FEBC-Far Eastern Bible College, BPC-Bible-Presbyterian Church: February 2021

An advice

Jeffrey Khoo, Charles Seet, Quek Suan Yew, Prabhudas Koshy,

Listen carefully, you are to accept one another, Bible Presbyterian churches are not liberal. None of us is liberal nor modernist. Just a bit of pride and lust crept in us. Repent and move on.

Do not treat your brothers as enemies!

We are not much different.

We are not much better.

We are all sinners saved by grace.

Please love one another, do not quarrel any longer. Live in peace.

Let every BPCIS grow freely, do not disturb them with your arrogant writings in your journals and in your preachings. Be humble.

I wish none of you have become an idol to the young people.

Stay away from such an arrogant view like Verbal Plenary Preservation.

Be humble, pray in unity, join the new Synod.

Forgive one another.

May God help us and have mercy on us.

Yours sincerely,

An ordained Minister in BPCIS

Where is the Word of God?

The Words of God are inspired by God, given to humans, God-inspired man, and the Words were written down for us. Kept pure for all ages.

The Old Testament is well preserved.

Not many questions it, they are inspired by God and kept pure by the Jewish People. From the Jewish people, we have the Hebrew Bible or Old Testament.

The New Testament is a bit complicated to explain.

God inspired the Apostles, the Apostles written by hand, in so many copies. Distributed them to various churches in the first century.

They were under persecution.

There were copy mistakes.

Now we have so many variants in different manuscripts.

We have so many fractions of the manuscripts. Thank God for these manuscripts. The message is the same, The Lord Jesus Christ is the same, yesterday, today, and tomorrow, He is the Living Word, and He is the Savior, and God, the Son of God. The Lamb of God.

Where is the New Testament?

The New Testament is miraculously kept pure in all ages. We have 100% of all the Word of God in our hands.

Even with so many variations in our Bible versions and manuscripts.

I believe not even one single Word of God is lost.

The New Testament is kept pure in various fractions of manuscripts, TR, fractions of Greeks text, various translations, various versions of the Bible like KJV, NIV, ESV, NKJV......

We need time to study all those manuscripts, TR, Greek Texts, various translations, various Bible versions, we have to seek and we may find. Compare them, seek the best Wordings!

No single manuscript, translation, any of them are perfect!

But we need all of them!

So that is why we must read KJV together with NIV, ESV, NKJV......

We must be humble, to read the Word of God.

The Word of God is kept pure in all ages miraculously.

I hope this will silent Jeffrey and Charles Seet for a minute.

That is why we should not quarrel about words.

2 Timothy 2:14, NIV: "Keep reminding God's people of these things. Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen."

May God humble us in seeking the New Testament. Do not quarrel about words!

Introducing a friendly Bible Presbyterian Church in Singapore

Grace Bible-Presbyterian Church

Letter to Mr. Ko Ling Kang

In response to an article in Burning Bushing published by Far Eastern Bible College: the article can be retrieved from the address below:

https://www.febc.edu.sg/v15/assets/pdfs/bbush/The%20Burning%20Bush%20Vol%2027%20No%201.pdf

The title of the article is: THE DOCTRINE AND PRACTICE OF BIBLICAL SEPARATION IN THE BIBLE-PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH (SINGAPORE): A RESPONSE TO BPCIS. Written by Mr. Ko Ling-Kang. He is a BTh and MDiv graduate of Far Eastern Bible College and a ThM graduate of Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary. He is currently serving as Preacher at Sydney Bible Presbyterian Church in Australia.

From the above article, one can see how low is the quality of Far Eastern Bible College. Until today, FEBC is still playing with shit and dung.

Paul said, "Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ." (Philippians 3:8)

Far Eastern Bible College in Singapore is wasting time in:

1. Training young Bible College students in fighting against brothers and sisters in the same denomination. Wasting young people time.

2. Training young preachers to write rubbish.

3. Abusing the calling to preaching Christ, young people are not called to preach personal views like Verbal Plenary Preservation.

Stupidity without limit:

1. Mr. Ko Ling Kang showed how stupid he is in writing a lengthy article to defend Jeffrey Khoo, Quek Suan Yew, and Prabudas Koshy. Where is the freedom in his thinking? Still under the bondages and shadows of those three stooges?

2. Timothy Tow was not an extremist like those three stooges, he used NIV in his writings. He makes friends rather than making foolish wars in the beginning.

3. Ko Ling Kang's writing proven not all Bible Presbyterian Churches in Singapore are stupid as Far Eastern Bible College's lecturers. We do not have the same mind as Jeffrey, Quek, and Prabudas.

4. We are different in our views, but we are Bible Presbyterian Churches, here we stand, no turning back. Do not waste your time defending the separatist stand anymore. We are sick of Far Eastern Bible College. Until these three stooges repent, we will not send our members to Far Eastern Bible College.

Exhortations:

1. Repent from attacking churches in the same denomination.

2. Let the issue of Verbal Plenary Preservation die down.

3. In the pandemic, FEBC should stand up for the Lord, and encourage students to study God's word and preach Christ, stop militant moves like ISIS.

Praying for you.

Your Sincerely,

a BPCIS ordained pastor.

The Purpose in writing this blog

The authors are full-time ordained ministers and preachers in the Bible Presbyterian Church in Singapore. The goal of this blog is to encourage all Bible Presbyterian pastors, elders, and leaders, as well as the flocks they serve, to turn to the Shepherd, our Lord Jesus Christ. To unite under the leadership of the Holy Spirit and the Bible. Accepting our minor differences while focusing on the cross. Being described as one family under God the Father. We are called to be together in our diversity. Pride is the fault of all Bible Presbyterian Churches worldwide. Lust has blinded theologians at Far Eastern Bible College. It is at this heavy, serious, and gloomy moment in our Christian walk, rebuking these pastors and theologians, the remarks in this blog are heavy and severe in order to prompt them to repentance. May God help and bless us.

The Apostles' Creed

I believe in God the Father, Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth; And in Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son, our Lord; Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary; Suffered under Pontius Pilate; was crucified, dead and buried: He descended into hell; The third day he rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead; I believe in the Holy Ghost; I believe in the holy catholic church: the communion of saints; The forgiveness of sins; The resurrection of the body; And the life everlasting. Amen.

LUTHER'S MORNING PRAYER

Errors in King James Version

Read Romans 8:26...the KJV has "the Spirit itself..." This is an error; the Holy Spirit is our God, and we must address Him correctly! How may "itself" be used to approach God, the Holy Spirit? "It" is used to address an item or an animal, not a person or God! The KJV translators had insulted the Holy Spirit! However, in another verse, the KJV translators used the term "him" to designate Satan. What an insult to KJV readers! Read Luke 11:18: "...if Satan also be divided against himself..." The KJV uses the phrase "himself..." when addressing Satan! The KJV translator used "it" for the Holy Spirit, but "him" for Satan!!! Mark 3:28 "Truly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the children of man, and whatever blasphemies they utter, Mark 3:29 but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin"

One Another

Unity In Diversity for Bible Presbyterian Churches in Singapore

Like a peal of bells the word allelon-'one another'-rings through the pages of the New Testament.

'Accept one another' allelon

'Serve one another' allelon

'Wash one another's feet'

'Confess your sins one to another'

'Pray one for another'

'Forbearing one another and forgiving each other'

'Teaching and admonishing one another'

'Comfort one another and build each other up'

'Bear one another's burdens'

'Love one another as I have loved you'

Those who have the flow of mutuality in their relationship with each other need not be vocal or exuberant in expressing it.

John Calvin's consent

To new readers, I greet you in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, may God grant us good theologians, humble servants of the Lord, and faithful believers in these last days, may God use this blog to call some one for self searching and repentance, and here we are blogging in theological debates. In 1547, Jacques Gruet, he was arrested by Calvin, tortured for a month and beheaded on July 26, 1547.. The civil court condemned him to death and, with Calvin's consent, he was beheaded. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Calvin) John Calvin consented to kill a man for his theological stand, but I rather use strong words to achieve that!

Statement

1. The authors of this blog do not believe that the KJV Bible is the perfect Bible. The KJV has problems and inaccuracies because it is a man-made translation. 2. The inerrant Bible is in the autograph. All subsequent copies of Hebrew and Greek manuscripts have God's Written Word. We have God's written Word preserved in the NIV, KJV, and ESV. 3. There is no such notion as Verbal Plenary Preservation on a single TR Greek Text underlying the KJV, and the authors do not believe that the entire Greek text underlying the KJV Bible, or the TR, is error-free. 4. The authors believe that the Bible was inspired verbally and plenarily preserved in NIV, KJV, ESV, NESB….other faithful Bible versions. 5. The authors recommend NKJV, NIV, ESV, and NLT New Living Translation. 6. Our Lord Jesus Christ is the living Word.
