God Bless John MacArthur for standing for the truth!

I have a new respect for this man. God Bless him for being bold enough to call a spade, a spade:

The Rev. John MacArthur, influential author, pastor and seminary president, responded to critics of the three-day Strange Fire conference at his Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, Calif., that many pastors believe is causing dissention among the faithful because he’s teaching that the Charismatic movement is leading people astray and dishonors the Holy Spirit.

MacArthur commented that some of his critics have said that he’s fixated on the Charismatic movement, a claim he countered by noting that in his 45 years in ministry, this was his first conference he’s held on the movement, and believes it’s come too late.

“In response to this conference, there have been some attacks, and we’ve been unable to escape them,” MacArthur said to the more than 3,000 attendees at the conference Friday night. “I just want to address those, because I do think that it’s important to answer the criticisms that have come.”

He first commented that he hosted the Strange Fire conference to help the Church, and people who believe the Bible is the word of God and that God has revealed Himself clearly and consistently and without contradiction.

“This is for the true church, so that they can discern; so that they can be protected from error; and so that they can be a source of truth for others outside the church,” he said, adding that his book, Strange Fire: The Danger of Offending the Holy Spirit With Counterfeit Worship, can withstand the most intense scrutiny, when measured against the word of God in the Bible.

As a former Pentecostal of 21 years, I am glad to see that this man has dared to stand against false doctrine in the body of Christ.

Why I blocked @BruceCarrollSC on Twitter

I have noticed amongst the tea party movement, and conservative movement since Bush left office; an open hostile attitude towards the Christian right.

Here is proof of that:

For the record, that happens to be the owner of the blog named GayPatriot. He is now on twitter backpedaling and saying that his comments were taken out of context. A rather lame excuse, if you ask me. Sorry, I do not buy the stupid sarcasm excuse. I was not born yesterday. 😡

To that I simply said:

Because, I figure, if this homosexual so-called “Conservative” does not mind wishing that all Christians should be just thrown into the water and drown; then I do not mind calling him what he truly is, which a sin-depraved faggot, who is going to split hell wide open. My question to this mongrel is this; would you really say that about Jewish people, would you say that about Muslims too? The smart answer is no, you wouldn’t. You decided to say that about the religious people who won’t fight back; Christians like me.

Well, guess what there Gay fake Patriot, this Christian fights back for his Faith! 😡

The part that really steams me about this; is the fact that I would expect this sort of stupidity from the likes of Ed Brayton and the atheists on the left; But, from someone that is supposedly on our side? It makes me sick, and I am speaking out about it. You do not like me; because of my faith? Then, in my book; you are no better than the Islamists who slammed those plans into the trade center towers, the pentagon and the one headed for the white house.

End of discussion.
