With regards to my previous Article,
“Joseph Prince’s Holy Communion teaching
leads people to their deaths,”
Kristen Jane Lin, an Ex New Creation Church member
wrote to me in a WhatsApp message yesterday:
“Hi Rev George,
I really like your last article
about Joseph Prince’s teaching leads many to death;
it’s so true.
During the first months of the Covid-19 outbreak
in Singapore in 2020,
my ex-cell group in New Creation Church GenRev
(working young adults care groups)
met online regularly.
A sister in the cell group
and her entire family contracted the virus.
The whole cell group firmly believed
that it wouldn’t lead any of them to death,
and we kept on declaring healing,
which, according to Joseph Prince is already there;
it just takes time to MANIFEST.
And we kept on taking Holy Communion
for this sister and her entire family,
but eventually, things went for the worse
for this sister‘s father
and he died.
Another person who was an ardent follower of Joseph Prince
who contracted COVID-19 and died
was my father’s co-worker.
He was infected and died in 2021.
Yet another person (but not due to Covid-19)
was the late wife of a pastor/friend of my father.
She and her entire family
were (or maybe still are) ardent believers of the Hyper grace teaching
such as Joseph Prince‘s.
Yet another person
(and also not due to Covid-19 but rather another illness)
was my mother’s older sister’s late husband.
During the days leading to his death,
they kept on believing firmly and fully in his healing
under the absolute teaching of Joseph Prince
that the healing is already here
and all these lying symptoms and lying sickness
are ALREADY nailed to the cross of Jesus,
but he died.
I only mentioned four people
but I know many more deaths in New Creation Church
while believing wrongly about this.
It is indeed true
that Jesus has paid the price for our health,
and it’s true that he was nailed and scourged
and by His stripes, we are healed,
but manifesting healing in our bodies
is finally, God‘s prerogative.
This is what they cannot and will not believe.
They insist, just like Joseph Prince, their head, also insists.
Warm regards,
Kristen Jane Lin
George Ong’s comments:
By highlighting only the successful cases
and deliberately hiding all the ‘unsuccessful’ cases,
Joseph Prince has deceived many
that God will always heal.
Yes, God can heal,
but He does not always heal.
But whether one is healed or not,
let’s learn to rest in God’s sovereignty
as He knows what is best
and He has everything under control.

Article 1: Joseph Prince may make you vomit in his claim that he speaks for God – By Rev George Ong
In the sermon preached 3 days ago on 21 July 2024,
Joseph Prince said;
“I endeavour to preach as the oracles of God.
Oracles of God doesn’t mean
that every word must be from scripture like line upon line,
everything from scripture.
Yes, it must be based on the scriptures.
And I think I have a lot of scripture verses
down through the years,
I preach from a lot of scripture verses.
But speaking as the oracles of God
means you speak as if God is speaking through you.
And God will never deviate from the scriptures.”
Joseph Prince claimed that he has spoken the oracles of God,
and that
“means you speak as if God is speaking through you.”
Joseph Prince also said that whatever is spoken for God
“must be based on scriptures.”
as
“God will never deviate from the scriptures.”
Those who have closely followed the articles
written against Joseph Prince on this website
may feel like vomiting
as Joseph Prince, who claimed that he is speaking for God
had lied
because he had spoken against God
and against the scriptures.
This is been proven time and again on this website.
I want to give you concrete evidence
that Joseph Prince is a liar
and that he lied about facts in scripture,
and he also lied
that he is speaking the oracles of God,
meaning God is speaking to him and through him.
Although I have featured this before,
there will be those who may not have come across this.
Here is my evidence.
In a sermon, Joseph Prince said:
to view the 1-minute-45-second video:
“I believe I have a prophetic word from the Lord
for you, tonight.
It’s a prophetic word.
It is on the Benjamin generation.
You know, God put in my heart
before I came for this conference, that tonight
He wants me to share this prophetic word;
during a time of famine,
when God releases Benjamin before Joseph,
there’ll be bread in the land.
Of all the characters, of all the personalities in the Bible,
no one particular character typifies our Lord clearly
or more clearly than the person of Joseph.
When you look at Joseph and his brothers,
you find that he had 11 brothers.
But there’s only one
who shares the same mother with Joseph.
And that is, Benjamin.
The other 10 were born of bond women – slaves
– their mothers Bilha, Zilpha
and Leah were slave women.
So, the 10 brothers represent the law
– the 10 Commandments.
Joseph’s mother, Joseph and Benjamin’s mother was Rachel.
Rachel represents grace.
Those who persecute you, this generation,
if you are persecuted, these brothers,
they share the same heavenly father.
But they don’t share the same mother.
Their mother is law.
Our mother (Rachel) is grace.”
Joseph Prince is blatantly lying about facts in scripture,
and more seriously that God is speaking to him.
Joseph Prince said:
“The other 10, they were born of bond women – slaves
– their mothers Bilha, Zilpha
and Leah were slave women.”
But Leah was not a slave woman.
Joseph Prince is lying through his teeth.
Leah was the elder sister of Rachel and the first wife of Jacob.
Both Leah and Rachel were free women, not slaves.
Therefore, Leah was not a slave woman,
as Joseph Prince had falsely stated.
Leah had 6 sons.
Rachel had 2 sons: Joseph and Benjamin.
So, a total of 8 were free sons,
born of free women to Leah and Rachel, who were not slaves.
The two other wives of Jacob were Bilha and Zilpha,
who were both slave women.
Bilha and Zilpha had 2 sons each.
So, a total of 4 sons were born of the two slave women.
To recap, 8 free sons
and just 4 sons were born of slave women,
and not 2 free sons and 10 sons
who were born of slave women
as Joseph Prince has lied.
Joseph Prince has deceptively created this number, 10,
that refer to the sons born of slave women for a purpose
– to build a case for his grace doctrine and against the law,
the 10 Commandments.
Joseph Prince said,
“So, the 10 brothers represent the law
– the 10 Commandments.”
Now, you know his game plan
– 10 brothers representing 10 Commandments, the law
– neat and tidy, so he thought.
He chose these 10 brothers
and associated them with the 10 Commandments, the law
because he has falsely concluded all 10, instead of just 4,
were born to slave women.
In other words, Joseph Prince is using a falsehood; a lie
– 10 sons who were born to slave women,
to support his grace theology that speaks against God’s law
– the 10 Commandments.
Joseph Prince then unilaterally and arbitrarily declares
that the 10 brothers represent the Law, the 10 Commandments.
In my 57 years as a Christian,
I have never come across anyone
who advances the view
that the 10 brothers of Joseph and Benjamin
represent the 10 Commandments.
Joseph Prince is forcibly imposing his own meaning on the scriptures
for the sake of building a case for his grace theology.
There is no Bible scholar or commentator
that I know who holds the same view as Joseph Prince does.
How did he ever arrive at this strange and unheard-of analogy?
By what authority is his declaration based on?
By the authority of magic
– pulling a rabbit out of nowhere
– making a declaration out of thin air
– all for the agenda of building a case for his false grace theology!
Joseph Prince has the audacity
to change the word of God to create a heretical lie,
namely that God’s holy law, the 10 Commandments,
represent slavery and would bring you under bondage.
Joseph Prince said:
“Rachel represents grace.”
How Joseph Prince could relate Rachel with grace
will make every Bible scholar and teacher
scratch their heads with utter disbelief.
No Bible concordance ascribes the name of Rachel anywhere
close to the meaning of grace.
I’ve personally checked the following five sources:
Strong’s Concordance,
Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance,
NAS Exhaustive Concordance,
Englishman’s Concordance,
Thayer’s Greek Lexicon.
None of these authoritative sources
relate the name of Rachel with grace.
Joseph Prince is making a wild assumption
just to shore up his grace doctrine.
This is nothing but the ‘suka-suka’ (Malay word) theology of Joseph Prince
of just arbitrarily imposing meaning on a name
as long as it can suit and shore up his grace theology.
But even if Rachel means grace,
Joseph Prince is at no liberty to say
that the mother of Joseph and Benjamin is grace – as a doctrine.
If that is permissible,
what if Rachel means something else, like a failure?
It means that one could also use the same line of argument
as Joseph Prince did
to teach an opposing theology
that we mustn’t follow Joseph and Benjamin
as their mother is a failure
– so, stay away from Joseph and Benjamin
unless you wish to be a failure.
I hope you would begin to realise
the silliness that Joseph Prince could get us into
with his ‘suka-suka’ grace theology.
Furthermore, Joseph Prince said:
“I believe I have a prophetic word for you tonight.
It’s a prophetic word.
It’s on the Benjamin generation.
You know God put in my heart
before I came before this conference is that tonight
He wants me to share this prophetic word.”
Joseph Prince claimed
he has received a prophetic word from the Lord
and that God wanted him to share the prophetic word.
Let me ask you a question that even a child could answer.
Could God have given Joseph Prince a prophetic word,
when he went against facts of the scripture
and falsely declared that Leah was a slave woman
and that 10 were sons of slave women
when there were only 4?
Of course not!
Could God have given Joseph Prince a prophetic word
that speaks against His own word in the Bible?
No way!
Joseph Prince had told a lie that God had spoken to him
as God will never speak against the facts of His own written word
– when Joseph Prince lied that Leah was a slave woman
and that 10 sons were born to slave women.
Imagine, Joseph Prince has the audacity to even lie
about facts in the Bible,
all for his game plan of conning people
into accepting his grace teaching.
So, is it really the voice of God
that speaks the prophetic word to Joseph Prince?
Of course not.
If it is not God’s voice, then whose voice?
It’s the devil’s voice – period.
It’s the devil who has given Joseph Prince the power
to deceive the millions
even though much of what he is preaching
is stark heresy, bizzare doctrine and theological rubbish.
But Joseph Prince has the audacity to declare
that it was God who spoke to him,
and hence, he had used God’s name in vain.
This is the kind of man you are dealing with
who has no qualms flippantly invoking God’s name
just to further his own evil agenda
of promoting his Pseudo-grace theology.
This is not the first time he has done it
– about the God who spoke to me thing.
He has done it many times in his books and teachings.
Joseph Prince is effectively posturing a God who lies
as what God had supposedly told him to speak
is the lie that Leah was a slave woman
and that the 10 sons, instead of four,
were born to slave women.
To conclude, when I have revealed
such devastating and damaging evidence
against the character of Joseph Prince
as a person and his teachings,
the only conclusion one can come to
is that he is a heretic and a wolf in sheepskin.
Against such overwhelming evidence
that Joseph Prince had lied against the scriptures and God Himself,
and yet, Joseph Prince still has the audacity and shamelessness
to claim that he is speaking the oracles of God,
can really make one vomit.
Again, a crucial reminder
– this is not the first time he lied against the scriptures.
Joseph Prince had lied against Father God,
the Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit
many times, as proven on this website.
Finally, as an aside,
and for the sake of using Joseph Prince’s line of argument,
which lineage would represent grace more
– Rachel or Leah?
Joseph Prince would, of course, say it is Rachel
because she represents grace,
and he doesn’t even indicate by what authority
is he claiming that – his own authority?
I disagree.
I would say, going by Joseph Prince’s line of argument,
Leah would represent grace more,
as Leah is the mother of Judah (one of the six sons of Leah)
who is the ancestor of Jesus Christ,
the personification of grace (Jn 1:14, 16-17).
Did you catch that?
The ‘sin’ that Joseph Prince has committed
is when he said Leah was a slave (false),
meaning all her 6 children, including Judah,
who is the ancestor of Jesus,
were born of a slave woman.
And Joseph Prince further said that all ten brothers,
including Judah, the ancestor of Christ,
who is the personification of grace (Jn 1:14-16,17),
represent law and not grace.
Joseph Prince is effectively implying that Christ
(who descended from Judah who represents law),
represents only the law and not grace.
How can Christ, who personifies grace
not be representing grace?
You can’t get anything more bizarre than that!
Article 2: Joseph Prince’s endless double talks – this time on godly sorrow
In the sermon preached 3 days ago on 21 July 2024,
and touching on 2 Corinthians 7:10,
10 For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death,
Joseph Prince said;
“So, it’s a godly sorrow
that produces that change of mind (repentance).
The only sorrow that God allows you to have
is godly sorrow.”
But in another sermon, Joseph Prince said;
But godly sorrow is not repentance.
But godly sorrow is not repentance.
People are crying and people are sobbing
and hitting their breasts and say,
‘Jesus, Jesus.’”
One moment,
Joseph Prince approves of godly sorrow and said,
“So, it’s a godly sorrow
that produces that change of mind (repentance).
The only sorrow that God allows you to have
is godly sorrow.”
The next moment,
Joseph Prince mocks godly sorrow and said,
But godly sorrow is not repentance.
But godly sorrow is not repentance.
People are crying and people are sobbing
and hitting their breasts and say,
‘Jesus, Jesus.’”
What Joseph Prince said about godly sorrow and repentance
the second time
is completely the opposite of what he said
the first time.
If we do not trust anyone
who says one thing at one time
and another that is completely different from the first time
at another time,
how can anyone with his right mind trust Joseph Prince,
the so-called world-renowned preacher,
who commits the same sinful act
over and over and over and over and over again?

“It takes 2,000 years to find a man, Joseph Prince,
who discovered that the Holy Communion is “divine medicine”
that replaces all human medicines and medical procedures.
Prayerfully, it will not take another 2,000 years
for people to realise that this peddler, Joseph Prince,
who hails from a little red dot,
is but a big bluffer and slick liar.”

“25 years ago, one of my old classmates
died of leukaemia inside the hospital
3 days after the bone marrow transplant.
He was a devoted Christian and he prayed for healing
while he was on the sick bed
before the bone marrow transplant operation.
However, God has decided to bring him home instead.
No, God doesn’t always guarantee healing
but being our loving father,
he always has a better plan for us.”
@dantelum
“Keep contending for the truth.
There are MANY Christians who have been seduced
by Joseph Prince and his doctrines.
It’s a counterfeit form of grace.
And sadly, many have been seduced.
I don’t mean only Singapore,
but the entire South East Asia and even Asia,
especially amongst the younger ones.
Nobody wants to hear the truth anymore.”
@user-qi8rv4ez7u
“Pity the poor villagers in the Philippines, Cambodia,
Thailand and elsewhere in Asia.
They can’t even read the Bible
and have practically no access to biblical resources.
They must be taking the Holy Communion,
skipping all medical consultation,
thinking that they will be healed.
God help them.”

“The bottom line is:
Joseph Prince is a liar,
and he has totally no defense against this.”

“Thank you, Rev George Ong.
Please keep up the good work in exposing Joseph Prince,
a false prophet in our own backyard
and sinfully impacting the world, too,
with his nonsensical, distorted,
out-of-context teachings of God’s word
which is famously known
as cheap feel-good Hyper grace gospel.
We, who are born again Christians must be watchful
and contend against false teachings of the Bible.”
@tanky815
“Many will play the game with Joseph Prince
and say they are healed at the worship services
…thinking they are exercising faith
to eventually get healed.”
– well said Rev Ong.
I am guilty of that too.”
@joyceliew4352
“Me too.
Years ago, when giving birth to my baby,
I kept denying the labour pain
because I was taught by Joseph Prince
to have faith for a painless and supernatural childbirth
because I have been redeemed from the curse of the law. (Pain is of curse)
@user-qi8rv4ez7u
“Come on Joe, don’t just talk the talk, walk the walk.
Why did you send a loved one to a hospital for examination
after a fall on the head?
Didn’t you write that the Holy Communion
is more powerful than any medicine or medical procedure?
With that teaching any medical examination
would be downright unnecessary.
This is not interference in your affairs,
just the pursuit of truth.
Truth leads to right believing which leads to right living-
and to the prevention of further harm to the body of Christ.”
@joyceliew4352
“I must admit I have sinned
for wanting this kind of new teaching
on the Holy Communion that Joseph Prince offers.
For years, my family and I will take Holy Communion daily
even during our holidays.
There’s fear that if we don’t take,
fear of something bad might happen
because we were taught by Joseph Prince
there’s power in the Holy Communion
for healing and protection.
Yet, we suffer more sicknesses
even though we didn’t stop partaking Holy Communion
and still claiming Jesus’s healing upon us.
At the same time, we still take our medication just in case…
As long as when we are healed, we will give glory to Jesus.
This is our journey of believing God’s grace and blessings
upon us through the Holy Communion.
This is until I opened up The Bible
and study 1 Corinthians 11 carefully
(in a whole context not just verse 29),
I realised I have sinned against God
because of my idolatry
(meaning wanting more after what God has given).
To those who see we are criticizing Joseph Prince
through this channel,
I can understand that
because that was what I perceived it too
when I was all for Joseph Prince’s preaching.
Because I hated the truth,
I don’t like others to expose what’s hidden
but those things which are impressive and popular,
I will embrace.
I repented of my wickedness unto the Lord,
sought for His forgiveness of my sins.
Since then, I fear Him and want to love Him
because I know He loves me
and His ways are good and righteous.
Slowly, our physical health also improved
and we thank God for His mercy and faithfulness.
Here is 1 Corinthians 11
where Joseph Prince would only show us part of it
and also at his preferred version,
so that not to expose the actual meaning of this Word.
1 Corinthians 11:27-31 (regarding Holy Communion)
(You may want to read the entire chapter 11 for your own benefit)
[27] So then whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in a way that is UNWORTHY [of Him] will be GUILTY of [profaning and sinning against] the body and blood of the Lord.
[28] But a person must [prayerfully] EXAMINE himself [and his relationship to Christ], and ONLY when he has done so should he eat of the bread and drink of the cup.
[29] For anyone who eats and drinks [without solemn REVERENCE and heartfelt gratitude for the sacrifice of Christ],
eats and drinks a JUDGEMENT on himself if he does not recognize the body [of Christ].
[30] That [CARELESS and UNWORTHY participation] IS THE REASON why many among you are weak and sick, and a number sleep [in death].
[31] But if we evaluated and judged ourselves honestly [recognizing our shortcomings and correcting our behavior], we would not be judged.
@joyceliew4352
“Grieve for many still partaking God’s sacraments
without examining themselves before our God.
Therefore, has brought many under the judgements of God

“Many people still ask,
“There are many false prophets,
but why do you criticize only him?”
Yes, precisely, there are many false prophets,
but he is more subtle and more dangerous
than all the others who are ‘certified false prophets’.
Initially, he said that he loved it
when all other people criticized him.
He boasted that he felt ‘honored’ and ‘anointed’
to be ‘criticized’;
but now, I think, he regrets saying it.”

“If I can recall,
after his sermon on the twisted truth of the Holy Communion,

Let our Lord judge.”

“I wish people would read the Bible or even study it
but not through Joseph Prince’s Bible studies
which is a pack of lies.
The Holy Communion
is chiefly about remembering Christ’s death
and being grateful for what He has done for us at the cross.
In my opinion, on a secondary level,
the Holy Communion is also about
loving and having compassion for one another;
caring and sharing with one another.”
@Matrixqc777
“Joseph Prince is not a Bible scholar.
However, whether one is a learned scholar in Theology or a layman,
spiritual common sense must prevail.
For him to share such an important subject on Communion,
he should have at least a basic understanding of the subject.
Communion must NOT be abused,
or turned into a healing crusade!
The Holy Communion is a time for a believer of Jesus Christ
to come before Him, the Lord
in all seriousness and faith to “EXAMINE OURSELVES”,
by asking the Holy Spirit, to
‘Search me, O God, and know my heart. Try me, and know my innermost thoughts. And see if there is any WICKED WAY in me, and lead me in the everlasting way’
i.e., to REPENT from it (Psalms 139:23-24).

“Suffering is part and parcel of a Christian life
and I believe sickness is a part of suffering.
There may be many reasons for sickness
but it is also a test of our faith, belief

will be healed is incorrect.
God can give and it is His right to take away as well.”

“That is right, brother. And it may even be a good thing.
There are 5 main temptations in the Christian life
that we need to overcome
so that we can be harvest as the good crop for Jesus
– sexual temptation, wealth temptation, power temptation,
compassion temptation, envy temptation.
Christians need to overcome these temptations
by constantly praying
let not the evil one tempt us in the Lord’s prayer.
When a person is suffering, there is no temptation in play
so that may be a good thing in another way.
We only get to live once and this live once
determines if we are of the good harvest.
Joseph Prince is literally saying,
you can have the best blessing
because Father God loves you
without teaching the harm of each temptation.
Can you all still believe in such an ungodly gospel?”

“The main problem, with using Isaiah 53 and Matthew 8:17,
is that the apostle Paul, as the apostle to the Body of Christ,

Nor did he use it when he advised Timothy on his stomach issues.
On the other hand,
Paul taught us Romans 8:18-25, 2 Corinthians 4:16-18,
and Philippians 4:6-7,
on the right perspective we should have
for all kinds of sufferings.”

@fredwongnet
I’m sick and tired of preachers who keep preaching
that we are blessed with wealth and health
coz God the father wouldn’t want us to be poor and sick.
God wants us to be like Abraham or David.
Wait a minute. Is that Christianity or Judaism?
If Christianity, then aren’t we supposed to be like Paul?
He wasn’t staying in palaces
nor living a long and healthy life.
Looking at most churchgoers who are educated
and driving car they seem so blessed.
I sometimes even felt ashamed
to declare myself as a Christian.”

You love every harmful word, O you deceitful tongue! Surely God will bring you down to everlasting ruin: HE will snatch you up and tear you from your tent; HE will uproot you from the land of the living Selah The righteous will see and fear; they will laugh at him, saying, “Here now is the man who did not make GOD his stronghold but trusted in his great wealth and grew strong by destroying others!”

“Until now, Joseph Prince still thinks
that he can heal everybody.
However, isn’t it clear that,
inspite of regularly and radically taking their ‘holy communion’,
New Creation Church’s people are still sick?
They have so many believers
who are sick that Joseph Prince
has to come out (hopefully every Sunday) to ‘heal’ them.
Why?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWOVTR4yRWY&t=12s
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWOVTR4yRWY&t=90s
If they are the most ‘religious’ and ‘spiritual’ people
who follow everything that Joseph Prince says
and take their ‘holy communion’ (as the medicine),
why are they still sick?
Of course, people can get sick because of Sin.
This is one reason which they will keep denying
because they never like to confess any sin
(they think that they are always righteous
because of Jesus and Joseph Prince);
but this is also the reason why they are still so blinded
from discerning the Lord’s body.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWOVTR4yRWY&t=197s
However, do you know that the devil,
its principalities of the air, its government, or its dark forces
are not always the ones who bring sicknesses?
There are two types of sin that bring sickness:
1. the sin that brings sickness to everyone
– the universal sin of Adam & Eve
If you are totally righteous without such a sin,
then you might live up to 120 years old;
however, the Bible says that all have sins
and fall short of the glory of God
– Rom 3:23.
So, from the Bible, immediately we know
that Joseph Prince’s promise of living up to 120 years old is a lie.
We know that no one can live that long because of sin
and no one can say that they can never be sick.
2. the sin that brings sickness only to the believers
– the sin of not discerning the Lord’s body.
If a church like New Creation Church has so many sick people
that the senior pastor is ‘forced’ to come out every Sunday
to ‘perform some kind of healings’
or to ‘preach some kind of lies’
to ‘pacify’ or console his people,
you know that something is not right.
Obviously, if there are so many people got sick,
it is not just because of the 1st type of sin
but also the serious sin of not discerning the Lord’s body.
Every church still have sick people
and we know that God is in control
even though we may be sick.
However, if a church has an alarming increase
in the number of believers becoming sick
and they think that it is out of control,
it is not because of the works of the devil, dark forces,
or the condemnation from their minds,
it is because of their ‘sick’ doctrine
which does not discern the Lord’s body.
This should bring panic or warning to the church
to seriously go back on discerning the Lord’s body.
However, it’s disappointing to know
that Joseph Prince just continues to preach lies
and ignores the warning to discern the Lord’s body.

“His book with the title
“Eat Your Way To Life and Health” is a mockery.
Having known that the devil had tempted Eve
and the man with ‘eating’,
he is now mocking at the foolishness of men again
and seducing them to eat for the flesh again.
When a believer claims to follow Jesus
only by eating and drinking
(like the disciples who enjoyed eating the bread of Jesus in John 6),
he might never want to DISCERN the Lord’s body (or His words)
or EXAMINE himself with the words of the Lord.
He just wants to fulfil the lusts of his flesh
and oppose everyone who has the Word of God
or who is of God:
1 Cor 11:28-32 KJV
But let a man EXAMINE himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. (29) For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not DISCERNING the Lord’s body. (30) For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. (31) For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. (32) But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
Phil 3:17-19 KJV
Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. (18) (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: (19) Whose end is destruction, whose God is their BELLY, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
2 Cor 13:5-6 KJV
EXAMINE yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? (6) But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.
‘Examine’ is a word that Joseph Prince might not like.
He hardly talks about it or teaches it
because it is a word which requires a lot of efforts
and serious thinking
on a particular principle, law, or commandment.
So, he would just dismiss it
as self-effort or law-consciousness.
However, does he know
that when the Lord tells us to examine ourselves,
especially when taking the Holy Communion,
we are required to examine ourselves
with His words or commandments.
If we just want to focus on eating and drinking
without even thinking of His words or teaching,
we are not discerning His body.
There is no meaning in doing it.
We might not be drunk like the Corinthians
who were extreme in taking advantage of their liberty
as ‘grace’ believers,
but we could be as ignorant as them
who did not know how to discern the Lord’s body.”
