John MacArthur Tells Beth Moore to 'Go Home,' Says Bible Does Not Support Woman Preachers
When Influential pastor John MacArthur thinks of preacher and author Beth Moore, he thinks she should "go home."
Speaking at the "Truth Matters Conference" meant to honor his 50 years in ministry, MacArthur, fellow pastor Phil Johnson and a small panel of other men were asked to play a word association game. The moderator starts off the game by asking MacArthur what he thinks when he hears the name of Beth Moore.
MacArthur responded saying, "Go home!"
"There is no case that can be made biblically for a woman preacher – period, paragraph, end of discussion," the 80-year-old preacher added to roaring applause.
When Johnson was asked about what word he associates to Beth Moore, he said "narcissistic."
Johnson then recalled the first time he saw Moore preach. He said upon seeing her, he thought, "This is what it looks like to preach yourself rather than Christ."
MacArthur then spoke up again only to further criticize Moore along with the #MeToo movement.
He said, "The #MeToo movement, again, is the culture of reclaiming ground in the church.
"When the leaders of evangelicalism roll over for women preachers, the feminists have really won the battle," he added before the audience broke out in applause.
"The primary effort in feminism is not equality" he continued. "They don't want equality, that's why 99 percent of plumbers are men. They don't want equal power to be a plumber, they want to be senators, preachers, congressmen, president, the power structure in a university. They want power, not equality," MacArthur asserted.
The long-time preacher's comments sparked widespread outrage among other Christian leaders over the weekend.
Southern Baptist Convention President J.D. Greear, took to Twitter on Saturday, and speaking directly to Moore wrote, "Dear Beth Moore, you're welcome in our home any time."
Singer, author and wife of pastor Matthew Chandler, Lauren Chandler, wrote on Saturday, "When I hear the words 'Beth Moore,' I think 'good and faithful servant.'"
Pastor Brandon Cox also commented on the situation writing, "The host says, 'Beth Moore.' And a man who is supposed to be a model of biblical manhood and spiritual leadership responds, 'Go home!' And a room full of men laugh. This is sad. It's unbiblical. But it's the fruit of arrogance."
Preacher and Christian Counselor Kyle Howard also chimed in writing, "I have lost all respect beyond Imago Dei for John MacArthur, Friel, & Phil. To hear them mock, degrade, & publicly slander a sister in Christ like this is wicked. To hear a crowd of pastors laugh is disgusting. This is utterly shameful."
Beth Moore has yet to respond to MacArthur's and Johnson's comments.

JA can be rude sometimes or at least he comes across that way.
Even if people don't believe in women preachers, they may rally for her just because of his meanness.

I've seen him on another panel like that making fun of the way 'we' worship, etc. Just all kinds of judgmental stuff.

He is 80? One day soon he will actually know the truth, and it may not play out well for him. He is not the picture of God's love at all. He is just as stiff and mistaken as the saducees and pharisees during Jesus' earthly ministry.

He once said that speaking in tongues was of the devil. I heard him say it on his radio program. He also said this in his book Charismatic Chaos but later printed an edited version.
The man lives in his own private idaho.
