Acts 13:46

 

Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.

Paul was waxed bold. 


Then Paul and Barnabas answered them boldly: “We had to speak the word of God to you first. Since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles.

 

Acts 14:14

 

Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out,

Amazing grace

1 Amazing grace (how sweet the sound)

that saved a wretch like me!

I once was lost, but now am found,

was blind, but now I see.

 

2 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,

and grace my fears relieved;

how precious did that grace appear

the hour I first believed!

 

3 Through many dangers, toils and snares

I have already come:

'tis grace has brought me safe thus far,

and grace will lead me home.

 

4 The Lord has promised good to me,

his word my hope secures;

he will my shield and portion be

as long as life endures.

A Church Falters-Further Division in Bible Presbyterian Church

A Church Falters-Further Division in Bible Presbyterian Church

The 48th General Synod held in 1984 saw a further sad parting of ways as Dr. Carl Mclntire led 16 other commissioners to walk out and hold separate synod meetings at another location. Although this group represented only a small percentage of the churches, Dr. Mcintire claimed this was the true synod, Efforts at reconciliation proved fruitless and the majority continued the work of the church until there were apologies and a reuniting in the synod of 2001, meeting in Tacoma, WA.

 

In 1983-1984, several Bible Presbyterian missionaries were faced with the dilemma of chOOSing to declare unreserved support for the lCCC or they would not be returned to their fields of service abroad under the IBPFM. The compromise within certain church bodies of the ICCC in various countries overseas was well documented (and later publically admitted) so a partition took place with the Raymond Carlsons (Africa), Judith Collins (Africa), and the Irwin Steeles (South America) resigning from The Independent Board. A number of board members either reSigned or were not reelected to their positions on the board.

 

In view of this development, the Presbyterian Missionary Union was formed in a meeting of Bible Presbyterian ministers, elders, and missionaries on January 15-16, 1985, in Media, PA. Dr. G. Thomas Proctor was elected president and Dr. Morris McDonald was asked to serve as the missions coordinator. A Missions Council of 20 was elected to serve. The ministry of PMU was seen as that of supporting the work of missions abroad and church planting at home.

 

Over the years, God blessed in assisting ministries overseas, sending forth missionaries, and assisting churches at home. Bibles and theological books were shipped to 15 countries overseas, valued at over $300,000. The Missions Banner became a monthly missions and church update newsletter.

 

The end of July 2002, Dr. Morris McDonald retired from his position as PMU's field representative and the Missions Council appointed Dr. Len Pine to fill that post. The headquarters was then moved from Palm Harbor, FL, to Grand Island, NY.

 

Over the past decade and a half, these agencies, among others, have gained approval by the synod: Fundamental Presbyterian Publications (Charlotte, NC), Cohen University and Theological Seminary (Los Angeles, CA), and Western Reformed Seminary (Tacoma, WA).

 

Western Reformed Seminary opened for classes in October 1983 in facilities in the Bible Presbyterian Church of Tacoma, WA. Dr. John Battle assumed the office of president.

 

A first for the Bible Presbyterian Church was the 2003 meeting of the General Synod in Canada. The Synod accepted an invitation from the Bible Presbyterian Church of Edmonton, Alberta, to host the 67th Synod meeting.

My observation: Bible Presbyterian Churches are militants, they like to have infighting, and they like to shoot their own comrades. WHAT A JOKE!

28.11.21

Do not eat pork, you may stumble the Jew!

I am challenging these false teachers and false theologians since they said they are faithful to God in everything. (In saying this, they are a stumbling block to our young people.)

I am hereby, challenging these false teachers and false theologians to stop eating pork, because eating pork may stumble the Jewish people. Why? Because the Jew is prohibited to eat pork in Old Testament. Eating pork may stumble the Jewish people from coming to believe in the New Testament. May stumble the Jews from believing in the Lord Jesus Christ. Eating pork may Stumble the Jew from believing in the Gospel.

I hope these false teachers and false theologians stop becoming a stumbling block to the world.


Every Sunday I am listening to many sermons.

I am investigating the spirits in teachers, preachers, pastors. 


I heard the voices of all kinds of spirits. Some voices come from the spirit of pride, some voices come from the spirit of man selfishness, some voices come from the spirit of the frogs, some voices come from the spirit of the wolves, some voices come from devils, some voices originated from the brains, some voices originated from the hearts, some voices come from the mouth, some voices come from the tongues, some voices originated from the fire of hell. 


Some voices originated from faith, love and, hope, and these voices come from the Holy Spirit, inspired by the Holy Spirit. I believe, only these voices edify the church. 

The false teacher preached: We want to be a church like the church in Philadelphia

The false teacher was preaching in this morning Worship Service in his church, I was listening to his sermon, he said in his sermon, "We want to be a church like the church in Philadelphia, we want to become a church with brotherly love." Well said, but he is bluffing, puffing up, lying under the sun. I do not believe in what he said and what he preached. Sad to say, his church members believe in him, following him, some of them believed this false teacher is being persecuted because he is defending the truth or the Perfect Bible, or some sort. 

Why I do not believe in what he preached this morning? Because in some other times, some other places, this false teacher is attacking Christians, attacking Churches in his own denomination, Bible Presbyterian Church. He was calling names in his false accusations, attacking other pastors through his journals, bulletins, sermons, Bible Studies. Slandering his own brothers in Christ. Saying that others are not faithful like him. He scorned them, that they have sinned against the Lord in rejecting a perfect Greek Bible underlying the KJV.  


Furthermore, this false teacher has provoked many younger preachers and pastors to follow his false teachings. Some years ago, this false teacher was teaching that KJV is the only faithful Bible translation. And the Greek Text underlying the KJV in jots and tittles is the perfect Bible, without error. Other Bible versions are all corrupt translations, all other Bible versions are devilish. He attacks brothers in Christ with various false accusations. He is now promoting himself as a 21st Century Reformer, he is the Reformed prophet, Fundamentalist warrior, and now he behaves like he is the most faithful, knowledgable, wisest, most spiritual, infallible Bible Scholar in the world. Everyone in his own denomination must bow down, kowtow to him, everyone in Singapore and the whole world must listen to him. We must have a pair of big ears like the elephant's ear in listening to him, Timothy Tow called that as "docile" or a man with a "teachable spirit." We have to obey his false teachings. In his own opinion, only in this way, we are proven a Christian. Only in this way, he could accept us as a brother in Christ, he set the condition whether Christians unite or separate. He taught many young people what is Biblical Separation, to separate from errant brothers in Christ.     

In this morning's sermon, the false teacher said he has the logic of faith in believing the Greek Bible underlying the KJV is the perfect word of God, this is bull shit! That is blind faith. He is spiritually blind.

I want to remind this false teacher, if he says he has the truth, please show me his love! Do not talk like a drunkard! In one place he said he has all the truth and knowledge, in another place he is attacking the church, attacking fellow Christian who believe in Jesus Christ. I am wondering when will his church member find out all his falsehood? What a pity!

Thanksgiving and Prayer

 I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart and, whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God’s grace with me. God can testify how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.

And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.


Philippians 1:3-11

24.11.21

I will stop writing

When Bible Presbyterian Church located on earth become one, united, working hand in hand, and that day, I will stop writing this blog. I have many other works to finish, but I have given my heart to you. I hope you listen to my appeal to unite, forgive one another in Bible Presbyterian Church, you are always on my mind, even though my words are harsh, they intent to prick your heart and awake all of you. My heart is saddened, that you still do not listen to my plea, I am alone sometimes in praying for all of you. You are my brothers and sisters in Christ. Days and nights, I called on the Lord how long, I have to wait to see BPC becomes one in Christ, am I wrong in pursuing this path? May God hears my prayer that all of you unite, live, and work together, may God cast away the devils who have tempted us to sin against Him. When that day, all of us unite and love one another, there is no greater joy than this for me.

Amazing Grace


 

Bible Presbyterian Church's diversity

Bible Presbyterian Church has various diversity!

We have members who are reading NIV, ESV, and KJV.

Members, who drink and do not drink. 

Members, who speak in tongue and do not speak in tongue.

Members, who are weak and are strong.

Pastors and members, who are evangelical, reformed, fundamentalist.

Pastors and members, who are strong and weak. Wise and unwise.

We are called to be one denomination, called Bible Presbyterian Church.

We are called to have a correct doctrine of God. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, in One God, loving and united. We too are too called to be like The Triune God, loving and united.

We must have a close relationship with Jesus Christ, He is the Son of God, the Saviour of mankind. Following Him and becoming His disciple, obeying Him.

We must have the Holy Spirit, without the Holy Spirit, no one is Christian. Bearing the fruit of the Holy Spirit. So that we may not become fruitless and lazy.

Do not have anything to do with false Christ and false prophets. They are coming to the church, becoming more and more dangerous to us, they are becoming worst and worst. Take heart and be warned, do nothing with them. Guide the flock entrusted to us, advise them with love, teach them with love, be patient, and do not rebuke with harshness. Reconcile as soon as possible. 

The Lord is coming again, stand firm in the whole counsel of God. Read the Bible and pray without ceasing.

Put down our pride and self. To see Bible Presbyterian Church as it is. We are not perfect, we need each other, we are one from the beginning, and now and forever. There is leaven in our midst, that is the leaven of the Verbal Plenary Preservation, the leaven of pride, the leaven of self, the leaven of knowledge, the leaven of lust, the leaven of hate, all these must be put away from us, so that we may become a good witness for Christ. United we are strong.


Luke chapter 21

25 “There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. 26 People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. 27 At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”

29 He told them this parable: “Look at the fig tree and all the trees. 30 When they sprout leaves, you can see for yourselves and know that summer is near. 31 Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that the kingdom of God is near.

32 “Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. 33 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

34 “Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you suddenly like a trap. 35 For it will come on all those who live on the face of the whole earth. 36 Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.”


Philippians 3:12–16, 

“Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you. Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.”


When you read these writings of Apostle Paul, pray on our knees bent, be humble, be not puff off with our knowledge and wisdom, be kind to the poor, orphans, and widows. Be kind to those who are working under us, be kind to our students in our Bible Colleges, be kind to the evangelists, be kind to the full-time workers, be kind to the weak and unwise. Become an example to them, so they may know God's love from us.


Do not have anything to do with the rich Christian who is proud. For they are idol worshippers. Do not go along with drunkards because they will not inherit the Kingdom of God. Be careful with some theologians in the last few days. May God protect us from falsehood.


God has preserved the Gospel truth, and He did not promise any Perfect Greek Bible underlying the King James Bible, do not listen to these teachers who are misleading the flocks under them, pray for them so that they may repent from causing harm and damage to Bible Presbyterian Church. 


Dearly beloved, let us work together and live peacefully with all men, in this God will reward us greatly.

21.11.21

Why Bible Presbyterian Churches becoming Evangelical?

One of the reasons that I observed is this.

The Liberal called the Fundamentalists and Reformed, a cult.

The Fundamentalists and reformed called the Liberal, a cult.

The Liberals are extremists. They do not believe in Bible as the Word of God.

Some Fundamentalists and Reformed are other types of extremists. They overemphasize the Bible, some overemphasize a Perfect Greek Bible underlying the KJV Bible.

Both are extremists.

Many Bible Presbyterian Churches cannot stand both of them.

So they chose to become Evangelical. A better and safer ground. 

Let those two extremists quarrel with each other. Fight with one another. Until they lost their direction.

This is only my observation. No harm. Please do not spread this rumor around.

The theologians are still dreaming, do not awake them.

How to preach like a Baba Peranakan?


Click the picture above to see an example of a Baba's preaching, he nearly takes out the Malay's Katana-Parang in this preaching. Beware and be careful. This preacher has scary gestures and voices. Viewers must be 18+years old.

Christians do not fight with Christians, rather pursue peace and unity, love one another so that people will know that we are Jesus' disciples. 

Jesus said, "By this everyone will know that you are my disciples if you love one another.”

John 13:35
 

14.11.21

A professing believer in Bible Presbyterian Church says that he finds greater joy in being with his unbelieving friends than with Christians.

That is the truth! I agreed with him. Why?

Because of you, the theologians in Far eastern Bible College, who are quarrelsome, noisy, proud! Self-righteous. Never admit wrong. And you always find the grace as you told others, you always said God is in control, but who are you? You are a shameful man who stumbled other Christians. You put a lot of stumbling blocks on Christian, you forbid them to unite, you forbid them to get together for a cup of tea or coffee. You are cruel. You are separating the flock of Jesus Christ.

It seems God is not in control, you are in control, you control which Bible Version should be read by your church members, you said NIV is demonized. Do not touch it. You decide which Bible words, are the true word of God. You decide who your church members can associate with and make friends with. You decide who is Christian, who is not. You hurt so many people with your tongue and writings. It seems you are stronger and greater than God.

You have given the 15th Century Reformation, Reformed Theology, Fundamentalism, a very bad name. People thought all the protestant churches behave like you. Proud and arrogant, quarrelsome, noisy. You have many weaknesses, from these, I appeal to you to repent.

I knew one of the elders in a Bible Presbyterian Church located here in Singapore, he rejected Christ because his pastor is too quarrelsome, noisy, proud, selfish, self-righteous. You know who I mentioned here. That pastor stumbled his elder! 

Matthew 18:6, "but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea."

Christians in Bible Presbyterian Church find greater joy in being with their unbelieving friends than with Christians. I am not surprised. Why? You have the answer, do not be naive, to blame those Christians. You have to blame yourselves, you so-called senior pastor. You are always right, is it?

Why does a professing believer say that he finds greater joy in being with his unbelieving friends than with Christians? 

He said this to shame you!

But you do not listen carefully, because you are deaf and proud. 


You theologians always say, Proverbs 16:20 “He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he.”

May I ask you one question? Do you handle the issues of the Bible wisely? I do not think so, you are childish, talking like a child. You said only the Greek Text underlying King James Version can be trusted, should be read. Other Bible Versions are all corrupt. You insist that Only KJV is the Word of God.

Do you trust in the LORD, I do not think so, you trust in yourself more than trusting the LORD. Nothing is comparable to your brain, you are behaving like the wisest man on earth. You claim NIV is a devilish Bible Version! 

It is one of the reasons why members of your church denounce you.

That is one of the reasons why many Bible Presbyterian Churches reject fundamentalism and Reformed theology. More and more Bible Presbyterian Churches becoming Evangelical.

Theologians in Far Eastern Bible College are worse than a Roman Catholic

These theologians persecuted brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ.

They are cruel and cold blood.

They are very close to becoming men without the Holy Spirit.

Pursuing the Greek New Testament, until they split churches and fellowship.  

They are the people mentioned by Peter: 

2 Peter 2:1-3 “But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. 2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.”

These theologians are worse than Roman Catholics.

2 Peter 2:17-22 “These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. 18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. 19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. 20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. 22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.”


The judgment of God awaits these daring fools!

13.11.21

Accountability

I knew a few Christian pastors...

Pastors who emphasize the Perfect Greek Bible are the most important part of their ministry.

Pastors who emphasize the gift of speaking in tongues are the most important part of their ministry.

Pastors emphasize that philosophical knowledge is the most important part of their ministry.

Pastors who emphasize that Social Work is the most important part of their ministry.

Pastors who emphasize teaching false teachings are the most important part of their ministry.

Every one of these pastors will one day give account to God, what they were building on the foundation of God-the Lord Jesus Christ.

I knew a few pastors, some have Reformed, Evangelical, Fundamentalist, Liberal and Modernist, Charismatic, Pentecostal backgrounds. Every one of these will be accountable for what they did on earth. Some are quiet, some are quarrelsome, some are cruel, some are unbelievers, some are selfish, some are friendly, some are kind, some are good, some are bad, some are evil, some are selfish, some are self-centered, some are Christ-centered, some are busy, some are lazy, some are sinful, some are spiritual, some with love, some are not, some with hate. Some are proud, some are humble.

But I also know Paul the Apostle, a disciple of Christ. Let us listen to what he said:

1 Corinthians 3:14-15: "If anyone’s work which he has built upon the foundation remains, he will receive a reward; if anyone’s work is consumed, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved."

I knew the most, only Jesus saves!

12.11.21

5 solas of Far Eastern Bible College and some reformed churches

Sola Scriptura + : The Bible is our highest authority. Plus King James Version is the only Bible, we should read.


Sola Fide + : We are saved through faith in Jesus Christ and faith in a Perfect Bible.



Sola Gratia + : We are saved by the grace of God and by the mercy of the pastors.


Solus Christus + : Jesus Christ is our Lord, Saviour and King, and with the authority of reformed theologians in Bible College. 


Soli Deo Gloria + : We live for the glory of God and self-glorification.

Reformed theologians are quarrelsome

This is sad, most of the reformed and fundamental theologians in Far Eastern Bible College I know are quarrelsome, do not have a quiet spirit. They split churches, creating divisions.

They do not walk the talk, they preach "unity" on the pulpit in the Sunday Worship, preaching that we have to have the same one mind in Christ. In reality, they fight, fighting day in day out, fighting among the Bible Presbyterian Churches in Singapore. For what? Self-glorification. They pronounce blessing after the Sunday service, but what happened after the service, they attack Christians in their writings, bulletin, weekly, journal. What a shame!

Some said they are pursuing peace, but in reality, they attack brothers and sisters who are reading the NIV, they said NIV is devilish, demonized Bible version. They told others that those who are reading the NIV are not saved. Ridiculous.

Can't you see this is wrong? Are you deaf? You pursue the Greek Perfect Bible, and you sacrifice the unity of the church of God, are you so foolish?
