John MacArthur

As always I urge you not believe a word that is written in this thread but rather be a good Berean and find out for yourself in Acts 17:11......For GOD in Pro 25:2..(KJV).."It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter."

Not sure I agree with all this and not sure I am a fan of Calvinism in some aspects, but this was very educational and excellent presentation

Hi Mark...let me ask you a question. I know you believe in God's WORD yet you do not appear to believe in the Doctrine of Calvinism. I personally do not believe in everything Calvin stated. The Words of GOD tell us everything that are in the five points of Tulip.

You do believe in Free-Will and so do I. How does GOD reconcile Free-Will and His Predestined (the Elect) doctrine.   I do not know but each time i think about them, I come closer to an answer. One day, maybe.

Another question for you my friend?

Do you believe a person that has salvation and the Holy Spirit can stray away from God so much.....so much that Jesus would utter these words to Him/her, "I know you not" when the Rapture happens?  (Ten Virgins, Mat 25)

There are parts of Calvin I agree with.  But overall I would not categorize myself as a Calvinist.

I struggle with all of the things you asked.  My issue is I have no good answer to any of those.   If I started trying to type and answer I would be writing and deleting for a few hours trying to find a good answer of my own.  Like you maybe someday I will be able to give a solid reasonable reply.

In the meantime let me think about it and I will try.

Lol mark,,, I see you are on the right track. prayer will help. If it helps, Paul did not know either....Gal 2:20.....

I am not sure my answer was a solid reply for I still have questions that I keep trying to find the answers but this election vs Free-will I have come to the conclusion I believe both of them to be biblical and my pay grade is not high enough to answer how God resolves these two issues.

Ass MacArthur once said: "I feel your pain"

Oh, by the way, did you know that MacArthur took 45 years and went through the NT word by word, verse by verse, references to the OT by reference.

Not many will do that but it is the only way to get the truth out of His Word. The more I read and apply  literal , historical, grammatical, synthetic hermeneutics, the more literal I get.

Amazing the time he spent.  He has one of the few commentaries series that does not push an agenda, but a belief.   
45 years, just amazing.

yes, it is and as you have said, the only thing He pushes is the WORD (S) of GOD and His authority and sovereignty

Good insight Mark.

Blade
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.


A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;

3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;

4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;

5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)

6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.

7 Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

8 Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;

9 Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.

10 And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless.

11 Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things.

12 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.

13 For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

14 These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly:

15 But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
