David J. Stewart: Pastor Jack Schaap's Betrayal Of God's Inspired Word

Saturday, April 18, 2026

Pastor Jack Schaap's Betrayal Of God's Inspired Word

John 6:63, “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”

There is an ongoing raging debate in religious circles over what was inspired by God concerning the Holy Bible. There are three primary theories:

THOUGHT INSPIRATION - Some say that God only inspired His thoughts (aka, Dynamic Theory). This includes most of the modern Bible translators, primarily the New International Version (NIV) committee. They deny that the actual Words of God are inspired. It is obvious with such horrible beliefs that you can literally manipulate the Bible to say anything.
WORD INSPIRATION - Others, including myself and Pastor Jack Hyles (1926-2001), believe that the actual Words of God are inspired, and when they are accurately translated into another language; such as English, they continue to be inspired. I believe the King James Bible is 100% verbally (Word for Word), and plenary (the whole canon of 66 books) inspired by God, not merely man's best attempt.
ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT ONLY INSPIRATION - And then there is a third group, which includes former disgraced Pastor Jack Schaap of the First Baptist Church of Hammond, who believe that God only inspired the original Hebrew, Chaldean and Greek Words. Adherents of this group claim that a translation cannot be inspired. They teach that the King James Bible is a great book, but not inspired, infallible, incorruptible or inerrant.

In 2018, by God's grace, I made this important documentary titled: “The Battle Of The Ages.” My goal in making this video was to gather all the information that I could for a couple months; anything in defense of the inspiration of the King James Bible; and then place it all into one video. I was able to gather enough information to make a 4:19 hour film. ...

The Battle Of The Ages

Pastor Jack Hyles (1926-2001) was the biggest champion of the inspiration of the 1611 authorized King James Bible. Dr. Hyles rightly said, “If you've seen one Westcott and Hort Bible you've seen 'em all.” That is, ALL of the Devil's modern Bible revisions share the SAME corruptions. Case in point...

Even a young child can clearly see that Satan's paws are all over the modern English Bible revisions. Pastor M.R. DeHaan (1891-1965) said it well...

“Be on guard against any tampering with the Word, whether disguised as a search for truth, or a scholarly attempt at apparently hidden meanings; and beware of the confusion created by the senseless rash of new versions, translations, editions, and improvements upon the tried and tested Bible of our fathers and grandfathers.” —Pastor M.R. DeHaan, 'THE TABERNACLE,' p. 101

One Book stands alone, the inspired KING JAMES BIBLE!

Dr. Jack Schaap Ruined the First Baptist Church of Hammond and Hyles-Anderson College

On a Wednesday evening (March 4th, 2009), Pastor Jack Schaap preached a disturbing sermon at the First Baptist Church of Hammond titled: “What Did God Preserve?” In this bizarre sermon he foolishly teaches that the Bible was not written for a lazy man. According to Dr. Schaap, you have to labor intensely to understand God's Word, and the only way to truly know the truth is to examine copies of original manuscripts in museums in England.

Pastor Schaap errantly teaches that God only inspired the original Hebrew, Chaldean and Greek Words, nothing else. He foolishly says that the King James Bible is a great book, but not without error and not inspired by God.

Pastor Schaap even went as far as to bizarrely say that starting in the fall of 2009 their schools would teach grade-schoolers Hebrew and Greek, and fly some of the kids to England to become linguist scholars, so that they could ensure the next generation would have the truth. Kindly said, I humbly think the guy lost his marbles!

Don't you dare tell me that a sweet dear grandma rocking on her front porch in a rocking-chair, with only a 5th grade education, cannot understand God's Word. God wouldn't leave us at the mercy of Hebrew and Greek scholars, most of whom cannot even agree with each other on the Bible, causing utter never-ending confusion (1st Corinthians 14:33).

Brother Schaap was my teacher for 4 years of Church Education at Hyles-Anderson College. When he preached, he reminded me of what George Whitfield (1714-1770) might have sounded like, who was dubbed: “The Preacher With A Golden Voice.” George Whitefield was known for his powerful oratory and ability to command large audiences, often preaching to thousands without amplification. Jack Schaap was commanding with his voice when he preached. It broke my heart to learn that he wickedly changed his father-in-law's position on the King James Bible at First Baptist Church, which Bible inspiration Brother Hyles said he had dedicated the rest of his life to defending and champion in 1996. So sad, so sad.

Thank God for Pastor David Baker (1967-2024)

Brother Baker and I were ministry friends. After Pastor Jack Schaap in 2009 wickedly CHANGED the church's long held doctrinal position that the King James Bible is inspired, Dr. Baker created a needful website in defense of God's inspired Word called “HACalumni” dot com (the website no longer exists). Thankfully, a few years ago I downloaded his entire ministry website to preserve it for future generations, in case the information vanished, and I am so glad that I planned ahead. I have all of Brother Baker's files.

Here are some of the preserved articles and letters from Pastor Baker's HACalumni website:

It disgusts me that many people at Hyles-Anderson College and the First Baptist Church of Hammond blindly sided with Pastor Jack Schaap. This is sinful human nature to automatically take sides with one's corrupt leaders. I have seen this disturbing trend all my adult life in churches, and it is a sore evil. The heathen world does the same thing. Bad cops protect bad cops. Bad lawyers protect bad lawyers. Bad church members protect bad pastors!

Inspiration: Temporal Or Eternal
(Dr. James Sightler, 1937-2019)

Pastor Baker wasn't a perfect man, just as neither are you or myself friend. We are all wicked sinners (Romans 3:10-23; Romans 7:14-25). There but for the grace of God, go I and you. I miss Brother Baker and his Fundamental Baptist Podcast. He did so much to help others for Jesus Christ. For 28 years he worked to help inmates in a prison ministry.

As a young man who still hadn't found the Lord Jesus Christ, David Baker shares his testimony that he was very worldly and had a rough life, getting drunk and living in sin. It is a miracle that Brother Baker ever became a pastor after coming out of such a difficult wicked past. I THANK GOD for Brother Baker!!!

We are living in “perilous times” today when preachers are moving targets for haters, critics and the Devil's minions (2nd Timothy 3:1-7). Satan is “the accuser of the brethren” (Revelation 12:10b). As you can imagine, as a fundamentalist Bible preacher I receive my share of hate mail from wicked sinners. It's part of being a Bible preacher! It is Jesus whom they really hate, not me (John 7:7). When you are a Christian, the whole world is waiting for you to fall. Multiply that times ten for a fundamentalist Bible preacher!

Bible preachers are on the frontlines of the battle between good and evil today! I don't see hateful ungodly slanderers attacking company CEOs for the sins and crimes committed by their employees and employees families; Yet, the Devil's crowd blame a pastor for everything bad that anyone who has ever been connected to him in any way does. What hypocrisy!

The inspired Holy Bible sternly warns in Matthew 7:2, “For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.” Those wicked haters today who overturn every rock, examining every nook and cranny of a man's life, to scrutinize and destroy a preacher's name and testimony will absolutely be subjected to the exact SAME scrutiny by our omniscient and omnipotent God. Woe unto the wicked!

I am so grateful to Pastor Baker for making his HACalumni ministry website, “that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints” (Jude 1:3). I am so glad that I downloaded the website to preserve it. Dear reader, if you think this matter of King James Bible inspiration is a side issue or not worth dividing over, you are a darn fool who is not right with God. If you're not upset, you're not paying attention!!!

Pastor Jack Schaap Lost His Mind

Respectfully said, Pastor Jack Schaap strayed so far away from biblical teaching that he became enamored with sex. To the man with a hammer in his hand everything starts looking like a nail sticking up. And to the man with a perverted mind everything starts looking like sex. For example: Dr. Schaap said that the Hebrew meaning of the word “stuck” means “sexual intercourse” in Psalms 119:31, “I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not to shame.” That is insane! Pastor Schaap likened the Lord's Supper to sexual intercourse. The guy lost his way somewhere along life's journey as a preacher. There but for the grace of God, go I. That is why for as long as I can remember my favorite Bible verse has been Proverbs 4:23, “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.”

Whereas Pastor Jack Hyles called the issue of King James Bible inspiration, “The Battle of The Ages” in 1996, his incompetent son-in-law Pastor Schaap in a moment of demon-inspired insanity forever CHANGED the church's long held position on the King James Bible in 2009. But don't take my word for it, read for yourself what Pastor Hyles said about Jack Schaap...

“And brother, any time anybody ever casts any reflection upon the accuracy and the inspiration—verbal inspiration—of this Bible, I'll guarantee you he was inspired by the demons. I'll guarantee you! I don't care if he's got a 'reverend' in front of his name. I don't care if he has a clerical collar on. I don't care what school he's been to. He's of the Devil if he says that the Bible is not verbally inspired by God!” —Dr. Jack Hyles, “Satan's Masterpiece”

Brother Hyles had plainly warned the church not to allow a half dozen men to change what the church believes and preaches, but sadly that is exactly what happened in 2009.

Pastor Jack Schaap foolishly said the inspiration of the King James Bible is a "side issue" which "espouses Catholic doctrine." That is simply false! Brother Schaap was my teacher at Hyles-Anderson College for 4 years of Church Education in my 8 years there (I had Dr. Ray Young for the other 4 years). Dr. Schaap also taught me Basic Homiletics, Advanced Homiletics and Revelation and I will always cherish those memories.

Pastor Jeffrey J. Fugate of the Clay Mills Baptist Church in Lexington, Kentucky, admirably wrote an open letter to Pastor Jack Schaap, reprimanding him for ruthlessly attacking the King James Bible and Dr. Gail Riplinger. I couldn't agree with Pastor Fugate any more! God bless Brother Fugate. By the way, his Commonwealth Baptist College teaches their students that the King James Bible is inspired by God. Commonwealth Baptist College today is the new Hyles-Anderson College, which Dr. Russell Anderson supported at the time of his graduation to Heaven in 2023. Dr. Anderson also attended their Clay Mills Baptist Church for the latter years of his life. I THANK GOD for their dear saints of God and their zeal to contend for the inspiration of the KING JAMES BIBLE!!!

Pastor Jeff Fugate Rebukes Dr. Jack Schaap

In his open letter to Pastor Schaap, Brother Fugate makes these 9 vital points:

You say that the King James Bible had “more than 20,000 errors of spelling...” (p. 85).
“Now, for you technical worriers out there, we understand that there were more than 20,000 errors of spelling and typesetting in the first edition of the 1611 King James Bible.” (Quoted from page 85 of Where Are We Going?)
The errors of spelling and typesetting in the first edition of the 1611 King James Bible only number in the hundreds. The number 20,000 does not apply to errors of spelling and typesetting in the first edition of the King James Bible. Even King James Bible critics admit this (see David Norton, A Textual History of the King James Bible, Cambridge University Press, 2005, pp, 167-172). No scholar uses the word “errors” when referring to evolving changes to orthography and typography.
You say that the King James killed Baptists (p. 53).
“There are also those men we hold high with respect, and yet they murdered and tortured our Baptist forefathers. Four such men include Martin Luther, John Calvin, John Winthrop, and yes, even King James.” (Quoted from page 53 of Where Are We Going?)
This is not only another negative statement in an effort to seemingly demean King James, but it is also just downright not true! This is a lie that you have repeated from those that hate the King James Bible! This is the language of the enemy, not one that should be working to strengthen people's faith in God's perfect Bible!
You mention that you have a pamphlet entitled, “Why Stand Against The King James Bible?” (p. 58)
“I am a strong believer in the incorruptible seed (please see my booklet, “Why Stand Against The King James Bible?,” but practically I believe that I can win a soul to Christ without his seeing a Bible.” (Quoted from page 58 of Where Are We Going?)
I have never read nor seen this pamphlet, but what do you think anyone is supposed to think about you and your position on the King James Bible to even mention this? Do you have such a pamphlet? Do you teach in some way to stand against the King James Bible? Perhaps, I am totally misunderstanding this, and I hope that I am.
You use the words “foolishness” and “barbarianism” to describe those who have defended the King James Bible (pp. 84, 86)
“Because of the amount of foolishness being bantered about on this subject by careless Bible students, such as teaching that the King James Version is inspired...” (Quoted from page 84 of Where Are We Going?)
“...a multitude of younger pastors who had been looking to us for a role model and leadership but became confused and disenchanted with our near barbarianism.” (Quoted from page 86 of Where Are We Going?)
Admittedly, there have been some that have had a wrong disposition in their defense of the King James Bible. There are also those that have taken a stand that goes to the right - such as saying that you must be saved by the King James Bible or you are a two-fold child of Hell. However, I will guarantee you that there is a greater need to take a stand for the King James Bible because of the enemies that are printing perverted Bibles than there is a need to stand against the very few that might go to the right in this matter!
I would rather have someone that is too zealous for God's Word than someone who sows seeds of doubt about God's Word. I am not for wrong either way, but I would be quicker to criticize someone for being negative about God's Word than for being over-zealous! I will take men like the Apostle Peter, who was often over-zealous, than a Rick Warren.
You say that it is deceptive and ignorant to teach that the King James Bible is inspired (“Inspiration and Preservation,” sermon, Sunday, November 23, 2008)
“We become confused when that word inspired is used by these ignorant or deceptive teachers when applied to the KJV. I believe the King James Version was not given by inspiration. It was given by hard work and diligent labor, and I believe that work was providentially superintended by God and that the KJV is the preserved Word of God, as the Scriptures promised that God would preserve His Words.” (Quote taken from “Inspiration and Preservation,” sermon, Sunday, November 23, 2008)
I believe that my King James Bible is inspired! If you think it is heretical to say that the King James Bible is inspired, then there are many heretics, including myself and the preachers I have already named in this letter. Can you say that men like Bob Jones Sr., Jack Hyles, and others were stating heresy when they said it was inspired?
Inspiration is more than a method. Inspiration means that the Spirit of God is within the Words. The Bible says, “All scripture is given by inspiration”! It does not say “was” but “is”! You can call me “ignorant,” “naïve,” “rat in the woodpile,” “uneducated” or anything else you want, but I am in good company.
You always use the word inspiration in the past tense (i.e., “was given”). That is not what the Bible says. The Bible says, “is given by inspiration.” In saying this, you cannot deny that you believe the Originals were inspired but not the Bible we have today. Inspiration means that my Bible is alive! It lost nothing in preservation—including inspiration!
You try to say that people who believe the King James Bible is inspired believe in “double inspiration.” My answers is, “The Bible never died! It did not need to be inspired again! If it 'was' inspired, then it 'is' inspired.” John 6:63 proclaims “...the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit and they are life.” 1 Peter 1:23 heralds, “...the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever.”
If you cannot say that your Bible is inspired (not because it was inspired again but because it never lost its inspiration) then you must conclude that only the Originals are inspired. Inspiration with preservation means nothing! Preservation without inspiration means nothing! This is not a matter of semantics. This is a matter of getting it right!
I have never heard a Baptist preacher say they have a “word of knowledge” (p. 85). Never! Perhaps you have. I do not think this danger exists, but perhaps you have heard this. I have heard some Charismatics say this, but we do not listen to them anyway. They are off on every major Bible doctrine. They would not be right even if they had the Originals!
You say “there are nearly two dozen various KJV editions in this country, with more than 100 variant readings.” (“Inspiration and Preservation,” sermon, Sunday, November 23, 2008)
“At this present time, there are nearly two dozen various KJV editions in this country, with more than 100 variant readings.” (Quote taken from “Inspiration and Preservation,” sermon, Sunday, November 23, 2008)
I am aware that there are some differences of spelling in some and that we should use the correct one, but I would like to see the list of the “nearly two dozen” different King James Bibles. Once again, however, you cast clouds of doubts over the King James Bible. Why do you work so hard to do this?
You say that God's Word does not need defending (p. 86)
“...our near barbarianism. Cursing, swearing, name calling, and character assassination were all considered fair play to 'defend God's Word.'”
But God's Word did not need defending; it needed obedience. If we had used the King James Version to build strong, soul-winning, thoroughly indoctrinated churches, our works would have been all the answer that was needed. (Quoted from page 86 of Where Are We Going?)
What were preachers supposed to do when their people were going to book stores to buy Bibles and they were getting everything from the New International Version to the Reader's Digest Version? If preachers had not taken a firm stand for truth then we would be in an absolute mess today concerning the Bible!
The Bible tells me to reprove, rebuke and exhort! We are to admonish and warn! We are to cry aloud against transgressions and sins!
I do agree that we are not to defend and polish the weapon, but we are to use it. But make no mistake, we are also supposed to defend and contend for the faith!
You quote Dr. John R. Rice as saying that we are to, “...Be a Fundamentalist, But Not a Nut” (p. 44)
“While Dr. Rice clearly linked the term Fundamentalism to vigorously defending the faith and to aggressive soul winning, he also wrote a chapter entitled 'Be a Fundamentalist, But Not a Nut,' in which he commented on the King James-only position and describes preaching for Dr. Harry Ironside at the famous Moody Church of Chicago. ” (Quoted from page 44 of Where Are We Going?)
After you give this quote by Dr. Rice you give the example of being a King James only person. Why would you put something like that in a book if you do not want preachers to think that they are a nut if they believe the King James Bible is THE Word of God? Dr. Rice was the preacher who preached the sermon, “Bobbed Hair, Bossy Wives and Women Preachers!” If I am a nut for taking a King James Bible only position - then I am a nut!
You said to me on the telephone that you would not listen to a woman, such as Gail Riplinger, and learn theology from a woman.
Gail Riplinger is a woman who holds an honorary doctorate degree from Hyles-Anderson College for her work on the KJB. You sell or did sell her books in the Hyles-Anderson College bookstore.
You did send four of your men to meet with her for four hours to get her opinion about your teaching. I have a question here, “Had she agreed with your uninspired opinion of the King James Bible would you have quoted her?”
In light of these things, it appears to me that you are moving to the left of the stand that we, as Fundamentalists, have taken for these many years. I am not interested in moving to the left in any way. I want to remain firm on my position on the King James Bible and our Baptist Heritage. I will remain firm in my position on music that is Christ honoring and godly. I will continue to take a stand against perverted Bible versions, rock music, immodest dress and ecumenicism. I believe that it is time to take a difficult but necessary stand against this movement to the left. I will not be speaking at Pastor's School 2009 nor attending.
I will be praying that you will recognize that your influence is strong and that you will use it to strengthen that which remains rather than weaken it.

The Ungodly Betrayal of Dr. Russell Anderson (1931-2023)

Sadly, that is exactly what happened, so that since 2009 the church and Hyles-Anderson College no longer believe nor teach that the King James Bible is inspired by God. Dr. Russell Anderson was so upset about the matter that he wrote an open letter to Pastor Jack Schaap in 2009. And also an open letter to Pastor John Wilkerson in 2015 (in this open letter Dr. Anderson demands that they remove his name from Hyles-Anderson College, since they refused to return to their former position that the King James Bible is inspired and without error).

Both open letters from Brother Anderson earnestly pleaded that they return to their former doctrinal position that the King James Bible is verbally (Word for Word) and plenary (the whole canon of 66 books) inspired by God, or else he would withdraw his support of both the church and college, and due to their ungodly rejection of his wisdom Dr. Anderson did just that!

Read for yourself what Pastor Jack Hyles said about the King James Bible.

Again, Brother Hyles warned the church members not to let this happen. Dr. Hyles wisely told each church member to appoint them self as a guardian of one against heresy creeping into the church.

Dr. Hyles warned the church in 1998...

“The biggest split that has ever come will come in the next ten years, if not sooner, over the King James Bible - and it couldn't come soon enough for me. I'm tired of colleges and universities advertising that they 'use' the King James Bible - tell the whole story! Tell everyone that you do not believe that it is inspired word for word.” —Pastor Jack Hyles, from the Wednesday night Bible study titled, “Revelation to Illumination” (1998)

Shockingly, it was exactly 10 YEARS later that his son-in-law Pastor Schaap denied the inspiration of the King James Bible. Dr. Schaap in his retarded stupid ungodly booklet titled, "Where Are We Going?," which was passed out at Pastor's School to over 5,000 delegates disparagingly called King James Bible only believers: "Rats in the woodpile," "Barbarians" and "Ignorant hillbillies." You can read Dr. Schaap's own self defense of his fallacy in this clearly twisted response, in which he is trying to hide behind his alleged "angry" wife and the "angry" deacons for his incompetence of denying the inspiration of the King James Bible.

The First Baptist Church of Hammond are ingrates! Even even giving $8,000,000 of his hard earned money to the Lord to build their new church auditorium in Hammond, they threw Dr. Russell Anderson under the bus in 2009. Then they backed up over him, treating him like a demented crazy old man. Pastor Schaap shamefully rebuked him, when all Brother Anderson did was TELL THE TRUTH.

Dr. Hyles told everyone to guard against changes creeping into the church. If anyone has a RIGHT to speak up it was the co-founder of Hyles-Anderson College. SHAME on the First Baptist Church of Hammond. I had hoped that they would make things right with Dr. Anderson before he went to Heaven, but they ostracized and shunned him.

I have tremendous admiration for Dr. Anderson. He was willing to lose 40 years of built-up prestige, honor and his reputation as the co-founder of Hyles-Anderson College, all to side with the inspired King James Bible. Wow! Who does that! I love that dear man!!! I thank God for Brother Anderson's courageous stand, that cost him everything. The guy literally went from being the most admired man on campus at Hyles-Anderson College (next to Brother Hyles), to being mistreated and shunned as just a crazy old man, a nobody in the eyes of the First Baptist Church of Hammond. All thanks to that wicked jerk Pastor Jack Schaap!

Pastor Schaap's Assault Against Dr. Gail Riplinger

in his childish rage, Pastor Schaap horribly went on a personal vendetta to ruin Dr. Gail Riplinger's good name and reputation, calling her a “serial adulterer” and a “witch.” If that wasn't bad enough, Brother Schaap instructed all his men on staff who were preaching at various churches across the country to slander Miss Riplinger, and they wickedly did. All because as Dr. Jim Vineyard rightly said, “She grabbed him by the short hairs, and it hurt!”

Pastor Schaap had sent four of his men on his personal jet down to North Carolina to try to get Miss Riplinger to back up his heresy that the King James Bible is not inspired. She refused and sided with the truth! When Jack Schaap found out, like Herod who tried to kill Jesus, Dr. Schaap lost his mind and decided to murder Gail Riplinger with his words.

In fact, Brother Hyles presented Miss Riplinger with an honorary doctorate degree at Pastor's School in 1993 for her impeccable work in defense of the King James Bible. I was present, the year I graduated from Hyles-Anderson. If it weren't for Miss Riplinger, most Baptist pastors today would still be in the dark regarding the history of our beloved King James Bible.

Shame On Pastor John Wilkerson

Sadly, Pastor John Wilkerson admitted to the whole church during his candidacy (to be their new pastor) in January of 2013, that he is a pastor not a preacher. When asked how he viewed the Devil's modern perversions of the Bible, he shamefully said he thinks it is disrespectful to criticize the modern Bible versions, lest it do more harm than good. What he was really shamefully admitting is that he doesn't see the Devil's corrupt Bibles as a threat.

What Dr. Wilkerson incompetently said is no different than if you saw a man urinating in the church's nursery milk bottles, but chose not to say anything, lest it offend new mothers and they quit coming to church. I assure you that a corrupt Bible version is infinitely more deadly than a weirdo peeing in milk bottles! Sadly, communist Cuba has more Horsesense today than most pastors. Tragically, if you visited First Baptist Church of Hammond today and looked through the pews on a Sunday, you'd find people using dozens of different Bible versions.

I suppose that Brother Hyles too was being “disrespectful” to people when he preached against the modern Bible revisions. “I come from the future, I bring bad news!”

A deaf man from Long Beach, California, contacted me on Facebook. He said that he's personal friends with Brother Wilkerson. (I stayed at Brother Wilkerson's home for a wedding in the early 1990s. Pastor Larry Chapel did the ceremony. We drove all the way from Chicago and back.) The deaf man told me that John Wilkerson still believes that the King James Bible is inspired, just like Brother Hyles did; but he said the church's leaders control his preaching and insist that he uphold the position Jack Schaap established in 2009. I wrote back and said, “So you mean Pastor Wilkerson is henpecked!” Yep, that is exactly what is going on in Hammond today. Grow a spine, man! God pity a henpecked pastor!

“The only inspired Words of God are in the King James Bible!” —Pastor Jack Hyles (an awesome quote from the needful 1994 sermon: “THE REAL BATTLE!”)

I love Brother Hyles and thank God for his zeal for THE TRUTH. Damn the torpedoes! ...

“Every word in this Bible is inspired by God almighty!” —Dr. Jack Hyles, “A Friend At Midnight”

Sadly, the church members voted 94% to hire Dr. John Wilkerson as their new pastor. He took the position in February of 2013. Pastor Wilkerson has shamefully chosen to continue denying the inspiration of the King James Bible. Consequently, in this open letter to Pastor Wilkerson, Dr. Russell Anderson insisted that they remove his name from Hyles-Anderson College, but they refused. Evidentially they legally don't have to, but God will avenge Brother Anderson.

The King James Bible is Inspired by God

Dear reader, don't anyone dare tell me that we all have to become Greek, Chaldean and Hebrew scholars to understand the truth of God's Word. I reject Dr. Jack Schaap's ridiculous heresy that we must travel to some museum in England to find the truth. I find no fault in the inspired King James Bible!!!

I agree 100% with Pastor Jeffrey Fugate that inspiration means God's Words are living Words! By “inspired,” I simply means that when you read the King James Bible, God's Holy Spirit is speaking to you, not the best efforts by a bunch of sinful flawed translators in 1611. The King James is the ONLY Bible that doesn't attack Jesus' deity and the Godhead.

Hebrews 4:12, “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”

The word “quick” in Hebrews 4:12 means “alive.” When a man writes a book, it is mere words; but the King James Bible are God's living words! Inspiration means that my King James Bible is alive! It lost nothing in preservation—including inspiration! The Bible never died! It did not need to be inspired again! If it 'was' inspired, then it 'is' inspired.” John 6:63b, “...the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”

For Pastor Jack Schaap to teach that the King James Bible is a “great book,” but not inspired by God is to say that it is a DEAD BOOK! Clearly, he believes that the King James has some power to it. So is it half alive? Is it 99% alive? Did you know that deadly rat poison is less than 1% actual poison? The rest is 99% wholesome food that a human could eat and not get sick.

So, don't know tell me that my inspired King James Bible is faulty, less than perfect, full of errors and unreliable. No Sir, God has honored His solemn promise in Psalms 12:6-7 to preserve His “pure words” for us today. English is the fasting growing language on the planet, spoken in more countries than any other dialect. God knows what He is doing!

Thank you friend for reading my ministry blog. To God alone be all the praise, credit and glory.

“The only inspired Words of God are in the King James Bible!” —Pastor Jack Hyles (a quote from the 1994 sermon: “THE REAL BATTLE!”)

Inspiring Preacher Quotes

“Every word in this Bible is inspired by God almighty!” —Dr. Jack Hyles (1926-2001), "A Friend At Midnight"

“I never thought, I'd see a day when Baptist preachers would not preach the true Gospel. Tonight, all across this nation, Baptist preachers have succumbed to the heresy of John MacArthur. I said the heresy of John MacArthur! I said the heresy of John MacArthur! And somebody that's got several thousand people to hear 'em, who can go across this country, has got to alert Baptists that we have false teachers in our midst who are no longer teaching and preaching salvation by grace through faith plus nothing. Folks, we're fighting for our lives tonight!” —Pastor Jack Hyles, "A Vote For Preaching"

“Before I got saved, I had troubles, and since I’ve been saved, I’ve had troubles, but I’m going to a land where there will be no more troubles.” —Pastor Paul Sisk

'The world' includes the mass of humanity that is alienated from God and therefore hostile to the cause of Christ. It involves worldly affairs, earthly things, riches, pleasures, and pursuits that are shallow, frail, and fleeting. These things stir desire, draw us away from God, and are obstacles to the cause of Christ. The divorced or torn relationships between Heaven and earth, between God and His creatures, finds its expression in the term 'the world.'” —Pastor Edward M.

“They consider me radical, and I am not radical today, and don't you buy into that. And you know, I don't like when people from our church think: 'Oh yeah, our pastor is so extreme! He's so radical.' That is not true! I'm a Bible-believing preacher. There's nothing extreme or radical other than what the Bible is saying being extreme. If you want to call it 'extreme' or 'radical,' than that's what you're saying about the Bible, because there's nothing that I preach that is not in this Book. And if there is, tell me about it and I'll change it. I'll quit preaching it. There's nothing radical about what I preach. Our society has become radically wicked! And so, when a preacher just gets up and preaches a normal sermon, they think: 'Hey, you cross the line Buddy!' No, I didn't cross the line, you removed the landmark. You moved the line.

If all our troubles were hung on a line, you'd take yours and I'd take mine, because we're all going through different stuff.” —Pastor Steven Anderson, "Rich Men In James"

“When you get dissed by men—the whole reason God allowed you to be dissed—is because He didn't want you to fit in! He don't want you to fit in with the world.

“I do not think I've ever seen fundamentalists as carnal as I do now.” —Pastor Jack Hyles, “What Blocks You From The Spirit Filled Life?”

“I am concerned about the fundamentalism in America that's churchianity. I guarantee you, you'll be just like the new-evangelical crowd in a few years, unless we stop to realize that we're supposed to walk in the Spirit of God almighty!” —Pastor Jack Hyles, “What Blocks You From The Spirit Filled Life?”

“I am so sick and tired of Christian people gettin' mad at each other because of the dollar, I don't know what to do. I wonder sometimes if there is anybody left that's spiritual. I really do. I mean, fuss about a dollar. If a guy wants some of your money, let him have the money! I mean, I spend a lot of my time refereeing fights of people in this church, who get mad at each other because of money. Listen, there's not enough of that to fight over.” —Pastor Jack Hyles, “What Blocks You From The Spirit Filled Life?”

“I'm tired of us calling them 'gay.' They're not gay. Gay is a mighty good word to denote happiness and joy. I'm tired of the queers choosing the 'gay' word for themselves. Let's take it back!” —Pastor Jack Hyles, “What Blocks You From The Spirit Filled Life?”
