Let go our pride and let God lead us!

Matthew 6:33 ►

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

A sign in the sky

 I am waiting for a sign in the sky, to continue the writing, have to wait a while.

Apostle Judas Iscariot

One thing comes to my mind.

Judas Iscariot was under Jesus' instruction. He was listening to His commandments, like the other Apostles, under constant learning for more or less 3 and half years. He is called one of the Apostles, in the end, Satan entered his heart!

John 13:2 ►

The evening meal was in progress,
and the devil had already prompted Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus.



Then Luke wrote, Judas Iscariot was one of the Apostles, even that, Satan entered his heart. 

Luke 22:3
3 Then Satan entered the heart of Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve apostles.

We have to be very careful about this!

This applies to theologians in Far Eastern Bible College, and ministers in Bible Presbyterian Church. And all the servants in the church!

There is not even one perfect man on earth in these last days

I have met so many fundamentalists in my whole life, some of them are very hard working, but i find one thing under the sun, no one is perfect, all have sinned.

Paul's words are true until today.

Ephesians 2:8-9
8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—
and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—
9 not by works, so that no one can boast.

He continues in Romans chapter 3

No One Is Righteous
9 What shall we conclude then? Do we have any advantage? Not at all! For we have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under the power of sin.

10 As it is written:

“There is no one righteous, not even one;
11 there is no one who understands;
there is no one who seeks God.
12 All have turned away,
they have together become worthless;
there is no one who does good,
not even one.”[b]
13 “Their throats are open graves;
their tongues practice deceit.”[c]
“The poison of vipers is on their lips.”[d]
14 “Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”[e]
15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood;
16 ruin and misery mark their ways,
17 and the way of peace they do not know.”[f]
18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”[g]

19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God. 20 Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.

No one is perfect in the sight of God, accept the one and only Jesus Christ.
I find no perfect fundamentalist on earth! All are sinners!

Paul continues to write in Romans 4:7,

“Blessed are those
whose transgressions are forgiven,
whose sins are covered.
8 Blessed is the one
whose sin the Lord will never count against them.”

Romans 9

15 For he says to Moses,
“I will have mercy on whom I have mercy,
and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”[f]

16 It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy. 17 For Scripture says to Pharaoh: “I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”[g] 18 Therefore God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy, and he hardens whom he wants to harden.

19 One of you will say to me: “Then why does God still blame us? For who is able to resist his will?” 20 But who are you, a human being, to talk back to God? “Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it, ‘Why did you make me like this?’”[h] 21 Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for special purposes and some for common use?

No one is perfect on earth in the last days! We are saved by grace.

Onoda did not know the second world war is over

Onoda continued his campaign as a Japanese holdout, initially living in the mountains of Lubang Island in the Philippines, with three fellow soldiers (Private Yuichi Akatsu, Corporal Shōichi Shimada and Private First Class Kinshichi Kozuka).^[6] During his stay, Onoda and his companions carried out guerrilla activities and engaged in several shootouts with the local police.^[7]

The first time they saw a leaflet announcing that Japan had surrendered was in October 1945; another cell had killed a cow and found a leaflet left behind by islanders which read: "The war ended on 15 August. Come down from the mountains!"^[8] However, they distrusted the leaflet. They concluded that it was Allied propaganda and also believed that they would not have been fired on if the war had indeed been over. Toward the end of 1945, leaflets were dropped by air with a surrender order printed on them from General Tomoyuki Yamashita of the Fourteenth Area Army. To the men who had been in hiding for over six months, this leaflet was the only evidence they had that the war was over. Onoda's group studied the leaflet closely to determine whether it was genuine, and decided it was not.^{[1][failed verification]}

One of the four soldiers, Yuichi Akatsu, walked away from the others in September 1949 and surrendered to Philippine forces in 1950, after six months on his own. This seemed like a security problem to the others and they became even more cautious. In 1952, letters and family pictures were dropped from an aircraft urging them to surrender, but the three soldiers concluded that this was a trick. Shimada was shot in the leg during a shoot-out with local fishermen in June 1953, after which Onoda nursed him back to health. On 7 May 1954, Shimada was killed by a shot fired by a search party looking for the men. Kozuka was killed by two shots fired by local police on 19 October 1972^[7] while he and Onoda, as part of their guerrilla activities, were burning rice that had been collected by farmers. Onoda was now alone.

On 20 February 1974, Onoda met a Japanese man, Norio Suzuki, who was traveling around the world, looking for "Lieutenant Onoda, a panda, and the Abominable Snowman, in that order".^[4] Suzuki found Onoda after four days of searching. Onoda described this moment in a 2010 interview: "This hippie boy Suzuki came to the island to listen to the feelings of a Japanese soldier. Suzuki asked me why I would not come out...".^[1] Onoda and Suzuki became friends, but Onoda still refused to surrender, saying that he was waiting for orders from a superior officer. Suzuki returned to Japan with photographs of himself and Onoda as proof of their encounter, and the Japanese government located Onoda's commanding officer, Major Yoshimi Taniguchi, who had long surrendered and since become a bookseller. Taniguchi went to Lubang Island, and on 9 March 1974, he finally met with Onoda and fulfilled a promise he had made back in 1944: "Whatever happens, we'll come back for you". Taniguchi then issued Onoda the following orders:

1. In accordance with the Imperial command, the Fourteenth Area Army has ceased all combat activity.
2. In accordance with military Headquarters Command No. A-2003, the Special Squadron of Staff's Headquarters is relieved of all military duties.
3. Units and individuals under the command of Special Squadron are to cease military activities and operations immediately and place themselves under the command of the nearest superior officer. When no officer can be found, they are to communicate with the American or Philippine forces and follow their directives.^[9]

Onoda was thus properly relieved of duty, and he surrendered. He turned over his sword, a functioning Arisaka Type 99 rifle, 500 rounds of ammunition and several hand grenades, as well as the dagger his mother had given him in 1944 to kill himself with if he was captured.^[10] Only Private Teruo Nakamura, arrested on 18 December 1974 in Indonesia, held out longer.

I have met so many theologians in my whole life, fundamentalists, liberals, evangelicals, etc. God knew who are they. 

If i keep on throwing stones at every barking dog, i will not reach my destiny in the end.

So, I remember one thing, the war between brothers and sisters in Christ is over because of Jesus Christ, he has brought us together. 

And then, we are to keep on teaching the whole counsel of God, keep on holding the truth, keep on preaching Christ, keep on loving one another.

1 Peter 4:8 ►

Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.

Quek Suan Yew from Calvary Pandan Bible Presbyterian Church

You had ill-treated the Mandarin-speaking BPC pastors in Singapore, in this, the history cannot be erased, there is a record in heaven, and now is a time for you to think about yourself on earth. The time has come for you to listen with your heart. Be gentle, hold your peace with those who oppose you.

All these years, you have been given the opportunities to amend all this mess. Pray to Him. Open your heart to your brothers and sisters who have the same root as you in BPC. Even though we began well, it doesn't mean we will end well, together we must help one another as pilgrims on the earth. Do not be rude to your brothers and sisters in BPC, we are laboring together in the gospel work. Be gentle in your preaching, preach Christ, and not yourself, your sermons are full of flesh and temper. Remember Christ died for you. Mutual Communication is a phone call away. May the love of God fill your heart, growing in the holy faith of God. 

That is why I said, fundamentalists theologians are full of crooks, full of hatred, cruel without love, the only thing they care about is a doctrine, and personal view like Verbal Plenary Preservation. I saw these theologians are having the face of an angel, but hidden in them the hearts of a devil. Face shining white, but the hearts are full of evil.

There are millions of examples throughout the history of the church where powerful men thought they could outwit God by hurting and killing God’s faithful children. Not one has succeeded. Every single one of them devised his evil ways but the LORD directed his steps. Even when thousands of God's servants were martyred for their faith, their martyrdom was the day when all of them were called home to glory, exactly according to God’s plan for His children. The outcome will always be such that even the wrath of evil men will praise the LORD. Psalm 76:10 “Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.” Man may weave their evil plans but the LORD will surely sieve them out and permit only that which will accomplish His holy will, especially in the lives of all His faithful children. Amen. 

Yours faithfully in the Saviour’s Service Rev Dr Quek Suan Yew, Pastor

Quek has sieve the BPC with his tongue! This evil work is accountable in heaven!

Hatred

Even if your separatist stand is correct, you wanted to separate from those sinful brothers and sisters in Christ, the way you do it in a hateful way is wrong! Do it in a loving way.  

God may give you an offer

The offer is this. You may continue to teach your personal opinion such as "Verbal Plenary Preservation" in a Bible center as an elective subject, not as a compulsory subject at that center. You are not to disturb anyone who disagrees with you on this subject. Be gentle to those who opposes you. Be kind to those who reject your personal view. Learn to become a friendly and gentle theologian. Do not miss quote all the scripture verses out of context to support your personal opinion like Verbal Plenary Preservation.  

One thing you must do, you are to reconcile with brothers and sisters in Christ, in the Bible Presbyterian Church. You repent of the sin of abusing the Word of God. You apologize, giving your help in building the Christian Community in Singapore. In this, you will be rewarded greatly.

Put away the worldliness in you, in which you are behaving like a pagan, fighting with your own flesh and blood those brothers and sisters in Christ. Even though they disagreed with your personal opinions, accept them and love them for the sake of Him. Open wide your heart and your arms for them. Let this becomes your witness on earth for the sake of the gospel. 

Preach Christ, not our personal opinion!

This offer may expire on a date you may know later.

Bible Presbyterian Church

 Question:

How is the Orthodox Presbyterian Church different from the Bible Presbyterian Church? What does it mean when your website says that the BP Church is more fundamentalist and evangelical, whereas the OPC is more Reformed?

Answer:

The Bible Presbyterian Church separated from the OPC in 1937 over the issues of premillennialism and the beverage use of alcohol. Relations are now very cordial. The OPC frequently receives official greetings from the Bible Presbyterian Church, and there have been some moves in recent years toward bringing the two denominations together. For further information contact Dr. George W. Knight, who chairs the Committee on Ecumenicity and Interchurch Relations.

In general, fundamentalists hold to the fundamentals of the faith and may not emphasize so much the distinctives of the Reformed faith: the five points of Calvinism, covenant theology, that "God alone is Lord of the conscience, and hath left it free from the doctrines and commandments of men, which are in any thing contrary to His Word; or beside it, if matters of faith or worship" (Westminster Confession of Faith 20:2). The OPC takes no position on the various millennial views, and leaves the issue of the moderate use of beverage alcohol up to the individual conscience.

Response: Why your forefathers split the church in the beginning, and why now after so many years you wanted to come back together, aren't you felt sorry about what your forefathers did? Split the church because of a bottle of wine, and some minor issues! That is why the church split because some lustful theologians, pride, and hatred had their way in the BPC. What a shame, we must learn from their mistakes, do not make that mistake again.

PEACE IN CHRIST

 

Love

 1If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a ringing gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have absolute faith so as to move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I possess to the poor and exult in the surrender of my body, but have not love, I gain nothing.

I am looking for one special day!

When that day came, i see brothers live in peace in Bible Presbytgerian Church in Singapore, when i see brothers and sisters from all the different BPC hold hands together; when i see you do this, i will shed my tear with joy, i will smile with my tears again, i will jump with joy, and i will shout with praises. That day may come after 50 years from now. To wait for a generation to pass. God is faithful and long-suffering. Blessed be His Name.

After 13 years of tears in my heart, with a heavy heart, i penned all these so-called poison letters all these years, to pursue one thing, peace in BPC. Let me become nobody, or to be called carnal and wicked one because i tell you the truth, and now i am becoming your enemy? 

Open wide your eyes and see the light from heaven! The light of love. What is love? God has tested you, and you are found wanting! You sued one another in court! You did not follow the law of God, you are carnal until today! All the BPC is like a tree that has the same root with different branches! You have cut them! You have hurt the heart of the One who planted this tree. You do not have the love for your own brother whom you can see, how can you say you love God Whom you cannot see? 

Among you, there are many good men and women, and they do not know how to speak to you. You thought they all agreed with you? They are following you hoping you are right, but what if you are wrong, aren't you misled them all these years? That is why all these postings came about, begging you to consider this.

You do not like to hear this. Long before the courtroom, the glory of God had left BPC. He is waiting to return to BPC, but you have lost your first love in between the flipping of pages of your books. You thought in those theological books you will find God, but God is everywhere, not only in FEBC and BPC!

Put down your pride in your theologies and doctrines, it is meaningless, when you do not listen to Jesus Christ, His commandment is simple, to love one another, even though they disagreed with you partially, you have to love them because God loved them! You did not prove you have a love for them!

All these begging and pleading come with a warning. We will all face Him, one day. God's willing. Whatever we did and spoken will be judged. I warned you to avoid fractions in heaven! AVOID! 

You have the right to continue to disturb the peace in BPC because you have PhD? ThM? ThD? What are all these credentials? Compare to that wooden cross? Does the cross mean anything to you? How can you break the unity given by Him? He died for that unity! Can't we sit down together for a moment for fellowship and discussion?

It seems, that advice has not listened to, and the rod is the better way?
