NO! He does not!
"And I did the right thing as a Berean, I got the word out on MacArthurj’s heresy."
You are not a "Berean". Nor are you testing what someone says against the scripture. You are making up something they didn't say, testing THAT, and then pretending they are therefor wrong. At no time does John MacArthur say it is OK to take the mark of the beast.
Can a man who has raped 3 little kids repent and be saved? Yes! Does that mean it is OK to rape little kids? OF COURSE NOT!
Here is the text: the deceiver is MacArthur... compare what MacArthur says to the eternal Word:
“Now, the question is: IF you are living in the tribulation period and you take this mark, in other words you identify with the beasts empire (emphasis mine), will you still be able to be redeemed? And I think the answer to that is YES! Yes!”
;;;;
And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

Where does God say there is the possibility of redemption after you take the Mark of the Beast?
Why is this so difficult for you to understand?
Even MacArthur's employees can't adequately explain this...
Finally, and then I’m out, MacArthur says you can be redeemed after you take the Mark.
The Bible says “Nope”.
End of story.
