LETTER TO JEFF KHOO,
WHICH HE NEVER REPLIED TO

Dear Brother Jeff,
AN EVIDENTIAL REVIEW OF THE VPP THEORY
Greetings in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus
Christ!
Many months ago, I shared various
thoughts, analysis and findings with you on your
VPP proposition and when you conceded that there
was no “single purified text”, I had
thought that you had seen through the un-sustainability
of the VPP theory. But your publications continue
to call all who are non-VPP, “neo-fundamentalists”,
which is not helpful to the peace in our churches.
If you were directing this only against the anti-KJV
attackers, it would be wise and helpful to clearly
state so and to exclude pro-KJV non-VPP brethren.
On the Dean Burgon Oath, my copy
of Dean Burgon’s “Inspiration and
Interpretation” subsequently arrived, and
on page 89 at the ending of “Chapter III
entitled “Inspiration of Scripture –
Gospel Difficulties. – The Word of God Infallible.
– Other Sciences Subordinate to Theological
Science”, it is clearly seen that the Dean
referred to the Autographs.
I had remained burdened about
the long-term divisive effect on our churches
of the VPP theory, that either must be absolutely
true or false – it cannot be both. I have
as such completed and summarised all my review
findings in the enclosed report. I had strictly
controlled and restricted my previous findings
to you, Rev Timothy Tow and Dr S H Tow, but the
enclosed shall not be similarly restricted but
may be made available for distribution according
to the needs and as the Lord leads. The very first
copy is enclosed for you as a matter of Christian
brotherly courtesy.
My dear brother, as said before,
I am fully with you in the fight against liberalism
but we must do this with clarity and truth! We
need not exaggerate because the Lord Himself will
fight for us. If you can rebut the evidences herein
submitted, do feel free to do so with hard facts.
If the evidences are accurate but we choose not
to submit to the truth, we have the Scriptures
to admonish us (Tit 3:10).
Your brother in our Lord Jesus Christ,
Seng Hoo
