“WHAT IS TONSURE ASPHYXIATION?”

aka “I’VE GOT A MASTER OF DIVINITY DEGREE!”

 

I was reading my Bible at a coffee shop the other day, when a middle aged, enthusiastic, lady sat down at the next table, along with a couple of other people, and she said “Oh! I see you have a Bible?”

 

I said “Yes, I’m a Christian. How about you?

 

She enthusiastically said “Oh yes!”

 

I said “Let me ask you a couple of questions.”

 

“If you died tonight, will you be in heaven or hell?’’

 

“Heaven absolutely” she said

 

“Why would God let you in” I asked

 

She said “The blood of Jesus Christ has washed away all my sin.”

 

“Good answer” I said.

 

What else do I need to get into heaven … water baptism?”

 

“No.” she said

 

“Good answer” I said.

 

“How about speaking in some of tongues?” I asked

 

“No” she replied.

 

“Good answer” I said

 

I said “What church do you go to?”

 

Presbyterian … Reformed.” she said

 

“Ooops! That’s a shame. Wrong answer” I said

 

And then what ensued was all her arguments about “the originals; the ‘Greek’; the Hebrew; recent manuscripts; those poor old ignorant 1611 Translators; mistakes in the Bible; current advanced scholarship … blah! blah! blah!

 

Dear Reader, just click on some of the articles below to get the facts on these topics.

 

And this back and forth continued for about ten minutes with my giving her the correct factual information … with her fiercely resisting all.

 

I then said “Lady, you need to stop setting yourself up as a teacher of doctrine.”

 

She said “I am submitted to my husband and only teach what he teaches.”

 

I said “That’s a problem because he’s teaching you wrong doctrine.’’

 

She said “None of the Doctors and Professors in Bible Colleges, that I know, believe the King James Bible is without mistakes … no-one.”

 

I said “They’re wrong as well”

 

At this stage, she could not believe her ears, and started to quiver at the mouth, and started crying.

 

No-one had ever talked to her like this.

 

She said “My husband has a Masters of Divinity” as if to shut me up completely.

 

At this juncture, she turned to her companions for solace and tissues to dry her eyes.

 

You see, this Christian lady … yes, I believed she is saved, my sister in Christ, I’ll see her in heaven one day … would not be subject to the infallible and inerrant English of the King James Bible.

 

She also said “I read the Bible with the Greek and the Hebrew beside me.”

 

I calmly replied “Dear Lady, you wouldn’t know the Greek or the Hebrew if they jumped up and bit you on the ankle!”

 

And that’s the problem with today’s Bible Colleges.

 

The Bible Colleges … without exception (99.99%) … destroy their students belief out of believing the plain inerrancy of the King James Bible.

 

Hence I write this article.

 

Furthermore, Dear Reader, fancy calling yourself a Master of Divinity … a Master of the Divine.

 

“Oh! I get it!

 

First you get a Certificate of Divinity … and then work your way up to be more Divine … getting an Associate Diploma of Divinity; followed by a Diploma of Divinity; then a Bachelors of Divinity; then Honours in Divinity; ascending to being a Master of Divinity; culminating in a PhD in Divinity … what’s next? … Professor of Divinity; Right Reverend of Divinity … and ascending upwards through the heavens!”

 

“WOW!” I can see God parting the clouds “we just have to get this Divine person up here as soon as we can.”

 

These scripture twisters reject the King James Bible, which then results in their heaping upon themselves satanic worldly titles, degrees and honours … and the list is endless.

 

Giving yourself the title of Divine must make you divine right? Wrong!

 

It’s called Tonsure Asphyxiation … where the Roman Catholic tonsure slips to be around the neck resulting in the death of Bible doctrine.

 

Their self-appointed title of Divinity … they place on their own head … soon drops down to choke them around the neck …all the while being willingly ignorant of the terror of the Lord … which is addressed solely to Christians … not the unsaved (2 Corinthians 5:11).
