Thoughts on Joseph Prince

 - Thoughts on Joseph Prince - 

Joseph Prince 

appears on the surface - without examination

to be a good Bible teacher.

YET,

on closer observation and investigation, we find that

his teaching is filled

with

half truths and twisted truths

and the result is

he puts himself

in clear opposition to God's truth.

His smooth delivery, his confidence, his charisma

and his emphasis on God's love

draw many people to him. 

I (Beth) have personally known several people

who went off the rails spiritually

after

watching him regularly. 

Because of that,

I have personally done my homework on this man.

In my opinion, he is clearly

The Most Dangerous Preacher

I am aware of.

My Wisdom Rule is...

When someone is wrong about

key foundational doctrines of Christianity -

I do not trust that person to teach me anything about the Bible.

This page will explain

the most dangerous teachings of Joseph Prince.

Guide to this Page

Joseph Prince

has an unbiblical view of each of these topics...

Part 1

Repentance 

Joseph Prince has a false interpretation of repentance.

Part 2

Conviction of Sin

Joseph Prince opposes godly conviction of sin

and falsely says - 

The Holy Spirit does not convict believers of sin.

Part 3

10 Commandments

Joseph Prince falsely says -

Viewing the 10 commandments will make you more likely to sin.

He teaches people to avoid

looking at or reading the 10 commandments.

Part 4

Sin - consciousness

Joseph Prince promotes a false "sin - consciousness" doctrine.

He teaches people to avoid Scriptures about obedience to God.

He teaches people to avoid being aware of their sins.

Part 5

Miscellaneous topics

Part 1

I will share a

very helpful video for this topic.

To begin

Joseph Prince twists the meaning of

and significance of

Repent and Repentance.

In Addition

Joseph Prince

 gets the 

simple meaning of  repent

totally...

WRONG.

Yet

All through the Bible,

it was clear to all

that repentance was important

AND

that repent had to do with

being sorry for your sins and asking God to forgive you,

and turning away from your sins.

Yes,

the wicked people of Nineveh understood

what repent meant.

Please read Jonah 3:8-10.

They cried out to God

mightily in sorrow for their sins

and

turned from their evil ways.

And 

Matthew 4:17

tells us that

Jesus preached to all a message of,

"Repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand."

Zacchaeus

certainly understood what repent meant.

(Luke 19)

And

Jesus

even told Christians in the Book of Revelation

chapters 2 and 3

to REPENT of their sins.

Joseph Prince

* twists the biblical definition of repenting

His twisting of the truth

includes

* downplaying the need for sorrowfully asking God for forgiveness,

* ignoring the need to change your behavior,

*and discouraging people from thinking about the topic of sinning.

Joseph Prince says that

talking about sin or reading the 10 commandments

 - or other Scriptures about sin - 

makes people

more likely to sin.

God disagrees with him.

In the following video,

Joseph Prince puts unbiblical words

into

the mouth of the apostle Paul.

I remind you that

Paul writes in

2 Corinthians 7:10

that

godly sorrow > leads to repentance >  that leads to salvation.

(Worldly sorrow is just sorrow at getting caught.)

As you watch the video -

keep

  2 Corinthians 7:10

  in mind

Note for Clarity

Note for clarity:

You do not need to know

what

Hyper Grace 

means

to understand this video. 

Further down the page, I will explain what it is. 

Disclaimer: I do not know anything about the man who made this video. I am only putting my approval on THIS video.

Scriptures given in the above video

Mark 1;14-15  Luke 13:3  Luke 24:45-47  Luke 15:3-7  John 16:8-11  Galatians 3:24 
Acts 17:30  Acts 8:22  Acts 26:19-20  Acts 2:36-38  Acts 3:19  Revelation 2:4-5 
Revelation 3:19  

Joseph Prince

teaches that

the only thing you have to do to be saved is

"Believe."

And by

" Only Believe, "   

Prince means...

we should

take out the biblical view of the need for

 * godly sorrow,

* asking God to forgive your sins (by repenting)

and

* changing your mind and actions toward sin.

Joseph Prince twists the meaning of "Believe."

Even the devil believes that
Jesus died on the cross for the sins of people.

Believing that Jesus died for your sins does not make you saved from hell.

Believe is more than that.

Actually,

the Bible word "believe" means...

We are to believe IN Jesus

 - IN what he said and taught - 

and believe so solidly that we 

actively

 become a disciple who follows Jesus.

It means we have a heart to

Obey Jesus.

Obedience includes

godly sorrow and repenting and turning from sin. 

The Greek grammar and the word translated -

"Believes" in John 3:16 - 

does not mean

"believe" one time

but it means to "continue to believe."

See 1 John 2:3-6.

The Bible is clear on the need for people to repent to God.

Repent means...

I prayerfully and sincerely ask God to forgive me of my sin

and then

in my heart,

I decide to give effort to try to turn from that sin

and instead follow the commands of Jesus and the Bible. 

Part of

true repenting

is

Turning from that sin.

When you Repent.....

You change your mind

about

what is acceptable behavior in your life.

The following section shows what

Paul

REALLY

Taught and Believed. 

On the above video,

Joseph Prince was taking a

 short portion of a "sermon" by Paul

and molded it

into a

false Joseph Prince doctrine. 

Joseph Prince

is ignoring the Full Gospel Message that Paul taught.

I remind you that

Paul taught that salvation involves godly sorrow and repentance.

2 Corinthians 7:10.

Let's Continue to Look at

what Paul was clearly teaching about salvation

in Acts 26.

Please look with me

at - 

Acts 26:20

NKJV

Paul says....

I declared first

to those in Damascus and in Jerusalem,

and throughout all the region of Judea,

and then  to the Gentiles,

that they should repent,

turn to God,

and

do works befitting repentance.

²¹ For these reasons

the Jews seized me in the temple and tried to kill me.

For more clarity -

Let's look at that verse

AGAIN

in the AMP version

Acts 26:20

AMP

Paul says....

I openly proclaimed first to those at Damascus, then at Jerusalem and throughout the region of Judea, and even to the Gentiles, that they should repent

[change their inner self—their old way of thinking]

and turn to God,

doing deeds and living lives

which are consistent with repentance.
²¹ Because of this some Jews seized me in the temple and tried to kill me.

Also see Acts 20:21

Take Note:

In that same "sermon" Prince highlighted, if you look at Acts:13:24 in the NLT translation, it clearly brings out the truth that Prince doesn't understand as he reads some of the other versions.

The Bereans

In Acts 17:11,

we read that

the Berean people were complimented

because they took the words of Paul and checked them out

with Scripture

(with Old Testament Scripture)

to see if what he was saying was true.

The Bereans

checked Paul out!

How much more

should we check out

the words of Joseph Prince

to see if they agree with the Bible!

Joseph Prince's book

"Destined to Reign"

Chapter 18,

pages 231-232

Joseph falsely says...

“…many of us have the impression that

repentance

is something that involves mourning and sorrow. 

However, that is not what the Word of God says. 

 > Repentance just means changing your mind.”

WRONG!

2 Corinthians 10:9

Paul says,

"Now I rejoice,

not that you were made sorry,

but that your sorrow led to repentance."

As we have previously pointed out,

2 Corinthians 7:10

DOES say that sorrow is involved in repentance.

The Greek word translated repentance does mean "change your mind."

But it is more than that - as the link below reveals.

Greek word "repent"  https://biblehub.com/greek/3340.htm

My question to Prince is - 

Change

your mind

about what?

His answer SHOULD be - 

Change your mind about continuing to do that sin!

But that would not be his answer. He always downplays sin.

For those interested -  - the video link below shows Prince's teaching

about "changing your mind" -

Note:

There is no turning from sin

in Prince's teaching.

Comment from under the video linked above...

"This man simply scratched itching ears.
He spoke nothing of substance
and condemned preaching against sin. Unbelievable."

When you Repent - 

You change your mind

about

what is acceptable behavior in your life.

John 14:23

Jesus said,

"If you love me, you will obey me."

Practice

Below are

people practicing their musical instrument.

That picture relates to us.

1 John

explains to us that

we either

practice

righteousness (obedience to God)

or

lawlessness (disobedience to God).

-

" Practice "

has the idea of

practicing a musical instrument

in order to get better at it.

 1 John 2:29 NKJV

If you know that He is righteous,

you know that

everyone who practices righteousness is born of Him.

1 John 3:10 NKJV

In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest:

Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God,

nor is he who does not love his brother.

Years ago,

I read through Joseph Prince's book,  "Destined to Reign,"

and collected the quotes I'm using on this page. 

In the book,

he has a "Prayer of Salvation"

but it has no biblical repenting in it. 

Name Change

Joseph Prince

intentionally picked out

the name "Joseph Prince."

His birth name is

Xenonamandar Jegahusiee Singh.

"Joseph Prince is very popular

because people tend to

end up

feeling comfortable in their sins

after listening to him or reading his books."

More Thoughts on Joseph Prince

Part 2

Part 2

Joseph Prince falsely says,

"The Holy Spirit does not convict people of sin."

-

I suppose that he highlights the exact words

"The Holy Spirit" in with "conviction"

because

only one verse has both those EXACT words in it.

YET - even then - 

he twists the verse to mean just the opposite!!

Beth's First Point

God is convicting people (believers and unbelievers)

of sin

all through the Bible.

Yet Prince disagrees with the Bible.

We see his false statement below....

Joseph Prince "Destined to Reign" Chapter 10, page 121.

" ‘But Pastor Prince, how can I differentiate between the Holy Spirit convicting me of sin and the accuser hurling condemnation at me?’…The bottom line is that the Holy Spirit never convicts you [a believer] of your sins…I challenge you to find a scripture in the Bible that tells you that the Holy Spirit has come to convict you of your sins.  You won’t find any!" 

I will deal with that

one "Holy Spirit" verse

in just a minute.

It is found after the green arrow.

First

let's see what Jesus himself said.

Attention:

Jesus

convicted

Christians

of sin

in

Revelation chapters 2-3. 

For example:

Revelation 3:19 ISV

Jesus said,

"I correct and discipline

those whom I love,

so be serious and repent!"

After

Jesus was raised from the dead,

he

convicted

believers of sin.

We see that 

when he speaks to the believers

in the churches in the book of Revelation.

Cut and Paste:

https://www.biblegateway.com/quicksearch/?qs_version=NKJV&quicksearch=repent&begin=73&end=73

And the book of

Revelation

was not the only time

Jesus convicted people of sin!

NOTE: 

The Holy Spirit is part of the Trinity. 

The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit

are all one.

They are in agreement.

They are NEVER at odds with each other.

The Bible clearly tells us that "God " convicts us of sin

in the Old Testament and the New Testament.

Let's jump to that ONE verse!

As Jesus is telling the disciples about

the work of the Holy Spirit.

Jesus said,

And when he [ Holy Spirit ] comes,

he will convict the world of its sin,

and

of God’s righteousness,

and

of the coming judgment.

John 16:8 NLT

Joseph Prince answers people who point out

John 16:8 concerning this topic

by saying

that Jesus is talking about the world - not believers.

WRONG

That is Wrong,

Christians are IN THE WORLD, we just are not OF the world.

For example,

look at the Scripture below:

And look for the words "in the world."

Paul says,

"Do all things without complaining and disputing,

that you may become blameless and harmless,

children of God without fault

in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation,

among whom

you shine as lights in the world."

Philippians 2:14-15 NKJV

> >  In Addition < <

Look at God convicting believers
in
Hebrews 12:5-6 NKJV

(I also encourage you to read verses 7-11.)

And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons:
“My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord, Nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him;
⁶ For whom the Lord loves He chastens, and scourges every son whom He receives.”

The Hebrew word translated "rebuked" in Hebrews 12:5
is the
same Hebrew word translated "convict" in John 16:8.

Without

carefully

examining and investigating Prince,

he sounds so convincing.

The next video,

continues to bring clarity to this topic.

Disclaimer: I do not know anything about the man who made this video. I am only putting my approval on THIS video.

Below are - Scriptures used in the above video -

Hebrews 12:5  -  Hebrews 12:7-8  -  Revelation 3:19  -  Matthew 18:15 -   1 Timothy 5:19-20 

2 Timothy 4:2  - 2 Timothy 3:16

As the above video points out,

Sometimes

God even wants

Christians to "convict" other Christians of their sins.

For Example,

2 Timothy 4:2 NKJV

" Preach the word!

Be ready in season and out of season.

Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching."

And many other Scriptures
such as James 5:19-20, Titus 2:15, 2 Timothy 4:1-4, and Galatians 6:1.

Alternately,

Joseph Prince tells us

not to uncover our sins or anyone else’s.

Beth says...

That idea is ridiculous and unbiblical.

Not to mention
you cannot be
a parent, a mentor, a counselor,
or a
judge in a courtroom, etc.
under his definition.

See our page - Does the Bible ever tell us to judge?

A vital question - 

Why

would

Joseph Prince promote the idea that 

God

does not convict Christians of current sins they do?

I cannot read his mind.

BUT

I can

look at the results of such teaching....

It produces people who

easily

ignore their sins

and

easily

conclude that sin is no big deal.

Comment from Person

who went to his church for 2 years,

"Joseph Prince said that

we did not have to

confess our sins,

and that by doing so

it will make us “sin-conscious”

and

make us doubt our salvation. "

Another comment from a previous member of

his church,

".Joseph Prince’s teachings made me numb to sin. "

Youtube comment

from under one of the videos on this page,

" A "pastor” told me I wasn’t saved

because I said

the Holy Spirit convicts people.

He kept going back to Joseph Prince as his source

to try and prove

only the unsaved are convicted."

Part 3

Part 3

Joseph Prince falsely says...

Viewing the 10 commandments will make you more likely to sin.

Joseph Prince is in

opposition to the Bible.

This quote is taken from

Joseph Prince’s book “Destined to Reign.”

Chapter 9, page 106

" For generations,

the church has believed that by preaching

the Ten Commandments,

we will produce holiness. 

When we see sin on the increase, we start to preach
more of the law. 

But the Word of God actually says that

 'the strength of sin is the law. '

It also says that

' sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.' 

So the power for the church to overcome sin

is actually found in

being under grace and not in reinforcing the law. 

Preaching more of the law to counteract sin

is like adding wood to the fire!”

WRONG

THAT  Joseph Prince quote is

WRONG.

That is gobbledygook.

Note:

I plan on making a short page about Joseph Prince's
incorrect interpretation and use of the phrase 
 'the strength of sin is the law. ' 

Joseph Prince's entire quote is factually

wrong.

I highlight that Prince said,

"Preaching more of the law to counteract sin

is like adding wood to the fire!”

The Bible says -  the opposite.

Psalm 119:11 AMP says,

"Your word

I have

treasured and stored

in my heart,

that I may not sin against You."

God tells us to

delight

in his laws

and think about them

day and night.

~

Look at - Psalm 1:1-2 AMPC

Note: These verses

speak of the godly man or woman.

( Please take careful notice of verse 2. }

The Scripture says,

"Blessed (happy, fortunate, prosperous, and enviable) is the man who walks and lives not in the counsel of the ungodly [following their advice, their plans and purposes], nor stands [submissive and inactive] in the path where sinners walk, nor sits down [to relax and rest] where the scornful
[and the mockers] gather.

But his delight and desire are in the law of the Lord,
and on His law (the precepts, the instructions, the teachings of God)
he habitually meditates
(ponders and studies)
by day and by night."

Romans 7:22 ESV

Paul tells us 

"For I delight in the law of God, in my inner being."

In verses 7:21-25, Paul highlights
our personal war that God calls us to fight.

The war is between us - 
delighting in the law of God, 
which is pulling us toward obedience - 
and giving into our flesh which is pulling us toward sin.

This is a war that we are supposed to fight.

Note That

in Psalm 119

God tells us HOW to cleanse our ways

 - which means - 

how to purify our actions to become more obedient to God.

Psalm 119:9-11 NKJV

How can a young man cleanse his way?
By
taking heed according to Your word.

¹⁰ With my whole heart I have sought You;
Oh, let me not wander from Your commandments!

¹¹ Your word I have hidden in my heart,
that I might not sin against You.

The Bible tells us that

if

we want to cleanse our ways

which means

 - purify our actions to become more obedient to God - 

then

we should

read God's laws (commandments, commands)

think about God's laws,

delight in God's laws, and even memorize God's laws.

We are to "meditate" on God's word.
The Hebrew word translated "meditate" means
think about it,  ponder it, go over it in your head, speak it out, study." 

https://biblehub.com/hebrew/1897.htm

It does not mean the kind of  "meditate" that is a New Age technique. 

James 1:22 says,

"But be ye doers of the word,

and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves."

When you think

you don't have to try to

obey God -

you deceive yourself.

More Thoughts on Joseph Prince.

Part 4

Part 4

Joseph Prince's false teaching on

Sin - consciousness -

Most False Teachers

such as Joseph Prince

teach us to

ignore sin in our life.

When Joseph Prince

says

we should not be

"sin-conscious,"

he means...

we should

ignore our sins.

God vs. Joseph Prince

God

wants us

to be aware of our sins

so

we can repent and make different choices.

For God to bring about repentance

in our life,

he must

first

give us a knowledge of His standards

(through reading his word)

or

remind us of His standards

(through reading his word)

or simply

stir our heart with conviction of a sin we committed.

If we are not aware of our sins,

we cannot

avoid committing those sins.

God wants us to AVOID committing sins.

BUT -  JOSEPH PRINCE

teaches

The OPPOSITE ! 

-

The Next Section is a

KEY

to the

False Teachings of Prince!

KEY

to 

Prince's False Teachings

God vs. Joseph Prince

The command to obey God

 through doing something or refusing to do something

is stated or implied

in EVERY book of the Bible.

For example,

When God says,

"Do not tell lies,"

he is telling you to exert effort over your self-control

so you do not lie.

When God says,

"Do not lust,"

he is telling you to exert effort to change your thinking.

JOSEPH PRINCE 

teaches the total opposite.

Joseph Prince teaches.....

When lust comes up

in me,

 I'm not going to use my willpower to suppress it.

Why fight an enemy that doesn't exist?

It's dead. It's dead already. The very act of

praying or doing anything against it -

is saying that God's word is a lie. 

Beth says,

THAT is as  Opposite   from the Bible   as you can get!

Joseph Prince teaches people

to ignore their sins.

God Disagrees with Prince

GOD says,

We are to "practice" righteousness.

That takes regularly making right choices.

Scriptures will be given further down.

In order to

" practice  righteousness, "

we

must pay attention

to our

sinful actions

and

make changes.

The little book of

1 John

explains

Practicing Righteousness

versus

Practicing Lawlessness.

1 John 3:2-8

Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. ³ And everyone who has this hope in Him [Jesus]  purifies himself, just as He is pure. ⁴ Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. 

Verse 7

⁷ Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous. ⁸ He who [practices]  sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.

Everyone   sins   sometimes.

The point is -

Are YOU

Practicing  Righteousness  or  Practicing  Lawlessness?

As verse 4 says - Sin is Lawlessness.

Joseph Prince says that reading Scriptures about sin

leads to more sin.

BUT

GOD says...

Thinking about

his laws, his commands, his statutes

leads to LESS sin.

Jesus

shared the

Parable of the Two Sons

to teach us

that

obedience is DOING not just SAYING words.

See Matthew 21:28-31.

The only  sin-consciousness  that Joseph Prince

wants

is

sin-consciousness

concerning

what he calls "mixing grace and law." 

Chapter 20, page 258-259

"When it came to wrong behavior in Corinth, Paul was cool and collected toward the believers.  He was able to handle their wrong behavior because he knew that the grace of God was able to take care of their spree of wrong behavior.  That is why he was able to speak positively to them…But when it came to wrong doctrine in Galatia, he rebuked the believers there because they nullified God’s grace by mixing it with the law.”

WRONG

Look at the red words above -
keep them in mind as you continue to read.

Corinth = The Corinthians church Paul wrote to. 

Joseph Prince said...

"Paul was cool and collected when talking to people in Corinth....

That is why he was able to speak positively to them.

No,

Paul was not cool and collected.

And he did not talk positively to them.

Below  - see what

Paul said in

1 Corinthians 5:11 –

Reader of this page,

does the verse below sound cool and collected?

“But now I am writing to you that

you

must not

associate with

anyone

who claims to be a brother or sister

but is

sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard

or swindler.

Do not even eat with such people.”

Paul was telling us

not

to ignore sin in the church.

2 Corinthians 12:20-21

also

opposes Joseph Prince.

The whole verse is important yet I emphasized the last words of this Scripture reference....

Paul says...

For I fear lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I wish, and that I shall be found by you such as you do not wish; lest there be contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, backbitings, whisperings, conceits, tumults; ²¹ lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and I shall mourn for many who have sinned before and have not repented of the uncleanness, fornication, and lewdness which they have practiced.

Joseph Prince has no emotions over sin -

he does not grieve over sin

as Paul does.

A person who went to Prince's NCC church for 4 years said,

" In NCC, sin was irrelevant once a person says the sinner’s prayer. To be “sin-conscious” as JP likes to point out, was that of the Devil and not of the Holy Spirit."

Person continues...

"Once, after I learned about the horrors of hell elsewhere, I tried to look for a sermon on the topic of hell on Joseph Prince’s website but I could not find a single one."

https://excharismatics.com/2020/01/30/joseph-prince-false-gospel-made-me-a-false-convert-bound-for-hell/

Defining two Important Concepts

The Truth is:

Justification

releases us from the eternal penalty of sin.

Justification is done by God

when we repent of our sins and

accept Jesus as Savior and Lord of our life.

("Jesus as our Lord" indicates that we will obey him.)

Sanctification

releases us from the POWER of sin.

It is a process

and we must cooperate.

Sanctification is not done by God alone.

Sanctification

is done by us

choosing to

work with the Holy Spirit 

which results in obeying the Words of God.

As we follow the nudging of the Holy Spirit,

we become more and more obedient.

This is a life-long process.

This means that we are choosing to yield to the Holy Spirit.

Comments from people concerning Joseph Prince

And Closing Comments

There is now no condemnation

Prince quotes only - PART -  of Romans 8:1.

Joseph Prince "Destined to Win"

Chapter 12, pages 147-148 says,

“‘But Pastor Prince, what happens when I sin?’ 

Well, does ‘NOW’ cover the moment when you sin?

  Of course it does. 

‘There is therefore now no condemnation…’ is a ‘now’ verse. 

The declaration is true every moment, every day.  It is true in the morning.  It is true in the night. 

And when tomorrow comes, it is still true. 
There is presently, continuously, no condemnation for you
because you are in Christ!”

There is now

no condemnation for

WHO?

Romans 8:1 NKJV

" There is therefore now no condemnation to those

who are in Christ Jesus,

 who do not walk

according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. "

Let's Be Clear....

In Romans 8:1 (see above)

Joseph Prince leaves OUT the blue words.

He quotes ONLY part of the verse.

This verse

is not

good news for people

who "believe" there is a God

but

live their life in agreement with the devil.

How to Know if You are Saved

How to know

if you are saved from hell?

1 John 2:3-6

explains how to tell

if you are a True Christian.

It says,

" Now by this

we know that we know Him,

if

we keep His commandments.

⁴ He who says, “I know Him,”

and does not keep His commandments, is a liar,

and the truth is not in him.

⁵ But whoever keeps His word,

truly the love of God is perfected in him.

By this

we know that we are in Him [Jesus].

⁶ He who says he abides in Him [Jesus]

ought himself also to walk just as

He [Jesus] walked.

NKJV Version

Only 2 choices:

You will be

transformed by God

or

you will be

conformed to the world.

Romans 12:2 AMP

 And do not be conformed to this world [any longer with its superficial values and customs], but be transformed and progressively changed [as you mature spiritually] by the renewing of your mind [focusing on godly values and ethical attitudes], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect
[in His plan and purpose for you].

Proverbs 19:27 CSB

If you stop listening to correction, my son,
you will stray from the words of knowledge.

What did Jesus Say?

Then Jesus said to

his disciples,

"All

who want

to follow me

must say

 - no - 

to

themselves,

take up their cross,

and follow me."

 Matthew 16:24

Comments & Thoughts

concerning 

Joseph Prince.

Back in 2003 when The Holy Spirit convicted me and I realized that If I died I'd go to hell, was when I asked Jesus to forgive me.

His love was overwhelming and this newness of life consumed me. I started crying profusely and ask God to show me how to really love others and be kind to people.

I turned on the TV the next day after work to watch "Christian television" and saw Creflo Dollar talk about love  - and honestly it was like the words of the Bible were just jumping off the pages onto my heart. I said this man has to be a man of God.

After following his teaching close for years I could count on one hand, if that, there was no talk of repentance of sin. It was constant health and wealth sermons where me as a baby Christian loved hearing because after all He is God and wants the best for us.

Same thing was taking place with so many other TBN preachers.

I know that I'm responsible for my actions however due to the lack of true preaching of God's Word there was never anything I heard to address my sexually immoral ways.

I wound up backslidden and leaving the church.

Again I'm responsible for my actions and blame no one else. I wonder how many others are in that position and imagine wow only if they just heard sound doctrine and men of God who are responsible with the text.

When the Lord who is rich in mercy drew me back a light bulb flashed over my head and what do you know, it was about turning from sin the whole time.

I'm so grateful to God for that revelation because that's the only way we're going to have relationship with Him.

Joseph Prince was also someone I listened to in the late 2000's and thought he was full of wisdom and listened to him for a little but now just like I view Creflo it's an excellent example of how televangelist eisogete the scripture. It's really disgusting and disturbing. Regardless of the fact, God will use whoever however to bring you to him. I do pray the likes of these men do get granted mercy from God before it's too late! 

Thoughtful Comments from a Joseph Prince video -

We need Jesus because we are sinners and God is so Holy.

We must flee sin, not casually wade in it!

Motivational minister Joseph Prince

leads the deceived to where a wide mouth to hell awaits the unrepentant.

Thoughtful Comment from a Joseph Prince video -

He says that the Lord is raising ministers of righteousness.

Does he know that a

minister of righteousness

gets a lot of trouble from the world

because their lifestyle preaches against sin

and that they call out sin and exhort people to repent?

Why does he not focus on how to deal with that...

Instead it always goes hand in hand with prosperity.

I made a righteous decision to tell my married boss

his affair with his secretary cannot be accepted

and I did not get the promotion.

My colleague got promoted because she told him the affair is not her business.

Why does he not focus on that aspect of being righteous?

This is no preacher! This is an ear soother and hypocrite!!!!

Comment from under a Hyper Grace video:

Hypergrace is such a dangerous thing!
It takes away man taking responsibility for his actions
and
leaves a form of subtle entitlement!
Taking responsibility for your sinful ways
is the
humility
God requires to start a good work in you!
It is there you realize
you cannot save yourself and you need
the gift of salvation only Christ offers!
No one on this planet preaches hyper grace more than JP!

Beth says,

"If I have gained ANY clout in your eyes,

please reject Joseph Prince

OR at least

continue to do research on him."

I quickly read his entire book

"Destined to Reign"

at a bookstore.

I sat down with a pen and paper to copy the dangerous quotes.

I did not want to even bring that book into my home.

I do not listen to his voice.

For this page,

I put the videos on closed captioning so I would not

have to hear his voice...

I believe he is that spiritually dangerous. 

Psalm 119

Psalm 119 is a Beautiful Psalm.

It is about

a Wise Person

Loving and Respecting God's commands.

The Old Testament and the New Testament

are filled with Scriptures of God telling us to obey his Scriptures.

Below you will find

the first few verses of

Psalm 119 in the Living Bible Translation.

 Consider getting your Bible

and looking it up in your favorite translation....

Happy are all who perfectly follow the laws of God. ² Happy are all who search for God and always do his will, ³ rejecting compromise with evil and walking only in his paths.

⁴ You have given us your laws to obey— ⁵ oh, how I want to follow them consistently. ⁶ Then I will not be disgraced, for I will have a clean record.

⁷ After you have corrected me, I will thank you by living as I should!
⁸ I will obey! Oh, don’t forsake me and let me slip back into sin again.

⁹ How can a young man stay pure? By reading your Word and following its rules. ¹⁰ I have tried my best to find you—don’t let me wander off from your instructions. ¹¹ I have thought much about your words and stored them in my heart so that they would hold me back from sin.

¹² Blessed Lord, teach me your rules. ¹³ I have recited your laws ¹⁴ and rejoiced in them more than in riches. ¹⁵ I will meditate upon them and give them my full respect. ¹⁶ I will delight in them and not forget them.

¹⁷ Bless me with life so that I can continue to obey you. ¹⁸ Open my eyes to see wonderful things in your Word. ¹⁹ I am but a pilgrim here on earth: how I need a map—and your commands are my chart and guide. ²⁰ I long for your instructions more than I can tell.

²¹ You rebuke those cursed proud ones who refuse your commands— ²² don’t let them scorn me for obeying you. ²³ For even princes sit and talk against me, but I will continue in your plans.

²⁴ Your laws are both my light and my counselors.
