1. The Danger of False Teachings and Division
Scripture is clear that spreading false doctrine is spiritually destructive. Paul warns in Galatians 1:6-9:
"I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—which is really no gospel at all... But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse!"
Jeffrey Khoo’s insistence on doctrines like "Perfect TR" or "KJV-Onlyism" (when elevated above biblical unity) risks creating unnecessary divisions. While textual debates have their place, Romans 16:17 instructs:
"I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them."
2. The Sin of Schism in the Church
Christ’s prayer in John 17:20-23 emphasizes unity among believers as a testimony to the world. Deliberately splitting churches over secondary issues contradicts this. 1 Corinthians 1:10 admonishes:
"I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought."
If Jeffrey Khoo’s teachings cause strife rather than edification (Ephesians 4:3), he should heed Titus 3:10-11:
"Warn a divisive person once, and then warn them a second time. After that, have nothing to do with them, for such people are warped and sinful."
3. A Call to Repentance and Restoration
Jeffrey Khoo’s actions should be confronted with grace and truth (Matthew 18:15-17). 2 Timothy 2:24-25 reminds us:
"The Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. Opponents must be gently instructed, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth."
True shepherds build up the flock (Acts 20:28), not fracture it for personal agendas. Let us pray for humility and correction, trusting in God’s Word as the ultimate authority.
