Bible Note: Joe As for MacArthur you read into what I said. I said what Horton describes in his book is what MacArthur calls cheap grace. I didn't say MacArthur evaluated his book and this was his comment. I don't even know if MacArthur ever read the book. I mentioned the number of books sort of tongue in cheek. But none of the books you used to repute what I said are birthed in Arminianism but rather in the pit. Probably because of people who keep getting things mixed up about the doctrines of grace and then broadcast their misconceptions...know what I mean? The fact that modern evangelicalism is characterized by poor theology all the way around (does WOF ring a bell?), it shouldn't surprise us that God is raising people up to call the evangelical church back to its Reformational roots. Now you have hit the nail on the head. If the church doesn't rid itself of this false teaching I suspect Jesus will spits it out. See we can agree sometimes :-) EdB |
