I didn't notice this topic about HAC under Dr. Jack Schaap for a long time. Till it appears at Baptist Colleges recently.
I would like to make post on Jack Hyles.
I read a post in this topic, a person asked, is there any change of Hyles' belief in 20 years?
Yes. During year 1960's, Dr. Hyles was not KJV Onlyism.
I do have his book - "Let's Study the Revelation" written in year 1967. Dr. Hyles took these notes, which he taught it at his former church - Miller Road Baptist Church in Garland, Texas. He taught to the congregation on Revelation in year 1953. That was 48 years before Hyles' death. I read his comment on each verse by verse throughout book of Revelation. All of these verses from KV. I notice Hyles said of some verses from KJV is error, few of them, he says, "is better translated..." I believe, during that period around early 1950's, Dr. Hyles seems think KJV have some errors. Dr. John Rice was Jack Hyles' best friend since late 1950's to Rice's death. Dr. Hyles was aware that Dr. Rice is not KJV Onlyism. Still Dr. Hyles respect or admired Dr. Rice so much.
When I was a student at Bible college in the late 1990's. The teacher demanded us to read Dave Hyles' book -"Man's Role". For the class of man's role. The teacher told us, Dave Hyles already fall in sins years ago.
I did read throughout that book for class requirement. Interesting, Dave said, when he was a little boy. He went to the mall in Chicago, with his family. When he saw water foundation. He threw a penny in the water foundation. Immediately, his Dad yelled and said to him, "Off your shoe and sock, walk into the water foundation, pick up your penny, and put it in your pocket, not waste your money!" Dave was in red face and very embrass walked into the water foundation, while people were watching him same time.
What kind of father, Jack was???
No wonder, how sick Jack was. That why. Dave's biography life so awful terrible and sinful. I believe Jack already spoiled Dave's reputation. I think Jack's the role of father was failed. Also, I think he was acts like Pharisee as legalist. Also. he was focus on his ministry too much, not spent time with family even with his son.
I went to First Baptist Church of Hammond for Hyles' funereal in Febraury 2001. I was invited to my old friend's house. His wife told me about 'Pastors' School 2000'. Dr. Hyles invited Dr. Al Lacy came to lecture on KJV. During that Pastors School Conference in year 2000. She told me, Dr. Hyles was act so very weird. He shouted and jump, jump, jump and said, "KJV!" "KJV!" "KJV!" I was laughed what Dr. Hyles' action during Pastors School. That is kind of cult movement. I am against KJV Onlyism Movement. Understand, I am NOT against KJV. I do support KJV 100%. I do NOT worship KJV as my idol. Only worship Jesus Christ.
Sad news, what I heard from my friend told me about deaf couple from First Baptist Church of Hammond. A deaf man who graduated from Hyles-Anderson College in year 1999. He became evangelist. He got divorced in 2003. That man who invited me visit his house during Hyles' funeral.
He told me, he have to work full-time job at the factory to support his big family. He have to ask his boss(Hyles) for his approval, what the name of church, he will go for the revival. Because, Hyles required him go to church only with KJV for the revival. He cannot go to any churches without use KJV. That was no sense!
There are so plenty of deaf ministries in America need revival, need him go and preaching there.
Rev. Ronnie Rice is a deaf evangelist. He graduated from Tenneesee Temple University. He do travel many baptist churches for the revivals. BUT, he admits that he do attend Methodist churches with deaf ministry for revivals. I do not criticizse him. Nothing wrong with that. Deaf needs revival, not because of KJV. Focus on the gospel and Jesus Christ.
I believe my friend who invited me visit his house during Hyles' funeral, got divorced, because of that church caused his family destroyed because of KJV Onlyism situation, finical(money budget), and authorization problems.
I heard from my best friend from Washington D.C. told me, he heard from one deaf member of his church, that he heard from Jack Schaap shouted and said, "Hyles failed to built tabernacle, now I am King Solomon to replaced Hyles' place, and built bigger building..."
Right now, First Baptist Church is built a new bigger auditorium building. It should be finish this month with 10,000 seats and worth over $20 million dollars.
One thing that I dislike, when I visited First Baptist Church for Hyles' funereal. I saw three story building painted on its side outside. It painted of Jack Hyles with his wife Beverly, for his 50th Anniversary as pastor of First Baptist Church. That picture on the three story building looks so giant about 30 to 40 feet long. What a disguise looking. Because they worshipping Hyles too much. Also, they throw flowers on that building under the giant painted picture of Hyles and his wife during funeral on a rainy evening.
Also, I went into old First Baptist Church building. Oh what a unbelieveable! I looked in the hallway. There was overwhelming tons of flowers lied on the floor all the way through the hallway. They worshipping Hyles too much!
I did went down to the altar in the auditorium to looking at Jack Hyles' coffin, but, I only spot of my eye at him for ONE second, then walk away, that's it.
In the fall of 2001. At Hyles-Anderson College, they built 7 feet statute of Hyles and his wife around the campus of HAC. They still worshipping Hyles as their god.
That's sad.
In Christ
Rev. 22:20 -Amen!
