Nah, I have better things to do than to poke into your business. What I mean is I don't don't give two fucks about who you are or what you do with your money.
The point is that no one make tithe your income. So, why do you criticise the church for having too much money? Why must you envy them?

What makes you think we envy them in the first place? It is a fact that city harvest is preaching heresy and kong hee is a false prophet. What does this have to do with envy?
Why should I be envious when my church has more than 1 billion people and hundred and thousand times more money than city harvest will ever have!!
What we (traditional christians) and ALL non-christians dislike and hate about city harvest is their antichrist practices and emphasis on material rewards from God to grow their church. THIS IS NOT THE WAY A CHURCH SHOULD BE. THIS IS NOT GOD'S CHURCH.
people like you will never get it..

This thread is about Joseph Prince's pay, not Kong Hee's.
Does your church has 1 billion people? Are you even a Christian?
Anti-Christ practice? There's such a thing call prosperity preaching. If another church's dogma is church-planting, it sticks with it's plan. NCC's dogma is preaching prosperity as a blessing for tithing . Naturally it's about money.
If NCC members are unhappy about this 500k- pay issue, the number will dwindle.
It's their organisation.
You talked as though they've cheated you.

What is the point in talking to you. You are a very ignorant christian. No wonder you are so supportive of JP.
Tell me where in the bible talks about money ? Please point me out a verse?
Do you not know that prosperity preaching is man-made? It is not a doctrine from God. Have you done ANY research on it yourself? Don't just listen to JP and follow what he says.
If you do not know which church has one billion people, it shows you do not know much about christianity. It is now proven by you and many other 'megachurch' goers that they really don't know anything about other churches or denominations AT ALL. They are so ignorant, hence they believe everything their pastor says.
I would urge you to do research on your own before posting here and embarassing yourself. It is also for your own good.
I pray for your true salvation.

Its not envy smuck, I'm a Christian, and when other Christians corrupts the word of Jesus and succumb to greed, it is our duty to criticise. Anyway you're telling us not to poke into other's business, but then here you are pocking in our business. Us criticising them is obviously none of your business, so why do you even bother poking your nose into this?
same as well
why christians poke into non christians affairs by hardselling christ?
to poke or not to poke, thats the question
Imagine that amount raised (19m) and the amount the employee gets(500k) has one or two zeros lesser(19,0000/5000)...
would anyone here make a fuss out of it?
I think it's just jealousy...and 500k is not even the net pay right? how about cpf? If NCC got the money by dirty means, they wouldn't publish that big amount in the papers...

Are you sick or something? How is it logical that a pastor be earning 500k in the first place?
500k may mean nothing to you but it can feed an entire village in a third world country for a year!
As JP has decided to be a pastor, shouldn't he lead a humble life and follow Christ's example? What kind of message is ncc sending out to non-christians out there ??
SHAMELESS

Yes, it's about money and NCC is rich. Otherwise, there won't be any ill-will against NCC.
Are you a Christian? Well, fuck you !

I will not point out the verse/verses for your benefit.
You read 1 Timothy chapter 5.
Do your research and then explain in your own words here in this thread to prove that you understand the chapter.
So you think money is power and can do everything? The current financial crisis (and past / future ones) are a timely reminder that money and the so-called power can disappear overnight. Even the most powerful politicians cannot save themselves.
Matthew 6:19-20 - "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal."
Instead of relying on the our omnipotent God, you are advocating that we build unreliable treasures on earth and depend on them.
Matthew 6:21 - "for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
So, where is your heart residing? God or Money?
What does the prosperity gospel have to say?

Well said!
I'm a christian (traditional church) too. And i totally agree with Bored's reply!
I have attended both NCC and CHC sermons for period of one year. I thank the lord for removing me from these churches now as I am happiler and christianity started to make sense to me now.
Megachurches cherry-pick the scriptures to their own doctrines. Go read Kong Hee's blog and you find he has created a new faith in christianity.
He made comment that his is a "21st" century church. But how can our faith be ever changing? Shouldn't what was left for us be the same 2000 yrs ago and 2000 yrs later?
In his blog he also challenge topics on christianity and cosmestic surgery and tattoo. Kind of condoning them both... I have two tattoos myself and I love tatto art but since my salvation at a "traditional church" I didnt see any reason of getting more tattoos anymore. That's what I called "true Salvation"
Why he is preaching according to his own interpretation? Have we forgotted what the meaning of "gospel" is?
Originally posted by Catknight:$500,000 pay for New Creation Church employee
THE New Creation Church, which made headlines for raising $19 million on one Sunday last month for its upcoming multi-million dollar building, pays good money to its staff too.
The independent church paid one employee between $500,001 and $550,000 in its last financial year, checks by The Straits Times showed.
The church did not confirm if the amount went to its leader, Senior Pastor Joseph Prince, but told The Straits Times that its policy is to 'recognise and reward key contributors to the church and Senior Pastor Prince is the main pillar of our church's growth and revenue'.
Wow, more money than I can ever earn.

But then again, here's a scripture for us to discuss:
"Now the overseer must be above reproach, the husband of but one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money." (1 Tim 3:2-3)
Last sentence says, not a lover of money... It gives others this kind of image that NCC is of that kind... Any NCC people want to give an explanantion how it was being put across in the church. We don't want to speculate...
=)
no lah..all mega churches not lover of moneys..they just preach God's word and God just bless them with riches lor..like how abraham was blessed with tons of sheeps, cattle, servants..money just flow to megachurches de...since they see the followers all follow Jesus' command of not being lovers of money so they safekeep for them lor..except that most prob, they will never give them back so the followers can go to heaven like what they preach lor..think of the i dont go hell who go hell mentality lor..
going along this lines..i think i also want help the poor leaders safekeep their money..i really dont mind going to hell wor..
speaking of doing church work, God's word and getting paid..did anyone know that Jehovah Witnesses are the only people who dont get paid??even in the top management i mean..
actually theres nothing wrong
in preaching about money or etc..
God want to bless us with money too
so that we can put it to good use
and bless others in return
God also know if we got no money
how can we start to bless one another.
Dont flame me
because me not in those mega churches

hehe...flame on...
do the crows reap or sow??do they got fed??if God feeds even them, are you not worth so much more??blessings need not need to be given in terms of money..the blessings God wants us to have is to lead a happy and correct life according to his standards because he knows best..just like a car manufaacturer knows best how a car can perform under what conditions...and how then do we live according to his standards??by doing his will as in the bible..where do we get bible??either buy one or get a free one..it isnt wrong to earn money..because it is a medium of exhange for resources created by God...but too many scriptures shows hoarding excessive money is harmful..we will be too busy with that to live a good life according to his standards..
