Dear The Real Singapore,
I am Mr Ng I need your help to post this thanks .
I have been visiting different churches recently .
We are intending to make articles regarding the different churches in Singapore.
With my 5 others friends we were studying in NUS,NTU,SMU, uniSIM and university of London.
In the article we said we were from ITE.
We dressed like hooligan and in clothing with holes like beggar.
We visited this churches: trinity Christian church(Paya Lebar)
City havest church,hope church singapore , Riverlife church , church of Singapore,living santurary brethren church
Since last year June we started our mission to dressed up poorly to visit churches..
We visited various mega church like city havest and trinity Christian church .
This mega church given me repugnant experiences.
Yes there are huge and nice with restaurant and shops to hang out.
The pastor dressed with branded and expensive clothing with tie.
They wore Rolex watches etc.
We went in to the service with piercing and jeans with hole .
At start it was worship after which is announcement and offering.
Among all the announcement the offering was the longest and the verse itself were not accurate .
After the service we went to guest lounge for a visit and learn more about Christianity .
While inquiring about Christianity , they tried to avoid our questions and said that our question are absurd and not relevant.
Trying to get us out of the church by using some harsh words and changing topics.. So by asking about religious psychology,scientific prove and problem Christian faces are absurd?
They criticize us for being poor and hooligan just because we pierce and share that God doesn't like us.
After which we visit smaller churches like hope church singapore , Riverlife church , church of Singapore and living santurary brethren church.
A way smaller church with friendly and welcoming pastor but unfriendly church members.
We visited those church with poor condition clothing and piercing in our ear.
During service they won't peach falsely or specifically focus on offering topic , especially Living santurary church they show the records on the offering they received.
We stayed in this few churches for few months and felt left out as the members are judgmental and criticize non-Christian or when you asked more about Christianity .
During youth camp at those church we went and tried it out.
Whats shocking was we all Heard the tribe leaders and church leaders talking about SATAN???
Speaking things like: maybe we should ask satan to fight for us, eh ask Satan to grab a drinks for me or eh satan love you.
SERIOUSly this what church leaders says during camp????
WHAT KIND OF CHURCH SPEAKS ABOUT SATAN COMMANDING THEM TO DO THINGS FOR YOU?
I like to conclude my visit for those churches were repugnant .
THEY LOOK DOWN ON YOU IF YOU ARE POOR,low qualification and hooligan .
Where are your values goes to?
WHAT MAKES US CHRISTIAN IF WE ARE THE SAME AS OTHER RELIGION LIKE BUDDHISM AND MUSLIM?
They treated the poor way better than Christian? Is this how BIBLES TEACHES US?
CHRISTIANS WAKE UP!
I end off with this verse :
“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’ “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’ “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’ “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.” (Matthew 25:34-46 NIV)
Your faithfully,
Mr Ng.
