To his credit, John MacArthur is not afraid to hold a mirror up to his fellow Christians. It is not unfair or unkind when those same Christians hold that mirror up to him.

Are we calling each other names now? Well I don’t really expect an apology because I’m happy when the mask comes off.

“Adding to scripture” Seriously Thomas? Oh my, what a clown you are.

And because you can’t remember it—you probably don’t use it as an example of your street cred. If you are going to add to Scripture (even with a qualifier) then on what authority does it stand ? We shouldn’t use Scripture to say something it doesn’t and then act pseudo offended when we get called on it.

Thomas, thank you for your responses. I did qualify that quote, didn’t I? So I can’t really be accused of mis-quoting scripture. Had I said, “Jesus said in John 8:7 – blah blah blah…” then you would be correct. As such, you are mistaken and common decency would require that you retract your statement.

With regard to the toilet and bathtub recollections. If I say that 40 years ago while in the Army I took a road trip with my best friend and three others from Ft. Bragg, NC to Panama City, Fl. I can remember clearly that my best friend was there because it was his car and he drove, but for the life of me, I can’t remember the other 3 people in the car, only that they were there, I can’t remember the make or model of the car, or what we had for dinner, does that mean the trip didn’t happen, or that anyone of those three persons weren’t there?

This is my point. Our brains capture the gist of events accurately and the details less accurately. Therefore the details of the bathtub vs the toilet are not relevant to the question of whether of not he was there.

To his credit, John MacArthur is not afraid to hold a mirror up to his fellow Christians. It is not unfair or unkind when those same Christians hold that mirror up to him.

With regards the toilet and bathtub recollection being unkind–‘The truth is it’s own defense’. Misquoting Scripture isn’t very persuasive.
