"Forasmuch 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; But with the
precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot."
—1st Peter 1:18-19
Dr. John MacArthur
is a false teacher who
MAKES SALVATION HARD AND DIFFICULT. MacArthur is one of the most
foolishly praised pastors and invited speakers worldwide. John MacArthur is
an unsaved modernist (A modernist or, liberal, is an unsaved person who
falsely professes to be a Christian). MacArthur esteems the blood of the
covenant as an unholy (common) thing, Dr. MacArthur horribly treats the
precious blood of Jesus as a common thing; such as a spare tire, a puddle of
mud water, a bicycle or some other non-essential item. MacArthur is a
liberal who claims that Jesus blood' never made it into the heavenly Holy
Place (Hebrews 9:12); but rather, MacArthur says Jesus' blood fell onto the
ground and soaked into the dirt at Calvary. MacArthur is teaching a lie of
the Devil.
The blood had to be applied in the presence of
God's glory, between the two Cherubims atop the Mercy Seat alter. The
Old Testament tabernacle was a foreshadow of the heavenly tabernacle in
Heaven. Just as the Old Testament high priest entered once a year
with the blood of a spotless male lamb (which pictured Christ) to
temporarily atone (cover) the sins of the people for another year. All
of those Old Testament sacrifices were necessary to teach the rest of
the world the spiritual truth that the coming Messiah, the sinless Lamb
of God, would once and for all wash away men's sins.
It's Not The Shedding Of Jesus' Blood That Saves, But The
'SPRINKLING' Of That Shed Blood
John MacArthur condemns himself with the
following blasphemous statement against the precious, physical, literal,
blood of Jesus Christ.. MacArthur teaches that Jesus' blood soaked into
the ground at Calvary and stayed there, instead of
being sprinkled upon the heavenly Mercy Seat as the Bible teaches...
"It is not the actual
liquid that cleanses us from our sins, but the work of redemption Christ
accomplished in pouring it out." —false teacher,
Dr. John MacArthur

LITERAL Blood of Jesus Had To Be Applied Mercy Seat
In Heaven
Now here is some sound Biblical
doctrine! The great Bible teacher,
M.R. DeHaan,
M.D. (pictured below), has it 100% correct when he states concerning the
blood of Jesus...
The
blood was to be sprinkled, remember, on the mercy seat right after the
death of the substitutionary animal of sacrifice, Now Christ is, of
course, our substitute. He was slain for us upon the Cross, and entered
into death for us, and when He arose, He immediately went to heaven,
entered into the holy of holies in heaven, sprinkled His precious blood
upon the mercy seat before the throne of God, and forever settled the
sin questions, and delivered us from the curse of the law. This is
clearly taught in the New testament. Hebrews 9:12 is very definite on
this:
"But by his
own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained
eternal redemption for us."
The
Bible also makes plain when He accomplished this. On the morning of the
resurrection He meets Mary at the tomb. As soon as Mary recognized Him,
she prostrated herself upon Him, and would have kissed His feet, but
with shocking suddenness, Jesus emphatically says to her: "Touch me
not"; and then He proceeds immediately to give the reason why Mary is
not permitted to touch Him at all.
"For I am
not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto
them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and
your God." (John 20:17)
Literally the Lord Jesus Christ said, "Touch me not; for I now am about
to ascend unto my Father." We can understand this action when we
remember the the high priest after he had offered the sacrifice, was to
enter the holy of holies, before he did anything else, with the precious
blood. No one was allowed to approach him. Everyone was shut out until
this was completely done. And here in the record of the meeting with
Mary we have the fulfillment of this type. Here Mary meets her great
High Priest, just arisen from the tomb, but before He had entered the
holy of holies with the reconciling blood. And so He says to her, "TOUCH
ME NOT."

What a wonderful truth! The Bible
is so clear when you accept it as it's written. The best way to interpret
the Bible is to not interpret it. By diligently cross-referring
Scripture with Scripture, we are able to form a complete and accurate
picture of divine Truth. Thank God for the precious redeeming literal blood
of Christ Jesus!
“But
BY HIS OWN BLOOD
he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal
redemption for us.” —Hebrews 9:12
The Death
Of The Passover Lamb Was NOT Enough
When the Lord was going
to pass over Egypt and destroy the firstborn, he said to Moses and Aaron in
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."
The death of the lamb
wasn't enough, the blood had to be applied Mr. MacArthur. God wasn't looking
for a dead lamb in the backyard; No, rather, God was looking for the APPLIED
BLOOD on the doorposts and lintel (doorplate) above the door. The blood had
to be
applied. John MacArthur's entire ministry is flawed, and he is a false
prophet, simply because he is WRONG on the most important Christian doctrine
of all—Jesus precious literal liquid blood! No genuinely saved person would
ever deny the redemptive power of Jesus' physical blood!
“Neither 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.”
—Hebrews 9:12
If the Old Testament high priest killed the lamb and went home, the sins of
the people were not atoned for. The lamb's blood had to be carried by a bowl
into the holy of holies and applied to the mercy seat (which rested upon the
Ark of the Covenant).
Here are the eloquent words of Dr. Jack Hyles (1926-2001) concerning the
importance of the blood being applied...
In the Old Testament, the
High Priest killed two goats on the Day of Atonement. The blood of one
goat was taken by the High Priest into the Holy Place to the Ark of the
Covenant. On the top of the Ark of the Covenant was the Mercy Seat. Over
that Mercy Seat were two cherubims beaten out of pure gold. Between the
wings of those cherubims was the Glory of God. The blood from the goat
that was sacrificed was applied to the proper place which was the Mercy
Seat. If the blood did not get to the Mercy Seat, then it was the proper
price, but not paid to the proper place. It would have been no more
valid than that check written but not paid to the creditor.
If the blood of Jesus was
left on the ground at the cross, that means it did not get to the Holy
Place and is not valid. "What can wash away my sin? Nothing but the
blood of Jesus." It is not just the blood shed, but also the blood
applied.
God told Moses to instruct
the people to apply the blood of the lamb at the Passover. When He
passed over and saw the blood of that lamb, He would withhold His
judgment. God did not judge them based on His omniscience. He made a
point of letting them know that He would not judge them only when He
saw the blood. It was not enough that the blood was shed. The blood
had to be properly applied.
