PER:Items of interest

   The Plains Baptist Challenger (E.L. Bynum, Lubbock, Texas) has,
through the years, printed a very valuable chronology of America,
covering almost every major development in the religious world in the
years 1951 to 1990. We include here some of these items which are sehr
interessant (as the Germans say). Only hindsight reveals how noteworthy
these things were when they occurred.

   1. Col. Harland Sanders died in Louisville, December 16, 1980 (age
90). He was the millionaire who set up the greasy Kentucky Fried
Chicken joints. Col. Sanders drew $250,000 a year from Heublin Inc.,
one of the nation's largest liquor firms; it promoted Kentucky Fried
Chicken. While he was promoting the liquor interests, Col. Sanders was
featured on two Christian television programs: Jack Van Impe and Jerry
Falwell.

   2. A Bob Jones University graduate (Dr. James Higgs) pastored the
First Baptist Church in San Francisco after surfacing as PROFESSOR at
the San Francisco Baptist Theology Seminary. His church is a member in
good standing with the NCCC and the World Council of Churches, two of
the greatest anti-Biblical, Communist front organizations in the United
States.

   What does Higgs profess? He professes what Bob Jones Jr. and Curtis
Hutson profess. Here it is, "I have exposed the errors of modernism,
liberalism, neo-orthodoxy and the new evangelicalism. I am not ashamed
to be called a Fundamentalist."

   Ditto Bob Jones III and John R. Rice.

   Higgs only was lacking one thing: THE SCRIPTURES. He never read
them. All he read was "reliable versions."

   3. Arlington Baptist College (before it completely collapsed in
total apostasy): "The King James Bible is as reliable today for us as
the original Greek was to its readers...The King James Bible is as
reliable as GOD, for He has built eternity into His Word...The King
James Bible's reliability is evidenced through the ministry of untold
multitudes...The King James Bible is as reliable AS THE BIBLE JESUS
USED. There were no original copies of Moses or the prophets available
to Him...When you hold in your hand a KING JAMES BIBLE, know without a
doubt that YOU HOLD THE VERY WORD OF GOD."

   "Heresy!", "Blasphemy!", "Cultism!", etc. etc. What's on channel six?

   4. John Lennon, before he got his brains blown out, said, "I don't
believe in the Bible, I don't believe in Jesus...I just believe in ME,
Yoko and ME" (March 1981). Good confession. BJU couldn't do it any
better, nor could PCS: "I don't believe in any Bible, including the one
I use; I believe in ME. My opinion about my friends' opinions and
preferences is REALITY."

   Paul Smith (Oswald J. Smith's son, in Toronto, Canada) promptly
honored John Lennon. He advertised in The Toronto Star (Dec. 13, 1980,
p. G8), "Hear one of John Lennon's greatest songs played to the full in
the morning service. Listen to the message he preached to a world at
war."

   No one at the Peoples' Church in Toronto is "King James Only."

   5.Here is the bold, militant stand of the interdenominational Bible
corrector, Curtis Hutson. He wrote to James Robinson (Jan. 7, 1981),
withdrawing himself from a Bible conference sponsored by that gentleman
because Mrs. Phyllis Schafley (a Roman Catholic) was on the same
platform. Hutson cited 2 Cor. 6:14 for his withdrawal. He cited NOTHING
for remaining on the NKJV committee--and I have the official Thomas
Nelson brochure with his name published in it--which contained not only
Charismatics and Five-point Calvinists, but Harold Ockenga, the prince
of "neo-evangelicalism," who coined the term.

   Two standards: it comes from having dual authorities.

   6. Learning sodomy and perversion is now part of the currilulum in
the high schools in San Francisco. The sex perverts in the educational
system desired back in 1981 to get it into the middle schools. The idea
is, the teacher demonstrates sex perversion in the classroom to prove
that it is not abnormal or "perverted." (Moody Monthly, Jan. 1, 1981,
cited in March 1981).

   Tom Ammiano, a sex pervert, who is president of the Fairy Teachers'
Coalition, says that the students are to "ACT OUT THE GAY ROLES."
Demonstrate perversion.

   The Supreme Court ruled this was legal, but PRAYER was illegal.

   7. In the hopes of spreading AIDS, scientists are being funded by
the Health, Education and Welfare Department (!!) to cross human sperm
with apes. Dr. R.V. Short of Edinburgh, Scotland, believes that
chimpanzees and orangutans are good sexual prospects (Life Advocate Jan
. 1980).

   It had already been done, Doc. It produced AIDS, (actually GRID)
from GREEN MONKEYS.

   Don't get carried away with the jungle, Doc. You were supposed to
have left it four thousand years before the blacks did.

   8. Dr. Jesse Jackson, America's leading Communist since Michael
Luther King, Jr., was awarded his doctor's degree at Oral Roberts
University (April 10, 1978). No one knows why he wasn't called "Doctor"
when he ran for president (Voice of Fundamenhlism, Box 6562,
Greenville, SC 29606).

   9. Another professor (see the BJU boy above). This one at New
Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary (Southern Baptist Convention): "I
do not know of anyone today who naturally ASSUMES, as the writer of
Hebrews did, that sins can be washed away only by the blood of
sacrifices...I believe it is unwise to seek for a necessity of the
cross. It is quite possible to AFFIRM and CLARIFY (dig that vocab,
Jack!) the importance of the cross without speaking of its NECESSITY."

   Child, it is POSSIBLE to "affirm" and "clarify" any LIE.

   If you don't know of anyone, little boy, who ASSUMES that sins can
only be washed away by blood, you must have been raised in a hot house
on the backside of the Mojave Desert. Every Christian denominational
creed from 1500 to 1970 states that Christ's death is the means of our
redemption and salvation, for "without shedding of blood is no
remission." This kid is a "professor." Can you imagine it?

   10. We have saved the best for dessert. This is the president of the
BBF writing from Baptist Bible College in Springfield, Missouri (Dec.
12, 1980), making a complete LIAR out of every teacher in the school,
plus all of the graduates who thought Hymers, Combs, Hudson, McHugh,
Waite, Bob Jones III, Kutilek, or Sumner had the sense God gave to a
brass monkey. Here is his blasphemous insult in the best "Ruckmanite"
style you ever saw:

   "I say this without any reservation whatsoever; I would not retain a
professor at Baptist Bible College who does not believe that OUR
TRANSLATION OF THE BIBLE IS THE INSPIRED WORD OF GOD. We stand upon
that FACT, and praise God, we will build on that FACT."

   Fire the faculty. Start with Combs and finish with Sherman. Then
collect $1000 in cash from the biggest "hot dogger" BBF ever promoted,
Hot Dog Hymers in California, who teaches that if you believe the AV is
"inspired" YOU ARE "DEMONIZED." Fire the faculty that Bob Jones III
pays, because he and Hymers are in fellowship, and then fire the
faculty and staff at Tennessee Temple who are so afraid of being called
"Ruckmanites" they would rather go to the RACK.

   You're welcome. We appreciate "sharing" this with you!

   Have a nice day.
