Going back to the beginning-Jeffrey, Quek and Prabudas should be gentle toward others

Genesis.

Going back to the beginning-Jeffrey, Quek and Prabudas should be gentle toward others.

The subject Verbal Plenary Preservation (VPP) should be taught in Bible College as an elective module. Not to impose to others on the pulpit and classroom arrogantly. Give ample time for debates and discussion. Keep VPP to yourselves if the circumstance is hard. It is only your personal view of the Bible, do not use it to disturb the unity and peace in BPC Singapore.

But these three stooges, are so arrogant and harsh on others. Those who disagreed with them are called and rebuked. This is not right. They did not act professionally and scholarly. They overreact on this small minor matter.

Live in peace with others. Do not act like ISIS in the middle east. Now you are called a heretic when you put your personal wrong opinion of the Bible above the Body of Christ, and you have destroyed the unity in Christ.

Learn from your mistake.

“Specific instances are cited to illustrate the potential problems. Eight items, perhaps grouped as four pairs, suggest the types of situations which Paul suspected might still be present at Corinth. Strife and jealousy describe the quarreling and envy which had been prevalent at Corinth. Displays of anger and selfish ambition easily develop when problems fester and unworthy leaders exploit them. Evil speakings and whisperings describe the slanders, gossiping, innuendoes, and talebearing which keep a church in turmoil if its problems are not settled. Arrogance and disturbances depict the ‘swellings [of pride] ... that ultimately cause all kinds of disorder. (See what Jeffery himself wrote in Far Eastern Bible College/Lecture Notes/2 Corinthians/Jeffrey Khoo, p. 74)
