Pastor John MacArthur
condemns the best selling book, The Purpose
Driven Life, for teaching an inadequate gospel. [39. The Purpose Driven
Life Has An Inadequate Gospel, T. 0:01-2:50] MacArthur believes Rick Warren's false gospel
is contributing to apostasy within the body of Christ (1 Tim 4:1, 2 Tim.
4:3-4). This is odd statement coming from a pastor that teaches a Christian
can't fall away! The frightening truth is
once the Man of Sin seizes control of the nations the falling away of believers
will explode (Rev. 13:7, 2 Thes. 2:3-4). This is why teaching the church will
miss the Great Tribulation is so treacherous. [40. Dr. Charles Stanley-The Great
Tribulation 2, T. 6:53-6:57] Most believe their favorite Bible teacher is being led by
the Holy Spirit. Many say my pastor taught it, I believe it, and that settles
it. The end result is their pastor can't be wrong. Such unchecked allegiance is
why so many will deny the Lord during the Great Tribulation by following the
Beast (Mat. 24:4-5)!
