This material concerning Dr. John MacArthur and his heretical views on the Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ has been published in its present form at this time for three principle reasons: 
(1) The doctrine of the Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ is of vital importance among the other important doctrines of the Christian Faith. There have been vicious attacks on the Blood of Christ for centuries. Until recently, these attacks have originated from the citadels of the false cults such as Christian Science, and from the apostates within the mainline Protestant denominations. 
(2) John MacArthur has been the leader within the neo-evangelical movement in recent years in his heretical attack on the Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. He has claimed to be in the evangelical mainstream in his heresy. He has quoted from an Anglican clergyman by the name of Stibbs as well as others in an attempt to justify his error. His charismatic manner and double-meaning words have been used to deceive thousands of Bible-believing people around the world. 
(3) John MacArthur has been a pattern for other neo-evangelicals and even "Fundamentalists" in their espousal of many, if not all, of the parts of his fatal heresy on the Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. A partial list of those thus influenced either in whole or in part would include: (1) Dr. Ken Pulliam, a teacher at Dr. James Singleton's school in Tempe, Arizona. Pulliam, along with an M.D. wrote an article on the Blood of Christ which appeared in the Calvary Baptist Theological Seminary Journal in Lansdale, Pennsylvania. This article was endorsed by John MacArthur himself with only one exception. (2) Dr. James Singleton himself, who has backed this article and its teachings and has never publicly repudiated it in whole or in part. (3) Various students from Dr. Singleton's school, such as Air Force Chaplain Michael Sproul. (4) Chaplain Sproul stated that SOME teachers have adopted at least PART of the MacArthur teaching on the Blood of Christ, including SOME teachers from the following schools: (a) Central Baptist Theological Seminary; (b) Detroit Baptist Theological Seminary; (c) Pillsbury Baptist College; (d) Maranatha Baptist Bible College (Watertown, Wisconsin); (e) Dr. Singleton's College in Tempe, Arizona; and (f) Bob Jones University. (5) Undoubtedly some in the Fundamental Baptist Fellowship have been influenced by this teaching due to Dr. James Singleton's strong influence in that FBF. (6) Some in the Independent Baptist Fellowship of North America (IBFNA) have no doubt been influenced by Dr. Singleton. Despite warnings from me as to his views on the Blood of Christ, he was still maintained as the main speaker in their 1995 annual conference and is at present a MEMBER of that group. 
However widespread either all or part of John MacArthur's heresy on the Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, I believe it is of the utmost importance to analyze his teachings on this theme and to refute them with Scripture. If this virus is permitted to spread even further--and especially among the so-called "Fundamentalists"--where will it end up in the years, decades, and generations to come?!!

John MacArthur's Heresy on the Blood of Christ

Don't throw the baby out with the bath water! Keep the excellent rhythm, cadence, and reliability of the Faithful Old King James Bible. Simply add to it footnoted definitions of uncommon words and what do you get? You get the Defined King James Bible. 
The Defined King James Bible is the culmination of hundreds of hours of painstaking work. This Bible uses footnotes to define virtually all of the archaic, obsolete, difficult, or uncommon words in the King James Bible. 
Many, for example, would think that "rereward" was a reward that you receive again. The Defined King James Bible's footnote classifies rereward as Archaic and then gives this definition: "rear-guard--military detachment that protects the rear or main body or force." 
Although "concupiscence" is neither archaic nor obsolete, owners of the Defined King James Bible can simply glance at the bottom of the page to sharpen their understanding of this word's meaning whenever it appears in the text. They will find this definition: "strong desire or appetite, esp. sexual desire--lust; lasciviousness, eroticism, lechery. 
Older English idioms like "held his peace" or "fetched a compass" no long need to cause any confusion. These English expressions clearly meant "remained silent" and "circled around" respectively when they were placed into the text of the King James Bible. The Defined King James Bible makes sure that we do not project our modern understanding onto these older expressions. 
When Ephesians 5:15 tells us that we should "walk circumspectly," the helpful footnote explains how we are to conduct ourselves. The DKJB footnote suggests that we are to live "cautiously, warily, carefully; considerately; discreetly, prudently; carefully considering all circumstances before acting, judging, or deciding." How rich and instructive the word "circumspectly" is! 
Let me emphasize several important differences. Most Bibles that define some of the more difficult words in the King James Bible ignore many terms that may be confusing. When they do define a term, that definiton is often quite hard to find and even harder to read. (How many of us can read 7 point type?) Virtually all other Bibles link a word to its definition only one time per page (at best). Often a reader has to remember the meaning of that word (if he can find the definition at all) for several pages. If he is just checking a cross reference from another passage, he may not even know that some of the terms in the verse that he is reading were defined somewhere on the page or on a previous page. 
With the Defined King James Bible, however, EVERY TIME an archaic, obsolete, difficult, or uncommon term occurs on a page, it is placed in BOLD type and is followed by a footnote. This footnote leads the reader to the bottom of the same page where the word occurred. In Titus 1:5, for example, "filthy lucre" occurs in verse 7 and in verse 11. In each of these verses "filthy lucre" appears in dark bold type and is followed by a superscripted (footnoted) number 5. Whether you are reading just verse 5 or just verse 11 or both, you can look down at footnote 5's definition for "filthy lucre": "illicit, dishonorable, or unlawful gain or advantage." Nothing could be simpler. 
What else do I get when I purchase the Defined King James Bible? The Defined King James Bible's text comes in an easy-to read, large 12-point black typeface. The spacing between the lines is larger than usual also. The larger print and wider line spacing combine to make the Defined King James Bible easier to read for older or tired eyes. 
The Defined King James Bible uses high-quality India paper. Its rounded, gilt-edged leaves are firmly anchored with a Smythe-sewn, re-enforced binding. This 7 1/2' by 10" Defined King James Bible has wider than usual 3/4" margins and is covered with the finest gold-stamped genuine leather available. It comes in a magnificent Burgundy and white and silver presentation box. 
The Defined King James Bible contains a yearly Bible reading schedule, a synopsis of each Bible book, a historical look at the King James Bible with a spirited defense of its excellence, and some helpful maps.

As the title indicates, it is the purpose and intention of this booklet to summarize some of the teachings and important arguments contained in Dean Burgon's excellent book, Inspiration and Interpretation. It is planned that the substance of this material will be given to the Dean Burgon Society's 21st Annual Conference, meeting at the Heritage Baptist University in Greenwood, Indiana, July, 1999. It is hoped that the reader will purchase and read Inspiration and Interpretation in its entirety. There has been no attempt to give all of the arguments and excellent material contained in Inspiration and Interpretation. This "SUMMARY" has sought to set forth some of the more important themes and statements found in this well-written textbook on the subjects of the inspiration and the interpretation of the Scriptures. The reader of the entire book will find it to be a worthwhile document. It is hoped that some of the following quotations will whet the reader's appetite for more of the truths so skillfully propounded by Dean Burgon. Though there will be some quotations from the Preface of Inspiration and Interpretation, there will be no references to what Dean Burgon calls: "PRELIMINARY REMARKS on a Volume Entitled 'ESSAYS AND REVIEWS:' Addressed to the Undergraduate Members of Oriel College." This section is numbered with a second set of Roman numeral pages (i-ccxxviii). In that section, Dean Burgon has devoted 228 pages to answer the apostasy contained in Essays and Reviews. Even though I have not quoted from it in this summary, it should be read by all in its entirety. This apologetical refutation of Biblical error shows the following important things about Dean Burgon: (1) He was not ashamed to refute apostate theology even though it was within his own church denomination. (2) He showed himself to be the champion of Biblical orthodoxy without apology. (3) He was not concerned about how many ministers of the Church of England he may have offended because of his careful and rational defense of the teachings of the Word of God.
