What is irritating for a person like me who looks for facts is that MacArthur is twisting his — and giving half-truths or putting two facts side by side and making co-relations between them when there is none. What a loon.
I *TRY* to be charitable toward the man McArthur. And, to be honest, *SOME* of his teaching is not bad—though I’m hard pressed to think about what topic.
However, his hostility to God’s miracle working power in this desperately wicked era is borderline blasphemy against Holy Spirit. That’s not a small thing.
I’m far from impressed with his rubber pseudo-logic about such things. I also don’t think his attacks on Billy Graham are warranted.
Graham is so scrupulous that if he got on an elevator going up or down 8 floors alone, and a woman got on 4 floors later, he’d get off at the floor the woman got on.
Anyway—I know a lot of Calvinists revere him as a wonderously great teacher. Yet, to me, he trashes so much of the New Testament in crucial areas, I just can’t respect much of his teachings at all. He does have the horse sense to be a Dispensationalist. LOL.
And, he’s not lukewarm.
