Matthew 13:18-30, “Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.”
The tares are unsaved people who masquerade as Christians. This is the shallow Bob Jones University (BJU) crowd today, who teach Satan's lie of Lordship Salvation. I am so sick of the Bob Jones crowd who want the best of both world, at the expense of THE TRUTH. A Christian fundamentalist stands for THE TRUTH, period! God authored one Book, which I believe to be the King James Bible. All of the modern Bible revisions are of the Devil! Dr. Steve Pettit (president of BJU), recently said on BJU's 'The Daily Platform' (chapel services) that there's not much difference between the New International Version (NIV) and the King James Bible. Dr. Pettit is being very deceitful!
Although there is only a 2% difference in ancient manuscript content, all those changes attack the deity of Jesus, the Trinity, the person of Christ and key passages that affect doctrine. The NIV is the product of Brooke Westcott and Fenton Hort (two Catholic affiliated Anglican ministers who lived in the 19th century). They introduced their fraudulent new Bible text in the year 1881, upon which all modern Bible perversions are based. BJU doesn't want to suffer reproach for Jesus Christ, so they refuse to pick one Bible! Instead, they say they “prefer” the King James Bible, but use and support the Devil's Bible too. That is what disgusted God about the church at Laodicea, they were lukewarm (Revelation 3:15-16).
I love the Bob Jones crowd, even though they abandoned me on Guam, because I befriended them with the truth. I am on the right side of THE TRUTH! Bob Jones University refuses to take a stand on the Bible. They make light of verbal inspiration, promoting umpteen English Bible revisions, which is insane, because God only authored ONE BOOK! I use only the King James Bible. I don't need another Bible version. Why does BJU? They are going along to get along with the Devil's intellectual crowd, who have corrupted the Word of God.
Likewise, BJU won't take a stand on the Gospel. They preach about grace, trying to downplay their institution's close associations with Dr. John MacArthur, a former BJU student. There is only one Gospel, but BJU attempts to blur the lines, trying to sugarcoat Mr. MacArthur's counterfeit gospel of Lordship Salvation. Why won't BJU take a stand for one or the other? Why are they driving in the middle of the road, where all the dead skunks are? It is apostasy! Bob Jones College need to be called out, refuted and exposed, for their ecumenical hobnobbing with the Devil's religious crowd. John MacArthur is of the Devil.
I am warning everyone about Bob Jones University, because they are very deceitful. To the unlearned believer, they might appear to be godly Christians, but it is a mere facade. Godly Christians don't bid Godspeed to false prophets like Mr. MacArthur, who denies that Jesus' blood is on the Mercy Seat in Heaven. Dr. MacArthur says Jesus did not have God's blood flowing in his veins, effectively denying the virgin birth. MacArthur said, and I quote: “There is no such thing as a childhood conversion.” MacArthur's plan of salvation is so complicated that only adults can have it. That is another gospel, not what the Holy Bible teaches!
