Comments on: Thoughts on New Creation Church – Some random thoughts http://www.stillhaventfound.org/2009/09/30/thoughts-on-new-creation-church-some-random-thoughts/ declaring and bringing heaven here on earth Mon, 06 Feb 2012 03:31:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Ruth Garasi http://www.stillhaventfound.org/2009/09/30/thoughts-on-new-creation-church-some-random-thoughts/#comment-173079 Ruth Garasi Fri, 20 Jan 2012 07:12:30 +0000 http://www.stillhaventfound.org/?p=628#comment-173079 I have been listening to JP's dvds for the past 5 days since I've been snowed in. Outside, the snow falls and swirls softly, like my mind as it contemplates on JP's sermons and I flip to scriptures. I have spent hours listening, crying, and rejoicing. I know our Mighty God is healing me from past scars and it is beautiful how He works with each of us in the most intimate level. Although I am at my worst at the moment (unemployed and dealing with a difficult teenager), I have deep lasting joy and peace! I know my struggles will be conquered because God is good, He keeps His promises, and He listens to my prayers. He is good counsel, turn to Him. I will be patient as His timing is perfect. God bless!

My personal goal is to unite Christian churches to the message of the Gospel -- the Essential. And NOT argue about the non-essentials. For me the non-essential can summed up in this statement: "Arguments about who is saved, who isn't, who is no longer and who is saved forever --among the SAVED!" For the love of God, let us focus more on those who don't know God and those who don't know they need God. Our God is a God of knowledge; He doesn't care who's more intelligent among us. All He cares about is who loves Him with all his/her heart, soul, mind and strength. And who loves his/her neighbor as he/she loves him/herself (Mark 12:30-31). He wants people to know Jesus! We should all set this hundreds-of-years-long issue and let God explain in due time. Now let's focus on the lost! May Pastor Prince's ministry reach out more souls. May Cesar Castellano's ministry reach more souls. May Hillsong Church reach more [singing] souls. May all "Christians" focus on the reason they're labeled such -- Christ.

Tue, 15 Jun 2010 06:32:50 +0000 http://www.stillhaventfound.org/?p=628#comment-119295 I was so surprised that CHC wrote this in their Harvesttime. QUOTE a prominent megachurch pastor says, “When you come under the law by trying to keep God’s commandments in order to be blessed, it will lead to death. There will be deadness in your marriage, ministry, health, career.” The message is clear: the Ten Commandments are unnecessary, oppressive, and maybe even downright evil. UNQUOTE I can't believe that as a senior pastor he wrote this and took out of context what NCC is teaching. NCC never said that the law is evil instead they said they are holy.

I wish that those who are intrigued by JP's teachings would read his book to understand his theology. That would help to rid off the unnecessary differences. Cheers :) Hi stillhavenotfound,

I can't remember everything now but I think my general impression is that while I wouldn't agree with everything you've written on JP, I think you've been quite reasonable and fair in your posts. I look forward to any future posts you have on his theology and maybe I'll drop some comments there. Regarding your post, I think you do represent JP correctly regarding his stance against sin. I think he would be able to specify what are sins, although as you rightly pointed out, that is not his main concern in his preaching and ministry. Regarding his view of the ten commandments, this post was actually meant to be an introduction to a series of posts on the ten commandments. So I'll have more to say about that soon, but I do think you represent him fairly - after all, it's mostly quotes directly from his book. Cheers :) Hi Joshua,

Due to my series of critical review on Joseph Prince's book, I have received emails from concerned fellow believers who misunderstand JP. There are a few classmates around me who simply criticize JP's teaching without reading his book or attended NCC. In view of that, I have decided to write a post to clarify one particular misconception on JP. http://szezeng.blogspot.com/2009/09/appendix-1-joseph-prince-sins-and-10.html See if I represent JP correctly when you are free. I do not want to play 'strawmen games.' Blessings. Hi Stillhavenotfound,
