well obviously this thread is not closed as yet. heh.
anyways, just my simple point of view on CHC:
1. I don't get the point of building such a grand church. Isn't
church supposed to be a community for fellow worshippers? I have a
friend who is in CHC and I asked her whether she knows this guy
from CHC and the reply was "I don't know. the church is so big."
Doesn't this defeat the meaning of the word "community"? In this
sense CHC is not a community anymore, whereas it's just a big
building for many worshippers. Correct me if I'm wrong.
2. The funds involved in building the present-day CHC is
ridiculous. I don't understand the need for such a big building.
Shouldn't the funds be channelled into charitable
organisations?
3. I simply REFUSE to believe the notion that CHC people DO NOT try
to invite people to CHC. Heck the objective of building such a big
church is to attract more people in the first place. Don't give me
bullshit about appearances being material because in the first
place, the point of building a big building is to accomodate more
people. And we have just about more than enough evidences here from
fellow forumers about CHC people "inviting" others to join
CHC.
4. This is just a rumour, do correct me if I'm wrong. I've had
heard rumours about CHC asking for 2nd round offerings. I hope this
is false because if it's true, it really reflects the workings of
CHC as a whole.
All in all, this is just my humble point of view(s). The reason
behind me doubting CHC in the first place is because we haven't
seen or heard sufficient or satisfactory explanation from the
church itself. Just like this thread, the replies from CHC
worshippers are either out-of-point, or simply disregarding the
questions we posted in the first place.
Is there really a need to escape our doubts? Or is it just that you
simply have no clarification?
