Most of MacArthur’s “smears” against the RCC could have come from a book written by an RC that was given to me: Karl Adams’ “The Roots of the Reformation”. A review is in the works.
From the church where Mac teaches:
“My question is, can a Catholic priest actually be saved and remain a Catholic Priest?
John MacArthur’s Answer
Not if he believes the Catholic system. If he doesn’t, if he doesn’t accept their baggage. If he believes his salvation is provided only through grace by faith in Jesus Christ, he could be saved. But, if he accepts the full sweep of Catholic dogma, there’s no way. He has cluttered up the simplicity of salvation with a works/righteousness system. “
An interesting revelation here. Catholics cannot attain salvation. In light of the recent “Does Anti Catholicism Exist?”, and the intensive search for a FR Catholic that consigned a Protestant to hell. Here we have a Calvinist Protestant making no doubt about it. Hmm enlightening lol.
