The devil came to tempt Jesus Christ to change the stone into bread and eat it, but the Lord rejected its temptation and saying that we are to live by the Word of God.
What is this stone in this present days that the devil continue to tempt us?
1 Timothy 3:8
Deacons, likewise, are to be men worthy of respect, sincere, not indulging in much wine, and not pursuing dishonest gain.
Titus 1:7
Since an overseer is entrusted with God's work, he must be blameless—not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain.
Titus 1:11
They must be silenced, because they are ruining whole households by teaching things they ought not to teach—and that for the sake of dishonest gain.
Those "stones" can be "dishonest gains," what are those dishonest gains?
Those are things, properties or money gain from stealings, cheatings and a lot more like gamblings, drug trafficking, human salavering, corruptions and so on.
If we know those activities are actually not good in the first place, then we should not take those money gained from those activities later, we have nothing to do with dishonest gains! Nor we encourage men to indulge in those vices and crimes!
Ezekiel saw a vision, even dry bones were resurrected to be living men, so that is why the Bible says we have to live by faith!
Correction instills and increases an understanding of right and wrong, as it teaches that human behavior has moral consequences.
The false theologians are tempting God!!

A simple call
It is seem impossible to forget about ourselves, and start to think about others!
What offering we wanted to put into the hands of God? What are we? Are we following Christ?
Follow Christ now, do it or do not do it! How urgent it is! Casting the net into the depth to catch some fishes, but we need times to mend our nets! All these take times and efforts.
Doctrine has it place, and relationship too has its place. Christian life needs unity, by faith and love. That unity is very important.
We know Whom have we believed in, so lets us unite and love one another in Christ, all the remnants of God, the house of God.
But sad to see, so called "truth" has been used to destroy one another!
Verbal Plenary Preservation has been used to attack one another on the pulpits, in the church, and now even in the high court!
What is love means to us now? There is a call to love the Triune God and toward other Christians. Have we pay enough attention to this simple call?

Walking together with Jesus
“Can two walk together except they be agreed?” (Amos 3:3)
Even if I do not agreed with you in VPP, we have decided to follow Jesus. If we are following Christ, we can walk together. We may not and cannot walk together closely, but in the end we are walking together with Jesus!
Stop teaching false teaching, my plea to those false theologians.

Troublemaker and peacemaker
John 16:33
"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."
We have many troubles,
Trouble like this Verbal Plenary Preservation.
Troubles like being hit and bitten by the pagans!
Troubles like poverty and sickness and failures!
Troubles like fanatics, corruption, racism, terrorism, gangsterism...
God will not disappoint you today! Something good you can found in CUV, and NIV and NKJV...KJV!
Do not let the false theologians steal your joys!
Luke 10:21
At that time Jesus, full of joy through the Holy Spirit, said, "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was your good pleasure.
God even revealed things to little children! Do not waste our time in quarrelling for words!
Those theologians are lost in the battles of words, and debates like Bible versions!
But you faithful, remember you are called to praise the Lord Jesus Christ!
Romans 15:7
Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God.
Philippians 4:8
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
May our God the heavenly Father grant us through Jesus Christ, that peace and mercy and grace to all unworthy servants on earth, Jesus Christ said "it is finished," amen, amen, amen!
The Lamb of God, may You have mercy on us!

Kiss and betrayal
On that night of betrayal, Judas kissed Jesus Christ to betray Him, and sold Jesus Christ for 30 pieces of silvers.
Kiss is a sign of love and a sign of tenderness. Betrayal is cruel and a sign of harshness. But Judas used both at the same time. Those false theologians are like Judas.
It is like, they loved the Lord and His Bible, and they are promoting Verbal Plenary Preservation, until they put some of his brothers in Christ into the high court.
These FEBC theologians are like Judas, kissing the Bible, but at the same time, they betrayed his brothers and Christ Jesus!
Betray thou Judas, the theologian, thy Christ and brothers in high court?
Yes, indeed!
Love thou Jesus Christ?
Why you kissed Him and betray Him?

Fret or not fret?
Psalm 37
Of David.
1 Do not fret because of evil men
or be envious of those who do wrong;
I do fret, because I am an evil man!
I do envious because of my own wrong doing!
God gave us a field called "365 days," and those false theologians kept on sowing those seeds of VPP! And now those seeds become some VPP trees, and then those trees become forests, and than those forests become mountains.
You and me, are called to pray, because prayers can move mountains! Today, you are called to make our houses, "a prayer mountain!" Pray without ceasing! Pray in tongue in spirit, and pray in our mind with know languages.
1 Corinthians 14:2a:
For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God.
HOW DARE YOU STOP SOMEONE FROM SPEAKING TO GOD! WHO ARE YOU?
1 Corinthians 14:2b:
Indeed, no one understands him; he utters mysteries with his spirit
HOW DARE YOU STOP SOMEONE FROM SPEAKING TO GOD IN UNKNOWN TONGUE! WHO ARE YOU?
EVEN PAUL DARE NOT!
1 Corinthians 14:39
Therefore, my brothers, be eager to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues.
Do not forbid speaking in tongue! But forbid divisions because of a Bible VERSION AND VPP!
Take note!

A big wooden stick for FEBC theologians
One day a few pastors got together to organize an event in the town, in that meeting, they have some problems hard to solve, one of the pastor suggested to seek help from a local politician!
Another Indian church leader was furious in hearing that suggestion seeking help from a politician, he told other pastors openly, "If any one of you mention again any politician in our meetings in the future, or suggesting seeking helping from those politicians, I am going to bring a big and long wooden stick into the meeting, to whack the pastors who suggest so!" He was angry when churches seeking helps from those evil and corrupted politicians, this is what happened to our country and churches!
I felt very funny in the way that Indian church leader put his words together, and laughed about that for few weeks! "A wooden stick in pastor's meeting!" How about that! You know how evil and corrupted the politicians here have become, even we cannot mention them in our meeting, do not ever say or try to seek help from them!
What about those theologians who are teaching wrong teaching, what kind of stick we have to bring for them! Beware!

A few illustrations for Verbal Plenary Preservation (VPP)
A Christian may becomes a prolific critique, or a commentator and an active participant of social and political affairs in the country, but then he is not to provoke any one to riot, that is the limit of my writings!
Lion dance!
When I was very young as a young child, during the yearly Chinese New Year, I was looking forward for the lion dancer to come to my house, to dance with the drums and burning fire crackers. Many a time, I was turned down, they did not come to my house, those lion dancers ignore our house, maybe because the money in the red packet for them is too little, even I waited for them for whole week during the Chinese New Year! What a disappointment to me.
People believed the lion dance may brings us luck and chase away ghosts and evil spirits. That is why they open their homes for them. This is not true!

Verbal Plenary Preservation is like a "VPP lion dance," it comes and go unexpectedly, loud and fast, after a few minutes, they will leave us, to collect more red packets at another place. My dear, this "VPP lion," will come and go in an unexpected time, so let it be. They will make a lot of noises here and there, some are happy about that lion, they have wrong expectation from a lion dance, but at the end every thing be at peace. For me, Verbal Plenary Preservation is like a lion dance, it is not the real lion! I have no superstitious, like lion dance bringing luck to us, never! Those dancers are for idols worshippers!
After I believed in Christ, I began to ignore lion dance, it is not important any more, now I have Christ Jesus, He bring us better thing, the eternal life and forgiveness! My dear, please ignore those colourful VPP lion dance, it is not important! Rather, we dance with one another in unity, like David dances before his people! I dance because I have Jesus, not because of Verbal Plenary Preservation!
Bye, bye, lion dancers!

Oath of love for ever.
A couple of young man and woman fell in love with first sight, they were dating for many years. One night, the man swore in an oath, promising to love her forever, and he prayed to God Jahweh for their relationship, under the full moon, he laid his hand to his lover's head, and he swore, to love her for ever! But then after some time, they broke off! The man married another young lovely lady and his first sight lover married another handsome man!
What happened to his oath? He has to keep it or not? He has to bear this oath for ever? Since he had swore to love his first sight lover forever, but now he breaks his promise and oath and married another lady, he was very sad in breaking his oath, he was also very sad, in keeping his oath, he has to love another man's wife! He was confused for many years, to keep or not to keep his oath?
Now, the "ten commandments" comes into picture, when this man read the Bible, the Bible says "do not cover another man's wife." At last this man relieved himself from bearing his oath forever! Now he knows he has to love his own wife! That oath already void and invalid! Remember, our Bible verse overrules every oaths we made, we better not to promise any one in an oath in haste, without deep considerations!
The Bible overrules even that Dean Burgon Oath, for me this Dean Burgun oath is actually like a foolish oath done by a young man in haste, and when he is old, he regrets for the oath he had done, he broke that oath after sometimes!
I hope those theologians who had taken the Dean Burgun Oath will one day awake from delusion, that oath means nothing compare to the sacrifice Jesus Christ done for us on the cross two thousand years ago! Burgun did not die for us, but Jesus is!
I hope every BP Christians can say to one another, till death do us apart! This is the most important oath we can make in the church! Amen! I sent you great greetings from My Lord Jesus Christ, Who stand by me, and encourage me to pen this words to those who are in Christ, Be Peace! BP! Amen!

To Dean Burgon...
The Bible is none other than the voice of Him that sitteth upon the Throne!
Every Book of it, every chapter of it, every verse of it, every word of it, every syllable of it, every letter of it, is the direct utterance of the Most High!
The Bible is none other than the Word of God: not some part of it more, some part of it less; but all alike, the utterance of Him who sitteth upon the Throne; faultless, unerring, supreme!
This Perfect Bible is referring to the Original Text by the original authors! We now have 99.9% of the original texts given to mankind even in KJV and other translations. And Verbal Plenary Preservation is saying only the underlying text of the KJV is 100% perfect, is a teaching from earthly men not from heaven!
Here we are, we are not "kia si" to read the King James Version, and we are not "kia su" to read the Chinese union Version, in this stand and we are unite! Take up our clean hands, open our clean mouths, break our clean hearts and start to pray. Amen, Amen and Amen!
Every one in the Church, is brother in Christ, every one of it, every one of the church is in Christ! Amen.
