John MacArthur deceived his church on his calvinism and used "stealth calvinism" tactics to convince them to move to his position.
Luke 12:1-3 In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. 2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. 3 Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
2 Corinthians 4:1-7 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; 2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. 3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. 6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

Will we see a return to 2022 and some of the best of what North Queensland can be, or will it be the more usual lacklustre fare that the northern-most team in the NRL are often known for?
Two passionate North Queensland Cowboys supporters give their thoughts as Grahame is joined by Matt Gibb. Neither claims any particularly expertise as Rugby League afficionados, only the passion of avid fanaticism to the Greatest Game on Earth being played by our favourite NRL team.
And will we get to the topic of Origin as well? Definitely, but it might not be this time. Stay tuned.
And you can expect other topics to pop out at you too, for example we are both committed (yes, that has two meanings I can think of, like "fanatical") Christians and we are duty bound to discuss that topic every chance we get (but that's not the primary reason we bring it up - ah yes, another phrase with multiple meanings).

In it, John MacArthur admits that he did not tell his congregation the truth about his Calvinism. It is from a longer video hosted by Nathan Busenitz.

I've already posted this and many of the comments say there is no deception.
Please explain how this is not admitting to deception.
Most of the comments ignore the topic and attack me because I'm attacking John MacArthur. Hypocritically, they believe that attacking someone is wrong.
Not a single comment showed me how I was wrong in what I said. They just asserted it.

Let's examine this again.
I'll do my best to remain calm as I hope that John will decide to talk to me so we can sort this out.
Here are the videos we will be looking at or comments John made on them.
John MacArthur deceived his church on his calvinism and used "stealth calvinism" tactics to convince them to move to his position.
Luke 12:1-3 In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. 2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. 3 Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
2 Corinthians 4:1-7 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; 2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. 3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. 6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
John is a Calvinist who claims that he is a compatibilist (which means he thinks that Free will and Determinism are compatible).
He claims that God determines all things but He does not determine our lusts. Like all Calvinists, he is impossible to reason with because he has abandoned logic for his heretical gnosticism.

In this debate, we were supposed to look at every use of πιστις (pistis) and πιστευο (pisteuo) in Romans 1 to 5 but Charlie changed the debate format during the debate!
And then wouldn't let me continue with Romans 4 and we never got to Romans 5.
And the prancing imbecile imagines he won the debate!! He wasn't prepared to even follow his own rules (he proposed this format), wasn't prepared to share his screen (didn't bother finding out how to), changed the format multiple times in the debate and lied repeatedly.
He decided to debate a strawman of my position instead of even learning what my position is. He still doesn't know what it is.
He is the archetypical pigeon playing chess, prancing around the board knocking pieces over, crapping everywhere and pretending he won the game.

Charlitard is not on his own anymore. He now has two silly women who support his lies and stupidity.
These idiots assert that I believe in BOTH easy believism AND a works salvation (the latter of which is their position). They hate protestantism even though Charlitard is pentecostal (which is protestant).
We'll be going through scripture (again) to prove him wrong, and ask (again) the questions he refuses to answer, and which his two minions ignore as well.
And I'll answer the questions that they think are rhetorical. You'll be fascinated that one of Charlitard's two minions loves asking questions after she's proven wrong, but only asks them of Charlitard while also saying how right he is. The arrogant ignorance is astounding.

X.10 God moves in the hearts of the ungodly
Sorry, youtube doesn't give me enough space to paste this chapter.
See the link above to read for yourself.
X.11 No mere permission in God
From this it is easy to conclude how foolish and frail is the support of divine justice afforded by the suggestion that evils come to be, not by His will, but merely by His permission. Of course, as far as they are evils, which men perpetrate with their evil mind, as I shall show in greater detail shortly, I admit that they are not pleasing to God. But it is a quite frivolous refuge to say that God otiosely permits them, when Scripture shows Him not only willing but the author of them. Augustine conceded this to the accustomed and accepted forms of speech, for the time being; but when he proceeds farther to examine the thing more closely, he quite prohibits permission from taking the place of action. I shall not refer to all that he says about this matter in Book 5 of the Contra Iulianum. This will be enough: These things He does in marvellous and ineffable ways, who knows how to execute His just judgements not only upon men's bodies but in their hearts; who does not make wills evil but uses them as He wills, while being Himself unable to will evil. Elsewhere in the same sense: If diligently searched, Scripture shows not only the good wills of men, which He Himself made out of evil wills and are made good by Him, to be directed to good actions and to eternal life; even those which conserve the creatureliness of this world are so within the power of God, that He inclines them when He wills and as He wills, either to the enjoyment of benefits in the case of some, or to the imposition of penalties in the case of others. He adds: Who does not tremble at these judgements with which God works in the hearts of even the wicked whatever He will, rewarding them none the less according to desert? Again it is quite clear from the evidence of Scripture that God works in the hearts of men to incline their wills just as He will, whether to good for His mercy's sake or to evil according to their merits, His judgement being sometimes open and sometimes concealed, but always just. For it ought to be fixed in your hearts that there is no iniquity with God. The reason recorded for God's judgement being sometimes concealed is to be sought in another passage. Here he frequently declares that sins are penalties which God justly returns upon those who had first sinned; and then he rises to that higher and greater hidden secret. God finds the material cause for exercising His wrath in all except those whom He gratuitously elected. For, he says, the rest of mortal men, who are not of that number, are born of the same human race from which those come and are made vessels of wrath for their benefit. For God creates none of them rashly or fortuitously or because He did not know what good He might work by them. For He effects this good, that in them He creates a human nature and out of them He effects order in the world.
The reason why He should sometimes fill the heart with anxiety and fear and sometimes confirm it with courage, why He should take away the spirit from princes and infatuate the counsels of the wise, why He should bestow on some the spirit of temperance and supply others with the spirit of wild fury – the reason for all this He will one day make clear and conspicuous. But it will equally appear that His hidden judgement is paramount, as He converts wills as seems good to Him. For nature is common to all men, but not grace. So in another place speaks the holy man.
If you missed it - go back and read the first sentences of X.11.
If like Frank White ("JiL", "rebukeandreprove"), you want to question what Calvin means by "author", go read the whole thing again. Or listen to the stream. It's not just permission. It's not just that He is Creator.
"how foolish and frail is the support of divine justice afforded by the suggestion that evils come to be, not by His will, but merely by His permission. Of course, as far as they are evils, which men perpetrate with their evil mind, as I shall show in greater detail shortly, I admit that they are not pleasing to God. But it is a quite frivolous refuge to say that God otiosely permits them, when Scripture shows Him not only willing but the author of them."
And notice the constant contradiction about whether evils are pleasing to God or not!

Calvin says yes, emphatically. Luther says yes. John MacArthur says yes, and no. John Piper says no, and yes.
James White emphatically says yes, except when he says no.
Nicholas Whitmire says yes and no. CJ says yes and no.
Chris Date says YES and SO WHAT!!??
I will try to examine all these claims, but first we'll see from scripture that God is EMPHATICALLY not the author of evil.
This will not be the definitive exposition of this topic. I am only beginning. I won't answer all questions here, but I hope you will leave satisfied that scripture emphatically denies that God is the author of evil.
This was an "open discussion" hosted by "The Gospel Truth" (a Calvinist) and he had Chris Date (a Calvinist) and Colton Carlson (a Calvinist) on as guests.
Leighton Flowers and others join the stream and instead of taking their questions seriously, Chris turns into a blasphemous, mocking fool.
Feel free to watch the whole stream and see if Chris (or Colton or the host) make any valid arguments. I couldn't find any. but we'll be dealing just with one particular section where Chris defends his "author analogy" by admitting how inconsistent and unjust his god is, and he doesn't care.

They hate God's command to HUMBLE YOURSELF and want to add irresistible grace (or in Nicholas' case, inevitable grace - unless he's changed it again).
They want to blame God for it people believe or not and they turn Him into a psychopathic sadist who decides most cannot believe ("because they don't want to because God has determined that") and then He will torture them for eternity because they did not believe. Oh, that's right, they hate the doctrine of eternal torment taught in scripture and believe in annihilationism because it makes their view too obviously wrong.
