A visit to Cash Harvest Cult

I went to City Harvest Church last Sunday to try to save a friend's soul. I have since found that at least 2 other people I know go there, but I have mixed feelings about attempting to save theirs.

Now, I'd read accounts (example) of the place before, but visiting it and experiencing it firsthand was an enlightening experience, both of the slickness of megachurches and the Gospel of Prosperity they preached.

I think it is churches that City Harvest that is preaching a perverse message, a gospel of prosperity, which is anti-Christ : and therefore it functions as a 'cult.' much more than the Catholic church. Who does Pastor Kong answer to ? Where does he get all his money? Who audits the City harvest accounts? How does he justify his gospel of prosperity which I cannot even see in the Bible? Why does he allow his wife to dress like some Hollywood star, with baubles and bright lights, with her top bristling with her nipples to titillate males and inspire LUST? He also said in the straits times he is a BUSINESSMAN. Is this not strange? Catholic priests do not have fabulous salaries or pay rises. But all their medical needs are met, and they have an office and a room and a car provided by their church. I think that is the proper way. If pastors are businessmen, they might as well be brokers and join the stock exchange of Singapore.

And what is all this hard rock band and jumping up and down in church? it sounds more Satanic than righteousness? Is this the justification by faith alone you are talking about - Kiew?

Are you mad or what? Go for a psychiatric examination please. I bleed for lost souls like you who look at a Bible which had books thrown out by a misguided man, Martin Luther!

To Kiew Zhen Yi :

It is indeed disgusting that Singaporeans like you who are obviously illiterate pass judgement on a church that has a tradition going back two thousand years, right to the St Peter, whom we Catholics regard as the first leader or pope of our Catholic church.

First : No church is free from defect. We all have different ways of worshipping God.
Second: Who are you to judge the Catholic church? Are you Jesus Christ - or his appointed judge? We Catholics believe only Jesus Christ has the ultimate authority to judge mankind - which includes both Catholics and Protestants - as well as the pagans.

If you cannot understand Catholicism because of your obvious brainwashed brain, if you have one that is, please go to our Catholic universities or seminaries and study our history, background and the history of the Reformation ... Do not read stupid websites from America, which are filled with biased reports.

We Catholics do not condemn anyone, including Protestants, for their different styles of worship. To condemn is to be self righteous and hypocritical, and stupid. Jesus Christ himself, our Redeemer and God and who all Catholics recognise as God today - reminds us not to judge, for we shall be judged.

Would you like to be exposed as inflaming religious hatred and bigotry against the Catholics here in Singapore, my friend?


This hatred against Catholics and stupidity regarding our beliefs has to be stopped NOW. Do you understand, you silly idiot? Do you know what it is being self righteous, and judgemental and pretending to be the Messiah ? City Harvest Church and its pastors, and Rev Rick Seaward are only human. they have their own defects - they are not in a position to judge us Catholics either. if not for our great Pope John Paul 11, Poland would not have kicked out the communists, and Russian would not have fallen ... Has any Protestant leader - beeen able to inspire a rebellion against a communist regime so easily, has any Protestant leader got the international clout and charisma and influence of the Catholic Pope who has perhaps the highest moral authority on earth.

Please think before you make stupid remarks on this forum - it only shows your shallow understanding of the Bible, the teachings of Christ and the traditions of the Catholic Church. Ignorance may be bliss, but not in this case.

Finally, the Catholic Church is not a cult : it is a Church of believers in Jesus Christ. We believe Christ is the son of God, who now reigns in heaven with his father. He judges our actions, not you protestants ....

So stop making foolish remarks and stop judging us. You are not God. You are just an ordinary human being ...
