Was in a church that had a legalistic bent like his for years. Have escaped. Signed the document.
The irony is that traditional Christianity HAS NEVER PREACHED THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST. Jesus preached the gospel, he sent his apostles forth to preach the gospel but the church has never preached the gospel.
Jesus said “repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.”
That was the gospel. That is what the apostles went out preaching. Not that Christ was dying for your sins and would resurrect. This is the gospel of traditional Christianity but it is not the gospel of Jesus.
So McArthur and all these big guys have fallen into the tradtions and doctrines of men bin. Wish someone would just read the actual scriptures.
How is he “legalistic”? Specifically? And if you could define “legalistic,” that’d be helpful as well.
