confrontation can’t exaggerate what already exists, which is a sense of feeling isolated in relationships.”
And it’s true.
But YouTube removed the clip and sent me a message saying the pastor’s sermon was hate speech.
“Our team has reviewed your content, and, unfortunately, we think it violates our hate speech policy,” YouTube wrote to me. “We’ve removed the following content from YouTube: ‘There is no such thing as transgender. You are either XX or XY. That’s it. – Pastor John MacArthur.’”
In other words, YouTube affirmed the Canadian law by banning any opposition to transgenderism on their platform.
And it won’t be very long before the sex and gender revolutionaries target the source of our beliefs – the Holy Bible. I foresee a day in American history where Bibles could be confiscated or rewritten to affirm the LGBTQIA lifestyle.
Jenna Ellis, special counsel for the Thomas More Society Special Counsel, successfully represented Pastor MacArthur with Los Angeles ordered his church to shut down during the pandemic. She condemned YouTube’s censorship of the pastor’s sermon.
“The big tech oligarchy in the United States is implementing the equivalent of Canada’s insane law by censoring truth and the right of pastors to teach the Bible,” she told me. “If Americans don’t stop big tech, this new Regime will circumvent the Constitution to foreclose our fundamental rights to speak and exercise religion and the impact will be devastating.
“I stand with John MacArthur and all pastors across the world who are simply standing firm and teaching biblical truth and I will continue to fight to protect the Church in America,” said Ellis who is now a Newsmax contributor.
Americans should be preparing for a time when pastors and religious leaders will face persecution for teaching the Word of God.
As I wrote in my book, “Culture Jihad: How to Stop the Left From Killing a Nation,” there’s a very real possibility that one day Democrats and their godless minions will imprison people like John MacArthur for doing what the Canadian pastors are doing — preaching the truth.
Regardless, as for me and my house, we stand with Pastor MacArthur.
HD Editor’s Note: Why Is This News Biblically Relevant?
Last Sunday, 4,000+ faithful Pastors in Canada and the United States stood united against a new Canadian law that effectively bans Christian evangelism to those in the LGBT lifestyle. Many US Pastors took this stand, in part, knowing that radical agendas that start in Canada often venture down into the United States shortly after.
Although this radical law has not yet fallen upon the entire United States, it seems that Big Tech platforms have taken it upon themselves to enact their own “conversion therapy ban” by censoring Biblical truth regarding sexual morality on their platforms.
Lest anyone think that this is simply a clash of political policies, we must understand that this is not left versus right, this is good versus evil, satan against God.
Ephesians chapter six states: “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
This vital truth is further exposed when we consider that the attack is on the Gospel itself. The left is actively recruiting people, specifically children, to a life of sin apart from God, while simultaneously attempting to ban the saving Gospel from being preached to them.
2 Corinthians chapter four explains that “the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.”
Despite the increasing persecution and hostility to the Gospel, it is the job of Christians to continue speaking the truth in love to those that are lost.
Ken Ham in his article discussing Bill C-4 wrote that he is praying “that believers across the West, as persecution looms, will resolve now to stand for Christ, no matter the cost, continuing to lovingly declare his truth and the gospel message in a dark and dying world.”
