Doctrinal Statements

Scripture Doctrines

1. I believe in the Plenary, verbal Divine inspiration of the sixty-six Canonical books of the Old and New Testaments [From Genesis to revelation] in the original languages, and in their consequent Infallibility and Inerrancy in all matters of which they speak [2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:21; I Thess 2:13]. The Book known as Apocryphal, however, is not the inspired word of God in any sense whatsoever. As the Bible uses it the term INSPIRATION refers to the WRITING, not the WRITERS [2 Timothy 3:16-17]; the writers are spoken as being �Holy Men of God� who were MOVED, CARRIED or BORNE along by the Holy Spirit [2 Peter 1:21] in such a definite way that their writings were supernaturally, plenary, and verbally inspired, free from error, infallible and inerrant. As no other writings have ever been or evil will be inspired.
    

2. I believe that the texts which were the closest to the Original Autograph of the Bible, are the TRADITIONAL MASORETIC HEBREW TEXT [Old Testament] and the TRADITIONAL RECEIVED TEXT [New Testament] underlying the King James Version of 1611 as published by the Trinitarian Bible Society in 1976.
    

3. I believe that the King James Version or the Authorized Version of the English Bible is a true, faithful and accurate translation of these two providential texts, which in our time has no equal among all other English translations. The translators did such a fine job in their translation task that we can without apology hold up the Authorized Version and say, This is the Word of God!� While at the same time realizing that, in some verses, we must go back to the original language texts for complete clarity, and also compare scriptures with scriptures.
    

4. I believe that all the verses in the King James Version belongs in the Old and New Testaments because they represent words we believe were in the Original language texts, although they might have other renderings from the original languages which could be acceptable to us today. For an exhaustive study of any of the words and verses in the Bible, I urge the students to compare Scriptures with Scriptures as well as seeking the help of the Traditional Masoretic Hebrew Text and the Traditional Received Text rather then any other translations for help.
    

5. I also believe that other foreign language translations are the Word of God, but this the thing which I like to use to counteract the thought that the English King James Version is not the Word of God. Now since the King James Version is so accurate a representation of the Original underlying Masoretic Hebrew Old Testament Text and the Traditional Received New Testament Text, we can hold it up and say that it is the Word of God. It is the word of God in English as in any faithful, exacting, precise translation taken from these same Original Texts. If it is done as well as King James Version is done, also could be the Word of God in French, the word of God in German, the Word of God is Chinese and so on. And so we have the Word of God.
    

6. The Modern English Versions are not the word of God in English. Such as the NASV, NIV, TEV, RSV, NKJV etc�for two reasons:

   • Because of a different Original Language Texts

   • Because if inaccurate translation methods and results.
     Not only have they taken out verses, but also the method of translation is not accurate. They either paraphrases, as the New International Version is a pure paraphrase, in so many instances, time and time again; or even in some instances in the New American Standard Version. But also the translation job is not as precise and exacting as the King James Version is, and so the resultant product is such that we cannot say it is the Word of God.
