Joseph Prince’s Holy Communion teaching leads people to their deaths – By Rev George Ong (Dated 23 Jul 2024)
This is a surprise email from a long-time friend
sent on 22 May 2024, 2 months ago,
which I came across only about 30 minutes ago.
I had somehow missed this email until now.
It must be the Lord’s will
for this to be published in this Article.
(and I don’t even have time to contact him,
which I will, after sending this Article out).
“Dear George,
I hope you can remember me.
I am Ben Ang; you will know me as Ang Ah Beng.
In 1971, when we were in secondary 1,
you led me to Jesus,
through the then Youth For Christ (YFC),
at Grace Assembly.
We were classmates
at the then Commonwealth Secondary School.
I am still walking close to the Lord.
But I don’t attend any church now.
For the reasons
that you are challenging the likes of Joseph Prince.
Thanks to you for your efforts through the YouTube,
as I managed to swing my sister
who was attending New Creation Church,
and now she is out of the church.
I still have friends
who are attending New Creation Church,
so, I am doing my best to get them to see the truth.
But as you know, it is a challenge.
My brother is a Captain with SIA,
and I have shared with him your channel.
I want you to know
that you are definitely doing the right thing
to expose Joseph Prince for all the false teachings.
Thank you once again for fervently serving the Lord
over the last 5 decades.”
Regards,
Ben Ang
Excerpt from the Article:
Finally, do you wish to know the real reason why
Joseph Prince kept on asking people to take their medicines
all the while,
and especially 2 days ago, on 21 July 2024?
This is because he realised
that there are many who have passed away
even though they have followed his advice
to take the Holy Communion on a regular basis,
and believing what he wrote
that the Holy Communion
is more powerful than all other medicines.
He so afraid that the families and friends
of the many deceased
who have passed away in this circumstance
may sue him.
And I believe they may have a legal right to sue him
(I am not a lawyer, so, this is just my layman opinion)
because of Joseph Prince’s empty claim and blatant lie
that the Holy Communion
“is more powerful
than any medicine,
any medical procedure,
any antibiotic,
and any chemotherapy
used to heal our bodies.”
Not only is this statement
made by Joseph Prince a blatant lie,
but it has also led many to their early and tragic deaths.
This is why it is of great urgency
that Joseph Prince immediately remove this statement from his book
to prevent more untimely deaths from occurring.
If Joseph Prince refuses to remove this statement from his book,
is he waiting for people
to lodge a report against him
with the police in the Home Affairs Ministry,
or the relevant authorities, such as the Health Ministry,
for issuing a false statement
that has resulted in many deaths?

Note this comment is a critique of my website:
@JCA1147
“This channel’s sole purpose
is to criticize Pastor Prince.
It’s ridiculous. Laugh out loud!
These are the comments of those
who wrote against the above critic:
@lindsaylim5806
“Joseph Prince ridicules himself and all his followers
by misrepresenting Christ
and promoting a false Christ and false gospel.
Rev George Ong has to do what he has to do
cos nobody else dares to do it.
It takes tremendous courage to come out
and expose a dangerous heretical false teacher
like Joseph Prince.”
@sookw1071
“Pray to God to open your eyes and ears
to discern the wolf from the sheep.”
@prosperian
“It’s not criticising but pointing out the errors
in Joseph Prince’s half-truth teaching.
You need to search the Bible for the truth
and not the Bible according to Joseph Prince.”
(This article was also sent to Rev Dr Ngoei Foong Nghian, General Secretary, National Council of Churches of Singapore (NCCS) office, and for the attention of the Executive Committee Members.)
In the sermon preached 2 days ago on 21 July 2024,
Joseph Prince said;
“I’m going to pray for you.
Many will be healed.
I believe that.
But do not stop your medication.
So don’t stop your medication.
But don’t stop your medication.
So, if you are taking medication or whatever it is,
don’t stop.”
But in ‘Eat Your Way to Life and Health,’
Joseph Prince wrote:
“Let me tell you why I preach so strongly
about the holy Communion,
and why I partake of it every single day.
Let me tell you why the holy Communion
is ingrained as part of the DNA of our church
and why I believe it is more powerful
than any medicine,
any medical procedure,
any antibiotic,
and any chemotherapy
used to heal our bodies.”
If Joseph Prince has already categorically stated
that the Holy Communion
“is more powerful
than any medicine,
any medical procedure,
any antibiotic,
and any chemotherapy
used to heal our bodies,”
why is he also asking people to take their medicines?
If Joseph Prince persists in asking people
to take their medicines,
then he has to remove the statement in the Book,
that the Holy Communion
“is more powerful
than any medicine,
any medical procedure,
any antibiotic,
and any chemotherapy
used to heal our bodies.”
This is because if the Holy Communion
has to be supplemented by other medicines,
than the above statement cannot be true
and Joseph Prince has clearly told blatant a lie.
Second, this statement
can potentially lead people to their deaths.
For those who are totally sold out to Joseph Prince
as their cult leader and his doctrines,
and when they read this statement,
the Holy Communion
“is more powerful
than any medicine,
any medical procedure,
any antibiotic,
and any chemotherapy
used to heal our bodies,”
what would they do?
They would take it as gospel truth.
They would reason
that since the Holy Communion
“is more powerful
than any medicine,
any medical procedure,
any antibiotic,
and any chemotherapy
used to heal our bodies,”
they may stop taking their medicines,
they may stop their medical operation
and they may stop their chemotherapy.
Such foolish actions may well lead people to their early deaths.
This is not something that is waiting to happen.
This has already happened
– that those who trust Joseph Prince
has stopped taking their medicines,
and some leading to the deaths:
@jeremychew3668
“My mother was a Joseph Prince believer.
When she was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer,
she did a number of things:
(1) told no one, perhaps because as Joseph Prince said,
‘You’re sick because you’re of little faith.’
(2) didn’t seek standard medical treatment,
perhaps, to try and hide her illness,
Perhaps, she believed like Joseph Prince said,
‘Just believe and God WILL heal.’
(3) only thing she took 3 times of Holy Communion a day
as per Joseph Prince’s teachings.
Family, including myself, relatives and her close friends
were told of her real condition only when it was too late.
I flew home from overseas straight away
and got a couple of hours before she passed on.
It’s a mystery to many who know my mother
how she became to be during the last years of her life.
Everything became clear when one listens to the bullshit
that comes out from Joseph Prince’s mouth.
My one advice to anyone, stay away from Joseph Prince
and you will live much better and wiser in God’s hands.”
George Ong’s comments:
I got connected with Jeremy Chew,
who wrote the above YouTube comment
when he first wrote to me.
I happened to know more than what many do
regarding Jeremy Chew’s family and his deceased mother.
I even saw Joseph Prince’s photograph (taken with the family)
at the wake of Jeremy Chew’s grandmother.
This is because Joseph Prince
is known to Jeremy’s mother (deceased)
and her relatives
and he attended the wake of Jeremy’s grandmother in Sep 2018.
Please check with Joseph Prince
whether what I said in the above is true.
@user-vo3iy4ur6d
“We all should be very angry at Joseph Prince
hearing such a story.
I believe there are many such stories
in New Creation Church.
Joseph Prince is literally getting away with ‘murder’,
while at the same time absolved from responsibility,
and fleecing the people
who are too dumb to think clearly, rationally and biblically
under his occultic spell.”
@veralinc8117
“Shocking!
One man’s lie,
caused a life.”
@joyceliew4352
“Hi Jeremy, we are so sorry and saddened
to hear about your late mum.
No words can describe the pain and lost
you and family have gone through.
God knows everything
and Joseph Prince will have to answer to God.
The day will surely come.
And as for us, do continue to be faithful unto Him
until we see Him face to face.”
@jeremychew3668
“Yes, indeed there are more such stories.
My wife friend’s mother was also a Joseph Prince believer.
She had breast cancer, and did nothing until one day,
family members remarked
that the house seemed to smell of rotting flesh,
and eventually, her condition was discovered.
By then, doctors gave her less than 6 months
and she was gone within 3.
Many times, people become ‘dumb’
because they are desperate,
And people like Joseph Prince
sells them fake happy endings
and they fall for it.
Therefore, in whatever capacity,
we do what we can to lead people in the right direction
away from Joseph Prince and his friends.”
Glenn Fong, an Ex New Creation Church member
for 15 years wrote:
“I heard of cancer patients in New Creation Church
who denied medication and treatment
and died believing they will be healed.
Will Joseph Prince take responsibility for such cases?
What is worse is that he often transfers such guilt
to the people themselves
by saying through his sermons
that they don’t have enough faith.
I also heard of cancer patients
who Positive Confess their way to their grave.
Joseph Prince will take pains
to hide such incidents from the public.
The healing testimonies
we hear on Sunday in New Creation Church
are just a probability game;
he only publicises the successful cases.
Ultimately, God heals whoever He wills,
and it has nothing to do with his grace doctrine
or confessing,
‘I am the Righteousness of God in Christ’.”
Back to George Ong.
Will Joseph Prince take responsibility for such tragedies
that he has brought about?
Of course, the first defense of Joseph Prince
would be to insist that he has been reminding his people
to continue taking their medicines
in his sermons and books.
This is no defense at all as it only proves
that since the Holy Communion
has to be supplemented with other medicines
then Joseph Prince’s statement,
that the Holy Communion
“is more powerful
than any medicine,
any medical procedure,
any antibiotic,
and any chemotherapy
used to heal our bodies,”
is a brazen lie.
In no uncertain terms,
Joseph Prince has to do 2 things.
First, either he has to stop telling people to take their medicines
if he really believes
that the Holy Communion
“is more powerful
than any medicine,
any medical procedure,
any antibiotic,
and any chemotherapy
used to heal our bodies.”
Or, Joseph Prince has to immediately issue
a public apology to remove this particular statement;
that the Holy Communion
“is more powerful
than any medicine,
any medical procedure,
any antibiotic,
and any chemotherapy
used to heal our bodies,”
which is a blatant lie
from his book.
If Joseph Prince continues to make statements
asking people to take their medicines,
which is likely to be the case,
then the above statement is a lie.
Again, I have proven that Joseph Prince
is not just a liar but a serial liar.
He does not only lie in his sermons
but he also lied in what he has written.
How can a serial liar
be a true teacher of God’s word?
How can a serial liar
not be a wolf in sheepskin?
Finally, do you wish to know the real reason why
Joseph Prince kept on asking people to take their medicines
all the while,
and especially 2 days ago, on 21 July 2024?
This is because he realised
that there are many who have passed away
even though they have followed his advice
to take the Holy Communion on a regular basis,
and believing what he wrote
that the Holy Communion
is more powerful than all other medicines.
He so afraid that the families and friends of the many deceased
who have passed away in this circumstance
may sue him.
And I believe they may have a legal right to sue him
(I am not a lawyer, so, this is just my layman opinion)
because of Joseph Prince’s empty claim and blatant lie
that the Holy Communion
“is more powerful
than any medicine,
any medical procedure,
any antibiotic,
and any chemotherapy
used to heal our bodies.”
Not only is this statement made by Joseph Prince a blatant lie,
but it has also led many to their early and tragic deaths.
This is why it is of great urgency
that Joseph Prince immediately remove this statement from his book
to prevent more untimely deaths from occurring.
If Joseph Prince refuses to remove this statement from his book,
is he waiting for people
to lodge a report against him
with the police in the Home Affairs Ministry,
or the relevant authorities, such as the Health Ministry,
for issuing a false statement
that has resulted in many deaths?
Finally, Joseph Prince needs to tell us
whether he had sought the advice of professional doctors
and medically approved bodies
to prove the statement.
that the Holy Communion
“is more powerful
than any medicine,
any medical procedure,
any antibiotic,
and any chemotherapy
used to heal our bodies.”
The truth is he hasn’t.
Friends, how can such a crucial statement like this
which is not only a spiritual issue,
but it is also very medically-related
not to have the sanctions of medically approved bodies?
But this is not all
– Joseph Prince, by his heretical teachings
has mocked every church father
and every single Christian denomination and tradition
throughout the centuries of the Christian Church,
as none has ever taught the Holy Communion
in the heretical way that Joseph Prince has taught.
But what is most sacrilegious
is that Joseph Prince had gone beyond
and added his own words and doctrines
to what Jesus and Paul had taught
regarding the Holy Communion.
If the Holy Communion were to be used
as medicines and healing were true,
then Jesus and Paul would have explicitly mentioned it
– but they didn’t.
Joseph Prince by making the Holy Communion
into a magical thing for medicines and healing
has, indeed, mocked the Lord Jesus,
who clearly said it is to remember His death.
The Holy Communion to be used for medicines and healing
was never said or taught by Jesus a single time
in the entire scriptures.
