Matthew 18:6

 “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.” (Matthew 18:6)

100% purified water

One day, a sick man went to see a doctor

The sick: Doctor, I am sick.

Doctor: Let me check...You are dehydrated, you need to drink more water.

The sick: What kind of water, should I drink?

Doctor: You have to drink purified water, 100% purified, perfect water.

The sick: May I take Essentia Ionized Water? Because I have one at home. That Only purified 99.9%.

Doctor: No, you must not drink that water, you must drink 100% purified water. Not any water, you will die after if drink other kinds of water, for instant 99.9% purified water! That is not good enough, you must drink 100% purified water. Do not say I did not tell you this.

Above is an illustration: How a theologian in a Bible College in Singapore told his students to read KJV only. The theologian told his students, other Bible versions like NIV, ESV, CUV...are not 100% purified like KJV! In order for one to be saved, he or she must read the KJV because the underlying Greek Text of KJV is purified 7 times, 100% perfect. This is how internal warfare began in BPC. The BPC infighting began and this issue of the "perfect Bible" split the Bible Presbyterian churches in Singapore. All because 99.9% is not good enough! We must read the 100% purified perfect Bible. That 0.01% is so important. Theologians fight until today. BPC cannot be united as one, because of that 0.01%. Please look into our hearts first, our hearts 100% pure? 100% Purified? Without sin and iniquity? Full of love? Full of truth? Full of hope? Full of faith? Full of the Holy Spirit? 

Satan has asked to sift all of you

 Luke 22:31-32

31 “Simon, Simon, Satan has asked 

to sift all of you as wheat. 

32 But I have prayed for you, Simon, 

that your faith may not fail. 

And when you have turned back, 

strengthen your brothers.”

Splitting a church because of one minor issue is the work of the devil! Splitting a church because of one personal view-"Verbal Plenary Preservation" is the work of the devil! Many have fallen into the trap of the devil, to split the church!

Satanic theologians sifting our BPC churches?

This is one of Quek Suan Yew's writings revealing his evil intentions, the paragraph below is quoted from his weekly at: https://cpbpc-documents.s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/Worship/pnw.pdf

Notice the word “sieve” used by Quek Suan Yew in the weekly below: 

“There are millions of examples throughout the history of the church where powerful men thought they could outwit God by hurting and killing God’s faithful children. Not one has succeeded. Every single one of them devised his evil ways but the LORD directed his steps. Even when thousands of God's servants were martyred for their faith, their martyrdom was the day when all of them were called home to glory, exactly according to God’s plan for His children. The outcome will always be such that even the wrath of evil men will praise the LORD. Psalm 76:10 “Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.” Man may weave their evil plans but the LORD will surely sieve them out and permit only that which will accomplish His holy will, especially in the lives of all His faithful children. Amen.”

 

English Definition of “sift” and “sieve”

a: to put through a sieve, sift flour; b: to separate or separate out by or as if by putting through a sieve.

 A sieve is a tool you would use to separate smaller, finer pieces from larger pieces. It is a noun. Sift is the action of using a sieve. Sift is a verb and sieve is a noun.

 For example: "Can you use that sieve to sift through the flour."

My response to him:

Only Satan does the kind of sifting to believers in the church, please read, “And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:” (Luke 22:31.  KJV)

Quek Suan Yew has taken action to sift Mandarin-speaking brothers and sisters from his church, he chased them out because the mandarin congregation's pastor did not support Verbal Plenary Preservation. He separated those proponents and opponents of Verbal Plenary Preservation in his church. He oppressed, abused and bullied those opponents of Verbal Plenary Preservation until they left the church!

 Quek thought God will sift those opponents out of His Church! So he did it himself. This is where he gets his gun powder to shoot his brothers and sisters in Christ, this is simply satanic I say.

God never does this kind of sifting to His own church. Sifting among the brothers and sisters? Sifting the Christian Churches? Splitting the invisible church? No! He wants to unite His church as one. The church is one Body in Christ. In the next verse, Jesus said, “But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers’ (Luke 22:32). He wants Peter to bring the church together.

  Yes, God is sifting the believers from the unbelievers in the end. Never did, God sifts believers from believers, there is a case of temporal separation, but that is not permanent. After a sinful brother repents from his sins, he will be received back into the church. Furthermore, it is not a sin to reject unbiblical, personal opinions or views like Verbal Plenary Preservation. Verbal Plenary Preservation is not an issue of the life and death of a believer!

 Why Quek Suan Yew has that kind of mentality, “sifting” church members because of Verbal Plenary Preservation? 

 Here is a hint, he has devils in his heart. This is satanic. We read, only Satan sifts believers. God sifts unbelievers from believers in the end.

The false theologians are misleading the BPC church, using Bible verses to support their “separatist stand,” so that BPC can be separated one from another, according to their devilish intention hidden in their hearts.

These false theologians are trying to downplay the BPC’s unity. Labeling those who oppose his personal view - Verbal Plenary Preservation to be chaff, and to be sifted by God! This is evil! Hurting the body of Christ!

My Conclusion:

False doctrine brings up a false theologian, but all are satanic!

 

Westminster Confession of Faith 20:2

 Chapter 20 - Of Christian Liberty, and Liberty of Conscience.

Section 2.) God alone is Lord of the conscience,(1) and hath left it free from the doctrines and commandments of men, which are, in anything, contrary to His Word, or beside it, in matters of faith or worship.(2) So that to believe such doctrines, or to obey such commands out of conscience, is to betray true liberty of conscience:(3) and the requiring of an implicit faith, and an absolute and blind obedience, is to destroy liberty of conscience, and reason also.(4)

(1) Jas 4:12; Ro 14:4. (2) Ac 4:19; Ac 5:29; 1Co 7:23; Mt 23:8,9,10; 2Co 1:24; Mt 15:9. (3) Col 2:20,22,23; Gal 1:10; Gal 2:4,5; Gal 5:1. (4) Ro 10:17; Ro 14:23; Isa 8:20; Ac 17:11; Jn 4:22; Hos 5:11; Rev 13:12,16,17; Jer 8:9.

My response: 

To believe such doctrines like Verbal Plenary Preservation, or to obey such commands out of conscience, is to betray true liberty of conscience.

(3) and the requiring of an implicit faith, and an absolute and blind obedience, is to destroy liberty of conscience, and reason also.(4)

Is the King James Version of the Bible the most accurate translation?

 

Assure Them These Issues Aren’t New

Christians who worry about the “omissions” in new translations are usually the kind of people who have a respect for the old and reservations about the new. That’s why it can be helpful to assure them that though these issues might be new to them, they are not new to the church.

For example, while recently studying the “missing” ending of the Lord’s Prayer, I discovered that William Tyndale didn’t include it in his first English translation of the Bible in 1526. Knowing that Tyndale is someone my congregation reveres as a godly martyr as well as good translator, I made sure to share this fact with them.

I’ve also found it useful to point out that the original King James Version included textual variants in the margin, and the King James translators defended this practice against the same objections people still have:

Some peradventure would have no variety of senses to be set in the margin, lest the authority of the Scriptures for deciding of controversies by that show of uncertainty, should somewhat be shaken. But we hold their judgment not to be so sound in this point.

If it was good enough for the King James translators, it’ll likely be good enough for them.

Justin Dillehay (MDiv, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary) is a pastor of Grace Baptist Church in Hartsville, Tennessee, where he resides with his wife, Tilly, and his children, Norah, Agnes, and Henry. He is a contributing editor of The Gospel Coalition.

Observation: This means that the original translators of the KJV did not see the underlying Greek text of the KJV as perfect without variants. They were not sure in some places. The 1611 KJV has textual critical notes, places where the translators or editors felt it important to tell readers when the Greek New Testament manuscripts to which they had access included variant readings. Such notes are not a new invention.

Let go our pride and let God lead us!

Matthew 6:33 ►

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

A sign in the sky

 I am waiting for a sign in the sky, to continue the writing, have to wait a while.

Apostle Judas Iscariot

One thing comes to my mind.

Judas Iscariot was under Jesus' instruction. He was listening to His commandments, like the other Apostles, under constant learning for more or less 3 and half years. He is called one of the Apostles, in the end, Satan entered his heart!

John 13:2 ►

The evening meal was in progress,
and the devil had already prompted Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus.



Then Luke wrote, Judas Iscariot was one of the Apostles, even that, Satan entered his heart. 

Luke 22:3
3 Then Satan entered the heart of Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve apostles.

We have to be very careful about this!

This applies to theologians in Far Eastern Bible College, and ministers in Bible Presbyterian Church. And all the servants in the church!

There is not even one perfect man on earth in these last days

I have met so many fundamentalists in my whole life, some of them are very hard working, but i find one thing under the sun, no one is perfect, all have sinned.

Paul's words are true until today.

Ephesians 2:8-9
8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—
and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—
9 not by works, so that no one can boast.

He continues in Romans chapter 3

No One Is Righteous
9 What shall we conclude then? Do we have any advantage? Not at all! For we have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under the power of sin.

10 As it is written:

“There is no one righteous, not even one;
11 there is no one who understands;
there is no one who seeks God.
12 All have turned away,
they have together become worthless;
there is no one who does good,
not even one.”[b]
13 “Their throats are open graves;
their tongues practice deceit.”[c]
“The poison of vipers is on their lips.”[d]
14 “Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”[e]
15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood;
16 ruin and misery mark their ways,
17 and the way of peace they do not know.”[f]
18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”[g]

19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God. 20 Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.

No one is perfect in the sight of God, accept the one and only Jesus Christ.
I find no perfect fundamentalist on earth! All are sinners!

Paul continues to write in Romans 4:7,

“Blessed are those
whose transgressions are forgiven,
whose sins are covered.
8 Blessed is the one
whose sin the Lord will never count against them.”

Romans 9

15 For he says to Moses,
“I will have mercy on whom I have mercy,
and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”[f]

16 It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy. 17 For Scripture says to Pharaoh: “I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”[g] 18 Therefore God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy, and he hardens whom he wants to harden.

19 One of you will say to me: “Then why does God still blame us? For who is able to resist his will?” 20 But who are you, a human being, to talk back to God? “Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it, ‘Why did you make me like this?’”[h] 21 Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for special purposes and some for common use?

No one is perfect on earth in the last days! We are saved by grace.

Onoda did not know the second world war is over

Onoda continued his campaign as a Japanese holdout, initially living in the mountains of Lubang Island in the Philippines, with three fellow soldiers (Private Yuichi Akatsu, Corporal Shōichi Shimada and Private First Class Kinshichi Kozuka).^[6] During his stay, Onoda and his companions carried out guerrilla activities and engaged in several shootouts with the local police.^[7]

The first time they saw a leaflet announcing that Japan had surrendered was in October 1945; another cell had killed a cow and found a leaflet left behind by islanders which read: "The war ended on 15 August. Come down from the mountains!"^[8] However, they distrusted the leaflet. They concluded that it was Allied propaganda and also believed that they would not have been fired on if the war had indeed been over. Toward the end of 1945, leaflets were dropped by air with a surrender order printed on them from General Tomoyuki Yamashita of the Fourteenth Area Army. To the men who had been in hiding for over six months, this leaflet was the only evidence they had that the war was over. Onoda's group studied the leaflet closely to determine whether it was genuine, and decided it was not.^{[1][failed verification]}

One of the four soldiers, Yuichi Akatsu, walked away from the others in September 1949 and surrendered to Philippine forces in 1950, after six months on his own. This seemed like a security problem to the others and they became even more cautious. In 1952, letters and family pictures were dropped from an aircraft urging them to surrender, but the three soldiers concluded that this was a trick. Shimada was shot in the leg during a shoot-out with local fishermen in June 1953, after which Onoda nursed him back to health. On 7 May 1954, Shimada was killed by a shot fired by a search party looking for the men. Kozuka was killed by two shots fired by local police on 19 October 1972^[7] while he and Onoda, as part of their guerrilla activities, were burning rice that had been collected by farmers. Onoda was now alone.

On 20 February 1974, Onoda met a Japanese man, Norio Suzuki, who was traveling around the world, looking for "Lieutenant Onoda, a panda, and the Abominable Snowman, in that order".^[4] Suzuki found Onoda after four days of searching. Onoda described this moment in a 2010 interview: "This hippie boy Suzuki came to the island to listen to the feelings of a Japanese soldier. Suzuki asked me why I would not come out...".^[1] Onoda and Suzuki became friends, but Onoda still refused to surrender, saying that he was waiting for orders from a superior officer. Suzuki returned to Japan with photographs of himself and Onoda as proof of their encounter, and the Japanese government located Onoda's commanding officer, Major Yoshimi Taniguchi, who had long surrendered and since become a bookseller. Taniguchi went to Lubang Island, and on 9 March 1974, he finally met with Onoda and fulfilled a promise he had made back in 1944: "Whatever happens, we'll come back for you". Taniguchi then issued Onoda the following orders:

1. In accordance with the Imperial command, the Fourteenth Area Army has ceased all combat activity.
2. In accordance with military Headquarters Command No. A-2003, the Special Squadron of Staff's Headquarters is relieved of all military duties.
3. Units and individuals under the command of Special Squadron are to cease military activities and operations immediately and place themselves under the command of the nearest superior officer. When no officer can be found, they are to communicate with the American or Philippine forces and follow their directives.^[9]

Onoda was thus properly relieved of duty, and he surrendered. He turned over his sword, a functioning Arisaka Type 99 rifle, 500 rounds of ammunition and several hand grenades, as well as the dagger his mother had given him in 1944 to kill himself with if he was captured.^[10] Only Private Teruo Nakamura, arrested on 18 December 1974 in Indonesia, held out longer.

I have met so many theologians in my whole life, fundamentalists, liberals, evangelicals, etc. God knew who are they. 

If i keep on throwing stones at every barking dog, i will not reach my destiny in the end.

So, I remember one thing, the war between brothers and sisters in Christ is over because of Jesus Christ, he has brought us together. 

And then, we are to keep on teaching the whole counsel of God, keep on holding the truth, keep on preaching Christ, keep on loving one another.

1 Peter 4:8 ►

Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
