Index David Cloud

Warning!

David Cloud in his book called, "The Bible Version Question/Answer Database" page 9 says, "Having dealt constantly with people who speak English as a 2nd or 3rd language, I am very sympathetic to the very real antiquation problem in the King James Bible. At the same time, I am not going to trade an excellent Bible with a few problems due to old language for a Bible filled with error due to a corrupt text and/or a corrupt translation methodology."

*******

There are NO PROBLEMS IN THE KING JAMES BIBLE INCLUDING LANGUAGE.

Brother Cloud also associates in his books and writings with Dr. D. A. Waite with no warnings about Brother Waite's stand against the KJB being inspired, infallible, and inerrant. Which leads me to believe that Brother Cloud agrees with this stand, but I could be wrong on this point.

"I am convinced that few errors are as destructive to fundamentalist Bible-believing churches as New Evangelism."

*******

"At the heart of theological modernism is an attack upon the authority of the Bible."

*******

"The Fundamentalist movement was never homogenous even in its earliest days. There were many types and divisions."

*******

"J. Frank Norris stood against Modernism in the Southern Baptist Convention. He stood for the whole counsel of God and was not afraid to make an issue of anything clearly taught in Scripture."

*******

"It is clear to honest historians that fifty years ago Fundamentalism was characterized by militancy and separation, and it was this fact that produced the New Evangelical reaction against Fundamentalism."

*******

"The objective of my Christian life and ministry is not to be a good Fundamentalists but it is to be faithful to God's Word in all matters."

*******

"In the first half of the 20th century Evangelicalism in America was largely synonymous with Fundamentalism. By the mid-1950's, though, a clear break between separatist Fundamentalists and non-separatist Evangelicals occurred."

*******

"The sons of Evangelical-Fundamentalist preachers determined to create a "New Evangelicalism." They would not be fighters; they would be dipolmats, positive in their emphasis rather than militant, infiltrators rather than separatists. They would not be restricted by a separationist mentality."

*******

"It is impossible to be a New Evangelical and hold 'fierce' convictions!"

*******

"Failure to separate from error leaves one open to the influence of error."

*******

"The Bible does not instruct believers to dialogue with false teachers but to preach the truth to them and to rebuke their errors."

*******

"Close association with sin and error corrupts godly thinking and living. Just as a good apple cannot raise the standard of a barrel of bad apples, a true Christian cannot raise the standard of an apostate or deeply compromised church or association."

1 Corinthians 15:33 "Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners."

*******

"The command of God is not to dialogue with heretics but to reject them."

Titus 3:9-11 "But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject; Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself."

*******

"The chief danger of New Evangelicalism is not the error that is preached but the truth that is neglected."

Acts 20:27 "For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God."

*******

"The Gospel begins with the bad news of God's condemnation of our sin before it gets to the good news of forgiveness through Jesus Christ."

*******

"Biblical preaching always has a strong element of warning and plain correction."

*******

"Nothing clearly taught in Scripture is to be despised and set aside for the purpose of unity."

*******

"I am not responsible to maintain a unity of spirit with every professing believer in the world, but with the believers in my assembly (church)."

*******

"If one is faithful to the New Testament faith, it is impossible to have wide fellowship, and if one is committed to a wide fellowship he must limit his message to something less than the whole counsel of God."

*******

"Apostasy usually begins among the intellectuals."

*******

"The Bible believer is not anti-intellectual in the sense of being anti-learning and education; but he understands the dangers inherent in human scholarship because of man's fallen nature; and he is opposed to humanistic scholarship that is divorced from and antagonistic to God's Word."

*******

"To gain intellectual respectability requires deep spiritual compromise."

*******

"The pride of intellect is a very dangerous trap."

*******

"New Evangelicalism appears to be zealous for the truth and bold against error, but in practice, it turns its fiercest guns upon the Fundamentalists."

*******

"Billy Graham is the king of inconsistency and contradiction. This is why he has been called 'Mr. Facing Both Ways.'"

*******

"It is impossible to take Bible doctrine seriously without being dogmatic."

*******

"When it's God's time for something to happen, that thing WILL happen and all the forces of earth and hell cannot stop it."

*******

"A person can be right in his external appearance and not be right with God in his heart, but when a person is right with God internally he or she will be concerned about dressing modestly and not causing others to stumble."

*******

"The Christian must be concerned about how his appearance influences others."

*******

"The book of Proverbs is God's child discipline manual. There is more sound information on child training in the little book of Proverbs than in all the child psychology books that have ever been written."

*******

"It is an irrefutable fact that a man that does not drink will never get drunk and will certainly never become drunk."

*******

"The Bible does not suggest that we abstain from all appearance of evil; it commands us to do so."

*******

"When light associates with darkness and truth associates with error, the result is always the corruption of light and truth."

*******

"The road of compromise runs never up but only down and leads only to apostasy."

*******

"A spiritual warning that is given by a Spirit-filled child of God and that is based on Scripture is not an attack; it is not hurtful; it is not meanness; it is an act of obedience to God and compassion to the offender."

*******

"Biblical evangelism is not salesmanship."

*******

"The preacher that keeps his mouth shut in the face of error is in open disobedience to God's commands and is assisting the devil's program by his awful silence."

*******

"One of the reasons why we reject the modern textual criticism that has given us the multiplicity of modern Bible versions is its affinity to and intimate association with end time apostasy.

*******

"A good Christian book is simply good preaching."

*******

"The giving of children is God's domain, and no government has the right to play God."

Psalms 127:3-5 "Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate."

*******

"If scientists can't forecast major weather patterns five months ahead how can they forecast global warning patterns years ahead? They cannot."

*******

"God has given man the right to use the earth's resources in a responsible manner. The environmentalist movement is not based on proven science; it is not merely the push for reasonable conservation; it is a blind religious faith."

*******

"When Marxist globalists jump on the envirnmentalist bandwagon, you have to know that something other than love for a clean earth is driving the agenda."

*******

"A determination to follow Christ is not the same as acknowledging one's utter sinfulness and surrendering oneself into His care and trusting Him exclusively as one's Saviour."

*******

"Lack of clarity about personal salvation is a foundational error of the emerging church."

*******

"It is not the will of Christ that we ever grow complacent about sin and error in the churches."

*******

"Dedicated Roman Catholics are obviously real people who are committed to Christ, but what Christ? Rome teaches that the consecrated wafer is Christ."

*******

"Mysticism is an attempt to experience God, and it is never satisfied with a faith walk based on God's Word."

*******

"God has not revealed Himself in silence; He has revealed Himself in the Bible. And the Bible never exhorts us to try to experience God in silence....Christ taught His disciples to pray by saying words, not by sitting in silence."

*******

"The objective of homosexual activists is to shut down every church that opposes their agenda and refuses to keep quiet."

*******

"The best time to teach a girl how to dress modestly is when she is a toddler."

Proverbs 22:6 "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."

*******

"The key is not merely dressing a child properly but teaching her why she is dressed that way, and instilling in her the Bible principles of modesty throughout her childhood.....Female fashions change constantly, and the Christian woman must learn how to apply Bible principles to whatever comes along."

*******

"The fashion industry today is morally perverted and is seeking to sexualize children from very early ages."

*******

"Boys don't respect girls anymore because girls don't require and demand it."

*******

"The environmentalist movement is not based on proven science; it is not merely the push for reasonable conservation; it is a blind religious faith."

*******

"If scientists can't forecast major weather patterns five months ahead how can they forecast global warming patterns years ahead?"

*******

"Though we recognize that doctors aren't gods and they are imperfect and make mistakes, it is truly foolish and unscriptural to reject the benefits of modern medicine."
