2nd Peter 3:14-18, “Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.”
The Apostle Paul was an extremely educated man, a top notch Pharisee before he became a born-again Christian. God made Paul just the way He wanted Him to be, so that Paul could write down God's inspired Words. “Inspired” simply means that the words in the King James Bible are “God's Words” (He breathed them out to mankind), and not the words of mere mortal and sinful men. Men's words are not inspired by God, never have been, and never will be.
The Apostle Peter on the other hand was a base fella, a fisherman by trade, and not educated. Peter had difficult understanding Paul's writings in his epistles. But Peter was a wise man, who knew better than to assume that he understood things which he didn't. This is what Peter means in our text passage from 2nd Peter 3:16, “As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.” Peter is plainly warning everyone here, not to ASS-U-ME that you understand the Scripture when in reality you don't. Peter says that unlearned and unstable people wrest (twist) the Scripture to mean something different than God intended.
Dear reader, this is why churches and Bible colleges today are the most dangerous places that you can be! There is woeful gross theological incompetence everywhere that we look these days. Take for example: Bob Jones University (BJU), whose infidel new president, Steve Pettit, preaches that you cannot know you're saved in an instant. Instead, he errantly preaches that you must faithfully run the Christian race until the end of life, to PROVE the genuineness of the reality of your faith. This is another gospel, accursed by God (Galatians 1:6-9). In fact, you CAN know that you have been born-again in an instant. You CAN write down in your Bible your name, date and the place, where and when you got saved. Eternal life is a free gift. A gift is simply received by faith, and nothing more is required.
If you do some research into the pseudo-Christian cults (e.g., Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, Roman Catholics, Seventh-Day Adventists, Church of Christ, et cetera), you will find that ALL OF THEM require a person to do works to prove that their faith is real. They don't mean doing works in the eyes of men to show their faith (as the Apostle James teaches in the Epistle of James); but rather, they mean in the sight of God, which is a counterfeit plan of salvation. The proof and evidence that your faith is real, is faith itself (Hebrews 11:1).
Again, if you do some homework, you will sadly find that 99% of today's so-called “Bible colleges” deny that we have an incorruptible, perfect, inspired Holy Bible today. If that be true, I'd throw my King James Bible into the garbage pail and never go to church again!!! I'd never write another website article or blog, and I would stop my online ministry immediately. Don't you dare tell me that at best all we have today is a perverse, corrupt, incomplete, imperfect, flawed Bible that good men did their best as sinners to make perfect, but fell short.
If we do not have an inspired Bible today in 2022, then we do not have God's Words! It is as simple as that. if the King James Bible is 98% correct, but contains numerous errors and mistakes, then it cannot be God's Words. God doesn't make mistakes!!! God would never leave us at the mercy of Greek and Hebrew scholars, giving us a Bible that is not 100% accurate. When we look at volcanoes, tornadoes, forest fires, Tsunamis and other acts of nature, we could easily conclude that the earth is flawed and imperfect. But God knew what He was doing when He created these things.
Likewise, scientists have been foolishly telling us for years that the human DNA is flawed, but they are working to develop designer babies in the future, who will have their DNA corrected in a lab (like in disturbing the sci-fi movie, Gattaca). Men refuse to leave well-enough alone, playing God with nature, tampering with life and DNA. They are Mad scientists!
If you attend over 95% of churches today, and that sadly includes so-called “independent Baptist churches.” Most of them truly are NOT independent. A good example is the apostate Harvest Baptist Church on Guam. Although they falsely claim to be “independent,” their headquarters is Bob Jones University is Greenville, South Carolina. Harvest is full of BJU's incompetent graduates, who wrest the Word of God to their own destruction, preaching Calvinism (aka, Lordship Salvation) instead of the free grace Gospel (1st Corinthians 15:1-6). BJU is of the Devil in 2022!
It saddens me that parents save up tens of thousands of dollars for decades, to then pay some incompetent religious leaders (e.g., Marty Herron, Jeff Redlin, Timothy Zacharias, Steve Pettit, Chuck Phelps, Gary Walton, John MacArthur, Sam Horn, et cetera) to have their child corrupted, errantly taught that the Word of God is not perfect or inspired today, and they are indoctrinated with the Devil's lies of Calvinism, misunderstood repentance (i.e., turn from sin to be saved) and Lordship Salvation. These damnable doctrines are all enemies of soulwinning, because they woefully hinder people from getting born-again. Satan's greatest weapon is to con people into living the Christian life without ever getting born-again!!!
It sickens me to know that Marty Herron (former incompetent pastor of the Harvest Baptist Church on Guam) is now the executive vice-president of Faith Baptist Bible College And Theological Seminary in Ankeny, Iowa. Dear reader, Marty Herron is a wolf in sheep's clothing, a rotten theological liar and devil in the pulpit. Yet, foolish Moms and Dads pay that infidel $30,000 a year (for tuition and room and board) to brainwash their children with Calvinist lies, Lordship Salvation, wrong repentance and the Devil's bibles today! The wrong people are locked behind bars in the prisons today!!! Marty Herron ought to be in prison where he belongs, for all the lives he has destroyed with his theological lies, his selfishness, his cruelty toward hurting people like me while I lived on Guam for 17 years, and Herron's damnable false gospel. Judgment day is coming (Galatians 6:7; Galatians 1:6-9; Matthew 7:21-23).
If Marty Herron is saved, then God is a liar for not including in the Bible that to get to Heaven, you must forsake a lifestyle of sinning (which is exactly the junk that Marty Herron preaches to lost sinners). Pastor Herron is still very lost and conceited in his false religion. Keeping the law (which is what turning from your sinful ways really is) cannot save anyone (Romans 3:19-20). The law cannot give life. Only faith alone in Jesus Christ, apart from all human works and behavior, can save someone (Hebrews 4:10-11).
Yes, the most dangerous places to be today are in churches and Bible colleges. Beware of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) and their 45,000 member churches. Most of them are corrupt Calvinists, adhering to a Satanic counterfeit plan of salvation. You simply won't find many doctrinally sound churches, pastors or Bible colleges today. Sadly, the main culprit are the lousy Bible colleges who mistrain preachers! If you send your child to Pensacola Christian College (PCC), they will graduate a religious snob, with no zeal to contend for the Christian faith, no desire to fight the good fight of faith. PCC teaches their students to go through the motions, just like Pastor Jeff Redlin does. You be where you're supposed to be, and do what you're supposed to do, and that's it!
So when a real person like me comes alone, when I attended Campus Church at PCC for the summer of 2021, Jeff Redlin was unkind toward me from day one! Pastor Redlin resented me when he found my website ministry, falsely accusing me of finding weaknesses in preachers. No, the sad truth is that Jeff Redlin and company (the PCC camp) are idle for God, sitting on the premises instead of standing on the promises of God! They use the King James Bible, but refuse to speak out against the modern Devil's bibles. PCC are A.W.O.L. from the battle and that's the way they like it!
That is the apostate lukewarm church of Laodicea, neither hot nor cold for God (Revelation 3:!5-16). Well, I'm hot! I am contending for the faith (Jude 1:8; Titus 1:9-14). By God's grace, I am a fervent soulwinner. I am getting the job done for the Lord that PCC are half-stepping. I have my faults, sins and shortcomings, but I THANK GOD that I was trained at Hyles-Anderson College, back in 1985-1993 when Dr. Jack Hyles ran the institution the way it should be—when we still believed that the King James Bible is inspired and without any errors! Sadly, since 2008 the First Baptist Church of Hammond, Indiana and Hyles-Anderson College that they own and control, no longer believe and teach that we have a perfect inspired Holy Bible today. That is so tragic! They have joined ranks with BJU and PCC in apostasy!
So if you have a child that you are planning to send to Bible college, please consider a doctrinally sound Bible college. A college must believe:
- King James Bible is Inspired - They absolutely must use only the inspired King James Bible and believe that it is 100% plenary (the whole cannon) inspired, and verbally (word for word) inspired by God.
- Devil's Bibles Must Be Exposed - They must criticize the Devil's corrupt bible revisions. John Wesley was right: "What one generation tolerates the next generation will embrace."
- Free Grace Gospel - They must preach only a free grace Gospel; none of this garbage Calvinism, Lordship Salvation trash, or "turn from your sin to be saved" crap,
- False Gospel's Must Be Exposed - I'd say 99% of horrible Bible colleges today don't want to offend anyone. They just want to make more money! So they go along with all of the other apostate Bible colleges, parroting the same doctrines, standards and policies. But they don't want to suffer reproach for Christ. They don't want to be out outside the gate with Jesus, where I am also.
- They must Require That Girls Where Dresses - I am so sick of the low moral standards in Bible colleges today. Bob Jones University permits their female students to wear halter tops, slacks to church, tight pants on the sport's field where you can see their butt-cracks. That is wickedness, not modesty (1st Timothy 2:9). I give Hyles-Anderson College two thumbs up for moral standards in 2022, I just wish they'd go back to teaching that the King James Bible is inspired.
- Must Be A Soulwinning Ministry - I would waste a single penny sending my child to any Bible college that isn't centered around SOULWINNING. I mean, that's what it's all about, The Great Commission, and not making a financial living someday.
Please avoid Pensacola Christian College! They are spiritually lifeless. Tim Zacharias reminds me of Barney Rubble on The Flintstones, boring, and he is wrong on repentance. PCC teaches that "repentance is a change of mind resulting in a change of behavior," but that is false. Repentance is "a change of mind" (Greek noun: metanoia) and that's it! A changed life is the fruit of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22-25), which comes as a result of becoming a born-again child of God and growth in grace (1st Peter 2:2; Romans 21:1; 2nd Peter 3:18). Getting saved doesn't change you one bit, it just means that you now have God's Holy Spirit indwelling you. God is not an absent parent, He will scourge and chastise His children when required (Hebrews 12:6-8). But we must never add to, subtract from, alter or embellish God's simple plan of salvation by faith alone in the Good News of Jesus Christ.
