James White: Just Being Silly
Given the heresies of dispensationalism led, at least these days, by John MacArthur, you tell me dear reader: who’s being silly? Or should I say, turning a blind eye? Certainly not I.
Heresy is God’s Word plus something else. And heresy is never more subtle, or dangerous, than when mixed with God’s truth. The sad part is when people swallow it. Worse than swallowing a lie out of ignorance is tolerating it out of ambition.
No James, I’m not ‘unbalanced’, I’m just not silent. It actually concerns me that the majority of ‘evangelicals’ are believing and teaching others a proven lie to the Church. But, maybe that doesn’t bother James White. Maybe the assaults on foundational Christian doctrines like repentance, salvation by faith alone and a host of others just don’t rate his attention….or his voice.
5 Pt. Salt 
I have a great deal of respect for James White, so I am quite disappointed to hear he would respond this way. If Macarthur teaches a second way of salvation for national Israel at the παρουσία- and I am convinced that he does, then this is not silly at all. This is a major soteriological issue.
John MacArthur preaches and teaches the
Gospel!
Sounds like an ad hominem.
An argument based on scripture would be more helpful.
White is the real heretic. He has clearly said that God decrees AND causes every evil act so that it will have purpose. That’s actually blasphemy. And you have a problem with MacArthur?
“I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.” Isaiah 45:7 Gods cause all things. If He doesn’t, He is not all powerful and something other than Him can act outside of His decrees and will. That is impossible. God is the creator and everything else is a creature, even the devil.
God causes… I can t type. Sorry.
God is neither responsible nor sinful, even though He is the only ultimate cause of everything. Justice and righteousness is not a standard external to God to which God is obligated to submit. Righteousness is what God does. Gods causing evil is not sin. Why? Because there is no law superior to God which forbids Him to decree even evil acts.
