What is Wrong with John MacArthur? 

Macarthur's major fault is that he very often puts his own opinions forth as the only meaning of verses. That is dangerously close to making himself out to be God

Thank YOU! John MacArthur and his teachings destroyed my family. My family disowned me because I was a "sinner". We were not raised that way. Maybe it isn't him, but his teachings have misled many Christians who maybe are misunderstanding or misquoting him. All I know is my sister belittled and robbed my dying father and told me I was going to hell because I don't "bear fruit". If I could describe Christianity in two words it would be "love'" and "forgiveness". They don't have either. They paid 10,000 a semester for my niece to go to his "Master's College". She ended up in India as a baby machine pumping out kids under the guise of "missionary work" then accused my father of not giving enough money to their "church". I almost lost faith in God because of their beliefs. I saw these good christian people become like the pharisees. Judgmental, scripture twisting hypocrites who take the splinter out of their brother's eye with a beam in their own. Many will be fooled. This video is so dead on to what I have experienced. I am terrified of church because of this so called modern christian movement. Satan is the author of confusion and I was never confused until my sister met John MacArthur and embraced his teaching. As the video states, he puts lines on salvation. How much fruit is enough? How much sin is too much? What he is really questioning is the blood of Jesus Christ! (i.e. it's strong enough to cover my minor sins, but yours are too big?!)

I noticed RU-vid algorithm pushes McArthur like crazy

Most of the Christians in the community I live in are not well versed in Calvinism, and don't really care to learn much about it. Tulip? That's a pretty flower Springtime flower. And guess what? They are fine Christians, with a heart for the simple, saving Gospel of Christ. I'm all for deep thinking and growing in the knowledge of the fathomless Gospel of Christ, but I'm of the opinion that judgment day will see a lot of theology books burned to a crisp.

I’ve always heard MacArthur was wrong about a bunch of stuff doctrinally but it seems like it comes from people making generalizations and taking his comments out of context. I’ve always heard “ he is a calvanist”, but when I’ve heard him he is very edifying and genuinely in pursuit of the truth. He isn’t popular because he follows fads or trends, he is popular because he has in-depth study that takes sweat and labor to get answers.

Too much time listening to teachers over listening to The Teacher will always lead to problems.

Jesus wants you to CHOOSE Him! "If anyone CHOOSES to do God's will, he will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own." Jn7:17......Please CHOOSE Him today, I did!

He might go to jail but he will still go to heaven according to these guys doctrine. You can't judge his fruits, sin, or heart.

After watching this video, I can tell what is wrong with JM .... absolutely NOTHING!

Just ran across this video. Poor John seems just an angry (now) old man kind of full of himself. Discounting all of the wonderful deeds of the Holy Spirit around the world doesn’t make it not real. I remember J McGee got to say he was sorry for saying all of the Pentecostal and Charismatic movements were well... from Satan! Not sure how any of us are going to do when we stand before Jesus! Trusting in grace and lots of mercy.

Just ask John MacArthur this:

Finally...another one in the minority who doesn’t blindly worship John MacArthur!

You go to God in your own wedding garments. I will wear the righteousness of Christ alone.

A surprisingly fair and well thought out response. You managed to discuss the issue without vilifying the person

Thank you for this video;however, I needed this conformation seventeen years ago. My ex-wifes pastor was under the direct teaching of john Mcarthur senior and her parents know this man personaly . I have personaly experienced these inscidious lies first hand when my wife was told to divorce me because I was not saved and she was unequally yoked in her marrage furthermore that if a person behaved or thought as I did that I never was "saved " to begin with. These people have a warped mindset.

You said, p"eople are sanctified"? Isn't sanctification a continuation after justification?

Absolutely it include ME. I'm a miserable sinner and but for the grace of God I would have continued on in my blindness. Amazing grace is amazing. I once was blind but now I see. I'm not the one claiming to save myself by free will. I believe I'm saved by God's free grace alone. I didn't even know I was lost until God convicted me of my sins.

You can never win the lost ones to Christ by debates and arguments.

Can anyone help me on this?
