John MacArthurs false teaching on the blood of Jesus Christ

[Clare73]

MacArthur said: “It was His death that was efficacious, not His blood.” “Jesus didn’t bleed to death. The shedding of blood has nothing to do with bleeding.”

This is completely contrary to the clear teaching of Scripture. The Bible repeatedly emphasizes the importance of Christ’s literal, physical blood for the remission of sins.

The penalty for sin is death (OT sacrificial system).

The shedding of blood is death, therefore, the shedding of blood (death/Calvary) pays the death penalty for sin (Lev 17:11).

What the Bible Actually Teaches​

1. Hebrews 9:22 "And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission."
   • The Bible does not say "without death is no remission," but rather without shedding of blood.
2. 1 Peter 1:18-19 "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."
   • The blood of Jesus is what redeems us, not just His death.
3. Ephesians 1:7 "In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;"
   • Again, it is His blood that brings redemption.
4. Revelation 1:5 "Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,"
   • Our sins are washed away by His blood, not merely His death.

The Danger of MacArthur’s Teaching​

MacArthur’s view undermines the literal necessity of the blood of Jesus. This is an attack on the Gospel itself. Satan has always tried to downplay or remove the importance of Christ’s blood because it is the very thing that defeats him.

• The Old Testament sacrifices were a foreshadowing of Christ's blood (Leviticus 17:11 "For it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.").
• The Passover lamb’s blood (Exodus 12:13) is a direct picture of Jesus’ blood.
• Jesus Himself said during the Last Supper (Matthew 26:28) "For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins."

Saying That Jesus Didn't Need to Bleed Is False​

John MacArthur's denial of the necessity of Christ’s literal blood is a grievous false teaching. The KJV Bible makes it abundantly clear that it is the blood of Jesus Christ that saves us, not just His death. Anyone who denies the power of the blood is preaching another gospel (Galatians 1:8-9) and should be marked and avoided (Romans 16:17).

The Bible is crystal clear that we are justified, redeemed, and saved by the blood of Jesus Christ, not by our works, not by repenting of sins, cleaning up the life, behavior modification, not by our own righteousness, and certainly not just by His death without His shed blood.

1. Justification by the Blood​

Justification means being declared righteous before God. How does that happen? Not by our efforts, but through the blood of Jesus Christ.
Romans 5:9 "Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him."

• This verse directly states that we are justified by His blood. not by baptism, works, or church membership.
• Without the blood of Christ, we are still under God's wrath!

2. Redemption Through the Blood​

Redemption means to be bought back or ransomed from sin. The price? The blood of Jesus.
Ephesians 1:7 "In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;"
1 Peter 1:18-19 "Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold. But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot."

• Jesus purchased us with His blood, just like the Passover lamb’s blood saved the Israelites (Exodus 12:13).
• His blood is precious, perfect, and the only thing that can redeem us!

3. Saved by the Blood of Jesus​

Salvation comes through faith in His blood, not our own works.
Revelation 1:5 "Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,"
Colossians 1:14 "In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:"
Hebrews 9:22 "And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission."

• No blood, no forgiveness! Jesus had to shed His blood to save us.
• His blood washes away our sins, not just His death.

Conclusion​

Justified by the blood (Romans 5:9)
Redeemed through the blood (Ephesians 1:7)
Saved by the blood (Revelation 1:5)

Any preacher who downplays, denies, or diminishes the blood of Jesus Christ is preaching a false gospel! The blood of Jesus is the foundation of our salvation, and without it, there is no hope.

Hebrews 10:29 warns about those who count "the blood of the covenant" an unholy thing, they are trampling on Christ’s sacrifice!
Believe in the blood of Jesus Christ, not in the false teachings of men!

Downplaying the Blood​

We should never downplay the Blood of Jesus Christ as being necessary for salvation, just as his death, burial, resurrection saves us, his virgin birth, his sinless life, his ascension and blood on the mercy seat, his second coming. It's not a pick and choose thing, no it's all of the above, Jesus paid it all and we should not downplay any one of those things. people ask questions like "does the blood save us or his death?" folks its all of the above that's how I respond when people ask questions like that. they try to say "oh youre saying we're saved by his blood but not his resurrection?" no Im not saying that, Every part of the gospel is essential we shouldn't downplay any part of it.

Jesus Escaped Death Multiple Times Because His Hour Had Not Yet Come​

There were several times when the Jews tried to kill Jesus before the cross, but He escaped every time. Why? Because He could not die in any other way- the cross and the shedding of His blood were necessary.

1. Luke 4:28-30 “And all they in the synagogue were filled with wrath, And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong. But he passing through the midst of them went his way.”
   • They tried to throw Him off a cliff, but He walked away because it was not His time.
2. John 7:30 “Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.”
   • Again, the Jews wanted to seize Him, but they couldn’t because God’s plan required Him to die on the cross.
3. John 8:59 “Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.”
   • They tried to stone Him, but He escaped because He had to be crucified and shed His blood.

Jesus Prayed, Asking If There Was Another Way, But There Wasn’t​

In Matthew 26:39, Jesus prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane: “O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.”

• Jesus asked if there was any other way for mankind to be saved.
• The Father’s silence meant that there was NO OTHER WAY.
• Jesus had to shed His blood on the cross, because without the shedding of blood, there is no remission (Hebrews 9:22).

MacArthur’s View Contradicts This​

If John MacArthur were right, if Jesus could have just died another way and still saved us, then why:

• Did Jesus repeatedly escape death until the cross?
• Did Jesus pray, asking if there was another way?
• Does the Bible emphasize His blood over and over again?

The only answer is that Jesus had to shed His blood, there was no other way. MacArthur’s teaching contradicts the Bible and undermines the very gospel itself.

The Cross and the Blood Were Necessary​

Jesus’ death on the cross wasn’t just about dying, it was about shedding His blood.

• Hebrews 9:12 “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.”
• 1 Peter 1:19 “But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.”
• Colossians 1:20 “And, having made peace through the blood of his cross.”

Conclusion: Jesus’ Blood Was Required, and There Was No Other Way​

Jesus escaped death multiple times because He had to die by shedding His blood on the cross.

He escaped death because it was not yet his time to die, for there was more that God intended him to do.

His prayer in the Garden proves that there was no other way.
MacArthur’s teaching that Jesus could have died without literally shedding his blood is a false gospel that denies the very core of salvation. The Bible says we are redeemed through His blood and nothing else.

Because the shedding of blood is death, which is the penalty for sin.

What’s the big deal? Calvinist get a lot wrong, what’s the surprise that someone who doesn’t God got one more thing wrong, no surprise.

[DamianWarS]

I'm not denying that the death of Jesus saves us. but his blood also saves us, all of the above yes, its not a either or thing like Only his death saves but not his blood? no, its both

If you had a vile of Christ's physical blood would that physical blood itself offer any benefit? is the source of the power of the blood in the properties of the physical blood itself or is the underlying source of the substance of God which is not "flesh and blood"? I think MacArthur shows that the value is more abstract than physical. it is euphemistically synonymous with the event of the cross that it cannot be separated. if you separate the blood from the event the blood is no more powerful than saying Christ's severed hand can cause the lame to walk, or his collected silva can cause the blind to see. such focus causes all sorts of odd behaviours collecting relics of Christ or other "saints" of the church and history has shown its negative side. I do not deny that despite our predisposition in getting lost in these things the HS can still use the things we look to for his glory but the power is still of God not of the "thing". Saying the blood has innate power in itself would suggest I can just drink it and be forgiven of my sins which is counter-gospel and quite frankly paganism. For MacArthur he's approaching it critically rather than refusing to unpack what the meaning of the blood is or just leaving it as a mystery and scolding anyone who tries to approach it (like that earlier video).

So, Jesus only had to shed His blood but not actually die?

My brother figured that out too.

Had the jews accepted him.

 

[linux.poet]

He also despises pentecostals, put all in the same basket, i found the Holy spirit in a pentecostal church in a awesome way, but for him they are all bad,

Generally speaking, intellectual Scripture-only nondenominational churches despise Charismatics (including Pentecostals) for admitting personal prophecy and personal experiences as spiritual authority when Scripture is the only valid communication from God to man. Anything consistent with the Scripture is to be admitted, and anything that is not admitted is to be despised.

Also, any non-denominational church needs to distance itself from the Church at Bethel and other heretical charismatic churches that aren't a part of any registered denomination. Because we don't have a denominational committee to vet our churches for non-heretical views, we claim the Scripture as authority and our adherence to the Scripture to make the claim that we aren't heretics and thus truly Christian. This leads to a lot of negative commentary against the charismatic groups from our pastors that is truly unnecessary in many contexts.

The argument that is commonly given in these intellectual Scripture-only nondenominational churches is that, in the United States, anyone can set up a church regardless of whether they truly are preaching the Gospel or not; deferring to an experience of God rather than the Scriptures is one of the red flags we consider to be problematic in church vetting because we believe that Scripture is -the- authority. This is the group of Christians that John MacArthur no doubt belongs, and I know that it is because I am a part of the same group and I have read books he has written.

With that being said, I don't really share MacArthur's view. I think his commentary is just a matter of church survival politics and rhetorical convenience, rather than anything anyone truly needs to believe. I fellowship with a lady for quilting every month who goes to a charismatic leaning church in the area and I have benefitted from it in the Lord. So it's not really something I think you should take personally, as long as you follow where the Lord is leading you.

Hebrews 9:12
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.

Did Jesus enter an unseen building/structure somewhere in the heavenlies with His blood?

That's kind of where the SDA landed on the subject. Even in the face of contrary scriptural evidence

For me the answer is kind of obvious. His blood was shed on/at the cross. His Own Body IS The Temple. He died a real physical death but did not cease to exist in Spirit.

His Spirit and ours does not die (nor does it sleep)

The unique distinction with the body of Jesus is that it was "glorified" after death. What all that means is interesting and somewhat elusive. I don't for example believe that the physical body of Jesus is on the planet Kolub for example, like the Mormons believe. Jesus now has a Spiritual Body that is not subject to a strictly material existence. We can read all about His Body in Rev. 1 and His remaining body on earth (ours) in Rev. 2-3

If Jesus didn’t enter into the heavenly temple, the one God gave specific dimensions to Moses, then what is that temple for? I am sure that God is not sacrificing animals in heaven.

We know temples are different at each course in the cycle ..i.e wandering temple, temple of the rich man-destroyed, rebuilt temple, Body of Jesus Temple, believers bodies as temple, and that's where we stand currently.

Beyond that it's a Spiritual conversation and contemplation.

Do I think it's bricks and mortar from here on?

Nope

Hebrews 9:10-12 says Jesus entered the heavenly temple not built by humans but God. That’s the same temple that Moses copied. It seems clear from scripture.

 

[BelieveItOarKnot]

The verse quoted includes the words: "not made with hands." So that seems to show that "grabbing" a hammer and a saw are not the sort of things in view.

Trying to get the notion of a physical brick and mortar temple off the logical table

The Collective Body is The Temple. I do question the material nature of said Body. Some of the advance looks we get are interesting, and not physical in the way we think of physical, as in Rev. 1 for example or the transfiguration or Jesus walking on water, appearing on the road to Emmaus, ascending into the clouds, etc etc

I've also heard some bizarre teaching on the nature of Jesus' Body, for example not having blood but everything else. And having a disfigured body from the execution, so missing chunks, etc.

IF God could make stones into children of Abraham I'd think He could give His Body some more blood and heal all the wounds?

And we can even expand that view showing whatever we do to the least we do to Him...

Imagine your neighbors as Jesus Himself? Or even yourself, if Christ is in us?

That's when faith in Christ gets interesting and we dig deeper

No God just speaks and then things come into existence.

 

[JulieB67]

Death is the shedding of blood, therefore, the shedding of blood (death/Calvary) pays the death penalty for sin (Lev 17:11).

Exactly

Shedding his blood just simply means he paid the price with his death/shedding his blood therefore taking that place of the prior sacrifices to be that one and all time atonement for sins upon repentance.

And Paul does state this -

I Corinthians 11:26 "For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord's death till He come."

I think they go hand in hand for sure.

 

[NBB]

I think the blood of Jesus has spiritual significance, and the bible talks about it, not just because meaning he died.
Jesus said 'to drink his blood' 'to have life', in the holy dinner, you drink the wine that represent his Blood.
The bible says our sins were washed by the blood of Jesus.

not planet Kolub but in heaven

Revelation 21:22
And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
