How come he said like that?Did buddhism offended him?It is sadden to hear from a pastor.

LOL..what Pastor Rony preached is the truth as the content can only be preached through a personal approached in this religious sensitive society, especially with those religious extremist around.

You know what? He should first and foremost apologise to his congregation for misrepresenting and misleading them.Simi truth some more?

Dark_Zero SG

Now I know why....deep inside one's christian heart, they detest other religions.

That one is "fake" christian heart la. Those who only want the benifits of being Christians, like the popular lie like Christians go heaven other go hell straight. Sadly most people don't follow the truth teaching of Christ any more. If they truely practise what Christ and the Lord wanted, they won't go insult and detest other religion.

Rooney9 SG

its the bible who said hell to those who do not believe isnt it. also other religions are satanic, where do you think came from?

As i mention,it is kinda sensitive in Singapore unlike in some countries especially with those religious extremist around.I do not deny what Pastor Rony did by making the wrong approached in preaching the word of God.

Rooney9 SG

the thing is this, telling non believers you are going to hell and that your religion is satanic, what does it tell you about the religion.

I think it's ridiculus and naive to think that religions, or certain idealogies do not make absolute truth claims. By the very fact of having a particular religion, or idealogy, you are standing by a certain truth claim on the nature of reality, that by default, and the law of non-contradiction, states that any other truth claim in direct contradiction is false and wrong.

All religions, even Buddhism cannot get by without making truth claims on the nature of reality. Buddhism is hardly all-accepting, it pushes a particular perspective of reality that by default contradicts the truth claims put forward by other idealogies and religions and by logical extension... are already claiming that they are false.

The problem is not who is right or wrong, that is a different debate. The problem is how people who believe their way is right CANNOT engage those who do not share their views in a sensitive and fair way that treats others with respect.

For example if you somehow believe it's safe to cross the road while a truck is speeding down it and I try to tell you that you will die if you jaywalk and get hit by the truck, I am not cursing you to die or being a bigot. If I go about it by telling others how stupid you are to jaywalk and the like then I am being insensitive and tactless, but not factually wrong on the matter.

So I am sorry Rooney9, but you are missing the whole point of the issue.

dadeadman1337 SG

The fact is, even if you believe your religion to be true, don't say the connotations out loud

laurence82 SG

its wrong, always, i dont why i see even in fb some christians say its the wrong approach

its not, its just wrong, thats all, he didnt even get his facts right, or that his thinking is wrong

Larryteo SG

People with no status can get jailed for this, but dear pastor only gets a warning. how did he even become pastor with such attitude? i think i should go become pastor too, can get protected.

EASY. He has relations with LKY.

Who knows. Just my guess.

Almost all christians are insenstive and rude. Frankly i also think most people don't understand and follow the truth teaching of Christ any more. They can be jumping and leaping and praising God, but it is insult to language to classify them as saints. Religion is a stumbling block; it made you think you are safe that you are on the way to heaven and you an impression that your religion is superior reality of all things. If you want to be good guy, be good :)

Please do not put your thought into people mindset of what you think you is the right path.I believed what you pursuing is obtaining self righteousness displaying you are on the right path.The greatest of all is to love people and forgive them for wrong doing inspite of speaking the truth yet presenting it in a wrong ways.I love the Pastor having the courage admit his wrong doing and make an apologize to the affected parties.Only carnal people want the justification and the penalty for a mistake he made since he already made an amendment.

likeyou SG

have a friend, he attend a talk, and experienced similar insensitive speech in another Church. The audience laughing, clapping hands and enjoying the talk by a Pastor. People are leading into the wrong path. Kind of sad to hear that from my friend.

Wacky Sung SG

It vital for your friend to attend a church which focus on the gospel of Jesus,otherwise you will get misleaded by those preaching.May be you can try my church and you very much welcome.

Fantagf SG

I advise you do not feed that troll. that troll and rony are of the same kind.

Hahahah

RoyFang SG

While it's heartening that not all Singaporean Christians are like that pastor or his followers but while religious harmony is something that we instill to reduce the impact of religious conflicts it's sad that sometimes it's used to cover up actions of bigots like this pastor.

I always have been suspicious of churches today, the way they tries to modernize the religion or those Mega-Churches...sadly religions of today's world haven been constantly used for wrong-doings.

Thks again.

fearless1311 SG

And this is why theres still plenty of wars going on....SIGH

Arrogance,Stupidity,Pride,Politics.....LOL,take your pick.

In the end, we're full of excuses.

SingaporeTyrannosaur SG

Problem I feel sometimes, especially in the modern evangelical movement is this need to try to control what the members think. It's an extremely disturbing trend.

In my previous church, there was a very strong thought police in action. Just about hint that you thought different was reason enough to earn the disapproval or alienation of the group, and they'll constantly try to make life difficult for you, simply by being of the belief that since you thought differently on an issue, you were somehow less important then those.

So no, I am not too surprised such an attitude would carry on to other things.
