The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum A-Millenialism

Here's the deal... MacArthur's Progressive Dispensationalism is certainly "flawed teaching" from one who embraces Amillennialism. It's very foundation, along with every other premillennial system, flows from a flawed hermeneutic and a forced eisogetical reading of Scripture.

whether that necessitates a "false gospel" is an entirely different matter. IF one were to be consistent, I suppose, and carry through the teaching of Progressive Dispensationalism to its logical end, then it probably would result in another (false) gospel. The important question to ask, however, is... Does John MacArthur and his followers of his system teach a false gospel? For example, is there any evidence that he teaches there are two ways of salvation; one for the Jews and another for Gentiles? Does he teach that salvation is through faith alone by grace alone in Christ alone, or synergism; faith + works for Jews and/or Gentiles? Do you see what I'm trying to establish? Many, if not all of us, are sometimes inconsistent in our theology. This is NOT to say that those inconsistencies excuse the errors held. What I am saying is that let's not accuse anyone of something they are not guilty of doing/saying. There are a number of very outspoken individuals on the Internet who do this very thing and wrongly judge the brethren and even consign them to eternal Hell for something they never have embraced themselves.

So again, I have to ask if you have heard and/or read anything by John MacArthur, which certainly may be the case, where he specifically contradicts the biblical gospel. Without question, there are MANY (most?) today, even among Reformed circles who are preaching "another (false) gospel" which is tolerated without so much as a grimacing look. But is MacArthur one of those who teaches a false gospel? He most definitely tolerates those who preach a false gospel and calls them "brethren". But again, is he guilty personally of teaching/preaching a false gospel???
