John Macarthur's Spiritual Mentor was a Jewish Rabbi
John Macarthur's father, Dr. "Jack" Macarthur, in addition to being the director of the foundation which started Fuller Seminary, was in Henrietta Mears' inner circle and was involved at the highest level of the world ecumenical movement. The goal of the ecumenical movement is to create a one-world religion for the worship of Lucifer. Christians have been falsely led to believe that the one-world religion will eradicate Christianity rather than transform it. (See John Macarthur's Ecumenical Roots and What is the Church Growth Movement?)
According to an interview with Phil Johnson of Grace To You, John Macarthur stated that at his father's request, he went to Talbot Theological Seminary (now known as Talbot School of Theology) "just because of him [Dr. Charles Feinberg], to be my mentor, my professor and [to take] every course that he offered." (1)
Dr. Feinberg was Talbot Seminary's first dean (1952-1975) and according to John Macarthur, he was a Jewish rabbi. In reference to his time at Talbot Seminary (I believe in the early 1960's), John Macarthur stated, "Charles Feinberg..., just a converted rabbi, basically, studied fourteen years to be a rabbi." (2) Why are Jewish rabbis heading Christian seminaries?
According to Wikipedia "In 1930, he [Charles Feinberg] converted from Judaism to Christianity through the ministry of Chosen People Ministries."
According to the Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society (Feinberg was a charter member of the ETS), "Charles Lee Feinberg was born on June 12, 1909... He was reared in an orthodox Jewish home and prepared for the rabbinate for fourteen years prior to his conversion to Christ in the fall of 1930."(3)
In 1930, Feinberg was 21 years old. For the preceding account to be true, Feinberg would have to have had studied for the rabbinate from the age of 7 to 21, and then converted to Christ at 21, before becoming a rabbi in his 50's without studying for the rabbinate for 30 years. Is this believable?
Why would a man come to the Light at the age of 21 only to return back into the shadow in his 50's? But had he ever known the Light?
Since it was after Feinberg's "conversion to Christ" that he became a rabbi, the authenticity of his conversion to Christ must be questioned; for studying for the rabbinate would involve affirming the tenets of Orthodox Judaism which are antithetical to Biblical Christianity.
The curriculum for being a Rabbi involves studying the Talmud, the textbook of all rabbi's and the basis of Judaism. The Talmud is extremely anti-christian and greatly slanders the Lord Jesus Christ.
Dr. Feinberg studied the Babylonian Talmud and cited it in his writings.
Can a man be an Orthodox Jewish rabbi and a Christian? Can a man serve two masters? Can a man serve the God of the Bible and the demons of the Talmud at the same time?
Though John Macarthur refers to his spiritual mentor, Rabbi Feinberg, as a "Jewish Christian." (5) Rabbi Feinberg's son, Dr. John Feinberg, referred to his father posthumously as "an orthodox Jew" (4).
Of interest, according to the Lockman Foundation website, Dr. Feinberg was an original translator of the corrupt bible version, the NASB, the version from which John Macarthur currently preaches.

There is also evidence that Rabbi Feinberg was a Calvinist. "...or the treasury of notes in the New Scofield Bible written by an elite group of Bible scholars which included Charles Feinberg, who incidently, was a Calvinist." To those who have studied the truth about John Calvin, a crypto Jew, and the Protestant Reformation, it wouldn't come as a surprise to learn that an orthodox Jewish rabbi was a Calvinist.

Christian researchers have found definite connections to Freemasonry at the highest levels of the
leadership of the reformed movement (located in Edinburgh, Scotland). Interestly, the motto for FIRE (Fellowship of Independent Reformed Evangelicals), which numbers Phil Johnson, the Executive Director of John Macarthur's Grace To You, as a member, is nearly identical to the motto of Phoenix Freemasonry.
