Bearing False Witness is a Sin, A Warning of God's Judgment

Why do modern-day Calvinists like John MacArthur insist on breaking the ninth commandment for any preacher or theologian who disagrees with their theology, by falsely accusing them of Pelagianism?

In doing so, aren't they setting themselves up for hell, by incessantly lying about their fellow brothers and sisters in Christ?

It seems that modern-day Calvinists like MacArthur are jealous or resentful of Charles Finney and other non-Calvinists for winning more souls to Christ than they do, so they smear him and many other teachers, thus violating the tenth commandment as well.

In this video, Leighton Flowers demolishes John MacArthur's strawman arguments against Jacobus Arminius and Charles Finney as somehow being Palagean:



While I don't find Flowers' own system of provisionism compelling, he's at least good at dispelling the lies that modern-day Calvinists like John MacArthur tell about Molinism, Arminianism, Finneyism, etc.

Matthew 19
16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Charles Finney, like Billy Graham after him, was far from being a Pelagian:



Why can't modern-day Calvinists be more like George Whitefield, who worked alongside John Wesley on the mission field as fellow Methodists, by agreeing to disagree on predestination?

Matthew 7:5
You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

As I've demonstrated on this forum, I have no intention whatsoever to smear Calvinists of goodwill, like John Piper, Charles Spurgeon, George Whitefield, Matt Chandler, etc.



Falsely accusing others of Pelagianism is a violation of forum rules:

 

Though I don't particularly care for Flowers' theology, every single time that we are falsely accused of Pelagianism on this forum is a violation of forum rules.

 

I'm very sure that John MacArthur is more educated about what Arminius and Finney taught than he puts on. Out of his own insecurity, he'd rather lie about what they actually taught.

 

Did you even watch the video, in which Dr. Flowers disproves that claim?



Why do you continue to bear false witness?

 

I don't even like or believe in provisionism, but that doesn't make Dr. Flowers a Pelagian.

 

I would not accuse John MacArthur of hypocrisy and bearing false witness unless I was able to demonstrate, with evidence, that it's true, which I've already done on this forum. (John 7:24)

Let's wait and see what happens when the SEC finishes investigating the MacArthur family.

I sincerely hope that Dr. MacArthur will repent before judgement day comes. I have no reason to lie about my desire for his sincere repentance, since I'd never wish for him to enter damnation.

 

Jacobus Arminius himself was from the Reformed tradition, which is why classical Arminianism is often called Reformed Arminianism.

Calvinism also traditionally teaches that if you live in willful, unrepentant sin, it's a sign that you were never among God's elect in the first place.

2 Peter 1:10
Therefore, my brothers and sisters, make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble,
