The DAMNABLE HERESY of John MacArthur

Two quotes from John MacArthur's website article entitled, "The Blood of Christ" with my response from scripture. Herein you will see him completely say one thing and then turn around and contradict himself by saying something else. Would I be looking for perfection in a finite man teaching the scripture? Of course not. But the words of MacArthur are most certainly from a spirit of antichrist according to the Holy Scriptures. Read MacArthur's words for yourself:

"And so Jesus Christ passed through heaven number one, heaven number two and entered into heaven number three and God didn't tell him, "Look, You've got 24 hours to get this over with and get out." When He got there, what did He do? He sat down. It was done. It was accomplished. He made a perfect atonement for all sins for all time and all other sacrifices before that were but pictures of that perfect sacrifice. The ascended resurrected Christ carried Himself past the two outer heavens into the abode of God and when He got there He sprinkled His blood on that divine, eternal, heavenly Mercy Seat...and you know what? God said, "I am satisfied forever." ~ John MacArthur

"Keep in mind that when I talk about Christ sprinkling His blood on the Mercy Seat, I'm not saying He literally sprinkled His physical blood on some physical object in the heavenlies. I believe the writer is speaking in a symbolic sense. It is an illustration which pictures the atoning effect of Christ's death on the cross. His death was foreshadowed in the action of the High Priest sprinkling blood on the Mercy Seat in the Old Testament era. Christ offered Himself to the Father as a sacrifice for sin. In that sense, He fulfilled the picture of the sprinkling of blood on the Mercy Seat." ~ John MacArthur

MacArthur's words on Jesus' blood are clearly antichrist because Jesus took his LITERAL BLOOD to heaven and literally SPRINKLED it on the mercy seat in heaven. Mac says it was only "symbolic." But it is the old Greek Platonic lie of antichrist that separates matter from spirit. Matter is not spirit neither is spirit matter but they are not separated from each other; spirit is behind matter. What I mean is Jesus rose again in a PHYSICAL BODY. He still has the SCARS- the holes in his hands to prove it. Jesus is coming back in a literal GLORIFIED BODY. JESUS IS the first GOD man = only begotten from the dead. See the lie of antichrist denies this and it isn't just someone denying that Jesus came in the flesh. It goes much deeper than that. There are many more quotes I could take from MacArthur's own website post that show that he believes Jesus' blood is only SYMBOLIC of his death. This is DAMNABLE HERESY!

1Jn_4:2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

1Jn_4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

2Jn_1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

Demons can confess that Jesus Christ came in the flesh but there can be much more to it that just mere confession of his first coming in a human body. This can have a lot more to do with his ascension. You see what I am saying? The spirit of antichrist is crafty. I see now that MacArthur actually does not confess that Jesus Christ came in the flesh by denying his FIRST BODILY ASCENSION into the heavenlies to RECEIVE HIS GLORIFIED BODY.

This is why the Apostle John warned about abiding in the DOCTRINE of CHRIST and we must abide in ALL of JESUS' teaching:

Again read:

2Jn 1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

2Jn 1:8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.

2Jn 1:9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.

2Jn 1:10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:

2Jn 1:11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

Heb_9:12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but BY HIS OWN BLOOD HE ENTERED ONCE INTO THE HOLY PLACE, having obtained eternal redemption for us.

Jesus literally entered heaven and SPRINKLED his blood on the LITERAL MERCY SEAT. He then received his glorified body. It was at this point when he had come back to earth that Thomas was then allowed to touch him.

Joh 20:17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.

Joh_20:27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.

Joh_7:39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not YET GLORIFIED.) Jesus had two ascensions. One after he rose from the grave to receive his glorified body and then again prior to Pentecost.

Heb 9:22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

Heb 9:23 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

Heb 9:24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:

Even Charles Spurgeon taught that Jesus took his blood to heaven. What MacArthur is teaching is the opposite of what Spurgeon and others have taught. Here are a few quotes from Spurgeon:

7. C. H. SPURGEON (1834-1892)

Spurgeon has often been called "the prince of preachers." He was the author of the largest sermon set in the English language. 

In a sermon given on February 28, 1886, Spurgeon said:

"When we climb into heaven itself…we shall not have gone beyond the influence of the Blood of sprinkling; nay, we shall see it there more truly present than any other place. 'What!' you say, 'the blood of Jesus in Heaven?' Yes! Let those who talk lightly of the precious blood correct their view ere they be guilty of blasphemy…For me there is nothing worth thinking of or preaching about but this grand theme. The Blood of Christ is the life of the gospel" (C. H. Spurgeon, "The Blood of Sprinkling," February 28, 1886, Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit, reprinted by Pilgrim Publications, Pasadena, Texas, volume 32, p. 121).

Again, Spurgeon said:

"If you or I had gone there without atonement of blood, heaven would have been defiled. But the Lord has gone there, and has sprinkled His blood on the mercy seat" (C. H. Spurgeon, "Our Lord's Entrance Within the Veil," #2,074, Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit, volume 35, p. 145).
And here is a third quote from Spurgeon:

"It [the Blood] is said to be sprinkled within the veil, so that where the high priest could go only once a year we may now go at all times, for the blood is there, interceding for us perpetually" (C. H. Spurgeon, "The Saviour's Precious Blood," #3,395,Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit).

Thus, both the resurrection and preservation of Jesus' Blood were preached by Spurgeon, for he said, "We shall see it there more truly present than in any other place. 'What!' you say, 'the blood of Jesus in Heaven?' Yes!" That's what the most famous Baptist preacher who ever lived believed! Quotes taken from here:

WHAT CHRISTIAN LEADERS ACROSS THE CENTURIES SAID ABOUT CHRIST'S ETERNAL BLOOD

Here is a link to a PDF of Spurgeon's sermon where some of the quotes were taken from:

OUR LORD’S ENTRANCE WITHIN THE VEIL

MacArthur's teaching is a crafty lie from satan. It requires true discernment to see it for what it really is. I hope many wake up and turn away from this imposter who is causing just as much error, though many cannot see it.

Please watch my video. I discuss the dangers of being in agreement with false teachers and their heresy in greater detail:

Partakers with Error Will be Judged

The Two Witnesses Part 1

Who are the two witnesses?

The book of Revelation speaks of two witnesses who perform mighty signs at the closing of the end of time. Just who are these two witnesses? We have been taught by many in Christendom that these two witnesses are Moses and Elijah or Enoch and Elijah; the speculations go on and on.

(Note: Many have taught that these two witnesses are Moses and Elijah because of 2 of the 4 signs these two witnesses are able to perform. Many have also taught that one of the witnesses is Enoch because the book of Genesis reveals that he was taken while alive. Many have taught that one of the witnesses is Elijah because he was taken alive in chariots from heaven. Some also teach that it will be Moses and Elijah because of their appearance on the mount of transfiguration. (See Genesis 5:24, 2 Kings 2:11, & Matthew 17:1-4)

Excessive amounts of money has been made in “Christian” book stores off of mere speculation being fed to God's people as absolute truth. Many swallow it up without studying for themselves and they become so indoctrinated that they will not even search the scriptures to see if what these so called teachers have taught is actually true. The Grant Jeffreys, Jack Van Impes, and the Hal Lyndseys of our day have gotten filthy rich off twisted interpretations of end time prophecy. It is gullible and foolish to just accept the words of man without looking to see if these things are actually taught in scripture. This writer does not believe these two witnesses are merely two men who stand in Israel; no not at all. Many so called prophecy teachers have sought to interpret a spiritual text with the natural mind. The Bible itself is only understood by the illumination of the Holy Spirit. Many shy away from the book of Revelation, feeling perplexed by the often seemingly hard to interpret symbolism. Of course, the book of Revelation is the mind of God and no man knows it all. But God has promised that he would lead his people into all truth. God is the revealer of mysteries and he certainly reveals his secrets to his holy apostles and prophets. Often what he gives to the prophets, he gives to his people at his divine time.

Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. -Amos 3:7

How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; -Ephesians 3:3-5

But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. -Revelation 10:7

The book of Revelation is cryptic, in a sense, but God does not withhold his revelation from his people at his appointed time. In fact, the book of Revelation states that the one who reads, hears, and keeps the things written therein will be blessed. (See Revelation 1:3)

Let me say again, I strongly believe that these two witnesses are not two singular end time prophets but are in fact many who are chosen by God to do his bidding. They may very well may be two groups of believers chosen out of two of the seven churches described in the 2nd and 3rd chapter of the book of Revelation. I believe the word of God reveals what I have said thus far.

The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches. -Revelation 1:20

And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. -Revelation 11:3-4   
* (Note: These two candlesticks were first mentioned in the book of Zechariah chapter 4 )*

When reading of the two witnesses in Revelation chapter 11, we discover that these two witnesses:

• Breathe fire upon their enemies 
• Stop the heavens from releasing rain
• Turn the waters to blood 
• Smite the earth with all manner of plagues as often as they will

And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed. These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will. -Revelation 11:5-6

This writer believes that these witnesses are NOT Moses and Elijah but many prophets of God who operate in the spirit of Elijah and Moses. Please do not misunderstand me when I say spirit that I would mean that they are reincarnations of Moses and Elijah. No! That is not what I am saying at all. What I am saying is that they will move in the POWER (anointing) that Moses and Elijah moved in. This power will be given by God at his sovereign decree as he has already foretold in scripture. Malachi prophesied that Elijah would come again before the day of the Lord:

Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: -Malachi 3:4

We find Jesus words when the disciples asked him regarding Elijah:

And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias (Elijah) must first come?
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.
But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them. Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist. -Matthew 17:10-13

John the Baptist was not literally Elijah. He came in the calling and the spirit (power) of Elijah the Prophet.  Although John's ministry accompanied no signs and wonders, the end time prophets ministry will. John's calling was to preach repentance and to believe on the one to come of whose shoe strings he was not worthy to unloose. John the Baptist was the forerunner to prepare the way of the Lord Jesus Christ. These end time prophets will also be forerunners preparing the way for the glorious second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.

What else could Jesus have meant seeing that we know that John the Baptist was not a reincarnation of Elijah? We should already know that reincarnation is not Biblical. But to state that theses witnesses will move in the power (anointing) of Moses and Elijah is not far fetched when taking into account the events of Elijah and Elisha. Elisha asked Elijah for a double portion of the spirit (power or anointing) of Elijah. Some of the meanings of the Hebrew word for spirit are wind, breath, and life. (See 2 Kings 2:9-12)

Again from the book of Matthew we see Jesus confirming that John the Baptist was a fulfillment of the prophecy in Malachi:

And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.
But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.
For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.
He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. -Matthew 11:7-15

Not only was the prophecy fulfilled from Malachi, it will be fulfilled again in greater measure! I believe this prophecy was either partially fulfilled or a continual prophecy to be fulfilled. Often times prophecy in scripture can be speaking of a time that was, a time that is now, and a time that is to come. It can be what I would now like to call a near/far prophecy or a now/near/future prophecy.

Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter; -Revelation 1:19

*(Note: Prophecy can often be 2-fold, 3-fold, and even 4-fold or more. Prophecy is the mind of God! As we see in Revelation 1:19, Jesus is telling John to write what he has seen, the things that were then -ARE-, and the things which will be in the future. Keeping this in mind will help you to not isolate Biblical prophecy into just one view, be it historical alone or futuristic alone.  Prophecy can have a literal application and a spiritual application at the same time. In scripture God can be addressing a king through the word of the prophet and also the prince, (angelic stronghold of satan or satan himself), set over that particular king. There are several examples of this. One example is in Ezekiel 28:1-19 where we find the prophet addressing the Prince of Tyrus and it is evident that this is addressing satan with its references to him being the anointed cherubim that covered the throne of God and him being in the garden of Eden. Elsewhere in the Old Testament, we can see references to a literal King of Tyrus. God can be speaking to the loftiness of the pride of that king and also the devil who is behind that pride. Consider Jesus words when he rebuked Peter saying,"Get thee behind me satan." Surely we know that Peter was not satan himself. (See Matthew 16:22-23) We also have prophecies in the Old Testament of literal Israel at that time and spiritual Israel known as Zion, the Daughter of Zion- the kingdom of God which makes up all the true people of God.)*

Continue reading in part two where this writer will explore the possibility that these two witnesses are a large company of end time prophets who will nourish the woman, (the body of Christ), in the wilderness with the words of their prophecy before being killed by the beast kingdom.  The Two Witnesses | Part 2
