First letter to the "servants" and "theologians" in Bible Presbyterian Church

To the "servants" and "theologians" in Bible Presbyterian Church,

I hope this letter finds you well and in good spirits. I am writing to you with a heart full of concern and respect regarding your teachings and their impact on our community. Your dedication to the truth of the Bible is deeply appreciated, and your knowledge of the Textus Receptus (TR) is undeniably profound. However, it is with humility and a desire for unity that I address certain concerns.

In your teachings, the emphasis on the TR being perfect without error has been prominent. While this viewpoint holds significant theological weight, it has also led to a division within our Bible Presbyterian Church. More concerning, however, is the disassociation with Jesus as the truth and the Holy Spirit as the Spirit of truth. The core of Christian faith rests on the belief that Jesus is "the way, the truth, and the life" (John 14:6), and that the Holy Spirit is our advocate, guiding us into all truth (John 16:13).

It is crucial that in our pursuit of doctrinal purity, we do not lose sight of the essence of our faith. Jesus Christ is the cornerstone of our beliefs, and the Holy Spirit our guide and comforter. By acknowledging their divine roles, we not only adhere to the foundational truths of Christianity but also foster a spirit of unity and love within our community.

I urge you to consider the broader implications of your teachings. While it is important to uphold the integrity of the scriptures, it is equally vital to do so with a spirit of humility and openness. The apostle Paul reminds us that "knowledge puffs up, but love builds up" (1 Corinthians 8:1). Let us strive to build up the church, to be peacemakers, and to lead with a heart of humility and love.

Please know that this letter is written with the utmost respect for your scholarship and dedication. My hope is that through thoughtful reflection, we can move forward together, united in our shared faith and commitment to the truth.

Thank you for considering my thoughts. I pray for wisdom, grace, and unity as we continue to seek God's will.

Yours in Christ,

Rev. So and So

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.
