Verbal
Plenary
Preservation - Perfect
KJV-Onlyism is a false
witness that sows
discord among brethren
(Prov 6:19)
|
|
The
Perfect KJV (KJV-Onlyism, KJV Onlyism, or KJVO) heresy is an
abandonment of the Historic Reformed Faith and the Westminster
Confession of Faith and comes in two forms: –
·
Ruckmanism, which holds to an inspired 1611 translation (“double
inspiration”) resulting in a perfect English Bible. Where there
is a discrepancy between the English and its underlying Hebrew
Masoretic or Greek TR texts, the English is to be taken as more
correct!?
·
Verbal Plenary Preservation, also known as KJV-VPP or VPP-KJV,
which holds to an inspired perfect textual criticism or
recognition in 1611 which restored the Hebrew and Greek text of
the KJV to be jot and tittle identical to the Divine Original
Autographs!?
Ruckmanism and KJV-VPP are estranged twin sons of Benjamin
Wilkinson, a leading Seventh Day Adventist who wrote “Our AV
Vindicated” in 1930. Wherever it has gone, in whatever circles,
Perfect KJV Onlyism has wrecked havoc and caused discord among
brethren.
Far Eastern Bible College (FEBC) has sadly not only adopted, but
now champions this false Charismatic post-canonical inspiration
doctrine. FEBC cannot prove KJV-VPP – they cannot even
convincingly and consistently identify the Hebrew-Greek
underlying texts – but they call all who do not hold their
views, “Neo-Fundamentalists”, “Neo-Evangelicals” or lacking in
saving faith. In this website, the KJV-VPP heresy is exposed
and refuted with clear evidential facts and sound biblical
exegesis! It is our humble, earnest prayer that the Lord would
be pleased to deliver His people from this divisive “doctrine”,
in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Public VPP Repudiations |
INSPIRATION AND TRANSLATIONS OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURES
The Singapore Council of Christian Churches (SCCC), at its
Reformation Rally 2005 and 49th AGM on 29th
October 2005, reiterates its stand “On the Scriptures”.
2 As the national affiliate in Singapore of the International
Council of Christian Churches (ICCC), SCCC identifies itself with ICCC
on the stand on the Scriptures in the following three ways:
i) The inerrancy and infallibility of the Scriptures in
the original languages, as stated at ICCC Constitution, Article 2a
and SCCC Constitution, Article 4(1) which reads in full as follows:
“Among other equally biblical truths, we believe and maintain the
plenary Divine inspiration of the Scriptures in the original
languages, their consequent inerrancy and infallibility, and as the
Word of God, the supreme and final authority in faith and life”
ii) The established practice, as far as the Bible in the
English language is concerned, of using the King James Version,
which the ICCC and all its affiliated bodies believe to have been
faithfully translated from the God–preserved manuscripts of the Hebrew
and Aramaic language Masoretic text for the Old Testament and the
Greek language accepted Textus Receptus for the New Testament. (ICCC
16th World Congress Statement “ON THE HOLY SCRIPTURES AND
BIBLE TRANSLATIONS, November 2000, Jerusalem).
iii) On other translations of the Bible : SCCC and ICCC
are grateful to those who have laboured or are labouring to produce
other translations that present the Word of God as accurately as
possible, but view with sorrow that in recent years there have been
translations produced by men who do not believe in the inerrancy of
the Scriptures, or by committees that have included individuals who
even deny such basic doctrines as the deity of Christ, His miraculous
birth and bodily resurrection, and the Messianic Prophecies (ICCC 17th
World Congress Statement No. 1 “ON THE SCRIPTURES”, Korea, June 8 –
14, 2005)).

Recently some brethren in Singapore and elsewhere have been promulgating
that apart from the verbal plenary inspiration (VPI) and the consequent
inerrancy and infallibility of the Holy Scriptures in the original
languages of Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek, "the words of the Received Greek
and Masoretic Hebrew texts that underlie the King James Bible are the
very words which God has preserved down through the centuries being the
exact words of the the originals themselves". This theory of claiming
Verbal Plenary Preservation (VPP) for the KJV's underlying texts and
their exact identification with the Holy Scriptures in the original
languages, is without Biblical foundation. This has not been, and is not
the position of the ICCC or SCCC or other ICCC-affiliated organizations.
The SCCC therefore calls upon its members and all other Bible-believing
brethren not to subscribe to this new, Biblically unfounded and unproven
theory. |
