So you rather they go indoor stadium and pay 3 to 6 time the amount?Those churches are big not in terms of building size, but member size.
There's alot of churches expending but many can't match the size of those. If you are a pastor and you have soo many member what you do?
They are doing the great work. The Lord will take away their candle stick if they are not going by the gospel. I have more concern with churches that don't grow at all.
Not ppl donate and do charities are good. Yet you found porn in their computer...Jesus sees the heart.
Do look at the members will determin the maturity of the church. If it's all children it a sunday school, if majority is teens it's a youth church...etc
totally agree what you have said

John 12:4 But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was later to betray him, objected, "Why wasn't this perfume sold and the money given to the poor? It was worth a year's wages." He did not say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief; as keeper of the money bag, he used to help himself to what was put into it.
Jesus wasn't penniless.
ok..im sorry that i said he was penniless.i was actually driving the point of he is penniless as compared to mordern day mega churches that earn 10s of mils a year.(not adjusted for inflation and taxes both in jesus day and now)
jesus had some travel money and i believe judas was the treasurer right?n the verse u quote is the one where a woman had given a bottle of perfume to jesus for anointing him ya?
Originally posted by [illvsion revived]:Jesus is mobile and his audience is 4000 - 5000 not counting woman and children. How to build a church. He taught in the temple and yet ppl want to stone him.
Romans 14:17 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Why learn about the kingdom to come?
Luke 17:20 Once, having been asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, "The kingdom of God does not come with your careful observation, nor will people say, 'Here it is,' or 'There it is,' because the kingdom of God is within you."
Don't be confuse it's not heaven He's refering to.
yeah,if only he built a church,he would have made millions too.but thats not what he wanted ya..he went mobile cuz he knows the end is near and he wants as many people to know the truth as possible.
y learn about the kingdom to come?cuz the end is near.jesus taught in his model prayer that we ask for God's kingdom and sanctifying God's name and his will as top priority.then comes for asking the forgiveness of our sins.
n nope,im not thinking of heaven.

i heard that rumor true.n was testified true by some members of the church too..no wonder her sales volume so high..the things she sings...so so secular n nothing scriptural about it..

hmm..i was saying churches nowadays..why so uptight???is it not true that many churhces are more concerned about how much money they are making rather then spiritual growth and if they are actually doing works pleasing to God??
relax,im not targeting just your church..neither am i the only one targeting your church... =)
Originally posted by youyayu:there is no source.. no nothing. don't belive everything u see
no idea if such a Holy stone was actually in existence and being bought by some fools at high prices..but i guess my main point is about holy artifacts..not the fools that bought any if any..
Originally posted by youyayu:good.. u go be a beggar and i be a CEO some company

if im a beggar and i m doing God's work,preaching his happy ways. the world will hate me bcuz im no longer of this world.yet happy i m bcuz im made enemy of the world bcuz of God and jesus i suffered.
u are a ceo that is rich and powerful,can buy watever u want in this world yet not able to buy a slot to get to paradise.the world loves you for your father is the devil and not God.when this wicked system is swept away by God's mighty arm.where whould u hide your worthless paper money by then?knowing that for being a friend to the world, u made God, the creator of the universe your enemy..
guess you would be happy that way??btw, is that also a teaching of your church??beggars are unhappy people and only ceos are the happy lot??guess i m correct that certain churches are only concerned about teaching material wealth..

Originally posted by youyayu:and you think is funny? tell me your religon and i make fun of it then tell you that i am joking
ask yourself this, are you so agitated because someone has insulted your church,your beloved pastor or is it someone has insulted the true God you profess to love.or is it just some gods that man had made to worship and recruited more people to join?
if the word of God is in you,would you have said such a thing??where is the mild-temperness of Jehovah God that should have being in you if you are his true follower?where is the love for the enemy?perharps when u dwell more in scriptural truth, you will understand more.
btw, i did see much anger frm a fellow chc boy,even harsh language to a mentally unsound old lady at the coffeeshop opp the jurong west chc back den when i was attending chc services.
I wonder if they have a Country Harvest Church?

hey, guys, if you have not yet to grasp the facts in the bible of who Jesus is during his earthly ministry then don't use any of it.
Jesus is the Son of God, (everyone who believe knows) But Jesus was a carpenter before his ministry got started. at that point of time, carpentry is considered as one of the professional jobs if brought into modern context. Seamless was His robe that he wore, and if the robe is not precious or expensive, why would the roman soldiers cast lot over it?
all of his disciples were rich men, fishermens, unlike now, they were professionals. and same goes to the rest. when Jesus told the disciples to feed the congregation or the crowd of thousands, have he thought of it" will they have the money to pay for it?", No, He just gave the orders to do so. because he knew that they have the money to do so.
Our God is heaven is El Shaddai, God of all sufficiency, or simple said, God of more than enough. He is never El "Cheapo". so Don't you dare go around and claim that christian should be poor or living a just enough lifestyle. if Abraham have so much of property and herds that he cannot stay in the same land as his nephew Lot, then we of the modern world of today should use all our creativity to think of being the "head and not the tail" being a leader in the society now! instead of whinning or mocking at something that you will never get to establish, why not do something constructive to your future and for your children and your children's children.
and if you claim that christian's should not want to have material wealth, then tommorrow, first thing in the morning, go sell your every thing and give everything away and try to live a non material life.. i can say not even 3 days you will not be able to take it. in this material world, you want to say something, you got to be a someone in your net worth, only then people want to listen.
understand the facts and the reality of this broken world now! open your eyes to see now.
and don't verbally abuse the church, when you don't see the real things happening.

Exodus 12:35 The Israelites did as Moses instructed and asked the Egyptians for articles of silver and gold and for clothing.
Exodus 35:21 and everyone who was willing and whose heart moved him came and brought an offering to the LORD for the work on the Tent of Meeting, for all its service, and for the sacred garments.
You statement not only attacked the church but also implied that the members are stupid... They gave because they are willing and who heart is moved by God. And they know that it is the Lord that give them the power to get wealth. Unless they are forced to, it's a different story.
Deuteronomy 8:18 “And you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.
Deuteronomy 15:10 Give generously to him and do so without a grudging heart; then because of this the LORD your God will bless you in all your work and in everything you put your hand to.
Give if you believe, don't give if you do not believe. We have seen those who do "charity" got axed and I believe it's not coincident.
