Has anybody heard of Joseph Prince? He's a WOF teacher from Asia I think. I just read the dumbest thing yet from a WOFer. He teaches that one can have perfect health and even look younger (the cells will be regenerated) if you partake of the Eucharist and believe that you receive. UN-BE-LIEVABLE!!! But hey, maybe WOF will become the new religion of Hollywood and replace plastic surgery. Instead of drugs, the stars will OD on the Eurcharist :pound:pound:pound But this is really no laughing matter. There is no end to the disrespect shown to our Lord in this disgusting cult.


This is a theological rebuttal to the article "Health And Wholeness Through The Holy Communion" by Joseph Prince, pastor of New Creation Church, Singapore. The article can be found in the August 2004 issue of Solid Rock, a publication of New Creation Church, or viewed at the website www.newcreation.org.sg. Another blogger, Elaine Loh, has provided a more detailed theological rebuttal that can be found over here.

In this article, Joseph Prince tries to show his readers that the Holy Communion has the ability to grant divine health to its partakers. Prince wrote in the article:

As long as we are here on earth, our bodies are subject to the ageing process, which is part of the divine sentence. All our bodies are decaying every day. Our brain cells are dying daily.

The Holy Communion is God’s solution for us to stop the decay. And even your friends will see the results. They will begin to ask you, “Hey, why do you seem to look younger and younger? You never seem to age!”

One day, when we get to heaven, we will have brand new bodies that never grow old, never tire and never look bad. Meanwhile, the Lord’s Supper is how God helps us offset this process of ageing and walk in divine health. Every time you partake, you are reversing the effects of the curse or divine judgement in your body…

Throughout the entire article, Prince mainly used 1 Corinthians 11:20-22,27-30 as his main Biblical reference. As I read and reread through the entire article a couple of times, I have discovered to my astonishment that Prince absolutely failed to highlight 1 Corinthians 11:23-26, which explains the real purpose of the Holy Communion:

For many desperate people who are dying of cancer or have other life threatening illnesses, while this sounds improbable it attracts them because they do not want to die. Yes it is not a laughing matter at all. I can see how he tries to get some credibility to his teaching from these verses because it mentions sickness as a result of taking the communion in an unworthy manner. So these WOF preacher just teaches the reverse, ie you therefore we must get well if you took communion in a worthy manner.

We should be weeping that these WOF preachers are playing with those who are at their most vunerable. People who are willing to do anything to avoid death. Even people who have been chronically ill for years with no ability to recover from their illnesses.

1CO 11:27 Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. 28A man ought to examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup. 29 For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the body of the Lord eats and drinks judgment on himself. 30 That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep. 31 But if we judged ourselves, we would not come under judgment. 32 When we are judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be condemned with the world.

Sorry if I don't find it funny.

Ponce De Leon wasted all that time looking for the fountain of youth, and all that time he could have taken communion! Talk about 20/20 hindsight! :doh
