<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Job 2:3 - Then the Lord said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil. </span><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">And he still maintains his integrity,</span> </b><span style="font-size: large;">though you incited me against him to ruin him without any reason.</span></span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Job 2:9 - His wife said to him, "</span><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Are you still holding on to (maintaining) your integrity</span></b><span style="font-size: large;">? Curse God and die!"</span></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Job 27:5,6 - I will never admit you are in the right; </span><span style="font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">till I die, I will not deny (maintain) my integrity. I will maintain my righteousness and never let go of it;</span><span style="font-size: large;"> my conscience will not reproach me as long as I live.</span></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Wow so this Senior Pastor also been regularly using the same words 'I do maintain my integrity' as is used in the book of Job. So what is portraying himself to be? That his being put on trial is because of a contest between Satan and God? That it does not matter to him how severe this trial and the consequences of the sentence will be when he is found guilty because as long as he does not deny his faith in God, that non-denial is proof that he is innocent of all charges. Wow, so now the man is portraying that he is just a pawn of heaven is it? No wonder God has to apologize to him for making him undergo this trial.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It would be better for him to read Psalm 73:9-19; Their mouths lay claim to heaven, and their tongues take possession of the earth. Therefore their people turn to them and drink up waters in abundance. They say, "How can God know? Does the Most High have knowledge?" This is what the wicked are like---always carefree, they increase in wealth. Surely in vain have I kept my heart pure; in vain have I washed my hands in innocence.... When I tried to understand all this, it was oppressive to me till I entered the sanctuary of God; then I understood their final destiny. Surely you place them on slippery ground; you cast them down to ruin. How suddenly are they destroyed, completely swept away by terrors!</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">For some pride is their necklace</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">This is the book (Vol 1 & Vol 2) that contained the plagiarised articles from different writers e.g. Buzzell and Boa, Rick Warren, Prince, etc. Furthermore, the book has been translated into Malay and Mandarin as well. Isn't that a lot of money from the sales proceeds? Let's say congregation size minus visitors is 25K pax. That means 25000 x 2 books x $14 equals how much? Easily $700K. And I am sure the cool moneyed crowd will buy more than 2 to "encourage" him and give to their friends. Even if half the 25k people buy 1 set, that is easily $350K. On top of that, it is translated into Malay & Chinese as well, obviously for CHCKL to sell because this Attributes Malaysian website. It can be sold in Indonesia as well. Then the Mandarin copy can be sold in Taiwan as well. Wahhh THAT IS A LOT OF MONEY for copying other people's articles.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">What did he do with the money?. I haven't heard of any offer to return the money because of the plagiarised articles. If you get your money from questionable means, wouldn't you offer to pay it back if you are found out? The courts make tax evaders pay a penalty to ensure they do not profit. But how is it that plagiarism can make a profit? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">On top of that, I have not heard this Senior Pastor tell publicly to his followers that they don't need to raise funds for him. Can he dare claim he has got no money to pay for himself? Why is he keeping silent instead of saying "yes I can pay" or "no, I cannot pay"? On top of that, he dare say that his father-in-law is the cause why he is free.</span></div>

ROFL hahahaha<span style="font-size: large;">I wonder how is it that some churches can have teachers who dare to teach that Jesus was rich, not poor. I wonder why some sheep can really live up to their names and be that stupid to believe such teachings. No wonder they get fleeced, metaphorically speaking.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This is their reasoning. He had a treasurer who even stole and keep stealing without anyone noticing the difference. They met in his house. He was presented with treasures from wise men when He was born. His clothes He wore were divided by the guards.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">He had a treasurer? Please lahhh, it was the tradition in those days for one person to hold the money for the band of companions.<span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong> It was not Jesus’ money that Judas held but everyone in the travelling party</strong></span>. Its like when we were young, we went out as friends and we would all give to one person who would then pay the expenses for all.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Did Jesus have any money? Look at Luke 8:1-3 “<span style="color: red;">After this, Jesus traveled about from one town and village to another, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with him, and also some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (called Magdalene) from whom seven demons had come out; Joanna the wife of Cuza, the manager of Herod's household; Susanna; and many others. These women were helping to support them out of their own means</span>.” </span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>If Jesus was rich, that means he must have been very unprincipled to live off these women when he had money.</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">He had a house? Big deal! It just means he was not homeless not that he was rich. How big was Jesus' house? How lucrative was being a carpenter? <span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>Being a carpenter was more like being a labourer than being a businessman</strong></span>. The rich of Jesus’ time were the businessman merchants and traders. The rest were just labourers.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">He was presented with treasures? How much did he get? <strong><span style="font-size: x-large;">If Jesus was rich, why would he say the Son of Man had no place to rest his head?</span></strong> Did he wear fine clothes? Really?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The soldiers tossed lots for his clothes? <strong><span style="font-size: x-large;">It was a tradition of that time for the executioners to cast lots for the condemned's belongings much like an executioner's fee. The soldiers were not doing it because they had been squabbling over who gets his rich clothes.</span></strong> <u>Does anyone think that whatever robe Jesus had that perhaps it could even have been the purple robe that Herod draped over him and not Jesus' own?</u></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The clearest evidence is that his parents were poor despite the claims that he got treasure from the Magi. Look at Luke 2:22-24. Jesus’ parents offered a sacrifice of “<em>a<span style="color: red;"> pair of doves or two young pigeons</span></em>”. Look at Lev 12:7b-8, “<em><span style="color: red;">These are the regulations for the woman who gives birth to a boy or a girl. If she cannot afford a lamb, she is to bring two doves or two young pigeons, one for a burnt offering and the other for a sin offering</span>.</em>” </span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>Jesus' parents could not even afford a proper sacrifice of a lamb even at his birth. So Jesus’ parents were poor and he was poor.</strong></span><br />

Is that true? If so its amazing. Thats because it looks like Sun's return to CHC has been prophesied in Kong Hee's blog itself. This is what I copied from the responses to Kong Hee's post on "Wholesome Shallowness"<br />

Muahhahahahahahah<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I wonder how is it that some churches can have teachers who dare to teach that Jesus was rich, not poor. I wonder why some sheep can really live up to their names and be that stupid to believe such teachings. No wonder they get fleeced, metaphorically speaking.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This is their reasoning. He had a treasurer who even stole and keep stealing without anyone noticing the difference. They met in his house. He was presented with treasures from wise men when He was born. His clothes He wore were divided by the guards.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">He had a treasurer? Please lahhh, it was the tradition in those days for one person to hold the money for the band of companions. <strong><span style="font-size: x-large;">It was not Jesus’ money that Judas held but everyone in the travelling party</span></strong>. Its like when we were young, we went out as friends and we would all give to one person who would then pay the expenses for all.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Did Jesus have any money? Look at Luke 8:1-3 “After this, Jesus traveled about from one town and village to another, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with him, and also some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (called Magdalene) from whom seven demons had come out; Joanna the wife of Cuza, the manager of Herod's household; Susanna; and many others. <strong>These women were helping to support them out of their own means</strong>.” <strong><span style="font-size: x-large;">If Jesus was rich, that means he must have been very unprincipled to live off these women when he had money.</span></strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">He had a house? Big deal! It just means he was not homeless not that he was rich. How big was Jesus' house? <strong>How lucrative was being a carpenter?</strong> <strong><span style="font-size: x-large;">Being a carpenter was more like being a labourer than being a businessman.</span></strong> The rich of Jesus’ time were the businessman merchants and traders. The rest were just labourers.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">He was presented with treasures? <span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>How much did he get? If Jesus was rich, why would he say the Son of Man had no place to rest his head? Did he wear fine clothes?</strong></span> Really?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> The soldiers tossed lots for his clothes? <strong><span style="font-size: x-large;">It was a tradition of that time for the executioners to cast lots for the condemned's belongings much like an executioner's fee. The soldiers were not doing it because they had been squabbling over who gets his rich clothes.</span></strong> Does anyone think that whatever robe Jesus had that perhaos it could even have been the purple robe that Herod draped over him and not Jesus' own.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The clearest evidence is that his parents were poor despite the claims that he got treasure from the Magi. Look at Luke 2:22-24. Jesus’ parents offered a sacrifice of “a pair of doves or two young pigeons”. Look at Lev 12:7b-8, “These are the regulations for the woman who gives birth to a boy or a girl. If she cannot afford a lamb, she is to bring two doves or two young pigeons, one for a burnt offering and the other for a sin offering.” <strong><span style="font-size: x-large;">Jesus' parents could not even afford a proper sacrifice of a lamb even at his birth. So Jesus’ parents were poor and he was poor.</span></strong></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">From its inception the Pentecostal movement has been marred deeply by scandals, as we have documented in our illustrated 317-page book The Pentecostal-Charismatic Movements: Its History and Its Error. If the movement had the fullness of the Holy Spirit unction and power that it claims, we would not see such an exhibition of the flesh, but in fact moral and other scandals have continued to plague it in recent history. The following are some prominent examples: </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bishop Rick Hawkins is described many ways by many people: showman, a charismatic and powerful preacher, founder of the massive San Antonio church the Family Praise Center, as well as a charter school that bears his name, and an accredited bible college that trains evangelicals. But in recent months Bishop Hawkins is best known for a storm of sex scandal. In 2007 his Family Praise Center was rocked when allegations surfaced of Bishop Hawkins sexually harassing church members, having adulterous affairs. Several women charged that he took advantage of women who came for him for spiritual counseling by soliciting them for phone sex. He is reportedly under investigation for using thousands of dollars in church funds to hush up his victims. Hundreds of church members have fled his church.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Financial scandal. Faulty theology. Moral failure. The last few years have shown that the Church and her leaders are not immune to scandal and corruption. The real problem, however, is that no one is holding them accountable. Until now. Charismatic insider and contributing editor to Charisma magazine, J. Lee Grady has been a voice crying out against the abuse of the gifts of the Spirit in his weekly, award-winning column "Fire in My Bones." Though an avid proponent of the charismatic experience, he has observed trends that both distress and anger him. And now he is overturning the money tables.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lori Lewis' pastor let her family stay in a church apartment when her husband went to jail. Five months later, the pastor joined her husband behind bars. He was not there for inmate ministry. The Rev. Robert N. Riddle was charged in April with swindling an elderly widow out of more than $100,000. While not personally affected by the scandal, the disappointment stung Lewis. "If you can't trust your pastor, who you can trust?" she said. Churches are learning that the preacher in the pulpit should not be accepted on his word alone. Scandalous stories of bad pastors floating from one church to the next have also made some wonder whether denominations where there is little oversight over congregations are even more vulnerable to clergy abuse.</span><br />

The envelopes identify seven donation designations: tithes, offering, building fund, Without Walls television, benevolence, pastor's gift and Paula White Ministries. With all the money pouring into the $40 million-a-year enterprise, how do those who give know where it all goes? How can congregants be sure their money supports the causes they intended? The answer: They can't.</span><br />

What caught my attention was the statement, “One such example is portions that were taken from “The Leadership Bible, New International Version.” In March 2010, Kong’s editorial team wrote to publisher Zondervan Publishing House to seek permission to reprint these portions in the Daily Devotion. The Leadership Bible is authored/edited by Sid Buzzell, Kenneth Boa and Bill Perkins. Permission was granted the following month, stating that “since [the request to reprint] falls under our fair use guidelines (you are using less than 500 words), Zondervan is happy to grant permission at no charge”. The article can be read here <a href="http://www.citynews.sg/CNnewspaper/cnjune2010p22/">http://www.citynews.sg/CNnewspaper/cnjune2010p22/</a><br />
<br />
I am a little curious as to the exact nature of their request for re-producing the articles. 1) Did they SPECIFICALLY STATE their request was to print some of the articles/notes from the Leadership Study Bible? 2) Or did they JUST REQUEST TO reproduce from the Leadership Bible? There is a difference depending on how the written request is crafted. If it is the latter request, Zondervan could be thinking the request is to reprint the NIV BIBLE TEXT IN A COMMERCIAL REFERENCE, not for reprinting of the articles. Looking at Zondervan’s above reply, this may be the permission granted Kong’s team. Zondervan’s reply is based on fair use of the NIV text which is freely given. Just look inside any Zondervan-published Bible. Stated in the inside page is “the NIV TEXT may be quoted in any written form…, up to and inclusive of 500 verses without express written permission of the publisher…” They have written fair use guidelines but it is meant for the NIV text and these guidelines are worded very closely in Zondervan’s reply to KH’s team.<br />
<br />
The articles/notes in the Leadership Study Bible are however a different thing. In any study/devotional Bible, these are the intellectual property of the person who wrote them, not necessarily the publisher. Just check any study Bible to ascertain this. In the case of the Leadership Bible, the copyright remains with Buzzell & Boa and so Zondervan has no right to grant permission for anyone to re-print them. In mid-March, I did query Buzzell & Boa as to their copyright ownership of the Leadership Study Bible articles. They replied (in their own words) “Zondervan turned the rights to the material over to the authors” (i.e. Buzzell & Boa). So how can Zondervan grant permission in April 2010 (according to City News) to reprint the articles? In fact, the articles/notes from the Leadership Study Bible have already been re-printed by Buzzell & Boa in other books by other publishing houses. KH’s excellent backup team can ascertain this for themselves.<br />
<br />
So many questions to ask over what is a simple copyright issue! Did KH’s team SPECIFICALLY ASK to reprint the articles/notes from the Leadership Study Bible? HOW CAN Zondervan grant permission for the reprint of something they have no copyright to? Is the Buzzell & Boa team MISTAKEN in thinking they have copyright to the articles? Has the Buzzell & Boa team’s publishing houses INFRINGED ON COPYRIGHT by printing the Leadership Study Bible articles in the books of Buzzell & Boa?<br />
<br />
I sincerely hope this article will be helpful to KH’s team to make the necessary clarifications. After all, they should try to be sure so as to avoid more legal complications of infringement of copyright should they reprint “Renewing your Spiritual…”Cheat Gracehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01729280748009340673noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4297611860304765362.post-89138107656047368122010-06-22T09:06:00.000-07:002010-06-22T09:08:43.212-07:00Singapore needs RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) Act.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.cartoonstock.com/lowres/vsh0034l.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" ru="true" src="http://www.cartoonstock.com/lowres/vsh0034l.jpg" width="331" /></a></div><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Does Singapore need a SG version of RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) Act? Under US Federal law, RICO enables the law-enforcement officials to take action by providing stronger penalties against organizations that have displayed ongoing criminal activity over a period of time. Wikipedia states that “Under RICO, a person who is a member of an enterprise that has committed any two of 35 crimes—27 federal crimes like tax evasion, bribery, money laundering, embezzlement, theft, fraud, etc. within a 10-year period can be charged with racketeering under RICO. Those found guilty of racketeering can be fined up to $25,000 and sentenced to 20 years in prison per racketeering count. In addition, the racketeer must forfeit all ill-gotten gains and interest in any business gained through a pattern of ‘racketeering activity.’ RICO also permits a private individual harmed by the actions of such an enterprise to file a civil suit; if successful, the individual can collect treble damages.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Currently, those found guilty of such crimes mentioned above are still sentenced as if they have committed the crime individually. This is applied even if it is a group of people who conspire to commit the same crimes like embezzlement and fraud over a period of time. Simply put, racketeering is a group of people working together to carry out a criminal enterprise over a period of time. RICO provides for heavier penalties.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Imagine the charities industry in Singapore. It has to be an industry because of the potential to raise enormous funds by tugging at people’s heartstrings. Imagine a group of people with marketing savvy, organizational acumen and slick PR who are able to address a mass need in society. This could be a need like helping children with vision disorders. After all, who wants a young child to go blind? Or how about children’s cancer since Asians especially cannot bear the thought of children dying. Use emotional appeals through pictures and film which tugs at people’s hearts to give. Why shouldn’t people give? It plays on their guilty conscience since they are healthy while others are sick/dying. Slicker marketing each year, better PR and the money snowballs humongously. Don’t have to take my word for it. Just consider the news on charities for the last five years.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Another need is to be assured of what will happen to you in the afterlife, i.e. salvation. The group addresses the need with slick marketing like ‘giving sacrificially’ and give examples of people who have experienced exponential increase in income after giving until it hurts. They may play on your fears by claiming only such acts of sacrifice will prove you are a real child of God. There may be peer pressure also indicating you are not being faithful if you don’t give playing on your fears of whether you will go Heaven or otherwise. In return, the group offers therapeutic messages and music that make you forget your sorrows or massage your ego for just a little while each weekend and sometimes on a weekday. With slick marketing and PR and more emotional manipulation, the group continues to draw more devotees over the years. And the racket increases in income because they have more people who are giving more and more over the years. After all, everyone is interested in their eternal destiny. Offer it to them on a platter; make it easy for them to believe and soon your devotee numbers increase. Look at the spiritualism (not just Christianity) industry worldwide. Just Google religious scandals and see what happens.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">That is why SG also needs a RICO. This will prevent the charity industry from falling into wrong hands such as a charity that commits serial plundering of the funds raised and available for the leadership group’s use. Its not just crime but organized crime since it a group of like-minded criminals out to fleece the people who trust them and get their hands on the charity dollars. I hope the SG government earnestly looks into this.</span>Cheat Gracehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01729280748009340673noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4297611860304765362.post-79508861509695611932010-06-20T19:44:00.000-07:002010-06-20T19:50:26.451-07:00IS THIS REALLY TRUE!<div align="left" class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

So rather than go to the publishers who were the correct people to seek clarifications from, bloggers went straight to the authors (wrong party to look for) and sought their own conclusions from there. Nice one. Shouldn’t the paper and the bloggers therefore apologize as well then, at least for their oversight</em>?"<br />
<br />
My response is are the reps of KH still claiming they had permission to reproduce the plagiarised articles? City New is CHC's mouthpiece right? I'd be happy if someone can post the article link here! Why not rebut the papers' reports directly then instead of in your own handouts? That would have a wider circulation and lead to total vindication. Why not show CONCRETE PROOF such permission exists? In fact, I am very interested to know HOW MANY ARTICLES they willingly admit to 'lifting from external sources." I sure would like to know if their number of 'permission-granted' articles correspond with the number of copied articles I have found. Furthermore, if KH, his publishers, etc had permission to print PRIOR TO presstime and circulating online the plagiarised articles, that would have been their first arrow in their salvo against the claims of the bloggers and the press. But has it been? <strong>Frankly speaking, I would be happy to apologise if such proof is forthcoming. It gives me no pleasure to find that a man of God (as claimed by his devotees) has fallen short of the standard required. </strong></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">So perhaps now KH's reps can claim this word for word copy of Ken Boa's article is also 'permission-granted' for then to reproduce? Call me a legalist if you want to but perhaps it is time to walk the talk and glorify God with action and now with words.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I wonder if someone can help me understand. Is it only in Christianity that those who stand for the truth and cast light upon darkness are vilified? Or maybe ordinary bloggers make easier target as compared to the government.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;">Ancient Israel was let astray and cast into captivity simply because their leaders led their followers astray. They even stoned and killed the prophets who warned them of their wrongdoing instead of repenting. What lessons can we in the church learn from this.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;">I would like to say kudos to our local government for taking the courageous stand to investigate wrongdoing by church leaders. This could have boomeranged on them but they have taken this step for the sake of law and justice, a subject that is close to God's heart.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;">The Westminster Confession Chapter 23 reminds us "God, the supreme Lord and King of all the world, has ordained <strong><span style="color: red;">civil magistrates</span></strong>, to be, under Him, over the people, for His own glory, and the public good: and, to this end, <span style="color: red;"><strong>has armed them with the power of the sword, for the defence and encouragement of them that are good, and for the punishment of evil doers</strong></span>. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;">Christians should obey the goverment not because we fear the governement law but because we love God and obey God's commands. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;">Romans 13:1-4 - <span style="color: red;">Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you. For he is God's servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God's servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.</span></span>Cheat Gracehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01729280748009340673noreply@blogger.com21tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4297611860304765362.post-42046665951943510292010-06-02T06:38:00.000-07:002010-08-07T06:12:46.233-07:00Attributes "assert" they had right to use plagiarised material<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The publisher of the book said that after investigation, they discovered that out of the 350 articles in the book, there were about 10 articles which contained similarities with other authors. However, the publisher asserted that KH had used their materials with the permission of the original authors, and therefore it is not a case of plagiarism. He also said that their oversight is in not clearly letting readers know which articles were written by other authors and reproduced with their permission.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The above translation of KH's publishers' "oversight" is taken from </span><a href="http://thelogicalchristian.blogspot.com/2010/06/pastor-kong-hees-publisher-explains-its.html"><span style="font-size: large;">http://thelogicalchristian.blogspot.com/2010/06/pastor-kong-hees-publisher-explains-its.html</span></a><span style="font-size: large;">. Thanks Stan. You're an esteeemed man of letters.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Actually I had earlier considered not blogging any response to KH since Stanley had done admirably in showing how HOLEy is KH's 'clarificatiom'. But then the publisher now says its their 'honest mistake'. Really? The game is afoot!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">“Contained similarities”. That’s a good spin. Hello, it’s a word for word copy in practically all the articles. There were 350 articles? Looks like even Attributes don’t know the contents of their publishing. The book is called “Renewing…. 90 days”, i.e. one day one articles @ 90 articles/vol. Do the maths Duhhh!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The publisher “asserted”? Why not show hardcopy proof to CONFIRM rather than merely “assert”? If Kong Hee had permission to use the materials, its strange that he did not mention this in his ‘clarification’. Its strange that he did not post a copy of photo of one written permission. That would have shut his detractors up.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Any self-respecting publisher would make sure the author proof-reads and approves the book contents. I know all publishers make their client author or his representative sign against the printed proofs? This is so that they avoid being blamed and sued by the author if there are any legal hassles in the book contents. Attributes did not bother to check and get Kong Hee to approve the contents? It is not their ‘oversight’. The onus is on Kong Hee to provide the material including the crediting of the external sources. So why are they willing to take the fall for Kong Hee’s ‘oversight’?</span>Cheat Gracehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01729280748009340673noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4297611860304765362.post-59429977171679240872010-05-21T07:03:00.000-07:002010-05-21T07:03:53.103-07:00Now so many know<span style="color: red; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">Now so many people know about the contents of this blog.

Some more the article is also in Kong Hee's book "Renewing Your Spiritual Life in 90 days, Vol 1" day 55, "Jesus broke every curse." The book is alreayd sold in public for money so how can he say claim "The Daily Devotion on this website is non commercial in nature and meant solely for the believer’s personal edification." </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Wahhh, another plagiarised article. Look at Kong Hee's article </span><a href="http://www.konghee.com/www/2009/07/the-holiness-of-god/"><span style="font-size: large;">http://www.konghee.com/www/2009/07/the-holiness-of-god/</span></a><span style="font-size: large;">.

<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And then look at KH's article point 4 "God’s holiness cannot tolerate sin". It is directly copied from the study notes of Life Application Study Bible Isa 59:1-14. You can check your Life Application Study Bible if you don't wanna believe me. The proof is also here </span><a href="http://www.abible.com/devotions/2005/20050502-1812.html"><span style="font-size: large;">http://www.abible.com/devotions/2005/20050502-1812.html</span></a><span style="font-size: large;">. If he copy from others wholesale, can he say that they are his insights. Because he printed this artincle in his book "Renewing your spiritual life, Vol 2, day 76. Doctor of theology should know the importance of crediting the source of your information. Any seminary will be very strict about plagiarism.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I have posted pictures of the website articles here to make things easy for you. So how? Furthermore, in this article KH says "we must never use unholy means to teach a holy goal because..." What do you think? Is plagiarism unholy? legal maybe but defintely cannot call it holy.

This is one example of plagiarism that takes the cake. LOL. Kong Hee's article is found in two different places.<br />
<br />
This is Kong Hee's article http://www.konghee.com/www/2010/03/receiving-kingdom-power/<br />
<br />
Look at his three points on the Holy Spirit and compare with the three points found in the Christian Cowboy's web article http://www.silveradocowboychurch.org/holyspirit.htm... Very, very similar in the words and points given. If God is a creative God, why does he need to give the same revelation in same words to two different people. <br />
<br />
Now look at Kong Hee's 4 application points at his article's end. 1st, 2nd & 4th is directly taken from the commentary of the Spirit-filled Bible, almost word for word. The article can be seen here although I have posted the screenshot also <br />
http://www.ruachfellowship.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=88<br />
<br />
So how? What do you think? Who do you think copy from who? Anyway we know KH has copied from the Leadership Bible for sure.<br />
<br />
This article is also day 70 devotion of Kong Hee's book "Renewing your Spiritual Life... Vol 1 (Page 149)". So how? Should a man sell bread that is baked by another person? Can a Christian apportion for himself manna collected by another man?Cheat Gracehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01729280748009340673noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4297611860304765362.post-80202335704158570652010-05-07T06:54:00.000-07:002010-05-07T07:19:14.327-07:00Why Must Man of God Plagiarize Another Man's Work<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_gVtmC7L8YxA/S-QhHZgOr6I/AAAAAAAAAKs/7IaJmd-ro0M/s1600/KH2.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_gVtmC7L8YxA/S-QhHZgOr6I/AAAAAAAAAKs/7IaJmd-ro0M/s400/KH2.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468532258523492258" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_gVtmC7L8YxA/S-QhHLfvboI/AAAAAAAAAKk/EJX_A9vTpmM/s1600/KH1.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_gVtmC7L8YxA/S-QhHLfvboI/AAAAAAAAAKk/EJX_A9vTpmM/s400/KH1.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468532254763347586" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_gVtmC7L8YxA/S-QhGnJDVgI/AAAAAAAAAKc/kdkrBYmTddc/s1600/agape2.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_gVtmC7L8YxA/S-QhGnJDVgI/AAAAAAAAAKc/kdkrBYmTddc/s400/agape2.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468532245004506626" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_gVtmC7L8YxA/S-QhGcO4pqI/AAAAAAAAAKU/Mugy5CgqqzU/s1600/agape1.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_gVtmC7L8YxA/S-QhGcO4pqI/AAAAAAAAAKU/Mugy5CgqqzU/s400/agape1.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468532242076182178" /></a><br /><br /><strong>Another example of pastors plagiartizing from others.</strong><br /><br />Kong Hee's devotion on fasting is found here <a href="http://www.konghee.com/www/2010/03/fasting/"></a><br /><br />The other article from AgapeFellowship in USA is found in their 31-day Fasting Manual in here <a href="http://www.agapefellowship.com/images/Spiritual%20Fast%20for%202009.pdf"></a>... <br /><br />This manual is actually a very comprehensive manual on fasting. It contains prayer topics for your fasting days, foods to avoid, foods to compliment your fast, scriptures to meditate on. The pastor must have put a lot of research into it.<br /><br />So how? what do you think? Both pastors seem to be experts on fasting. So why does one pastor need to copy the other's devotional article. During his fasting, God never reveal anything to him mehh? Some more one is a fasting manual. So which is the 'expert' that plagiarize from the original expert? Difficult to guess or not?Cheat Gracehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01729280748009340673noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4297611860304765362.post-6213107171352076832010-05-04T08:00:00.001-07:002010-05-04T08:16:00.874-07:00Another example of Christian pastors who plagiarize each other<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_gVtmC7L8YxA/S-A57GCWyPI/AAAAAAAAAJs/mtYfFlpPSAw/s1600/kh1.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_gVtmC7L8YxA/S-A57GCWyPI/AAAAAAAAAJs/mtYfFlpPSAw/s400/kh1.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467433635023341810" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_gVtmC7L8YxA/S-A56yaOmEI/AAAAAAAAAJk/Jakgk_jqXYI/s1600/don.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_gVtmC7L8YxA/S-A56yaOmEI/AAAAAAAAAJk/Jakgk_jqXYI/s400/don.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467433629754759234" /></a><br /><br /><strong>Why do Christian pastors need to plagiarise other Christians' work? I believe every pastor will seek the joy of God's company in devotion every morning. So that means he should be having a fresh revelation from God every morning. They why copy others' devotion writing? Is it because for the plagiarist pastor "In those days the word of the LORD was rare; there were not many visions."? It is scary when a man claim to be a man of God but has tro resort to copy another man's revelation from God.<br /><br />Just see this example. Look at this artcile, 'The Charismatic Gifts' by the megachurch pastor Kong Hee http://www.konghee.com/www/2010/05/the-charismatic-gifts-2/<a href="http://www.konghee.com/www/2010/05/the-charismatic-gifts-2/"></a>. It is a word for word copy of http://donfran.multiply.com/journal/item/54/The_Charismatic_Gifts<a href="http://donfran.multiply.com/journal/item/54/The_Charismatic_Gifts"></a>... <br /><br />WHO COPY FROM WHO? Makes no difference. The question is why they cannot credit the source of their article if they copied it. Why cannot they write their own revelation from God.</strong>Cheat Gracehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01729280748009340673noreply@blogger.com5
