How far would you go to preach the gospel? Pastor Rony's recent furore in the papers started me thinking about this. After all, we have been told to "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Matt 28:19

And, him being called up by the ISD would be classified as a persecution.

^"That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. " 2nd Cor 12:10

like this call persecution? thats another looney in the making. go have your brain check up dude.

TS, the best is let actions speak more than words, live by examples - this will be good testimony to others (both christians and non christians alike).

Rooney9 SG

I am disgusted by his choice of words, persecution. in fact this word made me want to puke. Rony Tan is clearly in the wrong and the overzealous christian have the cheek to categorised this as persecution. I truly rest my case here.

Fantagf SG

haiz! I kind of understand TS' sentiment but do not agree with it.

And I was wondering how come followers of Christianity seem to became less aggressive in the world today than during the medieval period when some of them clearly still hold the same beliefs as christians and their leaders living back then...just a show for the world and misled people?

To some Christians (especially the fundies), this would be persecution but we know how they think: "It's alright to persecute non-believers but not alright when we got "persecuted."

or the fact a lady managed to sue Mcdonalds for not telling her the coffee is hot

did you read his comments on ISD warning of Rony Tan, he has the gall to say its persecution? he was let off lightly in a draconian country in Singapore, a slap on his wrist

I personnal feel that the quote you quoted, imo, seem like the pples are slaves and he is the master. Something like that.

I feel uneasy with it.

But then, it's up to individual to decide. Not me.

TS is just like a slave and a master. Same mind and same brain. Should be careful with him.

read the verse again carefully, there is a big difference between preaching the gospel and making disciples. Have you ever thought about what it means to be a disciple? What is a disciple as opposed to being a convert which is the main job of christianity. Two very distinct and different things.
