Once there was a middle age man named Mr. Stephen, he was just graduated from a Bible college, and he was serving some where in a city, a senior pastor whose name was Timthy Tow, wanted to ordain him into the Christian ministry, this Stephen was a strange and angry man, he told the old senior pastor, "Get lost! Don't touch my head with your dirty hands! I do not want to be ordained by your dirty hands."
Stephen was insulting the old senior pastor TT that he has a pair of dirty hands! He was indeed a dirty fellow!
As someone has said, “Wisdom doesn't necessarily come with age. Sometimes age just shows up all by itself.”
Do you want to be ordained by some dirty hands, no, do not let people "any how any how" put their dirty hands on your head!!!! If they did, they are insulting you!

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!

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!
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!!

Text Book
The Bible is a Text Book given by God, do not worship this Text Book.
Worship the Triune God!!!

Verbal Plenary Preservation is a false teaching
A controversial doctrine is at the centre of a legal dispute between a church and its affiliated Bible college, according to the New Paper.
Life Bible-Presbyterian Church has taken the board of directors of Far Eastern Bible College to court in its attempt to force the latter to relocate for spreading deviant teachings. The church issued a writ of summons against the board of the college in September and a pre-trial conference was held on November 12.
The teaching in question, the theory of Verbal Plenary Preservation (VPP), refers to the belief that the infallible and inerrant words of Scripture are found in the Traditional/Byzantine/Majority manuscripts and fully represented in the Printed and Received Text (Textus Receptus) that underlie the Reformation Bibles best represented by the King James Version and not in the texts of Westcott and Hort that underlie the many modern versions of the English Bible like the NIV, NASV, ESV, RSV, TEV, CEV, TLB etc. according to the FEBC website. Thus, proponents of VPP hold that only the KJV is to be used in the Church.
The roots of the dispute were planted when in 2002 Dr Jeffrey Khoo, one of the respondents in the writ and a lecturer at FEBC, started propagating an extreme view of the doctrine at the college, according to a Lianhe Zaobao report on November 11.
This view was unacceptable to Life BPC and some other lecturers who disagreed with the extreme version resigned. Another respondent to the writ, Rev Dr Timothy Tow, who founded the church in 1950, resigned in 2003 and went on to found another church called True Life Bible-Presbyterian Church.
In January 2004, True Life BPC registered the college as a charity organisation without Life BPC's knowledge. On 8 November 2005 the elders of Life BPC stated that they had earlier agreed to put up with doctrinal differences for the sake of church harmony and greater benefit of the Christian belief as long as the college agreed not to use the church's premises to push its agenda. If it did, the elders said they would ask the college to leave the Gilstead Road premises.
July last year, Life BPC stopped the college from having free use of its premises, saying it was no longer linked to it as it was now a charity organisation. In March this year, the church wrote to the college board telling it to leave the Gilstead Road site by the end of June. When the board did not move, the church took legal action, claiming that the college has deviated from the role the church originally planned for it because of its extreme view of the VPP doctrine.
The college board has appealed to the church to respect an agreement made between the two in 1970 which allowed both groups joint trusteeship of the site where the college building sits.

A Brief Summary of Sound Translation Principles
1. A translation should always be based upon the right source text: For the Hebrew Scriptures, (i.e. the Old Testament) the Masoretic Text (Ben Chayyim, Second Rabbinical Edition, printed by Bomberg) is considered to be the Hebrew Text God has preserved for us. Over 1,000 hand-copied manuscripts of this text are still available today. For the New Testament, the Received Text as edited by Dr. Scrivener in 1894 is considered to be the most reliable. There are over 5,700 manuscripts that exist to support this text....
William Carey Bible Society stated in it's website that "...the Received Text as edited by Dr. Scrivener in 1894 is considered to be the most reliable."
Most reliable!!! They never claim perfection for any Received Text!!!
In the weekly this week (http://www.febc.edu.sg/assets/weekly2011/weekly-volviii-no17.htm) the false teachers from Far Eastern Bible College, Singapore, bring up William Carey Bible Society into picture.
The false teachers, Dr Jeffrey Khoo, Dr Quek Suan Yew and Dr Prabudas Koshy are trying to fool us that even William Carey was promoting a perfect Bible like them the false teachers, but not so, William Carey never promote any perfect Bible, even William Carey Bible Society never promote Verbal Plenary Preservation like these false teachers in Far Eastern Bible College, Singapore. The people in William Carey Bible Society just say the Received Text as edited by Dr. Scrivener in 1894 is considered to be the most reliable, ....most reliable, no perfection!
These false teachers wanted to mislead us again!
Life BPC is stopped from worshipping God
"Last Lord’s Day was the very first instance in the history of our Church when worship services had to be cancelled. This decision was taken in the interest of ensuring the safety of worshippers after several hundred tons of concrete blocks from a foundation load test came crashing down on the road at a construction site across the road. This happened at about 8:25 am during our first worship service." Copied from Life B-P Church Weekly - 23 January 2011. (http://www.lifebpc.com/weekly.php)
Why this thing happened to them, this Life BP church was stopped from worshipping God on Sunday? Because some of these BP pastors are proud, and abusing some servants of God, even until today!!!
Elder Ong Eng Lam from Life Bible Presbyterian Church said:
"Now no point having this doctrine and say that we are right but never apply. The word of God is very clear! Love! For God is love! Where is the element of Love? As we have pointed out the problem with Rev Quek Suan Yew’s letter in last week’s weekly, “Mark those who caused division.” Instead of saying, “I’m sorry, I made an error or I made a mistake” This morning in Calvary Pandan’s Elder’s page he called us Satan. So Life Church Elders are Satan to Rev Quek Suan Yew."

WHAT MAKE A THEOLOGIAN?
THE THEOLOGIAN HIMSELF NEEDS A BRAIN CHECKER!
I say again:
He needs a brain checker! He must not behave like a kind of unchurch worldly people! Not a kind of people who attack his own church and his leaders! Not a kind of people like other people to divorce themselves from their pastors! Not a kind of weird people who like to abandon the old path which is the right path! Not a kind of fanatics who dreams on day and nights with self centred, self ministered, self orientation false teachings.
But a man who lived by faith, not a man lived by sight, on those TR and quarrels! But a man lived by generations and generations, in impressing others to love God in a simple ways as possible as he can! He is a man who is called by God, "Shepherd" to nurture people in all walks of life! He Must not become a quarrelsome man! But a quite man working hard with his own hands! This I called a man with high regards!
I bless you with these few words:
BLEST BE THE TIE THAT BINDS THEOLOGIANS AND PASTORS TOGETHER!
WHAT MAKES YOU A CHRISTIAN?
SOME THEOLOGIANS FORGET ALL ABOUT THIS STATEMENT!
ASSIGNMENTS FOR false THEOLOGIANS:
