Dissecting Wartburgwatch and I-Monk which presents themselves as blogs dissecting Christian trends but dissect, mostly, conservative Evangelicals who have an historic orthodox view of Scripture. Not a lot of happy commenters seen on those blogs.

Dissenting comment
Comment from recovering Baptist: ###
So you're trusting the "narrative" of a wicked man who blasphemes the blood of Christ, lies that we can take the mark and still be saved, and tells his congregation there IS no pandemic (I recently lost a friend to Covid),and as if ALL THIS us not enough, actually tells his congregation "The good news is you're NOT wearing masks and are not social distancing." The devil knows his time to speak through John MacArthur is short (he's now 81), and both John AND Satan are no longer content in merely leading people to their SPIRITUAL death; they want to lead them to their PHYSICAL death too.

I think I read that technically speaking, the whole COVID thing doesn't actually qualify as a pandemic; I could be wrong, MacArthur could be wrong.###
ReplyDeleteI do wish you'd clarify where MacArthur thinks you can take the Mark of the Beast and still be saved. I'm not up on that one.### Either two hundred million Americans have died from Covid [ see Biden speech ] or perhaps 200,000 so it has been a significant threat to life, particularly older life. ### And I'd love to hear your personal story moving from active Baptist to ????
I did find this about MacArthur:

So here’s a warning to the whole world, you take that mark and you are going to receive the wrath of God. Now you can make your choice, you can refuse the mark and get the wrath of the Antichrist, or you can take the mark and get the wrath of God. The wrath of God means torment with fire and brimstone and it says in verse 11, “And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever and they have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image and whoever receives the mark of his name.” You take it and you will suffer torment forever.”
