Important Announcement:
Because I have reached my broadcast limit
of 3-times-in-a-month,
and since this is my fourth article
for this month in November,
I cannot use the broadcast list
to inform nearly 2,000 people on my WhatsApp list
about this latest release of my article
without getting blocked.
In other words, nearly 2,000 people
are unaware that I had released this article.
Note that only those who are on a few chat groups
that I created, about 50 people,
are able to receive the news of this latest article,
but they are only a tiny minority.
This is coupled with the fact
that NCCS & APCCS themselves
are likely to discourage
their Denomination & Church members
to forward my article,
or Church members themselves choose not to forward
as a badge of loyalty to their denomination heads.
Since this is the case,
could you, as my supporters,
kindly help to forward this article
to as many of your friends and relatives as possible.
Excerpts of Part 2:
But why did Bishop Philip Lim and NCCS
chose to turn a blind eye again and again
to such unmistakable proofs
that Joseph Prince is a heretic?
Because of self-preservation.
The selfish presupposition of Bishop Philip Lim and NCCS
is that since the NCCS of yesteryears
didn’t wish to see Joseph Prince as a heretic,
they too, for institutional self-preservation,
must follow suit and continue to maintain the lie
that Joseph Prince isn’t a heretic.
They are too afraid of the wrath of their predecessors,
who may come down hard on them,
if they were to take a different path.
But at what expense?
At the expense of signalling to Joseph Prince
and the Church in Singapore and the world
that the heresies that Joseph Prince preaches
is acceptable to Christian Orthodoxy.
This would certainly give legitimacy and credibility
to Joseph Prince’s message,
and in the days to come,
his influence will grow even more,
and more and more of the sheep
especially in Singapore and the world
would be deceived and led to their eternal ruin.
Instead of warning the sheep about the wolf and heretic,
Joseph Prince, and exposing and expelling him,
Bishop Philip Lim and NCCS
have continued to harbour and protect him
under the umbrella of NCCS,
for him to continue to deceive the sheep
and lead them to the Lake of Fire.
This is an utterly shameful and abominable development
for the Singapore Church
– that instead of acting against the heretic, Joseph Prince,
the top leadership of the Singapore Church
is silently colluding with the wolf
by allowing Joseph Prince to operate unhindered
under NCCS umbrella
to destroy their own sheep.
… Despite the fact that Joseph Prince’s teachings
– that the presentation of a counterfeit Jesus
would lead people to their destruction,
Bishop Philip Lim and NCCS have chosen not to act.
This proves that they have sinned against God
for not doing the right thing:
James 4:17 ESV
17 So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.
This article was also sent to Bishop Philip Lim, President of the National Council of Churches of Singapore (NCCS) and Rev Dr Ngoei Foong Nghian, General Secretary and for the attention of the Executive Committee Members.
This article was also sent to the Alliance of Pentecostal & Charismatic Churches of Singapore (APCCS), for the attention of the Chairman, Rev Yang Tuck Yoong & Co Chairman, Rev Dominic Yeo (General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God of Singapore) and Council Members.
Part 1: Archbishop, Dr Titus Chung, Bishop Philip Lim and NCCS must clarify whether Joseph Prince had lied to them that he had issued an invitation for us to meet him in 2021;
if they refused to clarify, they have marred our character because they have given the false impression that we didn’t responsibly respond to Joseph Prince’s so-called invitation, even though it wasn’t given
Let us recap the 20 Points that Bishop Philip Lim,
President of NCCS wrote:
Let me address Points No 15 to 17 that Bishop Philip Lim wrote:
15 Furthermore, on 3 December 2021, the Executive Committee led by then NCCS president Archbishop Dr Titus Chung, arranged for a meeting with Pastor Joseph Prince and several of his senior leaders. The meeting was held via Zoom conferencing.
16 Subsequently, a joint-statement was read to the General Committee meeting on 27 January 2022. At that meeting, it was repeated that Pastor Joseph Prince welcomed the authors of the open letters to
engage him directly on their complaint against him.
17 New Creation Church has indicated that none of the authors of the 2021 open letters responded to the invitation to engage Pastor Joseph Prince directly.
It is rather strange that the then NCCS President
(now its Vice-President),
Archbishop Dr Titus Chung,
arranged for a meeting (zoom conferencing) on 3 Dec 2021
with Joseph Prince and several of his senior leaders,
when we have proven that in our 2021 correspondence
with NCCS
that Joseph Prince is a heretic and a wolf.
If Archbishop Dr Titus Chung,
doesn’t agree with our assessment,
then he has to prove that Joseph Prince isn’t a heretic.
But he has not done so.
This was about 5 years ago.
Now, 5 years later,
humongous amounts of more proofs
were featured on my website that Joseph Prince is a heretic,
and every article on my website for the past 5 years
was copied to NCCS.
But up to today, Archbishop Dr Titus Chung,
Bishop Philip Lim and NCCS
have never proven that Joseph Prince isn’t a heretic.
My 3 most recent Articles in Nov this year, 2025,
have also proven that Joseph Prince is a heretic.
This is not based on hearsay or personal opinion.
This is based on what Joseph Prince said in his sermons,
and what he wrote in his books,
and also by comparing with the Holy Scriptures,
and the doctrinal stand of a man of God,
such as Martyn Lloyd-Jones.
So, for them, being leaders of the Singapore Church,
to have a meeting with Joseph Prince,
after we have proven that Joseph Prince is a wolf,
while they have not disproven
that Joseph Prince isn’t a heretic,
is unthinkable.
Next, Archbishop Titus Chung and Bishop Philip Lim
seemed to suggest in items No 15-17 of the letter
that Joseph Prince had issued an invitation
for us to meet him, but we did not respond.
The truth is, we have never received such an invitation
from Joseph Prince to meet him at all.
So, someone is telling a lie.
Archbishop Dr Titus Chung, Bishop Philip Lim
and NCCS were probably slipshod about this issue
because they did not confirm this allegation
whether Joseph Prince had issued an invitation
for us to meet him.
before making this public.
Or, Joseph Prince had probably told
Archbishop Dr Titus Chung and NCCS
the lie
that he had issued the invitation for us to meet him
but we did not respond.
If that is so, haven’t I proven time and time again
that Joseph Prince is a serial liar.
So, how can Archbishop Dr Titus Chung, Bishop Philip Lim
and NCCS
afford to have a serial liar leading a church
to be a member of NCCS?
is that since Bishop Philip Lim and NCCS,
have made this issue public,
Archbishop Dr Titus Chung, Bishop Philip Lim and NCCS,
must clarify the claim, publicly,
– did Joseph Prince tell them that
he had issued an invitation for us to meet him?
But if Archbishop Titus Chung, Bishop Philip Lim and NCCS
refused to clarify,
then they have given a false impression
and hence, marred our character as people,
who didn’t bother to respond to Joseph Prince
(even though no such invitation was issued by him.)
Bishop Philip Lim and NCCS must correct this false impression
they have written about us,
or, they can be accused of bearing false witness.
Let me also state that even if Joseph Prince were to issue
an invitation to meet him,
we will only attend
if NCCS, as the third party, is also present.
Meeting Joseph Prince and his representatives
without the NCCS being present
is of no use at all.
You know what the outcome would be.
It would be a pure waste of time
because at the end of the day,
it would be
‘You hold to your doctrinal position
and I hold to my doctrinal position,’
that’s all.
Furthermore, are Archbishop Dr Titus Chung,
Bishop Philip Lim and NCCS
truly not aware
that a high level of Singapore’s Senior Pastors
from Love Singapore, including Rev Derek Hong,
had met Joseph Prince,
to confront him about his unbiblical teachings,
but Joseph Prince wasn’t willing to be corrected
and remained defiant
and nothing came out of it.
Are Archbishop Dr Titus Chung, Bishop Philip Lim
and NCCS sincerely in the dark
that one of their Ex President of NCCS, a Lutheran Bishop,
whom I have known since the 1970s,
who had spoken to Joseph Prince for about 3 hours
on the phone about his strange teachings,
and yet, Joseph Prince wouldn’t budge one bit
about his teachings
and nothing came out of it?
How did I know?
Well, this Ex President of NCCS, a Lutheran Bishop,
related that to my wife and I
when we met him face-to-face.
So given that this is the scenario,
does Archbishop Dr Titus Chung, Bishop Philip Lim
and NCCS honestly think that anything good
would come out of any meeting with Joseph Prince,
even though a team of Singapore Senior Pastors
and an Ex President of NCCS have spoken to Joseph Prince
and nothing came out of it?
Come on! Let’s not pretend!
The fact that Bishop Philip Lim and NCCS
are probably aware of all these happenings,
and yet, they seem to give the impression
that they themselves are unaware
– that many people have already approached
and confronted Joseph Prince,
and yet, nothing came out of it.
And yet, they are asking us to meet him.
For what?
To waste everybody’s time?
The fact that Joseph Prince isn’t even open to correction
by a group of Senior Pastors from Love Singapore who met him,
and an Ex President of NCCS who spoke to him for 3 hours,
and this ought to send a strong signal to you
that Joseph Prince is a heretic
as all heretics act in that same way,
not allowing anyone to correct them;
and this simply means that you,
being the top leadership of the Singapore Church,
ought to have stepped in to deal with the issue,
without even being prompted by us.
Finally, what is the issue all about?
The issue is not a quarrel between 2 parties,
but whether Joseph Prince is a heretic.
How can we establish whether Joseph Prince is a heretic
in a meeting between us and Joseph Prince
without the NCCS being present
with their considered and objective judgement?
Part 2: With yet another evidence that Joseph Prince had dared to twist the words of the Lord Jesus, who is God Himself regarding John 15:2; proving again that he is a heretic;
and if Bishop Philip Lim and NCCS still refused to act against Joseph Prince, this proves they have sinned against God as they have hardened their conscience to do what they know to be right because of self-preservation (James 4:17)
In a sermon on 16 Nov 2025, 3 days ago,
Lim Lian Neo said:
Please click here to view the video:
“And that is why, let me show you John 15, verse 2,
it says, every branch in me that does not bear fruit,
he takes away. You say, ayo, so scary.
He takes away.
He said, he casts me away.
No, takes away is not cast away.
Unfortunately, the English is takes away.
But the Greek is the word ‘airo’.
So when it says, the branch that does not bear fruit,
that means it’s on the ground, it’s dusty.
God doesn’t say, useless lah, this one.
Take it away, take it away.
Out, out with it, out.
No, the word ‘airo’ means.
Have we shown them the meaning of ‘airo’?
It means to bear up, to lift up, to carry.
I want you to know, when you are connected to the vine,
and you are dusty and down,
what do you do?
Allow the Lord to lift you up,
carry you and bear you up,
so that you will be fruitful.
The Lord does not say, take away, cast away.
And everyone say, amen, amen.”
Lim Lian Neo is only parroting what her boss,
Joseph Prince had taught regarding John 15:2.
In a sermon, Joseph Prince said:
Please click here to view the video:
“Go back to John 15:2.
‘Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit
He takes away.’
Now we have more and more people realising the truth.
And I’ve shared this down through the years
– the word ‘takes away’ in the Greek
is the Greek word, ‘airo’
which actually is to ‘lift up.’
The reason why many believers cannot bear fruit
is because the devil has cast them down,
and they are depressed.
They are wallowing in the dust.
But if a branch is not bearing fruit,
God does not kick the branch.
God does not slap the branch
– ah too bad, you fell.
No, what the Lord does to help it bear fruit
is the Lord lifts up.
Isn’t the Lord Jesus always lifting up?
He lifts up the woman of Samaria
when no one bothered to care for her.
She came alone to the well.
He cared for the woman of Nain when her son died.
He cared for the tears of Martha and Mary.
He’s always lifting.
The Bible says he went about doing good, healing all.
Always lifting up. Always restoring.
And he raised Jairus’ daughter.
He lifts her up.
And he raised Peter’s mother-in-law.
He raised her up.
He’s always lifting up.
And the boy fell to the ground,
and the demon was foaming.
And Jesus says,
‘Leave him alone, come out of him
and enter no more into him.’
The demon left, and Jesus lifted up the boy.
He’s always lifting up.
When you don’t bear fruit, He lifts you up.
Not He takes you away.
… It is not take away.
It is – lifts you up.
A sermon from God should lift you up,
not throw you down the dust.
Make you feel sin-conscious.”
Joseph Prince’s deceptive use of Greek words
to twist the Lord Jesus Christ’s (who is God Himself) words
in John 15:2,
must be the work of the devil and his servant, Joseph Prince,
as this is not the first time Joseph Prince has done it.
Joseph Prince has yet again broken the rule
of interpreting a text in its context
in John 15:1-6.
Joseph Prince said:
“The reason why many believers cannot bear fruit
is because the devil has cast them down,
and they are depressed.”
Where in the context of John chapter 15
and John 15:1-6, in particular,
is the devil even mentioned?
Where in the text, did it say that it was the devil
who was responsible for the believer, not bearing fruit?
Joseph Prince’s feel-good teaching sounds like sweet honey
to those listening
because by falsely concluding that it is the devil
who is responsible for our failure to bear fruit,
he takes the responsibility away from the people.
Isn’t it a feel-good teaching that I am not responsible
for my failings, and even if I am really at fault,
I can conveniently blame it on the devil as a scapegoat?
No wonder so many people
love to hear Joseph Prince’s sermons
because he really knows how to make them feel good.
John 15:1-6 clearly says that the reason for not bearing fruit
has nothing to do with the devil,
but is due to the failure of the believer himself
to remain or abide in Christ.
By mentioning the devil is the one who is the cause of believers
for not bearing fruit when it is silent in the text,
means Joseph Prince is interpreting the passage out of context.
He has also transgressed the rule
of reading something foreign, ‘the devil’,
into the text to support his view
when he is not supposed to.
By breaking this same rule
about interpreting a text in its context yet again
that he has frequently warned other preachers
for transgressing,
it means he is an unrepentant hypocrite,
and the real super con man.
“And I’ve shared this down through the years
– the word ‘takes away’ in the Greek
is the Greek word, ‘airo’
which actually is to ‘lift up.’
… But if the branch is not bearing fruit,
God does not kick the branch.
God does not slap the branch – ah too bad, you fell.
No, what the Lord does to help it bear fruit
is the Lord lifts up.”
This is yet another example
of Joseph Prince’s feel-good teaching
that endears him to many.
Can you see now what is his secret of Church growth?
Preaching feel-good sermons that people love to hear.
Who doesn’t want God to help us when we are down?
And there is nothing wrong
for every Christian to desire such help.
But what Joseph Prince said in the video is not true
in the context of John 15:1-6.
As a matter of fact, it contradicts the context
– as the fruitless branch will not be lifted up
as Joseph Prince falsely teaches
but cut off in John 15:2
and thrown into the fire and burned in John 15:6:
John 15:2,6 NIV
2 “He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.”
6 “If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.”
Many would be deceived by Joseph Prince
because half of what he said in the video about God helping us
when we are down,
such as the woman of Samaria or Jairus’ daughter,
is true.
They may be true only in their individual contexts
but not in the particular context of John 15:1-6.
What Joseph Prince has dishonestly done
is that he is reading what is true in other contexts
into the passage of John 15:1-6, and John 15:2 in particular.
He is deceptively using examples
that may be relevant in other contexts,
but irrelevant to the context of John 15:1-6.
Jesus in John 15:2 clearly says that the branch
that does not bear fruit will be cut off by Father God.
But Joseph Prince has the audacity to twist Christ’s words
and the interpretation of John 15:2
into something totally different
from what is intended by John, the writer,
and Christ the Vine.
That’s the modus operandi of Joseph Prince
– by reading into texts, twisting texts,
interpreting a passage out of context
– and that’s why anything can be proven by him.
“Going by Joseph Prince’s frivolous approach to Bible interpretation of interpreting a passage out of context, reading into texts and twisting texts, literally anything can be proven by him – even a dog can be proven to be a cat.” (George Ong)
Any teacher such as Joseph Prince,
who consistently, frequently and blatantly
interprets a passage out of context,
reads into texts and twists texts,
would straightaway be recognised
by any Bible teacher worth his salt,
as a heretic.
But why have Bishop Philip Lim and NCCS
continued ‘to act like an ostrich and put their heads in the sand’
and pretend they are aren’t aware
that Joseph Prince has been blatantly twisting the scriptures,
and particularly, the words of the Lord Jesus,
who is God Himself?
Don’t ever let Joseph Prince deceive you
with his knowledge of Greek.
I’ve discovered that that is his usual ploy
by alluding to something
which most people are unfamiliar with.
To ‘lift up’ is just one possible way
to translate the Greek word, ‘airo’.
Joseph Prince is giving you the false impression
that that is the only way ‘airo’ should be translated.
But according to Strong’s Concordance
and Thayer’s Greek Lexicon,
there are many other possible ways
to translate the word, ‘airo’
that Joseph Prince has deliberately hidden from you.
Some of the other possible meanings of ‘airo’ are:
To take off or take away what is attached to anything.
To remove.
To take away from another what is his or what is committed to him, to take by force.
To take from among the living either by natural death, or by violence.
To cause to cease.
Did Joseph Prince tell you what I just told you?
Of course not!
He doesn’t want you to know
there are many other possible ways
of translating the Greek word, ‘airo’.
By not letting you know about such information,
he wants you to be deceived
that ‘lifts up’ is the only way of translating ‘airo’.
This is the deceptive trademark of Joseph Prince
– just showing you one side of the truth
while hiding the other side of it from you.
And here in John 15:2,
he is employing the same trick as an unrepentant trickster
– by showing you just one possible meaning of ‘airo’
which means ‘lifts up’
but shielding you from the many other possible meanings to it.
The proper way is after listing all the possible ways
in which the word ‘airo’ could be translated,
the next step is to see which one out of the many
should be chosen that does fit into the context
of a given verse or passage.
Considering the passage in context,
the NKJV, then decides that the right word
to be translated for ‘airo’
is ‘takes away’.
John 15:2 NKJV
2 “Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away (airo); and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit.”
NKJV would probably have considered the words ‘lifts up’
which Joseph Prince mentioned.
But it didn’t decide on that word
as it must have felt, and rightly so,
that ‘lifts up’ is totally out of place
in the context of John 15:1-6,
and ‘takes away’ ought to be the right rendering.
So, NKJV eliminated the words ‘lifts up’
that Joseph Prince falsely claimed
ought to be how ‘airo’ should be translated.
Joseph Prince emphatically disagreed with NKJV
when he said in the video,
“It is not take away.
It is – lifts you up.”
Joseph Prince not only disagreed with NKJV,
but he also disagreed with 57 other translations
that I have personally combed through.
I have checked 58 translations, including NKJV,
and I’ve found that none of them
translates the Greek word, ‘airo’ as ‘lifts up’,
the view that Joseph Prince asserts:
28 translate ‘airo’ as ‘takes away’:
KJ21, AMP, ASV, BRG, DARBY, DLNT, DRA, ESV, ESVUK, GNV, Jubilee, KJV, AKJV, MEV, NABRE, NASB, NET, NKJV, NLV, NMB, OJB, RSV, RSVCE, TLV, WEB, WE, WYC, YLT.
17 translate ‘airo’ as ‘cuts off’ or ‘cuts away’:
AMPC, CJB, CEV, ERV, EHV, EXB, ICB, ISV, MSG, MOUNCE, NCV, NIRV, NIV, NIVUK, NLT, NTE, VOICE.
11 translate ‘airo’ as ‘removes’:
CSB, CEB, GW, HCSB, Phillips, LEB, NOG, NRSV, NRSVA, NRSVACE, NRSVCE.
One translates ‘airo’ as ‘breaks off’: GNT.
The last translates ‘airo’ as ‘lops off’: TLB.
While about half, 28 of the 58 translations
have chosen ‘takes away’ the same words used in NKJV,
the other half have settled on equivalent words
such as: ‘cuts off’ or ‘cuts away’ or ‘removes’,
or ‘breaks off’ or ‘lops off’,
which is just as close to the meaning of the words,
‘takes away’ as chosen by NKJV.
So Joseph Prince is the only one who tries to push the view
that ‘airo’ should be translated as ‘lifts up’.
Do you know what he is saying?
Joseph Prince is saying that not only NKJV,
but all the other 57 translations of the Bible are dead wrong
for not translating it as ‘lifts up’.
Joseph Prince is effectively saying
that all the hundreds of Bible scholars
who work behind all these 58 translations
have wrongly translated the word, ‘airo’
and he’s the only one who has it right.
How presumptuous and arrogant of him to think that way!
Think with me
– for Joseph Prince to disagree with 58 translations
and the hundreds of Bible scholars
who are responsible for these translations,
it is either he is the brainiest theologian
or the most brilliant trickster.
He is indeed the most brilliant trickster
who has grown his church to a mega level,
and the great following he has amassed
from around the world,
even though he is dishing out theological rubbish to them.
Why is Joseph Prince posturing that the word, ‘airo’
should be translated as ‘lifts up’
that none of these 58 translations has banked on?
It is simply to protect his false grace theology
from being exposed.
If Joseph Prince accepts that ‘airo’ is to be translated
as ‘takes away’ or ‘cuts off’ or ‘cuts away’ or ‘removes’,
he would then have to explain why a branch,
which refers to a believer,
who is attached to the vine
that doesn’t produce fruit can be taken away or cut off
by Father God from the vine which represents Christ Himself.
This would place his
‘you are forever saved or righteous
and your salvation can never be lost’
doctrine in serious jeopardy.
I have studied Joseph Prince, his personality, his strategy
and his heresy enough to come to these conclusions:
– Joseph Prince is driven primarily by the fact that his grace theology has to be protected at all costs rather than the sincerity to accurately interpret a given passage for the benefit of the audience.
– The real passion and motivation that drives Joseph Prince is not Christ Jesus but his grace theology, which has become his god.
– The ‘Grace of God’, not the ‘God of Grace’ is the real master and driving force behind every of Joseph Prince’s impulses and actions.
Finally, one significant thing
that Joseph Prince deliberately leaves out
and keeps away from the audience
is John 15:6,
because he is well aware
that it would contradict his choice of the word ‘lifts up’
as it wouldn’t fit into John 15:6 at all:
John 15:6 NKJV
6 “If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.”
John 15:6 clearly states the branch
that was described by Joseph Prince
as being ‘lifted up’ by Christ in John 15:2
would end up in the fires of judgement.
How can something that is valued by Jesus
because He ‘lifts up’ in John 15:2,
as postured by Joseph Prince
end up in the fires of judgement in John 15:6?
From that angle, Joseph Prince’s view
that ‘airo’ should be translated as ‘lifts up’
is totally out of place
and out of context in John 15:1-6.
But the greater indictment against Joseph Prince
is his unholy daringness
to twist the words of the Lord Jesus Christ,
who is God, yet again,
this time in John 15:2
just so that his Grace Theology
can be protected from being exposed.
“After meticulously studying how Joseph Prince frequently, consistently and blatantly interprets a passage out of context, reads into texts and twists texts to deceive – that he is 100% a heretic is the only sound conclusion I can make.” (George Ong)
This is yet another proof I have shown
that Joseph Prince is a heretic.
Besides the proof of the scriptures,
there is no Church Father, or Bible scholar,
or Bible commentator,
worth their salt,
who would interpret ‘airo’ in John 15:2
as ‘lifts up’ instead of ‘takes away’.
But why did Bishop Philip Lim and NCCS
chose to turn a blind eye again and again
to such unmistakable proofs
that Joseph Prince is a heretic?
Because of self-preservation.
The selfish presupposition of Bishop Philip Lim and NCCS
is that since the NCCS of yesteryears
didn’t wish to see Joseph Prince as a heretic,
they too, for institutional self-preservation,
must follow suit and continue to maintain the lie
that Joseph Prince isn’t a heretic.
They are too afraid of the wrath of their predecessors,
who may come down hard on them,
if they were to take a different path.
But at what expense?
At the expense of signalling to Joseph Prince
and the Church in Singapore and the world
that the heresies that Joseph Prince preaches
is acceptable to Christian Orthodoxy.
This would certainly give legitimacy and credibility
to Joseph Prince’s message,
and in the days to come, his influence will grow even more,
and more and more of the sheep
especially in Singapore and the world
would be deceived and led to their eternal ruin.
Instead of warning the sheep about the wolf and heretic,
Joseph Prince, and exposing and expelling him,
Bishop Philip Lim and NCCS
have continued to harbour and protect him
under the umbrella of NCCS,
for him to continue to deceive the sheep
and lead them to the Lake of Fire.
This is an utterly shameful and abominable development
for the Singapore Church
– that instead of acting against the heretic, Joseph Prince,
the top leadership of the Singapore Church
is silently colluding with the wolf
by allowing Joseph Prince to operate unhindered
under NCCS umbrella
to destroy their own sheep.
In conclusion, Joseph Prince is only interested
to present his own version of Jesus
– a sentimental Jesus who only comes to lift you up.
But his Grace Theology has no place for the stern Jesus
who can cut you down
and throw you into the fires of judgement.
Joseph Prince is basically presenting a half-truth, a half-Jesus.
Believing a half-truth or a half-Jesus
is more detrimental than believing a whole lie
because it gives people the impression
that they are worshipping the real Jesus of the Bible
when it is the counterfeit Jesus
that Joseph Prince has concocted out of his own imagination
that they are really worshipping
that would lead them to destruction.
Despite the fact that Joseph Prince’s teachings
– that the presentation of a counterfeit Jesus
would lead people to their destruction,
Bishop Philip Lim and NCCS have chosen not to act.
This proves that they have sinned against God
for not doing the right thing:
James 4:17 ESV
17 So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.
Rev George Ong
