For the record. I have gotten about 1/4 of the way through
The article is macarther speaking against what he claims are charismatic pastors. Taking literal words of scripture and making an allegory of them to make them say somethihg that it does not say.
Here is an example, of the preaching of jericho made into an allegory about men walking around a girl 7 times to break down her heart and marry him (this is evil I may add)

Well, you use Scripture like some kind of story and make it mean whatever you want. This is an extreme example and I’ll never forget, I listened to this series…a young couple came to our church, I remember this so well. I remember the pastor who was talking to them and he came to one of our pastors to get counseling about marriage problems and he began talking to them and it was clear they should never gotten married. And this is not a match made in heaven.
So, “Why did you get married?” “Oh,” said the husband, “it was the sermon our pastor preached in our church.”
“Really, what sermon was it?”
“Well, he preached on the walls of Jericho.”
Walls of Jericho, what does that have to do with marriage?
“Well,” he said, “that God’s people claimed the city, marched around it seven times and the walls fell down.” He said, “If a young man believed God had given him a certain young girl, he could claim her, march around her seven times, the walls of her heart would fall down. So that’s what I did and we got married.” To which our pastor said, “That can’t be true, you’re kidding me, right?”
“No, no, that’s true. And there were many other couples who got married because of the same sermon.”
Can you imagine people circling girls? I mean, that’s enough to scare you, ladies. Talk about stalking, about the third time around you’ve got to get out of there. Some people think marriages are made in heaven and some are, but that’s a marriage made in an allegory.
