In this post I will compare a statement from Pagan Greek Philosopher Aristotle with statements from Pastor/Author John MacArthur.
Aristotle has said the following:
The male is by nature superior and the female inferior, and the one rules and the other is ruled.
John MacArthur has said the following:
..... Men are in authority and women are in submission in general.
A man is the highest manifestation of God on earth.... Man is the king of the earth... And I don't mean generic man; I mean sexually male man. Man is sovereign in the world. He is the delegated authority and majesty of God.
My Comment:
From the above statements we can learn that Pastor/Author John MacArthur's thinking is very like that of the Pagan Greek Philosopher Aristotle when discussing the roles of men and women. It is very obvious, therefore, that John MacArthur was very influenced by past cultures in his understanding of the word of God when it is related to that particular subject which in turn will have influenced and still influences the Reformed Church.
