While I don’t agree with MacArthur on everything theologically, I do give him a LOT of credit for standing up for what’s right when it counts, like this and the Covid lockdowns.
FWIW, I don’t think there’s anyone on the planet I agree with 100% theologically. I don’t think anyone fits in that category.
However, I also recognize what Paul refers to as *disputable matters* and have learned to let it go when it’s not a matter of salvation. It’s God’s job to straighten out errant beliefs, not mine. I can warn and advise but the work is His.
I didn’t quite see the guy’s “advice” but I’m guessing he told her to go. (obviously) - I was skimming and probably missed it.
Well said.
I'm gonna try to straighten, because I've internalized this:
The Book indicates that you would be living the right doctrine if you illuminate the ERROR that others put forward.2 Timothy 3:16-17
16. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,
17. so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.1 Timothy 4:1-2
1. The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.
2. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron.1 Timothy 4:6
If you point these things out to the brothers, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, brought up in the truths of the faith and of the good teaching that you have followed.1 Timothy 6:3-5
3. If anyone teaches false doctrines and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching,
4. he is conceited and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions
5. and constant friction between men of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain.Titus 1:11
They must be silenced, because they are ruining whole households by teaching things they ought not to teach--and that for the sake of dishonest gain.Titus 2:15
These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. Do not let anyone despise you.
