    I can honestly say Pastor Murray is one of so few that is teaching YHVH's truth, so many are blinded by false doctrines such as the rapture that will ultimately lead them to worship the first one to come pretending to be the true Messiah, Paul in 2thess.2:3 warns us as to who the first one to arrive is, the man of sin, and he will be snaring all he can in his rapture trap.. Paul tells us the true Jesus will not arrive until after that man of sin has been revealed, he will be revealed for who he truly is, noneother than the antichrist, anti- meaning- the "instead of" one, satan himself proclaiming he is Jesus.

    i really like pastor arnold murray.he is a no non-sense, no frills, down to earth teacher. he doesnt beg for money or promise instant prosperity if u send a donation or "seed".he goes thru the whole bible chapter by chapter verse by verse and explains very clearly what each one means.i think he is very sincere and is led by god to bring his word to all who will listen.he doesnt claim any particular faith [neither did jesus when he was teaching].pastor murray brings the word of god to easy to understand laymans terms and answers any and all questions about the bible.i think hes the best of all t.v. evangelists, because hes simple and to the point. hes not promising a get rich quick sceme if u send him money,all the other preachers either prey on desperate or elderly people who are gullable and would be better as a used car salesman or a politician[thats what they all remind me of always promising something or U SEND ME THIS AND GOD WIIL DO THIS]sorry to bust ur bubble god doesnt work ...

    He is the greatest teacher of truth and is well directed by the holy spirit. Watching him has greatly blessed and enriched my life infinity. He has an honest heart unlike other tv preachers that are begging for money to stay afloat on tv and ripping everyone off who will listen to a lie about paying 100.00 for a prayer miracle cloth! How anyone can be mislead into beleiveing rip offs is beyond me but then again everyone doesnt functioning brains to tell whether they pee standing or sitting if they are male! The world seriously lacks common sense and thats where Pastor Murray comes in with the assistance of God to bring it all back. Nicely done servant of the Most high! God continue to bless you and your ministry infinity more for telling the truth to God's sheep!

    Lynn07, Sethlite is correct. The bible says that through one blood (one man) all nations were made. Adam and Eve were made on the sixth day, and everyone came from Adam and Eve. TruLuv is correct. The seed of Eve is spiritual since woman does not have seed, then it is obviously a spiritual seed. Luvlight is correct. Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit can be committed today. If you die in your sins, there's no forgiveness, hence blasphemy of the Holy Spirit cannot be forgiven when you are dead. Repent now and be born again before you die. I've heard Arnold preach about the elect being delivered up to the antichrist, and refusing to allow the Holy Spirit to speak through them was blasphemy. This is completely made up by Arnold Murray, who I know does not believe in God. If he believed in God, he would not preach this junk. Bottom line, Lynn07, all you are doing is spewing junk (Arnold's carnal teaching) and not having any real relationship with God. The followers of Murray hav... Read more

    Hi Alysia79, You said, "He is the greatest teacher of truth and is well directed by the holy spirit." Arnold preaches a carnal serpent seed. The Holy Spirit is not carnal, therefore, you are blaspheming the Holy Spirit. Everyone is born in darkness with a dead spirit. Born Again is to be born from above by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit plants a new seed, a spiritual seed within your soul. That seed grows with God's truth. You have a carnal seed planted in your soul, and now it is growing with worldly truth that dies with the world. You have forefeited your soul to eternal damnation. Albeit, you can change that, repent and be born again from above via the Holy Spirit. If you die with a carnal mind, you will not be forgiven in this life time and in the life to come. Blaspheming the Holy Spirit is unforgivable when you die. Arnold and his followers will die a spiritual death because they were not Born Again (spiritual seed) from the Holy Spirit of God above. You said, "Watc... Read more

    I think Pastor Murry is a great teacher of the bible and explains it very throughly. He gets right to the root of his teachings ( he gets deep ) and I like that about him...Many pastors just skim the bible and tell you what you want to hear.Mr. Murry teaches the truth. His voice is a little shaky and you really have to listen. Mabe that is because he is elderly.When I read the bible on my own without any influance from and preacher, I always wondered why preachers always preached about the rapture I have read the bibe a few times and I have never read that. The first time I listen to Pastor Murry he was teaching that there was no such thing as a rapture. He explained the reason why and that was the way thought and he made a lot sence. He pleases God! I belive that.

    To @lynn07 Hey lynn07, do you realize that you are approaching the scriptures in a carnal (lustful) way, calling the seed of the serpent and the seed of the woman (via man's seed) physical. The seed is spiritual. The planted seed is a spirit that is in your soul. The seed is spiritual, and Arnold preaches a carnal seed. II Peter 2:10 thru 2:17 warns about preachers that approach the scriptures with worldly lust, lusting after the flesh, meaning they preach a physical doctrine such as the physical serpent seed, which is a worldly and lustful doctrine of the flesh. When Jesus quoted John 8:44, He wasn't referring to a carnal seed, He was referring to a spiritual seed. The pharisees were also referring to a spiritual seed in their answer. The seed of Abraham is a spiritual seed (that's why gentiles can be born again of a new spiritual seed from God above, since it's not a carnal seed). II Peter 2:11 thru 2:13 warns about preachers that accuse angels, which are greater in power and might,... Read more

    This man is a liar. He teaches that born again is of the flesh, which is a carnal teaching. Born again is to be born of a new spirit from God above. 2nd Peter warns about teachers that are carnal after the flesh. These teachers walk and talk after the flesh in lust of uncleanness. Mr. Murray fits this precisely. What's disturbing is that they prey and beguile unstable souls that have no background in the scriptures. Quite frankly, his church members are innocent of this, but they need to realize it, repent and get out of this church. Why? Because 2nd Peter 2:17 warns what happens to these preachers, "2:017 These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever." If this doesn't put the fear of God in you, then you might join him. 2nd Peter Bible Quotes: 002:010 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they ... Read more

    I don't think God "gives it all" to any one preacher/teacher. They all likely teach some measure of error. But AM flies far higher than all the rest when it comes to Bible understanding. I love it that God uses a guy like this, who can predictably turn so many people off at first glance (just like the Bible itself) - southern white guy, who often misspeaks or mispronounces words all over the place, evoking some front porch hayseed, when in fact he's sharp as a tack and a student of far more than just "theology". He can also tend to speak somewhat in code, mixing words intended literally with words that refer to types and symbols or analogies, etc. AM is not someone you can "get" in a few lessons. One needs at least several weeks or more to start seeing where he's at. He can also seem a little severe or strident at times, but at heart he's a sweetheart...apart from his "Irish", of course. And studies and films of such topics as Glastenbury and archelogy and of course the all importan... Read more

    Through the teachings of Pastor Murray, YHVH has opened my eyes to His truths and I'm no longer lost in the doctrines of men that I once stumbled around in and I've learned through PM how to study to show myself approved unto YHVH and not men; And I'm no longer just a pew warmer feeling empty when I left the building on Sundays.

    One thing arnold Murray seems to have an exclusive on is: what God likes and how we as mere mortals can so easily offend and piss off God! He constantly peppers his "line by line" reading of the scriptures with his own silly opinions on what God likes and what God hates and doesn't like and how God doesn't like certain kinds of people or very specific actions by people. Did God tell him (Murray) this in private? Murray and his son Dennis are nothing but narrow minded poorly educated backwoods hicks. Murray has no doctorate( if he does it's from a diploma mill) and does not deserve the title of "doctor". He is a proven racist--He likes to use his made up code word for the Jews aka "Kenites". Murray is EXTREMELY anti-semitic and doesn't try to hide the fact. He will never use the word Jews when refering to them unless forced to when reading the Word. He has an extremely warped and closed minded interpretation of creation especially regarding the story of Adam and Eve. This is one area w... Read more

    After reading the dozens of positive reviews, I can ascertain two things: 1. The good reviews are from the Kenites. 2. The bad reviews are from the Barbiites. Let's get this straight, people. This bozo is a Christian. In other words, a pagan. A Gnostic. A dolt. A fool. A splib-licking-douche-bag. An Aryandanite.

    If the dude is for Jesus that's all right. I couldn't sleep one nite and checked him on the tube, like I said I love everybody but he reminded me of the Southern rednecks that chased black people out of the lillie white churches back in the days of Jim Crow. Not saying he was one of them but just that he looks like it. Like I said I ain't there yet just trying to be like my Savior. If he came to my church we could teach him how to really get down and have some church. He might be able to teach us black southerners in what you all call the ghetto how to get more money to build a bigger church!

    John 8:44 is about two spiritual seed lines, not a race of kenites. One spiritual seed line is good and the other bad. The good spiritual seed hears God, and the bad spiritual seed does not. John 8:44 has nothing to do with carnal flesh. It has nothing to do with carnality. One of Peter's epistles explain that false preachers lust (carnal) after the flesh and are not spiritual. Beware of these preachers. God instructs us to repent and come out of these churches, and God will forgive you. All those that hear Jesus, hear the spirit of God.

I try to base my beliefs on facts, or at least real words from the Bible explained by someone with knowledge, wisedom and most importantly (for me) common sense. "MISTER" Arnold Murray does not seem to have any of these important qualities. You could say that Arnold Murray preaches the true word of God, or you could come on back down to Earth and realize that he is a big fat faker. I am not like most Christians who run scared and hide. I am not afraid to think something different or to even question the whole damn thing. But this man is clearly making it up as he goes, or WORSE! My grandmother is the sweetest woman on the planet.

No one in thier right mind that knows God and loves God could not feel anything besides gratitude in listening to a Pastor that does not try and entertain us with personal stories or screaming about a couple of words they took out of the bible. Pastor Murray translates the verses of the Bible to us in away we can understand.He is rightous and clearly has been given the gift of teaching others of Prophecy. I adore him in everyway.God Bless him and his family. Deborah Ray

    Yes, the old wind bag who brags about his courageous stint as a sergeant in the Korean War. Aside from that, Murray still hasn't shown proof that he possesses a doctorate of any kind. The "Dr." is only used as a prop, or stage name. Murray is just an old redneck who resides in remotely populated Gravette, Arkansas. He is often accused of being a racist and having ties with the KKK. He belongs to a sect known as The Chosen Few, an extreme right wing fellowship. Murray even made some end of times prophecies in 1979 that the world would end on a particular date in 1981, and Murray even threatened to pull a Colt 22 caliber revolver from his briefcase when a student of his shouted, "Blasphemy!" "Blasphemy!" at something Murray said. Murray, just a good ol' boy packin' a pistol! My isn't that Christ like! I find Murray to be a cutup.

    I gave him an "ok" rating because he does go through the bible and teach verse by verse. Some of his interpretation however is faulty..especially when he calls praying in tongues "gibberish" and claims that only the gift of speaking in other tongues (languages) as did the Apostles on petecost is of God. He needs wisdom in this area.

    Pastor Arnold Murray teaches the Bible chapter by chapter and verse by verse. He is a true Bible scholar. He is an expert on the Bible- both the Old Testament and New Testament. He is a shining light. Things that didn't make sense, make sense. And he has a great sense of humor. He helps the student really know the living God and the Truth and His promises for anyone who loves Him. Arnold Murray is a blessing!

    If you really want to learn about the Bible in a way that inspires you moment by moment he is your man. You don't have to agree with him as he will say, but he gives you the tools to find the answers. Not the most well loved by other TV Preachers since he does not beg for money from the poor or anyone for that matter. Pastor Murray is more of a teacher and brings the Bible to life for those who want answers in plain down home American English. Give him a chance and you will be glad you did.

    I sat in a rapture teaching church for many years with my friend and her family. When I was 14 years old, I asked my dad about the rapture and he directed me to Shepherd's Chapel. It's one of the best things my dad ever did for me. My eyes were opened to the truth and once the doors of truth were opened, no man has been able to shut them! I asked God when I was a kid to help me understand His Word and now thanks to Arnold Murray, I understand so much. I also asked God to send me a man who shared the same beliefs as me, and low and behold, he sent me a husband that just happened to study with Shepherd's Chapel as well. God is definitely leading, guiding and directing me and my family! I especially love the Q/A segment of the show. If I have a question that's weighing on my mind, I don't have to ask it in a letter, everytime I tune in, my questions are anwered.

    I have studied with the Chapel for nearly 15 years and thank our Father for leading me to his ministry. At first I had doubts about some of his teachings and would call in questions which he would answer. He always says to check out him or any teacher...Well,I did so. I not only checked in the King James and the Strongs,I cross checked with other references. I have not agreed 100% with him but he is by far more correct than any church I have attented. He is very highly rated on here because he feeds his flock. Alot of pastors feel threatened because he does not pass a plate in church,does not beg,and yet his ministry has grown by leaps and bounds.Quit begging,teach chapter by chapter,verse by verse and your ministry might grow. I could care less what Mr Murray did in the 50's,or that he pulled a gun on someone interrupting his bible study.No charges were filed because he had every right to do what he did.

    I have studied the bible all of my life and have been decieved by many doctrines, denominations and pastors. Most preachers today want to tell feel-good stories about their "aunt Margaret", or try to be stand-up comedians. And If they can entertain you, maybe you will keep coming back. Rarely can you find a church that preaches straight from the bible. Murray is a diamond in the rough!!! He doesn't make his living off of church tithes and he isn't a slave to the tax-exempt status. Neither is he ruled by a "church board" of elders who can vote him out when he says something they disagree with. Kudos to Murray for not preaching the "prosperity" message of most (the more money you give, the more God will bless you). He isn't trying to erect fancy buildings, colleges, or extravagent church "wings". He hasn't fallen prey to the silly "rapture" doctrine, the so-called SECRET coming of Christ (Revelation clearly describes how the second coming occurs and it will be in the clouds for ALL to se...
