Downgrade of FEBC after Rev. Timothy Tow

This posting is copied from http://valiantfortruth.tripod.com/id31.html

When ‘Dr.’ Jeffrey Khoo became the Academic Dean of the FEBC and, subsequently its Principal (when Rev. Timothy Tow passed away) the spiritual rot that started a few years earlier began to get worse.

‘Dr.’ Prabhdas Koshy, one of its lecturers, denied, against all historical evidences and facts, that the Apostles used and quoted from the Septuagint (Did Jesus And The Apostles Rely On The Corrupt Septuagint? http://www.febc.edu.sg/VPP5.htm )

Jeffrey Khoo claimed that the KJV translators restored the lost autographs (Originals) through their translation of the Bible into English. The KJV translators never made such a claim. They were, after all, translators and, not prophets restoring the lost autographs. 

‘Dr.’ Quek Suan Yew, one of FEBC’s lecturers, wrote one of the most startling statement, “Without the doctrine of VPP there is no BIBLE...” (NO VPP, NO KJV! NO CUV!,Elder's page of Calvary Pandan Weekly of 2nd Sept 2007).

Now, according to FEBC, VPP is inextricably linked to the KJV bible. Since the KJV came into being in 1611, it follows therefore, that according to ‘Dr.’ Quek, there was no Bible until 1611! However, this contradicts what the Bible says about the Word (John 1:1, Proverbs 8:22). 

Paul Ferguson, a new addition to the FEBC, found a comrade-in-arms in Islamist apologist Ahmad Deedat. Ferguson, a Christian Taliban, uses Deedat to attack the Christian Bible (The Burning Bush, Jan 2009). This is not surprising as VPP’s understanding of revelation is identical to Islam’s and the Mormons. The Islamists believe that their Original scripture is inscribed in Arabic on a tablet in heaven; they were then revealed to Muhammad by an angel:

“The Qu’ran is a record of the exact words revealed by Allah through the Angel Gabriel to the Prophet Muhammad. It was memorised by Muhammad and then dictated to his Companions, and written down by scribes, who crosschecked it during his lifetime. Not one word of its 114 chapters, suras, has been changed over the centuries, so that the Qu’ran is in every detail the unique and miraculous text which was revealed to Muhammad fourteen centuries ago.”[1]

‘Drs.’ Khoo, Koshy, Quek and Ferguson subscribe to this theory of revelation, the only difference from the Islamist’s being that God revealed to the KJV translators what the autographic texts were.

It logically follows that they categorically reject any form of textual criticism since the Hebrew and Greek underlying the KJV Bible is revealed directly from God to the KJV translators!

They superstitiously claim that unless Christians have the complete autographical texts in their hands, Christians cannot say they have the Word of God. 

Ferguson’s fluffy articles employ sleight-of-hand reasoning to attack the Christian Bible. For instance, he quotes from anti-Christian Bart Ehrman[2], and concludes:

“such a statement shows the depth of rationalistic and unbiblical thought that is now prevalent in modern fundamentalism”. 

Dr. Ehrman is not at all a Christian but an atheist, so how can Ferguson use an atheist to represent modern fundamentalism?

Jeffrey Khoo’s Illegal Degree

The BBC published a report about the University of Wales having links to a bible college in the USA giving out illegal degrees.

The University of Wales is a "laughing stock" for having awarded degrees at a controversial bible college in the USA, an American education expert says.

Trinity College of the Bible in Newburgh, Indiana, is not officially accredited, which means many states consider its degrees to be illegal.

Dr John Bear said the university's links with the college, which offers mainly distance education courses of a religious nature, was damaging.

The university has now cut the ties.

Jeffrey Khoo, current principal of the FEBC, earned a ‘illegal’ degree from the Trinity (College of the Bible) Theological Seminary.

Nature of FEBC’s down-grade

Under Khoo, the FEBC has lost its status as a Reformed bible seminary.

Khoo, together with Quek, Koshy (who earned their Th.D from FEBC) and Ferguson (who is doing his Th. D in FEBC) have taken FEBC down the road of the KJV Onlyism cult of D.A. Waite. In their tenet of VPP number 6, Waite has been given miraculous power to know what the autographical texts are. Essentially, they hold similar position as the Ruckmanites, the only difference is that the Ruckmanites are more honest about their position, whereas the VPPists are dodgy, speaking half-truths, misquoting and misrepresenting.

Scripture readings

If you want to experience God working in your life, come to Scripture with a prayerful, expectant, purpose-filled attitude. The mourner will be comforted. The weary will gain strength. Those convicted of their sin will repent and know peace. All will sense joy. Recognize what a gift God’s Word is.

Dogs and cats are fighting

Since the FEBC will stay on the same plot of land co-habbit with Life BP Church, the cats and dogs's fight came into picture, weather you will build a tall wall to separate FEBC from the church or not, it is just a mere consideration, but the fighting continues, it is not the end yet, the fighting just started after the appeal was allowed.

The false teachers will began to teach heresy with higher look, they are proud, even their appeal being granted. 

Both FEBC and Life BP Church will start another round of fightings this time, enemy and neighbor at the same premises, well, interesting, lets see who is going to lose at the end, how to witness for the Lord, time will tell us!

New fights on the block!

CNY

Chinese New Year

This rabbit year is a year of fight, churches and bible college fight, pastors and pastors fight over doctrines, people like to fight, fight, fight!

Happy new year!

The picture of the false teachers

The false teachers are:

first from the left, Jeffrey Khoo, the head of all of these false teachers.
third from the left, Quek SY and
fourth from the left, Prabudas Koshy.

Wolf in sheep clothing

The false teachers in FEBC in Singapore, had turned into wolves in sheep clothing from 2002 onward!

Separating from Far Eastern Bible College

“Divisions and separations are most objectionable in religion. They weaken the cause of true Christianity ...But before we blame people for them, we must be careful that we lay the blame where it is deserved. False doctrine and heresy are even worse than schism. If people separate themselves from teaching that is positively false and unscriptural, they ought to be praised rather than reproved. In such cases separation is a virtue and not a sin.” -- J.C. Ryle

People who stand with the false teachers in FEBC

There are many naive people who are standing together hands in hands with the false teachers in Far Eastern Bible College, Singapore.

Selfish ambition

The faculty members in FEBC have this "selfish ambition," in teaching Verbal Plenary Preservation.

Why this small false teaching become so big, and bigger, and bigger than God Himself, because of selfish ambition. 

2 Corinthians 12:20
For I am afraid that when I come I may not find you as I want you to be, and you may not find me as you want me to be. I fear that there may be discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, slander, gossip, arrogance and disorder.

Philippians 2:3
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves,

James 3:14
But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth.

James 3:16
For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.

Second Commandment

According to second commandment, we are told not to worship thing:

Do not worship things.

Do not worship even Bible, Bible is a thing God given to His people, Bible is God's Word.

Moses broke the stone tablets, when the people rebelled against God, God did not punish Moses for that, God knew the Word of God is given to man, only the Holy Spirit can make sense to the Word of God in a man's heart. God do not want us to worship His Word!

Moses broke the stone tablets!!
