VPP is heresy?

You like to say "God has preserved 100% of His words." 

But where? Which Manuscript? Which Text? 

Show me!

Be honest! Do not tell lie, if you do not know, just say I do not know!

If you are not sure, just say, I am not sure!

When you tell a lie in the first place, people will not trust you anymore, especially doctrinal issues, and you are son of the devil in telling lies.

You became a false prophet, false teacher, heretic!

Cat Dog fight in court

Life Bible Presbyterian Church is now fighting with Far Eastern Bible College, verbally and spiritually, they are indulge in close range warfare. It is sad to see these things happened to Christians. 

What I can say is, they are still human. Easily fallen in sin.

The funny mentalist.

We have ordinary hard head fundamentalists, I called them the funny mentalist.

Their arrogance with their man-made VPP-KJV-only theory.

They want every one to talk and walk like them.

First step they probably take on you: they will try to turn over you, they want to brain wash you to accept their funnymental, VPP-KJV-only. They want you to respect them at the same time.

If you reject their view at this point of time.

They will take the Second step: they try to stay away some distances from you, but they are still warning you. Hoping you will repent from sin of rejecting their "truth"

If you still reject them at this point of time.

They will take the third step: they will try to say to you, "stay away from us," and they will call your name names, like "Neo-Evangelical, liberals, modernist...."

If you still reject them at this point of time.

They will take the forth step: they will see you like seeing ghosts, they treat you as an unbeliever. 

They probably will take the last stand to ask you to leave fundamentalists alone, they want you to avoid criticize them, do not touch them, be silent and serve the Lord as usual...and it is suggested to me by these funny mentalist, it is better for me to leave fundamentalism, since I do not like fundamentalism so much, just leave fundamentalism, go away and take another stand like Evangelical or Neo-Evangelical...They indirectly said to me, "I do not like to see your face in fundamental circle!"

I had met many of these funny mentalist in Bible Presbyterian Churches, still they want some respects from us in the end after all those unnecessary squabbles!

They like to say to every one, "For you cannot do anything against our truth, but only for the truth."

Funny but it is true.

A leader

"A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way" - quoted by American author John C Maxwell.

Direction

I would like to share a quotation from Jim Rohn with all of you, "You cannot change your destination overnight, but you can change your direction overnight".

Jewish Folk Song, ידיד נפש אב רחמ

I dedicated this song to Life Bible Presbyterian Church and Far Eastern Bible College.. 

Here's the words in Hebrew and English, 

Beloved of the soul, Compassionate Father, ידיד נפש אב הרחמן

draw Your servant to your will; משוך עבדך אל רצונך

then Your servant will hurry like a hart ירוצ עבדך כמו איל

to bow before Your majesty; ישתחוה אל מול הדרך

to him Your friendship will be sweeter יערב לו ידידותיך

than the dripping of the honeycomb and any taste. מנפת צוף וכל טעם

Edifying?

You may say my blog is so unedifying, but did you ask the most crucial question, "Can Bible Presbyterian Churches edify people?"

Some Bible Presbyterian Churches do edify people in Biblical doctrines and way of worshiping and witnessing. But many Bible Presbyterian Churches do not edify people at all...Many Bible Presbyterian Churches as I know, persecuted servants of the Lord silently. 

The elders and pastors of these churches let some pastors, stave to death spiritually! They sabotaged and isolated some of the old pastors until they die silently in shame. History tells again and again, they did that, they still do that until today. This is why I continue to refute Far Eastern Bible College and Bible Presbyterian Churches until today.

Many of the servants of the Lord, died of unhappiness, due to long hours of in fighting among themselves, there is no reconciliation until they died, so sad. One of the example is, an old pastor told me before he dies, he told me how sad he was, how unhappy he was, how regret he was, seeing so much hatred in Bible Presbyterian Churches, how disappointed he was to serve in Bible Presbyterian Church, to be mistreated many times by elders and pastors in Bible Presbyterian Churches circles! He sacrificed his life for Bible Presbyterian Churches, but Bible Presbyterian elders and pastors did not love him, even do not appreciate him, as one of the servant serving together in Bible Presbyterian Churches. Elder and pastor have problems in their relationship! They just do not know how to relate with one to another in love! 

I prayed to God, to do something in Bible Presbyterian Churches, no matter what it's cost, it must be done urgently, before it is too late! Some old good pastors were isolated in their life time, if they can die in peace, let them die at least with a little dignity!

Lord Jahweh, our Savour and God, please hear my cry, for the evil is so great in these churches, please uphold your servants, may you grant love in Bible Presbyterian Churches. I pray in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Land Marks

The Old Testament says, how good it is for brothers to dwell in peace!

Verbal Plenary Preservation has broken that bond of peace!

Our Goodness is found in Jesus Christ only! 

God gave Eden for Adam and Eve, this is the first landmark! Adam and Eve later had sinned against the Lord, they had been chased out from Eden, the landmark of Eden was erased for ever.

God promised Abraham a piece of land, and He gave him the promised land, this was another land mark, later Israel was divided, divided into north and south, after they disobeyed the Lord! This landmark changed and removed from time to time! Landmarks changed by man's rebellious when they sinned against the Lord. 

The Israelites killed some prophets and husbandman of God! Until today the promised land is still occupied by others, and the landmarks was changed from the beginning of first kingdom until now. The landmark's border never been fixed yet even today!

There are so many Bible colleges being closed down here and there, and there are so many new Bible Colleges being set up here and there. There is up and down, do not take pride for Far Eastern Bible College in Singapore, God can rise up another one, even from the stone can comes out a praise, even a shout for the Lord!

God want us to dwell in peace, and not to take pride in a single Bible College, or a bit of idea like Verbal Plenary Preservation. (VPP)

The tongue issue had split the church once, and now, vpp again taken some of us into divisions and fights!

Why let a single man broken the bond in the Spirit, a false theologian has broken the Bible Presbyterian's unity. And he let all the church members suffered for him! This is called Selfish ambition! 

Flesh and blood is this I called, I was joking in vain, how one day we become like one of those gangster, taking a stone and wanting to stone the false theologian! But stopped, stoning is against the teaching in the Bible, so do not stone any false theologian! Hurting others is a criminal act, so we have to stop stoning anyone!

Jesus even submit His Soul into the hands of God the Father, why can't we submit the Bible College to God, and dwell in peace! And put down that VPP, and do not let VPP put us down. 

How sad to see brother to fight in the high court, and the Bible College taken the place of the Lord.

For sure the land marks will changes from time to time! 

I am preaching a sermon called, "Brotherhood Plenary Preservation!"

Even Sister Helen and Brother Henry long to hear this sermon, and they too died for the theologian's sake!

It is better than obeying God's commandment, than sacrifice all of us for one Bible College!

I am writing without common sense, since i am in flesh, flesh and blood!

The meek

To help us to stop a land dispute, the Lord says in the New Testament:

Matthew 5:5
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. 

(Honestly, I am not having any land in this earth until now! Accept that small piece of land I am going to buy for my body and ashes, flesh and blood, i called it the graveyard)

If there is any other verses given in New Testament to settle a dispute for landmark in the church backyard, i hope can find more Bible verses to support my view, to be updated. 

But what command Jesus gave to St Matthew, the tax collector, to continue to collect tax, or to let go his landmark and belonging? Or to follow Him? Or both?

Matthew 9:9 (King James Version)

And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.

Have you decided to follow Jesus?

Matthew has no dispute, he follows Christ.

The disputes of a landmark

Deuteronomy 19:14
Thou shalt not remove thy neighbour's landmark, which they of old time have set in thine inheritance, which thou shalt inherit in the land that the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it.

Directions is given to fix landmarks in Canaan. It is the will of God that every one should know his own; and that means should be used to hinder the doing and suffering of wrong. This, without doubt, is a moral precept, and still binding. Let every man be content with his own lot, and be just to his neighbours in all things. (De 19:15-21) (Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary )

I think in the context of the whole Old Testament, the landmark must be preserved in the first place like the Garden of Aden, The Canaan, the Israelite Davidic Kingdom and so on.

Because of sin, the one and only Garden of Aden vanished, the promised land was divided, and so it too divided into north and south. But at last God overruled all these landmarks from time to time! Even God allowed the Assyria and Babylon taken captived the people from Israel and Judah. And they lost that piece of land for some time. Until in 1948, the landmark was returned to Israelites, but that land mark too may changed from time to time, until today there are disputes.

Proverbs 22:28
Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set...(commentary from mattew henry), "We are taught not to trespass on another man's right. And it is hard to find a truly industrious man. Such a man will rise. Seest thou a man diligent in the business of religion? He is likely to excel. Let us then be diligent in God's work." (Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary)

Is Verbal Plenary Preservation a business of religion or personal gain? It is in God's work? These two questions are the most prominent, in term of keeping a "landmark" or not to keep a landmark, like a Bible College! Why the Bible College was set up in the first place, and why now they want to put down the Bible College?

We should not misused the Bible verse like Deuteronomy 19:14 and Proverbs 22:28, and force other to accept a false teaching or wrong view about Bible preservation. if the church has accept the CUV and KJV, as the Bible for the people, then there will be not further dispute for any landmark at all, but since, the false theologian has split so many churches due to his personal view VPP, so he has to answer to God! In creating those disputes until the landmark removed or changed. You want VPP or the landmark for a Bible College? 

How many landmarks do you want on the way home to heaven? We needed wisdom! God does not encourage us to quarrel for any landmark in New Testament, but He commanded us to go into "the end of the world" and make disciples!

May God forgive us!
