What kind of a preacher treats the blood of Jesus as if it is nothing? An apostate? MacArthur does just that. This man has no foundation. He has fumbled through life and has not been held accountable. But, who can hold wolves which become media preacher's, accountable? Those who listen to such people are not wise as these men and women answer to no one and surely many are in gross immorality.
Remember, this is the same man who says you can take the mark of the anti-Christ and repent later. Jesus says if you take away from the words of Revelation, you will go to the lake of fire. Please pray for those who have been deceived by this wolf in sheep's clothing. Many of MacArthur's followers will defend him and many may share in the lake of fire.
- Revelation 22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
If you have not done so, please see my blog post on February 11, 2014. You will see the history of this man is horrible.

In the YouTube video below entitled, "John MacArthur Defends Himself on the Blood of Christ," John Macarthur, being interviewed by Phil Johnson, the Executive Director of Grace To You, in an attempt to defend himself against charges of heresy regarding his views on the blood of Christ, makes the following heretical statements:
"You have to stop short of saying 'We are saved by the blood of Jesus,' in the sense that there is some efficacy in the fluid that poured out of His body."
"We don't want to get caught into this bizarre notion that somehow in the actual fluid that came out of the body of Jesus there is saving power or saving efficacy."
"There is nothing in the fluid in His body that in any way in itself could save us."
"When the New Testament refers to salvation by His blood, it is not talking about salvation by His fluid; it uses blood as a metaphor or a synonym for death because it conveys the violence of it."
"Blood is a euphemism for His death."

After you have read the above responses from John MacArthur, please read the following verses and you will see the cold response and lack of respect shown for the precious blood of Jesus. What kind of heart refers to Jesus' blood as "fluid"? How could a wise man fail to see the wonder of the blood of Jesus in the scriptures?
I have put together most of the verses in the New Testament regarding the blood of Christ, let alone the multitude of verses in The Old Testament which foreshadowed the cross
.
John MacArthur treats the blood of Christ with disdain, but God the Father rejoices in Jesus' shedding His blood, and sees the redeemed as clean!
If you have not seen my post on February 11, 2014, you cannot understand the evil we are dealing with.
What could be more precious to the Father than Jesus's shed blood which redeemed the children of God from their sin?
Exodus 12:13
And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.
Revelation 1
5And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in
his own blood.
Ephesians 2
13But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
1 Peter 1
2Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
18Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; 19But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
Hebrews 9
12Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
14How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
20Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you. 21Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry. 22And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
23It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 24For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:
Hebrews 10:29
10Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
12Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.
20Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,
Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
1 Corinthians 11:27
Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
Ephesians 1:7
7In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
Romans 3:25
Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
Romans 5
9Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
Colosians 1:
20And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
1 John 1:7
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
Acts 17:26
And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
Jacob Prasch
