Who Said That?

"For the believer of Reformed convictions, there is a strong allegiance to historical roots and continuity, especially insofar as the historic Reformation is concerned, distinctly emanating from Wittenberg, Geneva, and Westminster. . . . Such claims call for a response that clearly exposes the shameful legacy of historic amillennialism, which is really the eschatology of Roman Catholicism."

This is from Barry Horner's book, Future Israel (148). Horner quotes from my book, A Case for Amillennialism, and then launches into the screed quoted here. Instead of dealing with the substance of the argument, Horner stoops to equating Reformed amillennialism with Romanism. Come on Barry, you gotta do better than that!

Johnny Mac has been dogging almills for a long time. Don't be so naive.
Check out the link you'll see how he says the errors of amillennialism led to the errors in Roman Catholicism.

Let's not forget, though, in pointing out errors or differences in understanding, that we know and prophesy in part, and most of our fellow Believers are not setting out to teach, speak or write incorrect things (i.e. to deceive).
Secondly, the "flavor" I got from the short quote did not sound like MacArthur to me, especially due to the first half of the quote.
Thirdly, I think some people at times react with a moblike mentality on blogs. People like MacArthur are mentioned and everyone starts to speak against the man. Personally, I find this troubling.
Fourthly, the link which I was given provides no audio or direct quote from MacArthur. Its the author of the blog who says, "And towards the end of the speech, Dr. MacArthur said that Augustine is responsible for the Dark Ages and Amil theology is responsible for the errors of Roman Catholicism." Perhaps I missed something in the blog, but I'm not so concerned with reviewing it once more. If you want to show someone what MacArthur has said, why don't you point towards his audio or writings? I don't really care about someone's blog to decide for me if something that was said was wrong. I can judge MacArthur for myself. But don't bother giving me any sources, this is not an issue which I care to look into deeply. I have more important schoolwork to do. Perhaps I should not comment anymore.
And last of all, I do know that Dr. MacArthur and other Dispensationalist go too far with some of their comments. But still, I'm quite sure it was not MacArthur who said this.
Readers, please forgive me for this long post, ignore it if you read this one sentence. I won't write anything else on this subject.

My guess was Johnny Mac, but my point wasn't to prove he said "the" quote. The point was and the link was to show how he has dogged almills in the past, which you seemed to deny.
Thanks Justin for clearin' that up.
