May those prophets come to talk to us gently and mercifully

Acts 11:27–28

 ²⁷At that time prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch. ²⁸One of them named Agabus stood up and predicted by the Spirit that there would be a severe famine over all the world; and this took place during the reign of Claudius.

Acts 21:10–12

¹⁰While we were staying there for several days, a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea. ¹¹He came to us and took Paul’s belt, bound his own feet and hands with it, and said, “Thus says the Holy Spirit, ‘This is the way the Jews in Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt and will hand him over to the Gentiles.’” ¹²When we heard this, we and the people there urged him not to go up to Jerusalem.

The church is:

built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. (Ephesians 2:20).

• 1 Jn 4:1
• Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

1 Co 14:29

Two or three prophets should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said.

• God may have sent someone like the person below to talk to you:

DO NOT FEAR

 Isaiah 41:10

So do not fear, for I am with you;
    do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
    I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Prayer for BPC to unite as one

Heavenly Father, Yahweh our God, You have created mankind, and You have given us Your Son Jesus Christ as our Saviour and Redeemer. We thank You for forgiving our sins and saving our souls. God, we are now in trouble because we have turned away from You. We need your mercy and grace to continue the walk on this earth.

God, if You are listening to us, please search our hearts, and remind us that we are one in Jesus Christ. Even though we are different. Please bring us together in Jesus Christ, in fellowships, prayer meetings, Bible Study, friendship, so that we can love one another. Let us see eyes to eyes, walk with hands in hands, helping one another as pilgrims on earth, accepting one another, and praying together as one family. 

I now pray for Bible Presbyterian Church located in Singapore, bring us the joy of brotherhood, and share the same wine and bread together. Let us come together as one family again, let us rejoice in You. Give us illumination of the mind and heart. So that we understand that You are our Father, and we are your children, let us live joyfully on earth, and joyfully serving You and our neighbors.

I now pray that You take away all the hindrances, all the stumbling blocks in BPC located in Singapore. So that your children can come together as one family and one body, with different members, different races, and different backgrounds. 

In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I command all the evil spirits, demons, devils, Satanic force to be cast out from Bible Presbyterian Church located in Singapore. No matter who they are, whether they are theologians, pastors, elders, deacons, leaders of Bible Presbyterian Church, I pray, may the Good Lord Jesus Christ, free all of us from the bondage of sin, false doctrines, false teachings, self-centeredness, the greed of power and authority, lust and pride. Please cleanse us with the Blood of our Lord Jesus, renew us with the Holy Spirit, sanctify us with Your Word.

May the Lord Jesus Christ bound and cast these all these spirits and hindrances, cast them away from Bible Presbyterian Church, and make Bible Presbyterian Church, united, faithful, humble and, diligent, serving the Lord, caring for the poor and needy, and the community surrounds us. May Your Name be glorified in us.

I pray in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.  

Dogs

Revelation 22:15: “For without [are] dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.”

Philippians 3:2: “Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.”

Matthew 18:6

 “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.” (Matthew 18:6)

100% purified water

One day, a sick man went to see a doctor

The sick: Doctor, I am sick.

Doctor: Let me check...You are dehydrated, you need to drink more water.

The sick: What kind of water, should I drink?

Doctor: You have to drink purified water, 100% purified, perfect water.

The sick: May I take Essentia Ionized Water? Because I have one at home. That Only purified 99.9%.

Doctor: No, you must not drink that water, you must drink 100% purified water. Not any water, you will die after if drink other kinds of water, for instant 99.9% purified water! That is not good enough, you must drink 100% purified water. Do not say I did not tell you this.

Above is an illustration: How a theologian in a Bible College in Singapore told his students to read KJV only. The theologian told his students, other Bible versions like NIV, ESV, CUV...are not 100% purified like KJV! In order for one to be saved, he or she must read the KJV because the underlying Greek Text of KJV is purified 7 times, 100% perfect. This is how internal warfare began in BPC. The BPC infighting began and this issue of the "perfect Bible" split the Bible Presbyterian churches in Singapore. All because 99.9% is not good enough! We must read the 100% purified perfect Bible. That 0.01% is so important. Theologians fight until today. BPC cannot be united as one, because of that 0.01%. Please look into our hearts first, our hearts 100% pure? 100% Purified? Without sin and iniquity? Full of love? Full of truth? Full of hope? Full of faith? Full of the Holy Spirit? 

Satan has asked to sift all of you

 Luke 22:31-32

31 “Simon, Simon, Satan has asked 

to sift all of you as wheat. 

32 But I have prayed for you, Simon, 

that your faith may not fail. 

And when you have turned back, 

strengthen your brothers.”

Splitting a church because of one minor issue is the work of the devil! Splitting a church because of one personal view-"Verbal Plenary Preservation" is the work of the devil! Many have fallen into the trap of the devil, to split the church!

Satanic theologians sifting our BPC churches?

This is one of Quek Suan Yew's writings revealing his evil intentions, the paragraph below is quoted from his weekly at: https://cpbpc-documents.s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/Worship/pnw.pdf

Notice the word “sieve” used by Quek Suan Yew in the weekly below: 

“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.”

 

English Definition of “sift” and “sieve”

a: to put through a sieve, sift flour; b: to separate or separate out by or as if by putting through a sieve.

 A sieve is a tool you would use to separate smaller, finer pieces from larger pieces. It is a noun. Sift is the action of using a sieve. Sift is a verb and sieve is a noun.

 For example: "Can you use that sieve to sift through the flour."

My response to him:

Only Satan does the kind of sifting to believers in the church, please read, “And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:” (Luke 22:31.  KJV)

Quek Suan Yew has taken action to sift Mandarin-speaking brothers and sisters from his church, he chased them out because the mandarin congregation's pastor did not support Verbal Plenary Preservation. He separated those proponents and opponents of Verbal Plenary Preservation in his church. He oppressed, abused and bullied those opponents of Verbal Plenary Preservation until they left the church!

 Quek thought God will sift those opponents out of His Church! So he did it himself. This is where he gets his gun powder to shoot his brothers and sisters in Christ, this is simply satanic I say.

God never does this kind of sifting to His own church. Sifting among the brothers and sisters? Sifting the Christian Churches? Splitting the invisible church? No! He wants to unite His church as one. The church is one Body in Christ. In the next verse, Jesus said, “But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers’ (Luke 22:32). He wants Peter to bring the church together.

  Yes, God is sifting the believers from the unbelievers in the end. Never did, God sifts believers from believers, there is a case of temporal separation, but that is not permanent. After a sinful brother repents from his sins, he will be received back into the church. Furthermore, it is not a sin to reject unbiblical, personal opinions or views like Verbal Plenary Preservation. Verbal Plenary Preservation is not an issue of the life and death of a believer!

 Why Quek Suan Yew has that kind of mentality, “sifting” church members because of Verbal Plenary Preservation? 

 Here is a hint, he has devils in his heart. This is satanic. We read, only Satan sifts believers. God sifts unbelievers from believers in the end.

The false theologians are misleading the BPC church, using Bible verses to support their “separatist stand,” so that BPC can be separated one from another, according to their devilish intention hidden in their hearts.

These false theologians are trying to downplay the BPC’s unity. Labeling those who oppose his personal view - Verbal Plenary Preservation to be chaff, and to be sifted by God! This is evil! Hurting the body of Christ!

My Conclusion:

False doctrine brings up a false theologian, but all are satanic!

 

Westminster Confession of Faith 20:2

 Chapter 20 - Of Christian Liberty, and Liberty of Conscience.

Section 2.) God alone is Lord of the conscience,(1) and hath left it free from the doctrines and commandments of men, which are, in anything, contrary to His Word, or beside it, in matters of faith or worship.(2) So that to believe such doctrines, or to obey such commands out of conscience, is to betray true liberty of conscience:(3) and the requiring of an implicit faith, and an absolute and blind obedience, is to destroy liberty of conscience, and reason also.(4)

(1) Jas 4:12; Ro 14:4. (2) Ac 4:19; Ac 5:29; 1Co 7:23; Mt 23:8,9,10; 2Co 1:24; Mt 15:9. (3) Col 2:20,22,23; Gal 1:10; Gal 2:4,5; Gal 5:1. (4) Ro 10:17; Ro 14:23; Isa 8:20; Ac 17:11; Jn 4:22; Hos 5:11; Rev 13:12,16,17; Jer 8:9.

My response: 

To believe such doctrines like Verbal Plenary Preservation, or to obey such commands out of conscience, is to betray true liberty of conscience.

(3) and the requiring of an implicit faith, and an absolute and blind obedience, is to destroy liberty of conscience, and reason also.(4)

Is the King James Version of the Bible the most accurate translation?

 

Assure Them These Issues Aren’t New

Christians who worry about the “omissions” in new translations are usually the kind of people who have a respect for the old and reservations about the new. That’s why it can be helpful to assure them that though these issues might be new to them, they are not new to the church.

For example, while recently studying the “missing” ending of the Lord’s Prayer, I discovered that William Tyndale didn’t include it in his first English translation of the Bible in 1526. Knowing that Tyndale is someone my congregation reveres as a godly martyr as well as good translator, I made sure to share this fact with them.

I’ve also found it useful to point out that the original King James Version included textual variants in the margin, and the King James translators defended this practice against the same objections people still have:

Some peradventure would have no variety of senses to be set in the margin, lest the authority of the Scriptures for deciding of controversies by that show of uncertainty, should somewhat be shaken. But we hold their judgment not to be so sound in this point.

If it was good enough for the King James translators, it’ll likely be good enough for them.

Justin Dillehay (MDiv, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary) is a pastor of Grace Baptist Church in Hartsville, Tennessee, where he resides with his wife, Tilly, and his children, Norah, Agnes, and Henry. He is a contributing editor of The Gospel Coalition.

Observation: This means that the original translators of the KJV did not see the underlying Greek text of the KJV as perfect without variants. They were not sure in some places. The 1611 KJV has textual critical notes, places where the translators or editors felt it important to tell readers when the Greek New Testament manuscripts to which they had access included variant readings. Such notes are not a new invention.

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.
