This post was written long ago by a former partner. And while we understand that no one will agree with any one man 100%--we do however not agree with John MacArthur over much and disagree over practical and basic doctrinal stances. Thank you for your comment. :)<br /><br />~The FFYB TeamThe FFYB Teamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1465729359534655583.post-44061662495529329452015-03-05T19:45:06.326-08:002015-03-05T19:45:06.326-08:00If you research the endnotes in John MacArthur’s b...If you research the endnotes in John MacArthur’s book, Slave, you will find that most of them reference the heretical works of Gnostic, modernist and postmodern scholars who deny the fundamental doctrines of the Christian faith. Many of these scholars are rabidly anti-Christian and their works, which MacArthur recommends as authoritative, are filled with slander and blasphemy of the Lord Jesus Christ.<br /><br />For example, John MacArthur favorably references Dale B. Martin’s book, Slavery as Salvation, on page 38 because it likens the Christian life to the abusive institution of slavery in the Roman Empire. Dale B. Martin is Professor of Religious Studies at Yale University, an admitted homosexual and author of a blasphemous book titled Sex and the Single Savior which portrays Jesus as a homosexual. John MacArthur never discloses Prof. Martin’s true identity in Slave.<br /><br />Another scholar whose translation of Gnostic writings is recommended by MacArthur is Bart D. Ehrman, Distinguished Professor of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Prof. Ehrman is a New Testament critic who claims that he was an evangelical Christian until he discovered “errors” in the Bible. Dr. Ehrman now writes books which debunk the New Testament and advocate for Gnostic forgeries such as the Gospel of Thomas and the Lost Gospel of Judas Iscariot to replace the New Testament canon.<br /><br />Slave is a best-seller among young Christians who are led to believe that the sources referenced therein are Christian books, or at least neutral historical sources. Theological heretics Dale Martin and Bart Ehrman are only two of many academics of the “Jesus Seminar” variety whose scholarship is recommended without an honest identification or disclaimer to warn the reader. By concealing the identity and agenda of his sources, John MacArthur is deceptively promoting Gnostic books and the Gnostic heresy to many young Christians who are not yet established in the faith.<br /><br />For documentation and detailed information on the heretical sources in Slave, see the following review:<br /><br />http://watch-unto-prayer.org/macarthur-2-slave-book.htmlBarbaranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1465729359534655583.post-25630858125703947062011-03-15T09:22:34.057-07:002011-03-15T09:22:34.057-07:00Mr. John MacArthur- I LOVED your book The Jesus Yo...Mr. John MacArthur- I LOVED your book The Jesus You Can't Ignore.
