The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country.

John MacArthur/The Master's College

Partners with Roman Catholic Mormonism Promoter






When we were doing research on John MacArthur, we discovered Arthur C. Brooks spoke at the Mormon Brigham Young University (BYU) in Utah.

In the February 24, 2009 video of Brooks, he starts off by quoting the New World Order’s, John D. Rockefeller in a good way. Around the 26 minute time mark he starts quoting the Book of Mormon and then tells a story where he is not only promoting Mormonism but sounds like he wished he was a Mormon. Here is the video link on the BYU website to watch the whole message Arthur Brooks delivered there.

http://www.byutv.org/watch/f478258a-1b80-43c7-8d35-eeaebb47d510/byu-forum-address-arthur-c-brooks-22409

Shortly after the BYU appearance on November 10, 2010, Brooks is partnering with John MacArthur/The Master’s College to be a part of a new institute at The Master’s College. Here is the video link to watch the whole Arthur Brooks/John MacArthur/Jack Cox video at The Master's College event -





http://www.cfnp.org/Page.aspx?pid=420

The guy introducing Brooks & MacArthur is Jack Cox who is a VP at the college. Jack Cox is the founder of The Communications Institute and the founder of the Foundation for American Communications where he boasts of the funding coming from the New World Order’s Rockefeller Foundation and Ford Foundation, among others.

When Jack introduced Arthur Brooks, he stated Brooks’ connection to the Ford Foundation.



http://wms.communicationsinstitute.org/about/contact-the-staff/john-e-cox-jr-/

As you can see below, The Master's College is still promoting Arthur C. Brooks as of the time of this article nearly 3 years later.



Be sure to see the video where John MacArthur states you can take the Mark of the Beast and still be saved -



Here is the link to the article we did on the above video -

http://ephesians511blog.blogspot.com/2013/10/john-macarthur-outrage-take-mark-of.html

Conclusion

What can we say about John MacArthur partnering with a Roman Catholic Mormonism promoter that quotes the Book of Mormon? John MacArthur is not the guy many thought he was.

John MacArthur is not stupid by any stretch. John has had almost 3 years to discover Arthur Brooks spoke at BYU and said what he said. Do we really believe John has no idea about Brooks? Certainly Jack Cox knows. These men are not stupid.

So where is the Holy Spirit that leads to all truth with John MacArthur & Jack Cox?

Really, just the subject matter being presented by Arthur Brooks and John MacArthur is so earthly.

I think of the verse in - 

Philippians 3:18-20 - "For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.
20 For our conversation (citizenship) is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ”

   What about John stating you can take the Mark of the Beast and still be saved? How many people are going to do that after hearing John MacArthur, Jimmy DeYoung & Brannon Howse say that?

We need to obey Jesus. This is probably the worst time in human history to be trusting men that claim to be Christians and have a lot of influence.

How are these guys being promoted on a planet under Satan's authority? How much money and power is being wielded by these guys?

Why would the Lord want John MacArthur partnering with Arthur Brooks who quotes the Book of Mormon, boasts of Rockefeller, and also have John state you can still be saved after taking the Mark of the Beast?

Ask yourself this question - 

Would the Lord or Satan say it's OK to take the Mark of the Beast and still be saved?

The Lord is not a part of whatever John MacArthur is doing, that is obvious.

Matthew 24:3-4 - "And as He sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto Him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of Thy coming, and of the end of the world?

4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you."

My Encounter with John Macarthur
by Bob Johnson on 10/25/13

About two years ago and just two weeks prior to Macarthur's Pastors' Conference, I went to Grace Community Church and spoke to Macarthur.  I'd never met him before and I went up on a Sunday night and waited in a long line after his sermon to speak with him.  Because he'd never met me before, I knew that he wouldn't be on guard and I thought that I'd stand a good chance of catching a glimpse of the real Macarthur.  I still remember it like yesterday.  I asked Macarthur the following:

 Bob:  Dr. Macarthur, will Al Mohler be speaking at the upcoming Pastors' Conference?

Mac: Yes, he will be.

Bob:  Do you know that he leads 2 NGO's of the UN?

Mac: Al Mohler would have nothing to do with any organization connected to the UN.

Bob: The Southern Baptist Convention is an NGO of the UN with Special Consultative Status.

Mac: The SBC is in no way connected to the UN.  What is the other organization?

Bob: Focus on the Family.  Mohler is its Vice Chairman.

Mac: I know Jim Dobson and he would have nothing to do with the UN.

The next Sunday night I went to Macarthur's sermon again holding evidence in paper form to prove what I had said about Mohler, Focus on the Family, and the SBC the previous Sunday night.  Soon after his sermon ended and as I got up to get in line I noticed several security guards speaking in their mikes and converging around me.  There were at least 6 of them and I wondered if I should I just bolt out or stick it out and I decided to stick it out and see what would happen.  When I met Macarthur he said first loudly, "I know you." And I said that I came to show him proof that he was wrong in what he said  previously.  Then he looked at my 10 or so pages and said each time in a sarcastic, condescending tone, "Oh, I see you are right about that--yes, you are right."  The charade continued for about 5 minutes as the guards had me totally surrounded.  Then the guards asked me, "Are you Bob Johnson?"  And when I replied in the affirmative, the leader told me to leave and never come back or I'd be arrestedThey then escorted me to the sidewalk out in front of the church and when I got on the sidewalk, Macarthur's main bodyguard told me, "You just say one word and you'll spend the night in jail."  It was obvious to me that it was no empty threat.  I then just walked across the street and got in my car.  I called a Christian pastor I know from my car and told him what happened and he said to me, "Bob, you better get out of there before they put a bullet in your head."  What a testimony for a man considered by many to be the greatest preacher in America.  As a side note, I believe that Macarthur stands at the same place after every sermon and so all his conversations are audio and video taped.  I believe Macarthur is also wired for sound.  GCC is a real police state church. 

So now I've seen first hand that Macarthur is a bold liar.  I hope Christians wake up and see the truth about their heroes like Graham and Macarthur.

Quote
I remember John MacArthur giving the best message on Hell I had ever heard called the Furnace of Fire from 1982. I remember listening to that message every single day for almost 2 months back in the summer of 2009, each time it was like hearing it for the first time it was so powerful. Back then never did I realize the possibility of John MacArthur not writing that message but just delivering it. Back then I gullibly didn’t realize that some of these guys were just delivery systems for other people’s messages. This is how many of these guys have crept in, they just have a nice personality and masterfully deliver messages that are written by other people.

Again, I’m not saying John MacArthur doesn’t write his own material, but something just isn’t lining up.

Acts 8:9  But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:
Act 8:10  To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.
Act 8:11  And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.


Acts 8:18  And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,
Act 8:19  Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.
Act 8:20  But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
Act 8:21  Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.
Act 8:22  Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.
Act 8:23  For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.



From my experiences listening to some of these "sermons" in these Babel church buildings - yes, even some of these "pastors" ended up preaching a lot of truth in their sermons. However, something just felt MISSING b/c it would leave you spellbound. On the contrary, when you read scripture, you're left with a much different feeling...edification.


Acts 8:27  And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,
Act 8:28  Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.
Act 8:29  Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.
Act 8:30  And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?
Act 8:31  And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
Act 8:32  The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:
Act 8:33  In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
Act 8:34  And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?
Act 8:35  Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.
Act 8:36  And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
Act 8:37  And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
Act 8:38  And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
Act 8:39  And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.
Act 8:40  But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.

Hey MacArthur, why don't you tell these parents to train up their children in biblical principles to begin with!

Proverbs 22:6  Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Pastor Says Parents Should 'Alienate' Gay Kids, 'Turn Them Over To Satan'

A California pastor apparently thinks telling parents of gay children to "alienate" them and "turn them overt to Satan" is sound advice.

John MacArthur of the Grace Community Church in the San Fernando Valley responded to a question from a listener on his "Grace to You" show who asked how to react to an adult child coming out.

"If that adult child professes Christ, claims to be a Christian, then that becomes an issue for confrontation of the sternest and strongest kind because that falls under Matthew 18," which discusses dealing with sin in the church. "If they profess to be a Christian, you have to alienate them, you have to separate them. You can't condone that; it's inconsistent with the profession of Christ. So, you isolate them; you don't have a meal with them; you separate yourself from them. You turn them over to Satan, as it were as scripture says."

MacArthur does clarify that his advice is for parents of Christians. Parents of non-believers, he says, should bring the Gospel "compassionately, directly, confrontationally" to "expose that sin and all other sins, and call that person to salvation and repentance."

Anabaptist author Benjamin Corey of the religious blog Patheos challenged MacArthur's statements as hypocritical, since he targeted sexual "sinners" while disregarding others, like the greedy, idolators and drunks.

Wrote Corey:

    I’m just glad that I worship Jesus –- not MacArthur (or even Paul himself!). Jesus is the one who religious conservatives hated because instead of shunning, he had meals with people. The drunks. The hookers. The swindlers. You know, the kind of people we’re supposed to shun. This is precisely why we are to make Jesus -- and nothing else -- the center of our faith and practice. Because it is through Jesus we find that sharing a meal, not alienation, is what love looks like.

MacArthur's remarks might not come as a surprise to those familiar with his sermons. Back in 2012, MacArthur condemned the Democratic party for supporting what he refers to as the "homosexual revolution." This "revolution" came about, he claimed, because God abandoned the nation and "unleashed on the world the horror of AIDS." At the time, he defended this position as "love speech."

This is from bro Scott's End Times Current Events newsletter he sent out recently - only glanced through it(as there's LOTS of stuff here). Apparently, MacArthur has some deep ties to spiritual wickedness in high places.(and he's done a masterful job Hegelian Dialecting with the Emergent Church minions)

Very good expose by Bryan on this - very slick, giving the appearance you're standing for biblical truth, then turning right around quietly and pushing the same things the Emergent Church is doing. Both MacArthur and Rick Warren are from Los Angeles, so no surprise there. Wouldn't surprise me if they're both good buddies behind the scenes.

Some of the so-called online "Apologetics" ministries staunchly support MacArthur too...very fishy...

John MacArthur Is Dead Wrong Saying That Tribulation Saints Can Take The Mark Of The Beast And Still Be Forgiven And Go To Heaven, They Can’t

Listen to me people, because your eternal soul depends upon it. If you miss the Pretribulation Rapture, and are reading this during the time of Jacob's trouble, do not take the Mark of the Beast, or have anything to do with the image, name or number of the Antichrist. Do not worship him in any way, shape or form. You will be executed and beheaded for your refusal to do so, but you will spend eternity in Heaven with Jesus for your faithfulness. But you need to know that God will not, under any circumstances, forgive you for taking the Mark of the Beast or worshipping the Antichrist, that is the one sin that God can not and will not forgive you for.


John MacArthur from Grace To You ministries is wrong, do not take the Mark of the Beast, or have anything to do with the image, name or number of the Antichrist.. God will not forgive you for doing it.
by Geoffrey Grider   February 18, 2020

If you miss the Pretribulation Rapture, and are reading this during the time of Jacob’s trouble, do not take the Mark of the Beast, or have anything to do with the image, name or number of the Antichrist. You’ll burn in Hell if you do.

A number of years ago, John MacArthur from Grace To You ministries was asked if someone living in the time of the great Tribulation could take the Mark of the Beast and still be forgiven by God and go to Heaven. MacArthur said that yes, absolutely, they could be forgiven for taking the Mark Of The Beast because ‘God is a forgiving God’. Wow, dead wrong. But that was 2013, and I thought maybe in the 7 years since making that heretical statement, that John MacArthur had perhaps meditated on that position and recanted. As it turns out, he has not.

“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, 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: 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. Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.” Revelation 14:9-12 (KJB)

I just got off the phone with a woman named Melina at Grace To You ministries, asked her about the article you see below called ‘Unforgivable?’, and inquired if perhaps John MacArthur had had a change of heart. She cheerfully and quickly responded with “no, he has not, there is no update to that article or to his position”. And there you have it, John MacArthur says that someone in the great Tribulation can take the Mark, ask God for forgiveness and still go to Heaven. Dead wrong, this where you land when you don’t rightly divide.

“And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.” Revelation 20:4 (KJB)

Listen to me people, because your eternal soul depends upon it. If you miss the Pretribulation Rapture, and are reading this during the time of Jacob’s trouble, do not take the Mark of the Beast, or have anything to do with the image, name or number of the Antichrist. Do not worship him in any way, shape or form. You will be executed and beheaded for your refusal to do so, but you will spend eternity in Heaven with Jesus for your faithfulness. But you need to know that God will not, under any circumstances, forgive you for taking the Mark of the Beast or worshipping the Antichrist, that is the one sin that God can not and will not forgive you for.

“But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.” 2 Peter 2:1 (KJB)

The time of Jacob’s trouble with its corresponding Tribulation period is not the Church Age, you are not eternally secure in that time, there is a sin that God will not forgive and I just told you what it was. Don’t commit it. Someone please forward this article to John MacArthur, and pray for him to repent of this deadly false teaching.
Unforgivable?

FROM GRACE TO YOU MINISTRIES: Several years ago in a live Q&A session, someone asked John MacArthur if taking the mark of the Beast during the Great Tribulation would be an unpardonable sin. His answer, in short, was no. Though there is a stern warning against taking the mark of the Beast in Revelation 14, the sin is not categorically said to be unpardonable. (That would contradict Matthew 12:31.) The point of the severe language in Revelation 14 is to make clear what an utterly reprehensible sin it will be to swear an oath of willful loyalty to Antichrist.

Someone posted John MacArthur’s reply to that question on YouTube with a melodramatic one-word title in all caps: “OUTRAGE.” Gossip-mongers on the Internet got hold of it, apparently, and within days someone wrote to our ministry saying, “I saw pastor John on a YouTube video saying the way to be saved in the Tribulation is to take the mark of the Beast.”

Well—no. If someone listens to Pastor MacArthur’s reply and imagines he was saying it’s no great sin to receive the mark of the Beast, listen again; that grossly twists what he actually said. The question is not (as one writer suggests) “How Far Can You Go and Still Be Able to Repent?” The point John MacArthur was making is about the extremes to which God’s grace will reach in order to seek and save a sinner.

Yes, Revelation 14:9–11 says, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is mixed in full strength in the cup of His anger; and he will be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever; they have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.” Clearly, receiving the mark is a sin that will send those who commit it to hell.
John MacArthur Says God Will Forgive Taking The Mark Of The Beast, But He’s Dead Wrong

In direct and obvious defiance of the plain teaching of scripture, John MacArthur makes the shockingly dangerous claim that someone can take the mark of the beast and worship his image – and still make it to heaven.



But the Bible also says, “Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God” (1 Corinthians 6:9–10). In short, all sin carries the threat of eternal doom, and some particularly heinous sins have a built-in hardening effect that makes them particularly dangerous. Scripture occasionally singles out common sins that have this peculiarly soul-destroying effect.

On the other hand, only one very specific sin is ever said to be unforgivable. Any sin that is repented of is forgivable. Immediately after declaring all fornicators, drunkards, and swindlers unfit for heaven, the apostle writes, “Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God” (1 Corinthians 6:11). After saying, “Whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven,” Jesus famously forgave Peter, who denied Him before men.

Jesus Himself said, “Any sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven people, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven ” (Matthew 12:31, emphasis added). The one unpardonable sin was the sin of those who had seen His miracles with their own eyes; they knew He was the true Messiah; they were part of the generation to whom He was personally sent. And yet they attributed His powers to Satan. That was unforgivable because it was such a hard-hearted, willful expression of utter rejection from fully enlightened hearts, who punctuated their rejection with an extreme blasphemy. Those Pharisees had stood in the presence of the living embodiment of all truth; they heard His words and saw His works. All the mysteries of Christ had been unveiled before their very eyes. And yet they spurned Him. There was nothing else that could be shown to them to enlighten them further. They were not deceived; they knew full well what they were doing. That’s why their sin was unpardonable (cf. 1 Timothy 1:13).

Revelation 19:20 indicates that multitudes will take the mark of the Beast because they are deceived. Scripture does not say that they are thereby automatically hardened forever against repentance. That is not the point of the strong warnings.

This whole issue suddenly became a matter of intense controversy when it was mentioned on a provocative radio program. It’s certainly not worth all the ink that has been wasted and all the bandwidth that has been consumed by angry people demanding explanations and retractions.
