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. |
