BBB:Ich hatte eine kameraden

   February 21, 1989, David Otis Fuller died after attending a prayer
meeting at the Wealthy Park Baptist Church in Grand Rapids, Michigan,
where he was a retired pastor. He was eighty-four years old. When the
German troops lost a comrade in arms, their favorite funeral march was
Ich Hatte Eine Kameraden, which means "I had a comrade."

   This comrade was a graduate of Wheaton College and Princeton
Theological Seminary, who had an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree
from Dallas Theological Seminary. He authored eighteen books, and
edited several of Charles Haddon Spurgeon's books. He played a large
part in establishing Christian organizations, including Grand Rapids
Baptist College and Seminary, Grand Rapids Baptist Academy, The
Michigan Christian Home, and The Evangelical Hospital Chaplaincy. David
Otis Fuller pastored Chelsea Baptist Church in Atlantic City before
moving to Grand Rapids where he pastored the Wealthy Street Baptist
Church for forty years. He is survived by Virginia, his wife of
fifty-six years, three children, and several grandchildren .

   David Otis Fuller was the one who put out the book called "Which
Bible?" which is the basic and correct historic position against the
NASV, ASV, NIV, and similar Jesuit publications. David Otis Fuller was
a champion for the Greek Textus Receptus of the Antiochan church. In
our book "The Last Grenade," you will see that although at times he had
his doubts about some of the wording in the King James Bible, he would
not correct it, and did not correct it, and believed it until the day
he died. Bible believers lost a real comrade when they lost David Otis
Fuller.
