Dear brothers and sisters,
Recently, accusations have been made against churches and pastors who do not accept the teachings of Verbal Plenary Preservation, KJV-Onlyism, and a “Perfect TR.” These claims are not historic doctrines of the church, nor are they taught in Scripture. Instead, they have caused division, confusion, and hurt among God’s people.
The Bible is clear: God’s Word is perfectly true and eternally preserved (Psalm 119:89; Matthew 24:35). But no single translation or printed edition can claim to be the one “perfect” Bible. To insist otherwise is to go beyond Scripture.
True preservation is seen in how God has faithfully kept His Word across the manuscripts, languages, and translations that point us to Christ. Our unity must be in Christ and His gospel—not in elevating one version of the Bible over all others.
As Paul warns, “Mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them” (Romans 16:17). Division is not caused by those who defend the truth, but by those who introduce teachings that Scripture does not support.
Let us not be distracted by strife. Instead, let us remain rooted in the Word of God, centered on Christ, and filled with the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, and gentleness.
In Christ,
BPC
