Part 3: Joseph Prince’s teaching that poverty is cursed and poverty is evil was never taught by Jesus, Paul & the New Testament scriptures; hence, Joseph Prince must apologise to every poor believer around the world, especially the Third World for mocking and insulting them as he is saying that everything is wrong about being poor because poverty is cursed and poverty is evil

George Ong’s Second Response
to Elder David Ng Tah Wee’s Comment
on NCCS Constitution Article 3(i)
Elder David Ng Tah Wee said:
Please click here to view the video:
a) NCCS Constitution Article 3(i) states
that the Council is founded
“on a common belief that God has revealed
His eternal purpose
for mankind in His Son, Jesus Christ,
through the Holy Spirit,
that (in bold, green)
the scriptures in the Old and New Testaments
are the supreme standard of Christian faith
and practice…” (end of bold, green)
Yet Joseph Prince teaches that the Old Testament
and most part of the 4 gospels
(up to the point of Jesus’ crucifixion)
are no longer applicable to us as new covenant believers.
This goes against the Constitution
as the bold portion (in green) above says
that the scriptures in the Old and New Testaments
are the supreme standard of Christian faith and practice.
If NCC does not subscribe to this
(as preached by Joseph Prince),
NCC does not have a common belief
required under the Constitution.
What Elder David Ng Tah Wee said that
Joseph Prince’s teaching goes against
the NCCS Constitution Article 3(i)
is so easily proven by Prince’s own teachings.
In ‘Unmerited Favor’, Joseph Prince wrote:
“However, the new covenant does not actually begin
with the four Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
as these books deal predominantly
with the life of Jesus before the cross.
In fact, the new covenant begins
after the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Hence, the cross is our clearest marking point
of where the new covenant begins.”
In ‘Grace Revolution’, Joseph Prince wrote,
“You can’t simply take something
that was recorded and spoken
during the dispensation of the law of the old covenant,
and apply it to new covenant believers today.
Likewise, you cannot take what was recorded and spoken
before the cross of Jesus
and apply it to new covenant believers today.”
In ‘Destined To Reign’, Joseph Prince wrote,
“The new covenant only begins after the cross,
when the Holy Spirit was given on the day of Pentecost.”
If the New Covenant only begins after the cross,
as Joseph Prince had written,
this means that the Old Testament and most of the gospels
are not applicable to New Covenant believers,
which goes against the NCCS Constitution Article 3(i)
that the scriptures in the Old and New Testaments
are the supreme standard of Christian faith and practice.
Since Joseph Prince, who propagate such teachings
through his New Creation Church,
go against the NCCS Constitution,
why is New Creation Church still part of NCCS?
Why is NCCS adamantly silent about this
when we first brought this issue up since 2021
in our first batch of Open Letters to them?
NCCS has been consistently using their Constitution
to defend their inaction about the Joseph Prince issue.
But ironically,
when they themselves “contravene” their own Constitution,
they seem to give the impression
that they have the automatic right
of not dealing with it.
Since this involves the NCCS Constitution,
and since NCCS is aware that since 2021,
Joseph Prince’s New Creation Church
has contravened the NCCS Constitution,
NCCS is more than obligated
to give a reply to the Christian public
why NCCS had not acted
against Joseph Prince’s New Creation Church.
And since we have now specifically highlighted
that New Creation Church’s teachings
go against NCCS Constitution,
what is NCCS going to do
about New Creation Church’s membership now?
Important Announcement No 1:
Seminar on Joseph Prince’s Teachings by George Ong:
Dates of Seminar:
28 Feb 2026 (Saturday) & 7 Mar 2026 (Saturday)
(Participants to choose one of the dates)
Duration:
9 am to 2 pm
Venue:
Near Tai Seng MRT Station.
Address will be made known
to those who register for the seminar.
Registration:
Open from today
Closing date on 8 Feb 2026
Limited Seats Available
PLEASE CLICK HERE TO REGISTER.
As an act of grace,
I wouldn’t want any participant to pay any fee.
Admission is free.
Coffee and snacks are also with my compliments.
To discourage people from registering for the seminar
because it’s free and not turning up,
thereby depriving others of a seat
and also leading to the wastage of food,
all participants are required
to pay a fee of $30 upon registration.
However, the fee of $30
will be refunded to the participants
only when they turned up for the seminar,
and if they come punctually at 9 am.
Only a five-minute grace will be given.
But note that the same free offer may or may not apply
for future seminars other than these two.
No walk-ins are allowed,
and strictly, no admission to those who did not register.
Registration is non-transferable.
The purpose of this seminar on 28 Feb & 7 Mar 2026
is for me to prove
that Joseph Prince is a false teacher and a heretic.
Specifically, Joseph Prince teaches against
the holy scriptures (particularly, sanctification),
the Lord Jesus Christ, Orthodox Faith
and plenty of the Church Fathers,
including Martin Luther, John Calvin, John Wesley,
Charles Spurgeon, Martyn Lloyd-Jones, John Stott, etc.
This is not a seminar about every false teaching
on the face of the planet,
but one that is focused on the teachings of Joseph Prince.
If you cannot flow with the aim of this seminar,
or you have already made up your mind
that Joseph Prince is not a heretic,
and that Joseph Prince is doctrinally right,
please don’t register for the seminar
as you are not only wasting your time,
but you are also wasting my time.
But for those who are really open (genuinely, genuinely open)
to consider my point of view, you are most welcome.
This includes members of New Creation Church,
and Pastors, Elders, Leaders and members of other Churches.
No disturbance to the seminar will be tolerated.
And persons who are found
to be disturbing the peace of the seminar
will be asked to leave the seminar, immediately,
failing which, further security measures will be taken.
This is to protect the peace of the majority,
who are honest seekers of the truth
from having a positive learning experience.
During the Q & A session,
either I or an appointed person
will decide when the questioner should sit down
after he or she has asked the question.
No one will be allowed to hog the mic.
I don’t pretend to be a ‘Mr Know-all”,
or a resident expert on the subject,
and that I can answer every question posed to me.
But for questions I can’t answer,
or they may be too laborious to answer
in the short time that we have,
I will certainly follow up with my answers to the questioner,
and those who attend the seminar
after the event.
No recording of the seminar by any participants (even mobile)
will be allowed.
Session will be recorded for my own purposes,
but it will not be made available wholesale to the public.
I, as the seminar speaker and event initiator,
reserves the right to accept or reject any would-be applicant
with or without any explanation.

Originated & Prepared by George Ong
Part 1: Elder David Ng Tah Wee’s Response to the National Council of Churches of Singapore (NCCS) 20-Point Letter, signed by Bishop Philip Lim, the President of NCCS, and sent to all member churches under NCCS
Elder David Ng Tah Wee said:
Please click here to view the video:
Response to NCCS’ Official Statement
We refer to the statement by the National Council of Churches
of Singapore (“NCCS”) entitled
“Official Statement in response to an open letter
to NCCS” (“Official Statement”),
which is an attachment to a cover letter dated 27 October 2025.
However, there were more than one open letter written to NCCS
during this period we are talking about.
And yet NCCS chose to respond only to the letter
written by Elder David Ng Tah Wee (“Letter”),
without giving any reason why.
Anyway, we would respond accordingly to certain points
in the Official Statement as follows,
the numbers being the points in the Official Statement:
7 NCCS considers Elder David Ng’s open letter as an individual Christian complaining about another Christian, who happens to be a pastor.
Our Response
By choosing to respond only to Elder David Ng’s letter,
despite other letters written to NCCS
and also all that have been done on this matter to-date,
NCCS failed to appreciate
what this whole matter is all about,
and was, therefore, wrong in its consideration
that the Letter was an individual Christian
complaining about another Christian.
I would like to qualify this term “another Christian”
as you would need to come to your own conclusion
if Joseph Prince is to be considered another Christian.
This whole matter, including the Letter,
is about a group of Christians
exposing the heresies of Joseph Prince,
and asking/reminding NCCS to do
what it is constitutionally bound to do.
This is not one Christian complaining about another Christian.
8 The Council also finds that the ‘Statement of Faith’ of New Creation Church, posted on its website, to be compliant with the Basis of Association of NCCS, of which the church is a member.
Our Response
It is very strange and sloppy for the Council to simply state
that it finds the “Statement of Faith”
in New Creation Church’s (“NCC”) website
to be compliant with the Basis of Association of NCCS.
Stating a Statement of Faith in the website is one thing,
but the actual theology preached can be quite a different thing.
Has the Council considered whether what is stated in the website
is indeed the theology preached, especially in view
that there are many objections that this is not the case?
Has the Council considered whether the preaching of NCC,
particularly Joseph Prince,
to be compliant with the Basis of Association of NCCS
before making such a statement?
Please do some due diligence
before making such a statement.
9 It bears repeating that NCCS is a fellowship of churches. It is not an ecclesiastical court or disciplinary body with authority over its member churches and pastors. However, it may exercise an advisory or consultative role, when requested to do so.
Our Response
We are precisely requesting NCCS
to exercise its advisory/consultative role in this matter.
And as the objections are now public,
any exercise of such advisory/consultative role
should also be made public.
10 Article 4 (i) of the NCCS constitution lists its objective as: “To offer itself as an instrument or agency to the Churches and other Christian organisations in Singapore whereby they can cooperate and serve together, except what irreconcilable differences of sincere conviction compel them to do separately”.
11 The NCCS constitution recognises that Council members may have “irreconcilable differences” with each other, and these include theological and doctrinal differences. Such “irreconcilable differences”, if any, should not be seen as necessarily heretical.
Our Response to (10) and (11)
No one is trying to make a point
that “irreconcilable differences”
in the form of theological and doctrinal differences
are necessarily heretical.
But specific examples cited in the Letter,
not to mention other examples
given in Rev George Ong’s website,
clearly showed that Joseph Prince’s teaching is heretical.
This was the point we were trying to make.
This means the teachings of Joseph Prince
are not just irreconcilable differences.
They are fundamental differences.
The question we then asked was,
with these fundamental, irreconcilable differences,
we wonder how the Council can cooperate
and serve together with NCC,
as required by the NCCS Constitution.
NCCS did not address this.
Besides Article 4 (i), there were 2 other Articles
brought up in the Letter but were not addressed.
The two Articles
and our questions in the Letter
are set out below for easy reference:
a) NCCS Constitution Article 3(i) states
that the Council is founded
“on a common belief that God has revealed
His eternal purpose
for mankind in His Son, Jesus Christ,
through the Holy Spirit,
that (in bold, green)
the scriptures in the Old and New Testaments
are the supreme standard of Christian faith
and practice…” (end of bold, green)
Yet Joseph Prince teaches that the Old Testament
and most part of the 4 gospels
(up to the point of Jesus’ crucifixion)
are no longer applicable to us as new covenant believers.
This goes against the Constitution
as the bold portion (in green) above says
that the scriptures in the Old and New Testaments
are the supreme standard of Christian faith and practice.
If NCC does not subscribe to this
(as preached by Joseph Prince),
NCC does not have a common belief
required under the Constitution.
b) I would also like to state that NCCS has a duty to act,
according to Article 4(iv) of the Constitution.
This Article says that one of the objects of the Council is
“through mutual consultation and action
to form Christian ethos and to bring it to bear
on the moral, social, national, and international issues of the day,
particularly those which may affect the life and welfare
of the people of Singapore.”
I want to say that in forming Christian ethos,
NCCS has the duty to call out anything
that contradicts the Christian ethos,
especially if it comes from within
the supposedly Christian circle,
which makes it even more dangerous.
Joseph Prince’s heretic teachings
certainly contradict our Christian ethos.
NCCS has a duty to call them out, especially as,
what the Article says, they may affect
the life and welfare of the people of Singapore.
Heretic teachings will certainly affect the lives
of the people of Singapore.
Can the Council please state its response to the above points
(a) and (b)?
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.
Our Response to (15) to (17)
We are very surprised to note that Joseph Prince said
that he welcomed the authors of the open letters
to engage him directly on their complaint against him.
And NCC has indicated that none of the authors
of the 2021 open letters responded to the invitation
to engage Joseph Prince directly.
We certainly did not receive such invitation.
Can Joseph Prince produce proof
that such an invitation was given?
Surely there must be evidence of such invitation.
We would certainly have accepted the invitation
if it had been given.
Even now, we would accept such invitation
if Joseph Prince were to issue it.
But for the meeting to be fruitful,
it should and must involve
members of the General Committee of NCCS
so that we have neutral parties present.
We are also very surprised that the Council
just based on what Joseph Prince said,
that an invitation was sent
and we did not respond to the invitation,
to state its point.
Wouldn’t it strike the Council as strange
that we would not want to accept such invitation?
A simple question to us on the reason why
we did not want to accept the invitation
would have disclosed that such invitation was not given.
Shouldn’t the Council have verified such statement
before accepting it as factual?
Even in a secular setting,
such verification would have been sought.
We are sure the Bereans would have done such check.
Yet the Council failed to do so.
This is clearly another example of the Council’s sloppiness.
18 Going forward, NCCS requests the assistance of the leadership of the True Way Presbyterian Church or the Synod of the Presbyterian Church in Singapore to advise and guide Elder David Ng on the appropriate way to resolve his complaint against Pastor Joseph Prince.
Our Response
Elder David Ng, and a number of the team members,
has been a believer and has served in church leadership
for many years, and certainly knows the biblical way
to resolve complaints.
However, as pointed out in Point 7 above,
this is not a complaint.
It is an exposure of heresies.
Elder David Ng and members of the team
are exposing heresies.
And we certainly do not have any problem
to engage with any church leadership
or denominational leadership,
and are confident that we will be able
to help them understand
why we have to take this route
as we expose the heresies of Joseph Prince.
19 The Council is saddened by the ongoing complaints by a group of Christians who do not officially represent the leadership of their churches or denominations, and who in their personal capacities have brought acrimony and discord to the Christian community in Singapore.
Our Response
We are very disappointed and disturbed
that the Council made
such inappropriate and serious statement
without any clear justification.
Firstly, can the Council show where in the bible is it stated
that exposure of heresies must be done through church
or denominational leadership?
That individual or a group of Christians
have no right to expose heresies?
Secondly, can the Council state very clearly
whether Joseph Prince’s teaching is heretical,
which is the fundamental basis of our objections,
addressing in particular the two examples stated in the Letter,
before stating the point that acrimony and discord
have been brought to the Christian community in Singapore?
A statement was made in the Letter,
“If you think otherwise, please let us know
and we can certainly dialogue further.
We stand to be corrected
if you can show evidences that we are wrong.”
This was not addressed by the Council
and yet the concluding point made was
that we have brought acrimony and discord
to the Church community in Singapore.
We absolutely reject this conclusion.
An invitation to engage and a request to state a stand
on this issue were also given in the Letter.
I said,
“I and my co-labourers will certainly be most happy
to meet up with you, to discuss and dialogue further
if you so desire.
But please, do give your response
so that we know where NCCS stands on this issue.”
Yet there was no response for any discussion
and dialogue with the Council.
The Council also did not state their stand
on the fundamental issue
of whether Joseph Prince’s preaching is heretical,
apart from responding to all these peripheral issues
in its Official Statement.
Without making a stand, NCCS was basing its conclusion
that we are bringing acrimony and discord
to the Church community in Singapore,
solely on its unspecified (perhaps even baseless) belief
that we are wrong in our allegation.
We believe this is not the right way
to address fundamental issues.
The Council should make clear its stand on the issue
before stating its conclusion.
Because if we are right
and Joseph Prince’s teachings are indeed heresies,
are we still bringing acrimony and discord
to the Church community in Singapore?
Without making a stand,
it is not right for the Council to come to this conclusion.
Therefore, the stand whether Joseph Prince’s teachings
are heretical is the fundamental issue at hand.
NCCS, please state your stand
before coming to your conclusion.
In its Official Statement,
the Council only chose to respond to certain points
raised in the Letter.
As there were other pertinent points raised,
it is improper for the Council to respond only to certain points.
This will leave the readers/viewers wondering
what the Council’s responses are to those points
not addressed.
This is yet another sloppy example
of the Council’s handling of this matter.
Can the Council please be complete in its Official Statement
to the Letter?
Please address all the points raised.
I am sure this is a very reasonable request.
George Ong’s First Response
to Elder David Ng Tah Wee’s Comment
on 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.
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.
George Ong’s Second Response
to Elder David Ng Tah Wee’s Comment
on NCCS Constitution Article 3(i)
Elder David Ng Tah Wee said:
Please click here to view the video:
a) NCCS Constitution Article 3(i) states
that the Council is founded
“on a common belief that God has revealed
His eternal purpose
for mankind in His Son, Jesus Christ,
through the Holy Spirit,
that (in bold, green)
the scriptures in the Old and New Testaments
are the supreme standard of Christian faith
and practice…” (end of bold, green)
Yet Joseph Prince teaches that the Old Testament
and most part of the 4 gospels
(up to the point of Jesus’ crucifixion)
are no longer applicable to us as new covenant believers.
This goes against the Constitution
as the bold portion (in green) above says
that the scriptures in the Old and New Testaments
are the supreme standard of Christian faith and practice.
If NCC does not subscribe to this
(as preached by Joseph Prince),
NCC does not have a common belief
required under the Constitution.
What Elder David Ng Tah Wee said that
Joseph Prince’s teaching goes against
the NCCS Constitution Article 3(i)
is so easily proven by Prince’s own teachings.
In ‘Unmerited Favor’, Joseph Prince wrote:
“However, the new covenant does not actually begin
with the four Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
as these books deal predominantly
with the life of Jesus before the cross.
In fact, the new covenant begins
after the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Hence, the cross is our clearest marking point
of where the new covenant begins.”
In ‘Grace Revolution’, Joseph Prince wrote,
“You can’t simply take something
that was recorded and spoken
during the dispensation of the law of the old covenant,
and apply it to new covenant believers today.
Likewise, you cannot take what was recorded and spoken
before the cross of Jesus
and apply it to new covenant believers today.”
In ‘Destined To Reign’, Joseph Prince wrote,
“The new covenant only begins after the cross,
when the Holy Spirit was given on the day of Pentecost.”
If the New Covenant only begins after the cross,
as Joseph Prince had written,
this means that the Old Testament and most of the gospels
are not applicable to New Covenant believers,
which goes against the NCCS Constitution Article 3(i)
that the scriptures in the Old and New Testaments
are the supreme standard of Christian faith and practice.
Since Joseph Prince, who propagate such teachings
through his New Creation Church,
go against the NCCS Constitution,
why is New Creation Church still part of NCCS?
Why is NCCS adamantly silent about this
when we first brought this issue up since 2021
in our first batch of Open Letters to them?
NCCS has been consistently using their Constitution
to defend their inaction about the Joseph Prince issue.
But ironically,
when they themselves “contravene” their own Constitution,
they seem to give the impression
that they have the automatic right
of not dealing with it.
Since this involves the NCCS Constitution,
and since NCCS is aware that since 2021,
Joseph Prince’s New Creation Church
has contravened the NCCS Constitution,
NCCS is more than obligated
to give a reply to the Christian public
why NCCS had not acted
against Joseph Prince’s New Creation Church.
And since we have now specifically highlighted
that New Creation Church’s teachings
go against NCCS Constitution,
what is NCCS going to do
about New Creation Church’s membership now?
Part 2: Hebrews Part 2: Introduction to the Book of Hebrews (Point 5 & 6) by George Ong
In my last article dated 13 Jan 2026, under
“Introduction to Hebrews,” I covered the following:
1. The Person
2. The Period
3. The People
4. The Purpose
In this article, under the same “Introduction to Hebrews,”
I will cover the following:
5. The Perplexities
a. Structure
b. Shadows
c. Sacrifice
d. Salvation
6. The Pattern
a. Exposition & Argument
b. Exhortation & Appeal
In a teaching session, George Ong said:

kindly use your iPad or Laptop to listen.)
5. The Perplexities
Now, the perplexities. The perplexities.
Now, some of you look a little perplexed.
The perplexities.
Now, I’m sure for those who read the Book of Hebrews,
you may confound one perplexity after another.
Why is this so? Why?
Because the Book of Hebrews is not an easy book.
I’m sure most of you would agree with me.
Can I have a show of hands how many of you,
the Book of Hebrews is your favourite book?
How many of you? Can I see your hands?
It’s your favourite book.
Then why are you here?
No, no, there are some of you.
Oh, thank you. You can put your hands.
Don’t worry, it’s not so serious.
I won’t ask you to come to the altar.
It’s nothing of that sort.
One of the reasons why it is not a popular book,
simple reason, it’s a difficult book.
In fact, some people say it’s the most difficult book
in the New Testament besides the Book of Revelation.
It’s an intimidating book.
And I want to tell, I don’t know about you,
when I read it, it intimidates me.
You know, when your pastor, your committee
asked me to take on this session of Hebrews,
after counting the cost, normally I don’t,
when I know that I can deliver, not deliver babies, right?
When I can deliver, I will take it.
If I can’t, I won’t.
But after taking it, I sort of regretted
because I do not know whether I can make it.
I mean, reading the Book is one thing,
but coming out,
teaching the class of Hebrews is quite another.
I nearly gave up.
I want to be honest with you.
I nearly gave up.
I nearly picked up the phone and call, you know,
and say, sorry, I didn’t count the cost.
Can I back out now?
But I’m glad I didn’t.
And I persevered on, praise God,
because the Book of Hebrews is about persevering.
And thank the Lord. He has helped me, at least,
to come up with something that would benefit you.
So Hebrews is an intimidating book
because it stretches your mind.
It’s full of difficulties and perplexities.
And here’s some of them.
a. Structure
First, structure, structure.
Now, the Book of Hebrews has a complex structure
because it’s not easy to piece the individual parts,
individual strands, individual piece of arguments,
and put them into one cohesive and united structure.
For example, when you go through the 12 chapters,
and I hope you read through the Book of Hebrews,
because it’s very hard if you don’t read.
You don’t quite understand me.
If you haven’t, don’t worry, it’s not a sin.
Just after this session,
read through the whole Book of Hebrews.
Then you will understand what I’m saying,
or else, it’s very difficult for you to catch.
Okay, so, for example, why is it difficult?
After you have gone through
the first 12 chapters of Hebrews,
and then when you come to chapter 13,
you scratch your head, and you wonder,
how do I fit chapter 13 into the entire Book of Hebrews?
Because chapter 13, it seems to me,
is like nothing more than
a string of unrelated exhortations.
How on earth is chapter 13
to be fitted into the whole structure of the Book?
Well, you wanna find out? Come for the last session.
Ingenious marketing, no, that’s not just.
Now, to help you, help you understand the structure,
I tell you, I sweat like crazy. I’m serious, I sweat like crazy.
I put in my heart, and most of the things I do,
all the things I do, I put in my heart, soul, effort,
everything in it, and especially teaching a book,
it’s not easy.
Well, I’m actually more of a preacher.
You hear me preaching, you will hear a lot of jokes,
you will hear a lot of stories, but this is not preaching.
This is a teaching, so it’s not that easy,
but the Lord helped me.
I have come up with a structure.
Hopefully, that will help you understand it better.
Okay, without a structure,
it’s very difficult to try and piece the difficulties.
b. Shadows
Number two, shadows, shadow.
I’m not talking about shadow boxing, alright?
What I’m talking about, you see,
there are many Old Testament imagery
that is lavishly used in the Book,
and these are what we call the Old Testament shadows,
which foreshadows the New Testament substance
that has come in Jesus Christ.
Well, we are familiar with the New Testament,
the New Testament fulfillment,
the New Testament substance in Christ,
but we are not too familiar with the shadows
of the Judaistic religion.
For example, shadows such as the physical tabernacle.
I mean, how do we make sense of that?
Shadows, for example, the strange name of Melchizedek.
Who is this person, you know, in chapter seven?
I can’t quite figure it out.
And because we are not so familiar
with Old Testament shadows,
as we are familiar with the New,
becomes a problem to us, right?
Don’t worry, we’ll work that through.
c. Sacrifice
Number three, c, sacrifice, sacrifice.
Now, the third reason
that it is a little bit hard to understand
because we are dealing with the unfamiliar ideas
in the Book.
We are dealing with ideas
that we are not too accustomed to.
For example, the Hebrew idea of blood sacrifice,
which is also a practice among the pagan religions,
and many tribal societies today
still practice this blood sacrifice, animal sacrifice.
But in those days, animal sacrifice
was a vital part of the religion,
and only it was because of Christ who died for us
that we don’t have to do it now.
But, you know, blood sacrifice, blood offering
is part and parcel, you know.
In fact, it’s one, it’s the central part of their worship,
you know, the sacrifice.
Of course, we don’t have to do that now.
Physical animal sacrifice.
And so the Judaistic religion is a very bloody business
because they have to slaughter daily,
you know, hundreds,
I don’t know how many bulls, how many goats,
and it is a strange world, alright?
Because we are not used to such an idea, blood sacrifice,
we are even abhorred.
You know, some of us, including men,
will even faint at the sight of blood.
But I want to tell you,
you will never really understand the cross
unless you get back to this idea
that blood needed to be spilled
in order to get a sinner back to God.
And so that’s one of the practices we are not too familiar,
that’s why it becomes perplexing to us.
d. Salvation
Number four, d, salvation.
Fourth reason why perplexing
is because we have in Hebrews,
and in fact, in the whole of the Bible,
one of the most controversial issues, alright?
It has been controversial
since the start of the Christian Church,
and the passage is found in Hebrews chapter six,
verse four to six, in particular.
But if you read through the Hebrews,
actually, this issue is played out,
not just in these three verses,
but it’s played out in the whole Book of Hebrews.
And the issue is whether a Christian can lose his salvation.
Now, biblical scholars, great men, great minds
have disagreed over this issue,
and we’ll look at it in more detail as we come to it.
Okay, so don’t worry about it.
We will find answers to some of these perplexities
that I’ve just highlighted.
The Pattern
a. Exposition & Argument
b. Exhortation & Appeal
After going through the perplexities,
let’s move on to the pattern.
The pattern, exposition and argument,
exhortation and appeal, alright?
Now, some people say the Book of Hebrews,
the pattern of the Book can be divided into two parts.
The first part is from chapter 1 to 10.
Second part is from chapter 11 to 13.
Chapter 1 to 10 talks about the Superiority of Christ.
Chapter 11 to 13 talks about
the Perseverance of the Saints,
the fact, the response to faith.
Now, this is generally helpful, but I’m afraid
it’s an oversimplification, alright?
They say this because in Paul’s letter,
normally in the Romans, for example,
in the Book of Romans,
you have the first 11 chapters on exposition,
and then the last few chapters on exhortation.
It’s the same with the Book of Ephesians.
The first three chapters, expositions, argument,
the last three chapters of Ephesians, appeal, exhortation.
But Hebrews, I’m afraid it’s not exactly like that
because in the 13 chapters of Hebrews,
both doctrine and duty, both exposition and exhortation
are so interwoven together.
For example, the exposition on how the Son is superior
and the exhortation on the saints to persevere
is so meshed, is so interwoven in the 13 chapters
that it is very hard to distinguish in this neat way.
So what is the pattern of Hebrews?
Well, it’s very interesting.
The writer is constantly alternating,
the keyword is alternating
between exposition and exhortation.
He is constantly arguing and appealing.
And the proportion of argument and appeal changes
as we go through the letter.
For example, in chapter 1 and 2,
there is a long argument, long exposition,
but very short exhortation, short appeal.
But gradually, as you go through the Book of Hebrews,
as you go along,
you get shorter exposition and longer exhortation.
And you read and you read, and then you hit chapter 11.
And chapter 11 has very short exposition
on the definition of faith and very long exhortation
on the heroes of the Christian Faith.
And then when you hit chapter 12 and 13 of Hebrews,
you will find that it is basically exhortation.
So you get more exposition and less exhortation
in the beginning and less exposition
and more exhortation at the end.
So that’s why the earlier part of the Book of Hebrews
is tougher, first 10 chapters, tough meat
because we understand exhortation,
which is the last part,
better than we understand exposition.
Okay, but I’m sure you are here for meat.
You’re not here for milk.
So I’m sure you’ll plow with me, right?
So that’s the pattern of Hebrews.
Part 3: Joseph Prince’s teaching that poverty is cursed and poverty is evil was never taught by Jesus, Paul & the New Testament scriptures; hence, Joseph Prince must apologise to every poor believer around the world, especially the Third World for mocking and insulting them as he is saying that everything is wrong about being poor because poverty is cursed and poverty is evil
In a sermon on 18 Jan 2026, yesterday, Joseph Prince said:
Please click here to view the video:
“At least, at least, would you agree with me
that poverty is a curse?
Everywhere in the world that you see,
poverty is a curse.
Don’t tell me that poverty is not a curse.
Would you agree that poverty is a curse?”
In another sermon, Joseph Prince said:
Please click here to view the video:
How did poverty come?
Because of sin.
We called it the curse of poverty.
Throughout the Bible,
when God talk about the blessings
and the curses in Deuteronomy.
It says, the blessings say,
God will bless everything you set your hand unto. Amen.
And then the curse is always,
you bring a lot in from the harvest,
but it ends up little.
The locust will come and consume your harvest.
What’s the telling you?
Poverty is evil.
Poverty is a curse.
Poverty is evil.
Poverty is a curse.”
