I do not think his doctrinal position is so far outside what most of us accept as truth , (recognizing a general love that God has for all his creatures)
The issue is closer to your words here.
That was an Ad Hominem attack that was completely unnecessary unless it WAS his primary point.
Maybe he has a book coming out "The Purpose Driven Salvation"
***Maybe he has a book coming out "The Purpose Driven Salvation"***
How about the "Unchosen Harry and Mary"?
All those bright lights and flattering make-up can go to one's head.
If Romans 8:28-20 was involved, I'd pick it up! :)
Look, MacArthur merely pointed out one Reformed theologian, A.W. Pink, who he felt "took the corollary ["Nothing but His own sovereign will governs His love"] to far" in stating that God "does not love everybody."
He rightly pointed to several Reformed theologians (including Calvin) who ostensibly disagree with Pink's conclusions.
Some of us have no problem whatsoever stating our disagreements with Calvin on certain verses or doctrines and expressing our opinion that he is wrong about something, but when MacArthur states a disagreement with Pink in this article he's accused of an "ad hominem attack that was completely unnecessary?"
