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!

Stones
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!

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.

Urban Legend?
One full moon night in the month of January 2010, a young man went to a rural sea side, there he prayed for his life, family and ministry, he was alone at that time.
He asked a sign from God in the sky, to know what kind of life worth living! After some times, some dark clouds formed in the full moon sky, dark clouds. Many shapes of cloud moved through that full broom moon, the sky was bright clear shined by the moonlight! The clouds were very vivid to that young man.
One cloud formed miraculously like a big dark fish in the sky, it then blew by the strong wind moved towards the moon, and then covered the moon, and lastly passed the moon. The young man remembered the Bible says we are to become a fisher of man. That scenery did really impressed deeply the young man, such a cloud look alike a big black fish, a sign from God for his request? What a feeling, his was in spirit awesomely, looking at that cloud, a moment in his life! He was happy to see that kind of weird thing happened before his eyes!
After the clouds disappeared before him, and he continue to pray for a time, and then he drove home, within a few minutes after the car started to move, a cat with a living fish in its mouth, the cat was biting the living fish, the cat run quickly across the road, the young man stopped his car to look at the cat, the young man acclaimed in his heart, "Fish! Fish" This time, the man remembered "Double is confirmation!" Two sightings of fish in a night of prayer! Amen, amen.
My dear, we are to set apart our time and money for God's use, and offer our whole life to become a fisher of man! Your life, which you yourself do not want or appreciate, please give it back to God, God wanted to change your life to be a fisher of man!
Take up the CUV Bible, march forward, army of God, be a fisher of man! "Fisherman catches more and bigger fish!" This life is worth for us to live on!
Faith come by hearing, hearing by the word of God!
"....The VPP of Scripture is a position of faith that is based solely on the Word of God."
I personally do not agree on this statement!
Just in case, they quoted this verse, “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Rom 10:17) to support their VPP.
VPP is a blind faith, not base on the Word of God, VPP is a teaching from man, not from God's Word! Where in the Bible, saying that we have only one perfect Bible translation! Tell me that verse! And which Bible verse say we have many other corrupted Bible translation, for example Chinese Union Version.
In saying Chinese Union Version is a corrupted Bible translation, they are attacking the Chinese Bible, it is attacking those who translating the Bible into Chinese language! Are they the translators not pious than us, more pious than those false theologians? Who are we to attack those devoted Chinese Bible translators! Great sin in attacking them! We believe Chinese Bible is not perfect, but it is accepted as our Bible translation! There are better Bible translations, off course!
The day those theologians split and chase after the Chinese Pastors away, that day they have done a great sin unto the Body of God! Listen to this, "the body of Christ is one!" This is well know in our Bible. Never before we have any time this in our Bible "the Bible of Christ is one!" No, never!
The devil try to confuse some of us, and the theologians have believe in its lies!

Keywords: Childlike and Childish
We have childlike faith in KJV and CUV, this is good, we are called to be born again, Mark 10:15, "I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." And then we are called to live in the kingdom of God like a child! Generously we can accept one another childlike trust in God!
How many Bible translations does God has? A lot more, more than a dozen! Does God like CUV and KJV? Yes, He does! Even when God created man, He said it is very Good! God given tribes and boundaries to every one, and He loves them! Israel has 12 tribes too, and even the world is made with many oceans!
I am humorous and funny. Why? Because I like to joke! But there are times to be serious!
Suppose I have ten children under a roof, how many pair of shoes we have? I asked the VPP theologians, they said only one! Only one, the perfect one for us! But I told them again and again, we have more than 12 pairs of shoes naturally!
They get angry when they provoked by my illustration, in saying I took lightly "one perfect Bible" to compare to "a pair of shoes!" I wanted them to think correctly, how can we have only one perfect translation in whole world with different tribes and languages?
Until they get mad with me and pull my head, and grabbed my hair, and make my head bold with a hair cut, because they say in the Bible we are to be bold, they misqouted some Bible verses to support their views, "Luke 11:8, I tell you, though he will not get up and give him the bread because he is his friend, yet because of the man's boldness he will get up and give him as much as he needs. And Acts 4:29, Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness." The theologians said there are words like, "boldness," so we are to have bold head!
The theologians said VPP is what they teach, the word "perfect" is used onto the Bible, this is what VPP all about, so we are to make our Bible, as perfect as the original copy, we are to reproduce the authenticated Bible! The authorised KJV is not good enough, we must have this authenticated Greek and Hebrew Bible! Then they provoked some followers to take oaths on this VPP!
I see these theologians are childish, they do not have child like trust like us!

The Renewing of the Mind
I like to tell the young people about this "Holy Bible" What is the meaning of the words, "Holy Bible" printed in the cover of every Bible, in Chinese, in English, in Malay, in whatever translation, what is that "Holy Bible" means to us?
I do not like to tell them "Vun Ne" Bible Only." "Vun Ne" mean "one" in a local Indian dialect. I do not like to tell them a lie, a lie like we have only one perfect Bible in this world in KJV. Nor in the underlying text, in the Greek and Hebrew!
When we are wrong we are wrong! We cannot fix that in the high court! Merciful is the followers of Christ!
Scripture explains scripture! Another thing, Bible translation explains Bible translations. KJV explains CUV!
What is the meaning of "Holy Bible"
‘Holy’: in the sense of being dedicated to God, no reference being made here to ‘purity’ of ‘perfection’. ‘Acceptable’ Thus, to be godly, is to give up, ourselves to God. (Ro 12:3-8)
It is in this sense of "Holy," the Bible is and was a Book dedicated and consecrated to and for God, not to man only, nor to theologians only, but to God and His faithfully followers, to judge the world and ourselves with it.
Do not put ourselves higher than God, if we do, we are like Lucifer, let God's way higher than us, His way is higher than us!
May God bless us!
Verse for the Week:
Psalm 104:15
And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart.
Thought in this week:
Wine can make your heart glad? Think about this!
Song of the week!
