John MacArthur Condemned By Friends & Himself
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uY9fmUgkRLk ^ | August 5 2018 | Servus Christi

John MacArthur has stated that one can take the mark of the beast, worshiping Satan and his image, and still be saved.

The Bible says the exact opposite.

He is exposed here as condemning himself unwittingly.

His friend and partner Phil Johnson of Grace to You along with Chris Rosebrough of Pirate Christian Radio and Fighting for the Faith also join in condemning MacArthur.

This is the fruit of personal favoritism; blind irrationality. John MacArthur propagates a damnable false teaching that is simply a lie. His sycophants Phil Johnson, Todd Friel, Justin Peters, etc. have all defended him saying that there is only one unpardonable sin; only one blasphemy of the holy spirit. After this, they all have some explaining to do.

See Jacob Prasch confront this teaching: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efHvk...

I know people whose lives have been devastated by MacArthur's guilt-inflicting Calvinism. And the fact that he cuts out the gifts of the Spirit from the Word, and that his family tree is rife with Freemasons (and I believe he went to Fuller Seminary?) even though he's preached against the Masons (but never takes the time to discuss his family's high ranking Masonic line)... makes for a weird and sad "fruit" out of his church in my opinion.

I'd heard about this sermon of his and I think the video of MacArthur saying that a person can take the mark and still be saved is somewhere on the internet. I believe I've seen it.

Without knowing who he was when I was a young Christian, I would instinctively switch the radio channel whenever I heard MacArthur's self righteous, guilt inflicting voice.

Not believing the gifts are for today is a huge error that negates the Prophet Joel and Peter at Pentecost.

P.S. I don't know who this guy in the video is. I don't think it is wise to repeat false doctrine, as he repeats John MacAthur's words and his employee's words... makes for a confusing video... I'm only posting because MacArthur's statement about the mark of the beast is insane.

It is very unwise to espouse/repeat hearsay....

...how dare you!

John McArthur would NEVER say this!

I started realizing his heresy years ago and no longer listen to him.

John MacArthur’s cessationist teachings are heresy pure and simple. He throws the baby out with the bathwater rather than teach others to be discerning. He needs to repent of this grievous sin.

As a young Christian many years ago I had a wise mentor who warned me about MacArthur. He said Mac reminded him of a sign outside an Amish blacksmith shop: “Twisting and Turning Done Here.”

Did macArthur say that if one is a Christian and takes the mark of the beast he is still saved...or that one who takes the mark of the beast and subsuquently believes in Christ then that person can be saved?

MacArthur is solid as a rock and isn’t afraid to speak the truth. Looks like a lot of people can’t handle the truth.

Are you being sarcastic? I thought I was referring to the guy who did the video, that his argument against MacArthur was sound but repeating MacArthur’s logic for preaching you can take the Mark of the Beast, and still be saved, was itself unwise.

He said if one is a Christian and takes the Mark he can still be saved.

While we don’t know why this is, I tend to believe that the “Mark” is not just a computer chip, but will have something to do with changing a person’s DNA somehow;

thus Christ’s strict admonition against taking the Mark. You will lose your salvation if you take it, if you ever had it.

Yes !!! John MacArthur is solid. This guy is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Seen is vedio’s of others who are strong in faith condemn them too.

I've seen the fallout from his ministry and it ain't pretty.

Plus he preaches absolute heresy here. BTW, there are TONS of videos of this false teaching.

I quit listening when, in order to defend Calvinism, he said, “God’s foreknowledge is an action..” He needs to buy a dictionary, and quit ignoring the mountain of scriptures that disprove Calvinism.

"Is there going to be a witch hunt on Calvinists now????"

With all the Caths, Methods, and Episcos here, is it any wonder? No doubt they'd soil themselves if they had to listen to more than 2 minutes of Sproul.

His cessationst teachings are spot on. That's not a bathtub and that's not a baby in there.

MacArthur is teaching that a Christian can take the Mark of the Beast and still be saved.

This is insanity as well as heresy. Probably just another Freemason like his father and grandfather, purposely leading the sheep to slaughter..

MacArthur isn’t responsible for your guilt - you conscience is.
