Quantity does not mean quality.
Zoom! Right over your head.

My point is I wouldn't want to own an iPhone because every one is identical. They all look the same. Same grid layout for icons, same built in features, same basic everything. They can not be customized as fully as an Android phone.

And of course you can provided properly cited quotes that support this accusation?
Who says everything is irresistible?

Who says justification is irresistible? Are you referring to the efficacy of Grace?

Who says sanctification is irresistible?
He states that a Christian cannot be in willful sinning, and that Jesus must be Lord over all or not at all! He even denies that we still have the old sin nature!

I ask for:

..........properly cited quotes that support this accusation?

And you respond with the above,as if your assertion of what he says is somehow as credible as properly cited quotes!

Tell what should we do with this? Why should I take your words as being anything more then hearsay?

It seems obvious to me that you are not speaking from personal and detailed interaction with what the man actually teaches but you are really on secondary sources (as I have demonstrated about you before on other boards) and sadly it seems to me that do so without demonstrating enough discernment to understand if those sources are fairly describing MacArthur's views.

The simple reality is many Christians make a distinction between the 'old man' that was put to death in the death of Jesus Christ (Rom 6:6) and our members (our flesh) that remains and is conditioned to sinfulness - indeed it is a common view among reformed believers - this is something you should know well from all those books that you have claimed to have to read in the past!

Do you see him allowing for a Christian to actually have a season where not walking with the Lord as he ought. maybe caught in a spiritual issue hard to deal with? And we still do have within us that old nature, for that is at war against the Holy spirit residing with in us, correct?

Good to converse with you again, Brother!

Like you don't Weselyian?

You should think more highly of Mr. Wesley - one of the original open air preachers.

"I am well assured that I did far more good to my Lincolnshire parishioners by preaching three days on my father's tomb than I did by preaching three years in his pulpit." ... "To this day field preaching is a cross to me, but I know my commission and see no other way of preaching the gospel to every creature". ~John Wesley

“At four in the afternoon, I submitted to be more vile, and proclaimed in the highways the glad tidings of salvation, speaking from a little eminence in a ground adjoining to the city, to about three thousand people.”~Wesley

“It is no marvel that the devil does not love field preaching! Neither do I; I love a commodious room, a soft cushion, a handsome pulpit. But where is my zeal if I do not trample all these underfoot in order to save one more soul?” ~Wesley

“We allow, it is the work of God alone to justify, to sanctify, and to glorify; which three comprehend the whole of salvation.” ~Wesley

My prayer is that i get better at saying what i mean and meaning what i say :)
Mine is entirely the opposite. I want to be so vague people on all sides think I’m agreeing with them to the extent they start sending me money. It can happen….I’ve seen it done on TV.

A few years ago I posted that IMO LS was "sinless perfection" in disguise and there was a Vesuvius eruption (I think it was here on the BB).

So if LS does not mean "sinless perfection" then how much sin is allowed in our lives for Jesus to remain Lord of our life?

Personally I think we are caught up in a useless semantic debate.
One that will probably never be resolved until the LORD Himself returns.
But a useless debate nonetheless (IMO).
