Our Scriptural Basis For Burning

Everything Satan and Eve said is in Black below.

1. God's Word is Questioned--"Yea, hath God said,..."

2. God's Word is Changed--"Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden"

3. God's Word is Quoted-- "We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:"

"We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:"

4. God's Word is Removed--"But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden..."

5. God's Word is Added To--"neither shall ye touch it..."

6. God's Word is Denied--"Ye shall not surely die..."

"thou shalt surely die"

Only one word is different but it doesn't mean the same thing. The "scholars" will tell you that two things that are different mean the same thing. That is a lie. They tell you one word doesn't make a difference. The same thing satan said to Eve. You see what it got her.

7. God's Word is Reinterpreted--"For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil."

God's Word does not need to be reinterpreted by heretics who question it, change it, remove it, deny it, and add to it.

8. God's Word is Doubted--"And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof,..."

When one begins this slippery slope of questioning God's Word it always leaves one doubting what God said. This is followed by a loose lifestyle because who really knows what God said? There are so many different versions how do we know which one is correct? So they become their own god, and decide for themselves what is right. New Ageism. Many people have told me that they have written their own translation. Why? Doubt.

9. God's Word is Disobeyed--"...did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat."

This is the ultimate goal of satan, to get people to disobey God. This slippery slope is so subtle to begin with, "Yea, hath God said?" This is the same thing satan is doing in all of the perversions on the market today.

I would like to thank all who have written and called to give your support. We would also like to say thanks to all of the radio, newspaper, magazine, and television media (Fox News, Wall Street Journal, CNN, CBS, Turner Broadcasting, and hundreds more) who would love to do interviews. All of our future comments will be posted on this web site. There is no way possible to answer thousands of emails, phone calls, and letters.

Questions That Have Been Asked

1. Do I know Greek and Hebrew?

I know very little, but that doesn't matter. God said in Psalm 12:6-7 "The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever."

One does not need to know Greek or Hebrew to understand God's Word. God has promised to preserve them, not man. If the preservation of God's Word was left up to man than we would mess it up. That's what we have with modern versions. But divine preservation is God's promise to give us his pure words and we have that in the KJV. God's Word is not lost or hidden somewhere. We have them today for the English Speaking people and that is through the KJV.

To say that one has to know Greek or Hebrew to have God's pure and perfect words is to say that God Almighty is not capable of preserving His Words in our English language. My God is capable of doing whatever he chooses to do, but it seems that many so called "scholars" today has a god that doesn't know any language other than Greek, Hebrew, and Latin. I can't speak for their puny little gods. My God created the languages, including English.

I am not against one studying and learning Hebrew, Greek, and Latin, as long as it is the correct one. We reject the Westcott and Hort, Bruce Metzger, as well as the Nestle-Aland. We accept only the original TR-Textus Receptus (Masoretic Test) that underlays the King James Version.

Not to many years ago, it was the Catholic Church that tried to keep the Bible out of the hands of the common man. Why? Because the pope didn't want man to be able to have an English Bible in their hands. So they murdered Baptist by the thousands, and burned the true Word of God.

When one begins to say that they know Greek or Hebrew and some little old saint of God doesn't know it. What they are really saying is, "I'm smarter than you because I know Greek and Hebrew, and you are an ignorant Christian." That's hogwash! God has preserved His Word "from this generation for ever." God did not fall asleep or drop the ball when it comes to preservation. We are not all suppose to learn Greek or Hebrew. That is what modern liberal scholars (those who do not believe the KJB) say.

2. Don't you know that the KJV came from the Greek, Hebrew and Latin?

Certainly I do. Again going back to our bases for our stand the Word of God. Psalm 12:6-7 "The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever." The Greek, Hebrew and Latin came from the originals, which no one has today, regardless of some who have written and say that the Greek, Hebrew and Latin are the originals. They have been deceived if that is what they think. Before the originals were worn out, destroyed, lost or whatever, they were copied and the "LORD....preserved them..." God has preserved His Word, not man. Preservation is God's job not men. God's Word being preserved was not the job of the prophets or writers. God would be a liar if we didn't have God's preserved, inspired, infallible, inerrant Word of God. God cannot lie. Those who say that the English speaking people don't have God's Word today, and we need to go back to the Greek and Hebrew have been blinded by Satan.

I don't believe that everyone in the world should learn English and get them a KJ Bible. They should get them a Bible translated into their language that comes from the correct TR or translated from the KJB. Neither do I believe that God intended for all of mankind to learn Hebrew, Greek, and Latin. I believe that the original TR that underlines the KJB is the preserved, inspired, infallible, and inerrant Word of God. Yes, the KJB is a translation; I don't need anyone else to ask me that question. The difference between the KJB translation and the modern translation is that the KJB is based on the correct TR, and the modern versions are based on the critical Greek Text that comes out of Rome and a trash can.

3. Did you go to college?

Yes! I went to Tennessee Temple University in 84-87. This was right after Dr. Lee Roberson resigned. I went for two and a half years and quit. The reason being was because I had professors like Dr. Fred Affman who kept correcting the Word of God instead of teaching it. He kept trying to shove the NIV down our throats and I got sick to my stomach and vomited it up. God said that His words are “pure,” so they don’t need to be corrected. When anyone begins to comment and say while they are teaching or preaching, “a better translation would be…..” or “it would have been better if said it this way….” is correcting the Word of God. Those who correct the Word of God don’t believe the Word of God is preserved, inspired, infallible, and inerrant.

4. Do you have any real "concrete" evidence that the KJV is God's Word?

God said in Psalm 12:6-7 "The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever."

This is all the concrete evidence I need. God's Word. This is a typical question by a liberal New Evangelical Bible doubter, such as James White. God has promised to preserve His Word, and He has through the original TR, and then through the KJB. Those who question God's Word don't believe what God said. That's not enough for them; they need something more "concrete." There is nothing more concrete than God's Word. The KJB is based on almost 5700 manuscripts that agree with each other 99.9% of the time. While the perversions are based primarily on two main ones that don't agree with each other. Both the Sinaiticus (Aleph) and the Vaticanus (B) of which are out of the Catholic Church. There certainly a few other manuscripts but the sum total is roughly 44 or 45. So you have 5700 that agree verses 45 that disagree with each other. Makes a whole lot of common sense to go with the 5700. I do realize that many scholars are so smart that they have no common sense, so I'll try and overlook that.

The Vaticanus (B) gets it's name from were it was "mysteriously" found, in the Vatican's Library. Before 1475 it's where abouts was unknown. I have a large collection of books, but I guarantee you I know what I got. There are no first or second century Greek manuscripts hiding out. (B) Contains most of the O.T., although it is missing a bunch, it is missing a large portion of the N.T., such as Matthew 3, Hebrews 9:14-13:25, the Pastoral Epistles, Philemon, and the Book of Revelation. Westcott and Hort preferred the Vaticanus over all other manuscripts which ought to throw up a red flag if nothing else does. The missing parts were copied from other Greek manuscripts, which mean they are flawed, and corrupt. The Gospels leave out 749 entire sentences, and 452 clauses, plus 237 words. While hundreds of other manuscripts like the original TR have all of this included. The Vaticanus leaves out Mark 16:9-20 where there is a blank space on the page, as if someone removed it, because they did.

The Sinaiticus (Aleph) was discovered by Constantine Tischendorf at St. Catherine's Monastery at Mt. Sinai in a trash can. It was in the trash because of all of the mistakes, corruptions, words that had been erased, and added to. That's a very good reason for it to be in the trash can, because it's trash. This monastery is a room filled with dead men's bones. Found in 1844 and the second in 1859. They (349 leaves) are located in the British Library. There are 3,455 words missing from the Gospels alone, compared to other Greek manuscripts. Mark 16:9-20 is erased.

These are just a few of the problems with the critical Greek text, and modern versions that are based on them.

5. Why don't you be more concerned with winning souls than wasting your time concerning the Bible?

It's not anyone's business but since so many concern individuals are asking here goes. We have a visitation time three times a week. Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturdays we go out into our community and share the Gospel with the lost. Since our church has started we have had eight souls saved from hell. Praise God! We give Him all the glory. I plan 15-20 hours a week talking with people, knocking on doors, sharing Jesus, cold canvassing, door to door, hospital, nursing homes, etc. I realize and admit I need to do more. So most of you are right, I don't do enough. I confess that to God. One day when I get to heaven I will wish I had done a whole lot more.

As far as wasting my time fighting for the Bible, I'm not. Truth is worth fighting for. In John 14:6 "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." In John 17:17 Jesus said in the Lord's Prayer, "Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth." Jesus said that God's Word is truth, and Jesus is Truth. If God's Word and Jesus isn't worth fighting for what is? To stand for Truth and God's Word is the greatest stand we can take as a Christian. We all know how great and grand God's name is but God's Word is greater. It tells us that in Psalm 138:2 "I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name." God magnifies His Word above all of His names. So I would dare to say that God's Word is not a waste of time. It is certainly worth standing for and even dying for. Jesus stood for truth, yet the Jews crucified Him. The Apostles stood for truth, and died for it.

6. Why are you celebrating Halloween?

We are not celebrating Halloween. We are making a statement against satan and what Halloween stands for. When most of the world will be dressing up, and giving out candy we will be burning satan’s perversions, music and books. Kind of like sticking it in his face, so to speak. While most churches see nothing wrong with Halloween we do. One church down the road from us is having what they call an "Eternity House," instead of a haunted house. I am assuming they are going to present hell in a negative way, and then present the plan of salvation. That is awesome! I believe this is a great idea. Some may ask, "Why don't you do something similar to try to reach out to the community?" This is a legitimate question. We do things that reach out to the community, and as stated above we do try to reach people with the gospel. Every event that any church does is not necessarily a "soul winning" event. This book burning is not to reach the lost, but to make a statement about our stand for the Word of God. Some churches protest abortion or liquor, which is not winning souls or reaching out to the community as most are talking about. It is a stand for truth, and a church given their views. So everything a church does is not necessarily an evangelist outreach.

7. Why don't you include all the emails instead of just the ones who support you?

Because I don't want to. If those emails contain historical errors and false teachings why would I put them on my site without refuting them? Plus I don't have time to answer thousands of letters, phone calls, and emails. If one wants to see what the liberal, Bible doubter believes, just look on different discussion sites and you can read until your heart is content.

I will eventually place some of the emails on a list, when I have time to address them and as time permits.

8. Why don't you update your web site?

This is the typical question that one would ask who is more concern with the mis-spelling of a word on a sign than what the sign said. I used bad grammar on a church sign that we had that read, "All Abortions Is Murder." Yes, I should have used "are" instead of "is." Someone left a note at our church door saying that we used improper English and it bothered them. Murdering human beings didn't bother them, but improper English did. This shows the mess we are in spiritually in America. Animals and trees have more rights than human beings.

As far as the web site, it gets the job done and I'm happy with it. Is it perfect? No! Is it the most up to date? No! Do we mis-spell words? Yes! Do we use proper English all the time? No! Again, we like it and so do others, but certainly not everyone. We cannot please everyone, and don't try to.

Funny the only people who ever comment about my English are those who question God's Word.

9. Do you ever do any studying or research?

Yes! I do a lot of reading, studying, and research. I have a very large library of good solid books that are written by great men and women of God who believe the KJB. I also have a large library of books that are written by heretics like the list mentioned that we are burning, and that is not a complete list. No I am not burning my own personal copies. The reason being is because I read them to expose their false teachings and heresies. Some would say that makes me a hypocrite, I would disagree. I have also started a Book Review page on this web site to share my findings. I do this with books I agree with as well as those I don't.

As far as the books I have written on the Bible issue, I have a bunch of books written from both sides of the fence. I also have many different versions to see what has been changed, removed, or added to. I am not one of those so-called KJB preachers that say they are KJB, but then occasionally look at another version. I never look at another version in studying any subject, verse, sermons, etc. Again, the only time I use them is to show their lies.

This year my wife and I have gone to two different conferences that involved hours upon hours of teaching and preaching. I have thousands of teaching tapes, cd's, and DVD’s that I have listened to, and some four and five times.

I subscribe to several newspapers, magazines, and newsletters each year. Yes, I do read them.

This year I have spent several thousand dollars on new books, classes, training and teaching.

I also do a lot of reading over the internet from different sources.

At the present time I am reading a 1200 page book on Bible Translation, one 600 pages, as well as another one almost 700 pages long. Not including all the other reading and studying I do for sermons, Sunday school, and Bible study.

There are three main parts in most of my study. First, The Holy Spirit of God through His Word is my main teacher. Secondly, the Word of God, the King James Version Bible. Last but not least, prayer.

10. Are you doing this for media attention?

The way all of this media attention started was not by me. I posted on our church web site what we were doing, and on a local web site for Haywood County. At the time our web site was only getting a couple of hundred visitors a day. Then I was going to take out an advertisement in our local newspaper about the size of a small index card. Just saying "Book Burning", giving our name, location, phone number, date and time of the event. The newspaper refused to run the ad, so I dropped it. The next thing I know, that same newspaper called me for a story, so I gave them one. It did not run till this last Friday (10-23-09), even though they took the story about three weeks earlier. From there a CBS news camera was on our property with a reporter from Ashville. I asked him how he found out about it, and he said, "Someone sent me an email." I did give one Television interview and this was it. Never in my widest dreams did I think anything like this was going to happen. Since then I have been contacted by hundreds of different types of media but I have refused to speak. Everybody from Fox, CNN, Turner Broadcasting, Los Angeles, Wall Street Journal, and even media from other countries, etc. If I was trying to get media attention or draw attention to our event or church I would be speaking to these media outlets. The reason why I have not spoken with the news is because I never intended for any of this. I only wanted to make a statement to our community not to the world. Now that the world has heard my statement I say, "Praise God!" I am not ashamed of my stand, so don't get me wrong. I just wasn't trying to reach out to the world with this. Now that it is out, I certainly don't have a problem with it, but I'm not going to try and spread it myself. If God wants it spread than so be it.

Since that first interview the story has gone around the world and back several times. The story has been twisted, turned and lied about by different commentators, reporters, and announcers. This is typical of most media, as well as politicians.

We had a couple of real nice young guys to visit our church from Ashville, this past Sunday night. They stayed for the whole service and said that they enjoyed it. One of them was a journalist in college. We talked and he was a Christian, but certainly we didn’t agree with everything. I did give him a short interview that will be printed sometime this week in the Ashville paper. To read the article click Here.

I thank God that I have had this opportunity to speak out for Truth, and to stand for God’s Word. I pray that God will use this to help other believers to step up to the plate and take a stand for God, and take a swing at the devil.

11. Why are you so irrational?

What liberal Bible doubters, like James White, means by this is, "Why are you not open minded to other views?" James White challenged me to a debate on October 28 on radio station WNYG in New York. I refused because it is a Contempary Christian radio station, which is a "den of lions." The station nor the host does not believe the KJB to be the only Bible for the English speaking people. George Washington said, "Associate with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for it is better to be alone than in bad company."

I did record the one hour program and Mr. White said that I was "....untaught.... and not rational." His idea of being rational is to open up our (Fundamental) mind to modern versions, critical Greek text, and new ways of thinking. Bible doubters want us to question our Bible (KJB) by being open to their way of thinking. We are not to be open to other versions, corrupt Greek and Hebrew text, higher criticism, liberalism, and New Evangelical ways of thinking. When you know that you have the perfect Word's of God, you don't need to go looking for it. You NEVER QUESTION God's Word. For example: I have been married almost 22 years and I know that God has given me the perfect wife. Should I go and be "open" to looking for another one? Should I look around and see what is out there? Should I play the field? Should I question God's will? Should I question what God has given me? Should I be rational and consider other possibilities in a wife? Should I update her and get a newer version? Certainly not! Yet this is exactly what James White and other liberals like him are telling us in their books. All the while they are not open to our way of thinking. I had rather be uneducated and irrational and know that I have God's preserved, inspired, infallible, inerrant Word of God, than to be a scholar who doesn't know where God's Word is. One person said, "I'd rather be a fool on fire, than a scholar on ice." Don't get me wrong, I am not saying a person should not better themselves or study. They should! But if study and education is going to rob you of your unwavering faith in the KJB, than leave the education to the Bible doubters. I will never be open to anything but the KJB, call me what you want. I don't care!

Mr. White calls me a Ruckmanite which is not true. I have heard the man preach in a church that we use to attend, but I have never been to his school, church, or had no association with him. In fact, I don't even have any of his books. I agree that he is a little crude; most people could not handle him. At the same time I don't believe that people today could handle Jack Hyles, Lester Roloff, Billy Sunday, D.L. Moody, John the Baptist, Paul the Apostle, and Jesus Christ. All of these called people names by the way. I don't agree with his views that the KJB translators were "re-inspired" or "double inspiration." Most people place him far to the right in his views on the KJB. Whereas Mr. White is on the opposite end of the field with the agnostics, liberals, New Evangelicals, and Bible doubters. So if I had to choose to be a Bible doubter and a Ruckmanite I would choose a Ruckmanite. I had rather be too strict than open to the world and satan's views. Don't get me wrong, I am not agreeing with Peter Ruckman, I am not.

I did see that Mr. White challenged Mr. Ruckman to a debate and then backed out. Mr. Ruckman asked Mr. White to come to his college, and he would pay his round trip ticket, lodging, and feed him. Mr. Ruckman offered to give Mr. White more time than he gave himself being more than fair. Mr. White refused wanting a "neutral" place. Yet, Mr. White wanted me to debate him in an unneutral place and then put me down about it. Mr. White would say I didn't read the emails with an open mind though. Plus I told the radio host that the Bible says that debating is a sin. Mr. White said that is not true.

David Cloud said, "Failure to separate from error leaves one open to the influence of error."
