Is John MacArthur Teaching a Christological Heresy?

John MacArthur is best known as one of the most faithful Bible teachers of the last century—but some are now accusing him of teaching a Christological heresy. In this video, we examine MacArthur’s public statements about Mary, the Theotokos (Mother of God), and compare them with the historic Christian teaching affirmed at the Councils of Ephesus and Chalcedon. Does his denial of that title align with the ancient heresy of Nestorianism? Watch to learn what the early Church condemned and why it still matters today.
