A person who subcribed to Verbal Plenary Preservation wrote this to me
VPP is a doctrine from God even expounded in the WCF. If you do not believe that God cannot preserve and perfect His Words recorded in the Bible and as promised by God Himself, then the God you are worshipping is an imperfect God. Why worship such an imperfect God? Then all your worship services are in vain, the same as not worshipping God at all. You cannot see God the same way you see human beings. God is perfect and we are not. Do not change the uncorruptible God to become a corruptible god. Romans 1:20-23 KJV, "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: [21] Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. [22] Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, [23] And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things." There is no heresy in the doctrine of VPP as it is a doctrine of God. Our God is perfect, not imperfect. Matthew 5:48 KJV, "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect." Romans 3:4 KJV, "God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged."
My response:
I know our God is perfect, but did He promise us a perfect KJV for us to hold in our hands ?? So that we can fight one another with that perfect Bible?
Fighting for A perfect TR? A perfect Greek Text....

Response to elder's teaching
Teaching of the Church
According to 1 Timothy 3:2, elders must be “apt to teach”. In Titus 1:9, elders are expected to be “holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.” The Greek word (parakaleô) translated as “exhort” can also mean “encourage”, “comfort”. Thus, the ruling elder’s teaching – though not formal or on a full-time basis like that of the pastors who are teaching elders – includes informal counselling and words of encouragement. The elder should also be able to “convince the gainsayers” by sound doctrine (Titus 1:9). The Greek word (antilegô) translated as “gainsayers” refers to “those who speak against”. Hence, elders must acquaint themselves with the biblical doctrines and practices of the church, that they may give a sound response to those who object to the doctrines of the Word of God.This, of course, does not mean that every elder must be equally knowledgeable and gifted to perform the task of teaching. It is abundantly clear that there are some elders (being pastors) who are specially tasked to “labour in the word and doctrine” (1 Timothy 5:17), while others focus mainly on ruling the church. However, every elder must be able to communicate sound biblical knowledge. To fulfil such an important duty, elders must have a constant, prayerful commitment to equip themselves with sound theological knowledge. They must equip themselves to teach competently in Bible studies and to answer the inquirers wisely and adequately. They must labour to both propound sound doctrines and defend them for the purity of the church. http://gethsemanebpc.com/pastoral/importance-of-ruling-elders-ii/
My response,
Elders are not called to teach false teaching like Verbal Plenary Preservation!
Pastor must be humble not to bully elders!
I have divided the writings into many blogs......
To confuse the false teachers, i have put my words into so many blogs, and there are my manuscripts in so many blogs with so many different web addresses. Those blog contents are more or less the same.
Give you an example:
Please look at the year 2009, i had written 429 postings. That 429 posting is my fingerprint in all the different blogs.
http://febcbpc.blogspot.com/2017/01/a-very-sad-state-of-bible-presbyterian.html
https://web.archive.org/web/20161026144605/https://vpplawsuit.blogspot.sg/
I like to close one blog, then open another blog. Before i close a blog, i will remove all the old postings into a new blog with a new address. That is the reason there are so many blogs under my writing, but i usually put my fingerprint here and there inside my blogs, with different writer's name.
Also created many facebook account with different name and faces to introduce my blog.
At least 50000-page view in total in all those blogs.....i continue to write until today.

WLC Q1: What is the chief and highest end of man?
A1: Man’s chief and highest end is to glorify God1, and fully to enjoy Him forever2. (1Rom 11:36; I Cor 10:31; 2Psa 73:24-28; John 17:21-23)

Dean Burgon Oath obeyed by Far Eastern Bible College, this Oath refer to King James Version.
Dean Burgon Oath
I swear in the Name of the Triune God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit that I believe "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 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 that sitteth upon the throne, faultless, unerring, supreme." So help me God, AMEN.

Verbal Plenary Preservation
FEBC, which embraces the VPP doctrine based on the Westminster Confession of Faith which at Article 8 of Chapter 1 states that the inspired OT and NT Scriptures in the original languages are "by His [God's] singular care and providence, kept pure in all ages", teaches that God has supernaturally preserved each and every one of His inspired Hebrew/Aramaic OT words and Greek NT words to the last jot and tittle so that God's people will always have in their possession His infallible and inerrant Word kept intact without the loss of any word, and that the infallible and inerrant words of Scripture are found in the faithfully preserved Traditional/Byzantine/Majority manuscripts and fully represented in the Printed and Received Text (or Textus Receptus) that underlie the Reformation Bibles best represented by the KJV, and NOT in the corrupted and rejected 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.[101] The Board of Elders of Life BPC disagreed.[102]
The Bible-Presbyterian churches (Singapore), which had their Synod dissolved in 1988 because of disagreements, were again split with one group aligned with the founding pastor Timothy Tow embracing VPP, and another group not aligned with him taking the non- or anti-VPP position.[103]
The church and the college had shared premises at 9, 9A and 10 Gilstead Road (the "Premises"). In 2008, due to the disagreement on VPP, the church sued the college's directors, including Timothy Tow (the church's founding pastor), in Suit 648 in the High Court over allegedly "deviant Bible teachings" in an attempt to force FEBC to leave the Premises.[104] However the church failed as the Court of Appeal of Singapore, the apex court in Singapore's legal system, held, inter alia, on 26 April 2011 that:[105]
- "the VPP doctrine is actually closely related to the VPI doctrine which both parties [i.e., the College and the Church] adhere to,” (rejecting the Church's contention in [59] of the Court of Appeal Judgement that it is “an entirely different creature from the VPI doctrine)";”
- "the College, in adopting the VPP doctrine, has not deviated from the fundamental principles which guide and inform the work of the College right from its inception, and as expressed in the Westminster Confession;"
- "[i]t is not inconsistent for a Christian who believes fully in the principles contained within the Westminster Confession (and the VPI doctrine) to also subscribe to the VPP doctrine;" and
- "[i]n the absence of anything in the Westminster Confession that deals with the status of the apographs, we [the Court] hesitate to find that the VPP doctrine is a deviation from the principles contained within the Westminster Confession."
However, even after the Court of Appeal of Singapore had ruled that the VPP doctrine is not deviant, Life BPC continues to regard VPP as heresy since the paper "Mark Them Which Cause Divisions" issued by its Pastor and Elders dated January 2008[106]—rebutted by the Rev Dr Jeffrey Khoo in "Making the Word of God of None Effect"[107][108]—is still on its website more than five years after the apex court's ruling.

be the first to throw a stone
Lisa felt no sympathy for those who cheated on their spouse . . . until she found herself deeply unsatisfied with her marriage and struggling to resist a dangerous attraction. That painful experience helped her gain a new compassion for others and greater understanding of Christ’s words: “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone” (John 8:7).
Jesus was teaching in the temple courts when He made that statement. A group of teachers of the law and Pharisees had just dragged a woman caught in adultery before Him and challenged, “In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?” (v. 5). Because they considered Jesus a threat to their authority, the question was “a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him” (v. 6)—and getting rid of Him.
Yet when Jesus replied, “Let any one of you who is without sin . . .” not one of the woman’s accusers could bring themselves to pick up a stone. One by one, they walked away.
Before we critically judge another’s behavior while looking lightly at our own sin, let’s remember that all of us “fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). Instead of condemnation, our Savior showed this woman—and you and me—grace and hope (John 3:16; 8:10–11). How can we not do the same for others?

But sad to say Bible Presbyterian Churches, both "Life Bible Presbyterian Church" and "True Life Bible Presbyterian Church" continue to throw stones on each other until today, they said to each other "Gua Suka, i am stronger and spiritual than you, you have to shut up"
