Surprise Note of Encouragement:
In response to my last Article,
Main Title: If Joseph Prince offers financial support, the Singapore Pastors must never receive it; as once they do, they will be beholden to him and are unlikely to confront him about his heresies
Sub Title: Could it be that there are Pastors and churches who may have received financially from Joseph Prince – and that is what is keeping them from speaking against his heresies?
I got a surprise note from Grace Tan:
“Good afternoon, Rev George Ong,
You do not know me personally,
but I just want to express my gratitude
for including me in your WhatsApp broadcast.
I may not read every article;
I only read those titles that caught my eye.
But through the years as I read your articles,
and checked the verses in the Bible,
I find that I gradually grew in wisdom
in the discernment of truth and lies.
I had seen you and your wife in person twice only in church
when you were invited
to Reservoir Garden Baptist Church (RGBC) of Penang
to preach about Revelation.
I write to you because I am again reminded
as I am studying Revelation with BSF,
the importance of knowing the word of God,
especially during times like this
when there are false prophets.
My husband and I admire your courage
for standing up for the truth and Christ.
We want to express our thanks
for your continuous effort
in keeping us informed.”

Announcement No 2:
Don’t miss the Appendix
which contains the thoughts of Aaron Khoo,
an Ex New Creation Church member
that gives an inkling into why
Lawrence Lim, in his sermon 4 days ago,
had to rush to the defence
of his boss, Joseph Prince.
Excerpt No 1 from the Article:
In a sermon on 3 Nov 2024, 2 Sundays ago,
Joseph Prince said;
“In fact,
you should be vain if you are a lady.
Nowadays, we got guys getting really vain.”
Joseph Prince said that if you are a lady,
you should be vain!
What an outrageous statement for a ‘preacher’ to make!
Excerpt No 2 from the Article:
It is so obvious that the DNA of New Creation Church Pastors,
like Darren Sim and Lawrence Lim
is the same as that of their leader, Joseph Prince
– as they are all experts at using half-truths,
which are nothing more than lies
to deceive the people.
George Ong wrote:
“The power of deception
doesn’t come by telling outright lies;
it comes by telling just a part of the truth.”
George Ong also wrote:
“The best way to tell a lie that goes unnoticed
is not to tell what is false
but to hide what is true.”
Excerpt No 3 from the Article:
In ‘The New Testament, Spurgeon’s Sermons By Each Book.’
Charles Spurgeon said:
“Half the mischief in the world,
and perhaps more, is done,
not by an ostensible lie,
but by a perverted truth.
The devil, knowing this,
takes a text of Scripture,
clips it, adds to it…”
George Ong’s comments:
Joseph Prince, Darren Sim and Lawrence Lim
are all functioning in the devil’s tradition
and following the devil himself,
as they clip
by hiding or ‘deleting’
the obedience to God’s laws and commandments
from the text
in Deuteronomy chapter 11,
or adds to the text as Joseph Prince has done
in 1 Corinthians chapter 15
by ‘adding’ Mr and Miss Universe into it,
and in the Naaman’s story
by ‘adding’ his age (late 50s) into it.
Excerpt No 4 from the Article:
In ‘The Ever-Loving Truth
Can Faith Thrive in a Post-Christian Culture?
Voddie Baucham Jr wrote:
“That’s why a half-truth
is far worse than a whole lie.
Some people…
have discovered part of God’s truth,
but it has been mixed with lies.”
George Ong’s comments:
“A half-truth is far worse than a whole lie,”
is because while one can easily detect a lie,
half-truths are not so easily discerned,
and many will be deceived by half-truths.
What is most dangerous
is that the heresies of Joseph Prince
don’t come by whole lies but half-truths.
A full lie will never deceive
but the half-truths of Joseph Prince certainly will.
George Ong wrote:
“A half-truth cloaked as a whole truth
becomes a full lie.”
George Ong also wrote:
“A half-gospel disguised as a full gospel
is a complete heresy.”

It’s time to leave Joseph Prince’s New Creation Church for Kong Hee’s City Harvest Church, or the many Bible-Believing churches in Singapore – By Rev George Ong (Dated 4 Nov 2024)
Please click on the link below to view,
I dealt a severe blow to Joseph Prince’s character.
This is the reason Lawrence Lim, his right-hand man,
in his sermon 4 days ago on 10 Nov 2024 (Joseph Prince didn’t preach last Sunday)
count it as his mission to speak up for
and defend Joseph Prince, his boss.
In a sermon 4 days ago on 10 Nov 2024,
Lawrence Lim said:
“Can I tell you something about Pastor Prince?
I know Pastor for many years, okay, right.
I’m in church for 30 years.
I’m full time for 20 years.
And I have served kind of like a assistant to Pastor
in many of his, you know the things,
the things that he needs to do,
I support him.
Right, we hang out and you know for many years.
Two decades.
So can I tell you this?
I think I know him a little bit Lah.”
Then Lawrence Lim went on to relate an incident
that Joseph Prince emptied his wallet
to give to a Pastor from India
for his migrant work in Singapore.
Lawrence Lim stressed
that Joseph Prince told this Indian Pastor
not to tell anyone
and that he (Lawrence Lim)
had learned what happened
from the Indian Pastor himself.
Then, after relating this incident and one other episode,
Lawrence Lim went on to say;
“So that is Pastor Prince,
so you all don’t know.
He will never tell you, Lah,
I tell Lah.
So, this is Pastor Prince, right?
You don’t know cause, you never see,
I tell you, Lah.
I think good to tell, right, this kind of thing.
So, you know what kind of man he (Joseph Prince) is.”
Lawrence Lim said:
“So, this is Pastor Prince, right.
You don’t know, cause you never see,
I tell you Lah.
I think good to tell, right, this kind of thing.
So, you know what kind of man he (Joseph Prince) is.”
Lawrence Lim is so fixated
about telling the world about Joseph Prince
that people don’t know about or they don’t see,
when what he and many people know about Joseph Prince,
Lawrence Lim dishonestly hides them from you.
So, let me reveal
what Lawrence Lim knows
about the real character Joseph Prince
that he refuses to divulge.
1. Lawrence Lim hides the real character of Joseph Prince who is vain because Prince is so engrossed with being good-looking, being a Mr Universe, and yearning for the skin of a child, even though he was in his late 50s.
In a sermon on 3 Nov 2024, 2 Sundays ago,
Joseph Prince said;
“In fact,
you should be vain if you are a lady.
Nowadays, we got guys getting really vain.”
Joseph Prince said that if you are a lady,
you should be vain!
What an outrageous statement for a ‘preacher’ to make!
But what did the scriptures tell us:
1 Peter 3:3-5 NLT
3 Don’t be concerned about the outward beauty of fancy hairstyles, expensive jewelry, or beautiful clothes.
4 You should clothe yourselves instead with the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God.
5 This is how the holy women of old made themselves beautiful. They put their trust in God and accepted the authority of their husbands.
The gist of what the Apostle Peter was trying to tell us
is that our concern
should not be on outward beauty but inward beauty.
Joseph Prince said:
“Nowadays, we got guys getting really vain.”
In trying to say that guys shouldn’t be vain,
he is so blind to his own vanity
because I can prove to you
that Joseph Prince is himself quite a vain fellow.
Let me give you some hard evidence about his vanity
for you to chew on.
In 2 sermons, Joseph Prince said;
“We have beautiful wives.
But the most striking similarity between us both
is that we are both darn good-looking.
At least, we think so.
And, you know,
from one good-looking Pastor to another, Amen.”
But what do you think of a so-called Pastor,
who not only boasts that his own wife is beautiful,
but who says of himself
as being darn good-looking
twice, on 2 separate occasions
in public?
To me, that’s vanity of the highest order.
If the same comment were to come from an ‘ordinary guy’,
most of us would cringe
– and what more when this comes
from a so-called preacher of the gospel.
So, Joseph Prince cannot blame others who may say,
“Why so vain and so Hiow?” (Hokkien)
Yet others, who are more forthright,
may say, like a Singapore Politician did,
“Siah Sway Ah!” (Embarrassing or Disgraceful)
Joseph Prince’s supporters,
and Prince himself would reason,
“Well, if it is a fact,
there’s nothing wrong for a speaker
to be frank about it,
even in public.”
Well then, what do you think of a Preacher
who says in public:
“Let me be frank with you;
and I think there’s nothing wrong to be frank with you
that I am really a humble man.
At least, I think so.”
This certainly shows that
there are things which a preacher shouldn’t say in public.
And if he says the unmentionable in public,
he cannot blame people for calling him a vain fellow.
The fact that Joseph Prince has to announce to the world
that he is so good-looking,
only indicates an insecurity that he has something to prove
that is lurking in his heart.
This is not the only time Joseph Prince boasts about his looks
that indicates his sure vanity
that Lawrence Lim has hidden from you.
In a Sunday sermon, Joseph Prince said;
“The Bible says when he (Naaman) came out,
his skin was like a little child (2 Kgs 5:14 NKJV).
And I’m telling you, it’s truth okay.
When I take communion, almost every day, right,
I claim this.
Now, don’t look at me.
The manifestation is still happening. Okay.
But I tell you I claim it.
Why not?
If God can do it for Naaman, Amen,
God can do it for me, Amen.
All the promises of God are yes and amen.
Imagine, how old is he?
To be a commander,
usually, he’s probably in his 50s.
He command other people to do the leg work.
He’s probably in his 50s and all that,
and yet his skin became like a little child.
So, I can believe God for that, Amen, Amen.”
Joseph Prince said;
“The Bible says when he came out,
his skin was like a little child.
And I’m telling you, it’s truth okay.
When I take communion, almost every day, right,
I claim this.
Now, don’t look at me.”
(What’s horrifying is that Joseph Prince has deceived the people
with this line,
“If you want to have the skin of a little child,
you need to take the Holy Communion every day
like what I did.”
What is worse is that he has sacrilegiously abused the Holy Communion
by treating it as a magic potion for smooth skin.
But since this is not my focus,
and I have dealt with this issue in my many previous articles,
I shall not belabour in this.)
When Joseph Prince said,
“‘Now, don’t look at me,’
what do you think he is asking you?”
To look at him!
That’s what he is saying.
It is so typical of Joseph Prince
who pretends to be humble,
“Now, don’t look at me,”
when he is such a proud guy
who actually says in his heart,
“Now, what I really meant is
I want everyone to look at me.”
Why?
Because the vain and proud Joseph Prince
wants the whole world to know
that he has the skin of a little child.
Joseph Prince said;
“Imagine, how old is he?
To be a commander,
usually, he’s probably in his 50s.
He command other people to do the leg work.
He’s probably in his 50s and all that,
and yet his skin became like a little child.
So, I can believe God for that, Amen, Amen.”
Why the need for Joseph Prince to mention
that Naaman was probably in his 50s,
not once but twice?
It is to set up the correlation
between the ages of Naaman and himself.
This is because
when Joseph Prince mentioned
that Naaman was in his 50s in his sermon,
Prince was 59-years-old.
His congregation knows how old he is,
as his birthday is always mentioned and celebrated yearly
in the worship service.
By mentioning that Naaman was in his late 50s twice,
Joseph Prince wants to make sure everybody knows
that when he talks about Naaman,
he is also referring to himself.
You see how vain he is!
But how does Joseph Prince know
Naaman is probably in his 50s?
By merely reading his (Joseph Prince) age into the text.
Why does he pick on the age of 50s,
and not 40s or 60s or 70s?
It is because Joseph Prince was in his 50s (late 50s)
at that time.
Can you see how vain Joseph Prince is
– that he is prepared to do the impermissible
by reading his age into a text
(this is eisegesis not exegesis)
just to make sure people are aware
that when he talks about Naaman,
he is also referring to himself.
To me, this is called eisegesis,
or more accurately,
eisegesis by vanity!
For the sake of argument, let’s stretch it a little bit.
Naaman was stricken with leprosy
and he had to dip into the river 7 times
before he had the skin of a little child.
So – did Joseph Prince contract leprosy
and did he dip into the river 7 times
before he starts to claim the same promise?
I believe this is probably the only time
that such an incident has happened (correct me if I am wrong).
So, Joseph Prince has made this blessing of child’s skin
that is specific to Naaman that he didn’t ask for
because it was God who granted it to him,
to become a universal blessing
that all New Covenant believers could enthusiastically claim.
But the whole point in Naaman’s case,
is to illustrate that God can heal
and He healed Naaman’s leprosy so thoroughly
that his skin became like that of a little child.
So the key lesson is for us to praise God
for He is indeed a God who heals and heals thoroughly,
and not, as Joseph Prince has done,
to start focusing on the trivial,
such as the external look of our skin.
Let me give Joseph Prince a piece of advice
from an older brother like me,
who is 5 years his senior,
– stop being vain about your external looks,
and start preaching about the inner qualities
that Jesus talked about
in the Sermon on the Mount (Matt 5:3-12).
Let me give you more evidence about Joseph Prince’s vanity
– that he is excessively indulgent about his physical looks
that Lawrence Lim has hidden from you.
In a Sunday sermon, Joseph Prince said;
“And when it happens in the Book of 1 Corinthians 15,
it says that in the twinkling of an eye, you see the eye,
look at someone’s eye, and there’s a twinkle.
That’s how fast the rapture will happen
and then our bodies are changed.
The rapture is good news.
We are going to have a body that will be like.
I believe it’s going to be muscular without the work.
It’ll be a good-looking body.
Everybody is going to be good-looking. Amen.
And everyone will become a Mr Universe for every man.
Every lady become a Miss Universe.
Okay, I don’t care how unpopular
it is to talk about such things nowadays,
and all that, you know what I mean,
common sense people.
You understand what I mean.
Right, you understand, right.
What is a woman,
what is a man? Amen.”
By saying that,
“We are going to have a body that will be like.
I believe it’s going to be muscular without the work.
It’ll be a good-looking body.
Everybody is going to be good-looking. Amen.
And everyone will become a Mr Universe for every man.
Every lady become a Miss Universe,”
only shows how vain Joseph Prince is,
as what he is concerned about
is to be a Mr Universe and to be good-looking.
Joseph Prince said:
“And everyone will become a Mr Universe for every man.
Every lady become a Miss Universe.
Okay, I don’t care how unpopular
it is to talk about such things nowadays,
and all that, you know what I mean,
common sense people.
You understand what I mean.
Right, you understand, right.
What is a woman,
what is a man? Amen.”
Joseph Prince by saying,
“What is a woman,
what is a man?”
he is implying that what constitutes a man and a woman
is to have the looks of Mr and Miss Universe
even in our resurrected state.
But wait a minute,
when we get our resurrected bodies,
do we care for such earthly and mundane things anymore?
Not by any stretch!
We don’t have to look like Mr and Miss Universe.
We just have to be ourselves even with our resurrected bodies.
This shows that Joseph Prince is so earthly
rather than ‘heavenly’ in his thinking.
Next, Joseph Prince has daringly added to the word of God.
There is nowhere in the scriptures that tells us
we will all look like Mr and Miss Universe
in our resurrected/raptured bodies.
This is not the first time
Joseph Prince has added to God’s word.
He has done that plenty of times.
A preacher who treats God’s word with such utter disrespect
can never be a true teacher of God’s word.
So, beyond what was revealed
about what our resurrected/raptured bodies may look like,
any attempt to sensationalise it,
such as our bodies would be like that of Mr and Miss Universe,
is adding to God’s word.
And adding to God’s word repeatedly and recalcitrantly,
would mean that Joseph Prince would come under a curse:
Revelation 22:18-19 NIV
18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll. 19 And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll.
2. Lawrence Lim hides the real character of Joseph Prince who is a con man when Prince claimed he has the gift of healing – but out of the hundreds he prayed for during the worship service on 20 Oct 2024, none were healed.
Please refer to a previous Article, titled,
Joseph Prince must account for the more than 100 people as to whether they are healed or not, this Sunday, 3 days from now, on 27 Oct 2024, when he prayed for them, last Sunday, 4 days ago, on 20 Oct 2024
Please click on the link below to view:
In a sermon on 20 Oct 2024, 4 Sundays ago,
Joseph Prince said;
“I want to pray for you for knee conditions,
is it okay?
As I said that just now,
the Lord says, ya, that’s the reason why
He’s giving me this again and again.
The knee condition.
You got a knee condition, just stand to your feet.
We want to pray for you, okay. Hallelujah.
If your knees are in,
you have problem with your knees,
your knees, your k..n..e..e..s,
not your niece, your nephew, niece, okay.
Your knees.
You got to be specific. Alright.
Praise the Lord. Hallelujah. Thank you, Lord.
‘Father, in the name of the Lord Jesus,
I command every knee under the sound of my voice
that is afflicted
to be now made whole
in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Every part of that knee that has degenerated,
I ask Lord that you regenerate.
You restore to health and shalom wholeness.
In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
do a miracle, Father.
Do a miracle
for every one of them, Lord,
that is believing you right now.
Restore their knees
in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Cause the fluid, the fluid to start flowing back again
in its right portion, in its right amount.
In the name of Jesus,
let everything Lord, that has fallen, Lord, into disuse
be restored in the name of the Lord Jesus.
And Father,
I command every pain to leave the knees
in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
And in the name of Jesus, Father,
give them brand new knees.
In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I ask.
And all the people say, Amen.’
You may be seated.
I believe many of you have received new knees.
Praise the Lord. Amen.”
On 20 Oct 2024, 4 Sundays ago,
Joseph Prince asked those who wished to be prayed for by him
over their knee condition to stand.
I believe a few hundred must have stood.
But 3 Sundays have passed
– 27 Oct 2024, 3 Nov 2024 and 10 Nov 2024, last Sunday,
there was not a single testimony being read out
in these 3 worship services
of any who were healed of their knee condition
on 20 Oct 2024.
This is usually the practice of Joseph Prince,
who would not waste a single second
to make sure that such testimonies get trumpeted
for the world to hear
as soon as they are received.
And this is despite the fact that Joseph Prince said
it was the Lord who spoke to him
about praying for the knee condition
and that he invoked the name of Jesus Christ 9 times
to heal the people of their knee condition.
Friends, especially for those in New Creation Church
who stood to be prayed for
by Joseph Prince on 20 Oct 2024,
you ought to know by now that Joseph Prince is a con man,
who lied to the people that he has the gift of healing
when he doesn’t.
3. Lawrence Lim has hidden the real character of Joseph Prince – that he is a vain man and con man, as Lawrence, like Joseph Prince & Darren Sim, is also a liar because they deceive by telling half-truths which are nothing more than lies.
Let’s come back to Lawrence Lim.
Lawrence Lim said;
“So, this is Pastor Prince, right.
You don’t know cause, you never see,
I tell you Lah.
I think good to tell, right, this kind of thing.
So, you know what kind of man he (Joseph Prince) is.”
So, I believe I have proven the fact
that Lawrence Lim is so fixated
about telling the world about Joseph Prince
that they don’t know about or they don’t see,
when what he knows about Joseph Prince,
that he is a vain fellow
who is so obsessed with his physical looks,
and that he is a con man,
who said he has the gift of healing
when none of the hundreds of people he prayed for
were healed
– and these are the facts
about the real character of Joseph Prince
that Lawrence Lim has dishonestly hidden away from you.
But Lawrence Lim has a worse character flaw than this.
Lawrence Lim is also a liar
as he is nothing more than using half-truths
to cover up for his lies.
In a previous Article,
Main Title: It takes a liar for Joseph Prince to produce another liar in Darren Sim – that’s the DNA of New Creation Church Leadership
to view, please click on the link below,
I made the point that Darren Sim is a liar
as he has employed half-truths to deceive the people.
And Lawrence Lim has done the same thing
in his sermon on 10 Nov 2024,
as Darren Sim did
in his sermon on 20 Oct 2024.
In a sermon on 10 Nov 2024, 4 days ago,
Lawrence Lim said;
“It says in Deuteronomy chapter 11, verse 21.
that your days and the days of your children
may be multiplied in the land
of which the Lord swore to your fathers to give them,
like the days of the heavens above the earth.
Wooo, God’s promise to the nation of Israel.
That not just them but their children, right,
God’s blessing is for your family.
God’s blessing is not just for you,
but also for your children.
God wants you and your children
to enjoy days of heavens above the earth.
Right here, my friend,
in fallen, broken, sinful world,
we can have days of heaven on fallen earth.
Yeah! How to lose?
Everywhere also win, you know.
Ha, cannot lose, brother.
But how, how do we have days of heaven on earth?
It says on the verses before this,
it says, “Therefore you shall lay up these words of mine
in your heart and in your soul, God’s word ah,
and bind them as a sign on your hand,
and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.
Right, do them. Think of them.
Hand, do. Here, think and see.
Next, You shall teach them to your children,
speaking of them when you sit in your house,
when you walk by the way, when you lie down,
and when you rise up.
And you shall write them on the doorposts
of your house and on your gates.
Then it says,
you will have days of heaven on earth.
So days of heaven on earth
is link to you and God’s word, Amen.
When you meditate on God’s word
and teach them to your children,
you will have days of heaven on earth.”
While Lawrence Lim has shown you
verses 18-21 of Deuteronomy chapter 11,
he has deliberately ‘hidden’ or ‘deleted’
verses 1, 8, 13, 22, 26-28, 32 and 16-17,
like Darren Sim did,
which contain the conditions
for the blessings of verse 21,
from you:
Deuteronomy 11: 8, 13, 22, 26-28, 32 & 16-17
1 “Therefore you shall love the Lord your God, and keep His charge, His statutes, His judgments, and His commandments always.
8 “Therefore you shall keep every commandment which I command you today, that you may be strong, and go in and possess the land which you cross over to possess,
13 ‘And it shall be that if you earnestly obey My commandments which I command you today, to love the Lord your God and serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul,
22 “For if you carefully keep all these commandments which I command you to do—to love the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways, and to hold fast to Him
26 “Behold, I set before you today a blessing and a curse: 27 the blessing, if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you today; 28 and the curse, if you do not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside from the way which I command you today, to go after other gods which you have not known.
32 And you shall be careful to observe all the statutes and judgments which I set before you today.
16 Take heed to yourselves, lest your heart be deceived, and you turn aside and serve other gods and worship them, 17 lest the Lord’s anger be aroused against you,
Hence, Lawrence Lim, like Darren Sim
has deliberately given the false idea
that the blessings of verse 21 of Deuteronomy chapter 11,
21 that your days and the days of your children may be multiplied in the land of which the Lord swore to your fathers to give them, like the days of the heavens above the earth.
contain no conditions
of obeying God’s laws and commandments
in verses 1, 8, 13, 22, 26-28, 32 and 16-17.
Hence, Lawrence Lim by not surfacing
verses 1, 8, 13, 22, 26-28, 32 and 16-17
of Deuteronomy chapter 11,
is effectively ‘deleting’ these verses
from Deuteronomy in particular and the Bible as a whole.
Although Lawrence Lim tells you the half-truth
that what is required to enjoy the blessings of heaven on earth
is just to meditate on God’s word,
he has hidden the other half of the truth
– that obeying God’s laws and commandments
is the other condition that one has to observe
to enjoy the same blessings.
It is so obvious that the DNA of New Creation Church Pastors,
like Darren Sim and Lawrence Lim
is the same as that of their leader, Joseph Prince
– as they are all experts at using half-truths,
which are nothing more than lies
to deceive the people.
In a video, this gentleman said;
Please click here
“But again,
lying is not just this very obvious, blatant sin
that we commit.
We all know you shouldn’t deceive.
We all know that you shouldn’t say things
that are blatantly, obviously false.
We all know that you shouldn’t give bad information
in an attempt to save face or avoid consequences.
But think about the fact
there are also what we would call half-truths.
Sometimes, we deceive not just in what we say
but in what we don’t say.
Sometimes, we manipulate people
not just by the information that we give them
but by the information that we don’t give them.
What’s more,
we also exaggerate or make understatements.
Exaggerations and understatements
are a form of lying.”

“The power of deception
doesn’t come by telling outright lies;

“The best way to tell a lie that goes unnoticed
is not to tell what is false
but to hide what is true.”
In ‘The New Testament, Spurgeon’s Sermons By Each Book.’
Charles Spurgeon said:
“Half the mischief in the world,
and perhaps more, is done,
not by an ostensible lie,
but by a perverted truth.
The devil, knowing this,
takes a text of Scripture,
clips it, adds to it…”
George Ong’s comments:
Joseph Prince, Darren Sim and Lawrence Lim
are all functioning in the devil’s tradition
and following the devil himself,
as they clip
by hiding or ‘deleting’
the obedience to God’s laws and commandments
from the text
in Deuteronomy chapter 11,
or adds to the text as Joseph Prince has done
in 1 Corinthians chapter 15
by ‘adding’ Mr and Miss Universe into it,
and in the Naaman’s story
by ‘adding’ his age (late 50s) into it.
In ‘The Ever-Loving Truth
Can Faith Thrive in a Post-Christian Culture?
Voddie Baucham Jr wrote:
“God’s truth is like that.
All of us crave truth.
In fact, we were designed to crave it.
We also know what it tastes like.
That’s why a half-truth
is far worse than a whole lie.
Some people…
have discovered part of God’s truth,
but it has been mixed with lies.”
George Ong’s comments:
“A half-truth is far worse than a whole lie,”
is because while one can easily detect a lie,
half-truths are not so easily discerned,
and many will be deceived by half-truths.
What is most dangerous
is that the heresies of Joseph Prince
don’t come by whole lies but half-truths.
A full lie will never deceive
but the half-truths of Joseph Prince certainly will.
In ‘JI Packer Library’,
JI Packer wrote:
“However, this may be (and we shall say more about it later),
the result of these omissions
is that part of the biblical gospel is now preached
as if it were the whole of that gospel;
and a half-truth masquerading as the whole truth
becomes a complete untruth.
… a half-truth presented as the whole truth
is a complete untruth.
… A half-truth treated as the whole truth
soon becomes a whole falsehood;
so we who proclaim the good news of God’s grace
must not settle for only half the story.
But we do!
… What sort of person do you think of him as?
Gentle, meek, and mild? Kind,
and endlessly ready to be entreated and forgive?
True
– but only half the truth,
and a half-truth treated as the whole truth
becomes a whole falsehood.
Have you forgotten how he whipped tradesmen
out of the temple (John 2:14 16),
and threw verbal vitriol at recognized church leaders (Mark 11:15-17; Matthew 23, etc.),
and cursed the fig tree as a sign of judgment to come
on unfaithful Israel (Mark 11:12-14, 20ff.)?
In Jesus, as in all God’s self-disclosure
throughout the Bible,
there is a combination of pity
with purity, passion with power,
and slowness to anger
with severity of judgment,
that should humble us to the roots of our being
and move us every day to cry for mercy.
But are we realists enough to see this?
Or has our imagination betrayed us once again?
… The command
not to “bear false witness against your neighbor”
comes in Exodus 20:16 and Deuteronomy 5:20.
The word for “false” in the first text means “untrue,”
that in the second means “insincere,”
thus pointing to the deceitful purpose
which breeds the falsehood.
The NEB rendering, “give false evidence,”
highlights the fact that the commandment
relates in the first place to the law-court,
where justice can only be done
if witnesses tell
“the truth, the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth”
– a formula which forcibly reminds us
that exaggerations, half-truths, and misleading silences
can all in effect be lies.
But the principle of holding truth sacred
goes beyond the law court,
and touches all our living.”
George Ong’s comments:
George Ong wrote:
“A half-truth cloaked as a whole truth
becomes a full lie.”
George Ong also wrote:
“A half-gospel disguised as a full gospel
is a complete heresy.”
In conclusion,
I believe I have proven
that Lawrence Lim hides the real character of Joseph Prince
– that he is a vain man and con man,
as Lawrence, like Joseph Prince & Darren Sim,
is also a liar
because they deceive by telling half-truths.
For the sake of his own career advancement
and to keep himself in Joseph Prince’s good books,
he failed as a true minister of God
to expose Joseph Prince as a con man and a vain fellow,
both of which are totally out of place
for a true preacher of the gospel.
Lawrence Lim is indeed a half-truth specialist,
when he rushed to Joseph Prince’s defence
by choosing to only highlight the half truth
about Joseph Prince emptying his wallet for an Indian Pastor.
Yet, to save his job,
Lawrence Lim has deliberately kept silent
about the other half-truth
that Joseph Prince is a con man and a vain fellow.

Appendix
Do you wish to know more
why Lawrence Lim had to come to the defence of Joseph Prince?
Let’s read what Aaron Khoo,
an Ex New Creation Church member
for 11 years have to say.
Aaron Khoo wrote:
“Many of the New Creation Church Pastors
have the tendency to sing the praises of Pastor Prince
when they preach, make announcements,
or read out testimonies.
While there is a place to affirm
what the Senior Pastor does and preach once in a while
in any church,
the way that this is done in New Creation Church
is way out of proportion.
It is like these Pastors are competing to see
who can give Pastor Prince the highest accolades.
Perhaps, it is their job security
that is motivating them to do it this way
– to toe the line of the Senior Pastor
at all costs.
But by doing that,
they are dangerously putting Pastor Prince further
on a pedestal
and making him proud,
and this may well result in his downfall.
It is time to stop pointing people to man
but to God and God alone.
Furthermore, with such Pastors
who constantly sing praises of him,
Pastor Prince has surrounded himself with Yes-men,
who wouldn’t dare to correct him.
Does anybody dare to correct Pastor Prince?
Does Pastor Prince give permission to his staff to correct him
regarding whether he correctly interpreted the many Bible passages
regarding his grace doctrines?
And even if he were to give them permission
to voice out their opinions,
would they dare to say
that 1 John 1:9 was wrongly interpreted by him?
In fact, Pastor Prince operates in such a way
that no other Pastors can check him
and make him account for any wrong doctrines
that he is preaching.
This is where the danger lies.
The truth is, Pastor Prince is accountable to no one
in the body of Christ
regarding the doctrinal aspects of his grace teaching.
He is operating like a lone ranger
regarding his grace doctrine,
submitting to no one except God.
When any preacher starts saying
that he submits only to God,
you can tell straightaway
that he isn’t a true prophet of God.”
As you would have noticed,
none of his Pastors
would dare to disagree with Joseph Prince
as all are beholden to him.
Just listen to the accolades upon accolades
that his Pastors lavish on him
and you will understand why.
It is as if there is a competition
between the Pastors of New Creation Church
to see who can give the best and most accolades
to Joseph Prince.
Hence, it is not difficult to understand
why Lawrence Lim had to speak up for Joseph Prince
in his sermon on 10 Nov 2024, 4 days ago.
Last, while Lawrence Lim told the truth (assumed)
that Joseph Prince emptied his wallet for the Indian Pastor,
he failed to tell the other half of the truth
about how much was in his wallet (with credit cards that are commonly used nowadays, many people don’t carry so much cash.)
And Lawrence Lim also did not tell the other half of the truth
of the humongous amounts of money
that Joseph Prince has earned
from his online sales of books and sermons
during the past 20 over years of his ministry;
and the world is his market.
From that light,
what Joseph Prince gave to the Indian Pastor
is pittance, peanuts,
as compared to the loads of money he had already earned
and is still earning through his Gospel Partner Programme.
