2Co 11:3 But I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts will be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ. 4 For if someone comes and proclaims another Jesus than the one we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or if you accept a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it readily enough.
Today I found that Grace Books, part of Grace Community Church, offers what MacArthur recommends by way of books, which includes John Stott who was an Anglican (false church that taught salvation by works and whose founding was in Henry VIII's sexual immorality) and was also an annihilationist (which rejects God's word about eternal torment and His justice).
John Stott used infamous corrupt psychologist and author Alfred Kinsey to interpret Scripture's view of sodomy and cast doubt Scripture's clear condemnation of sodomy. He offers no salvation from gay desires in this life; says there are homosexual Christians what will always be homosexual by orientation; tells us to listen to the world's wisdom on sodomy alongside the Bible ("double listening"). I deal with this here. But here's the excellent video by T.S. Williams who deals with Stott, his book, and his teaching:

Why MacArthur would read, much less offer Stott as being a benefit to a Christian, instead of a heretic that has done great damage to many, aiding and abetting their sin, offering zero hope and help to those in their sin, is beyond me. I guess denial of eternal torment and God's just nature and sure Word are personal preferences. This is egregious and condemned by Scripture (2Peter 2-3; 2 John 9-11; 2 Cor. 6:14-17).
Rom 16:17 I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. 18 For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive.
