No, missionaries are not paid to preach. Please don't spread lies. Don't say anything if you don't know what you're saying. Sheesh.Originally posted by xiao_mei2005:there was a person who said that most missionaries r not paid to preach, but i think they r. because if u look at it like this, most would do anything to get u to convert to their religion. that article that i posted is on page 11 of this thread i think. -
Paid to preach?
Must clarify
Paid to preach to earn money, or paid as part of living expenses and stuff, i mean, you dont expect missionaries to feed on air right? -
Dear friends,
Only Jesus our lord is immortal. All missionaries are men and they need sustenance. Since they are helping to spread the good news, it's only right that the church supports them. That is the purpose of our tithing.
We need to rid the world of all the false religions, and Christianity is the true religion. Vatican has to be demolished one day too.

I think u are very dumb... muslims do say that jesus lived, however the resurrection of the man is not agreed upon. It is on blind fate that christians believe that he was resurrected, it is this ressurection that gives u reason for ur fate. So be it. Though Judasim and islam have no account of this ressurection they do acknoledge that Jesus lived. He was a wise man in those accounts.Originally posted by contact:well....
so what's your point?
if u r a muslim..will u say that jesus exist?
etc etc etc.
so just SHUT THE HELL UP>
This brings me to the singularity of most christans understanding ow world religions. They are too quick to dissmiss other religions as devil worship and ignorant faiths.
I do not get irritated wiht christians. I feel sorry for most of the younger christians who believe blindly -
i'm christian. but i also hate christians who don't know the principles of evangelism. those that appear forceful in sharing the gospel.
like for instance, the first time they see u, they just throw the gospel at u expecting u to take in everything they say and get u converted.
in this way, they appear desperate and forceful.. which is a big turn off to many other non-believers. -

Ha ha... these christians dont even know the meaning of evangilism.
It is to spread the word of god.. through their actions.
I think they take it too literally.... They throw the word of their god at every one and threathen u .. with damnation in hell if u dont accept those words. H Ha ha does that not sound alot like something the devil would be doing? hmm think about it Christians.
Religion isnt about singing in a church one day a week and preaching to thers the rest of the week. What does that accomplish? You got it.. nothing.
Religion gives u hope of a better society through social order established by belief in a greater good that we all must work towards acheiving.
Check the way u live ur lives.. Live it the way ur "lord" tells u to and not the way ur preacher does. Understand what it means to be a member of ur faith.
Through ur behaviour will ur religion be judged. U will not be jedged by the religion u choose.
Stop engaging in socially destructive behaviour. -
I agree....missionaries are not paid.....some even take money out from their pockets for missions....Originally posted by SumOne:No, missionaries are not paid to preach. Please don't spread lies. Don't say anything if you don't know what you're saying. Sheesh. -

Not talking about religion directly here, but science itself has been known to be flawed more than once. Theories and conventions have been known to be proven wrong. But just to give you an alternative angle, here's a quote.Originally posted by Purplehaze623:juz scream "oh my buddha~!!!" when a christian starts approaching u to talk wadever he wans.
often pisses those christians off in NP with this tactic.
no offense, just dun like someone to talk to me about unclear history and theories. things are coming out fast with science, religions will die off and wont pass on forever. whether we like it or not, just stay still on ur stand and dun get influenced. be yourself.
"Nothing happens in contrary to nature, but only man's understanding of it."
Yes, science is ever changing, but doesn't that mean what you believed prevously may not be true once a new but contradictory scietific theory is developed?
And there are so many things today yet that modren science does not have the answers for yet.
Personally I believe in supernatural, which to me is just phenonemon that science is not able explain yet. Once understood it becomes science.
Science in itself is similar to religion or vice versa. It's basically different methods to how man explains or deals with things around him.
On another note, religion isn't just about hard facts and numbers by the way, it's also about cultivation of character and being. Traits that scientifc facts cannot teach you.
I quite dare say you're wrong in saying religion will die off. -
ahah! so you are the typical fundamentalist!Originally posted by Baptist:Vatican has to be demolished one day too.
The Catholics here can spare you, but I don't know about the rest of the forumners.... -
Because some people like to make more of an issue out of christians than others. They are irritated more easily mainly because they are anti-christian in the first place.Originally posted by casino_king:anyone irritated by christians here?
Actually no. There are so many monkeys and idiots everywhere in the world, why get irritated? Waste of time right? -
Just curious though, what do you do when you get approached by those who offer to read your fortune for you?Originally posted by Purplehaze623:juz scream "oh my buddha~!!!" when a christian starts approaching u to talk wadever he wans.

To would-be debaters in this thread,
Trying to debate anything, especially a religous issue on the net is pointless. It ultimately leads to nowhere, because usually there is no objectivity in the debate. Some people just have a one-sided objective to discredit another party.
Having said that, I think people should also understand that not all christians are the same. Just as how not all buddhists or taoists are the same. There are bad practioners of every religion, but the thread starter is only trying to single out christians only.
Not all muslims are terrorists and would-be suicide bombers. Think about this before lambasting people of another religion. -
I guess it's because some people just trying to find an excuse to attack christians only.Originally posted by Li Ka Shing:No, Im not irritated by Christians, however Im damn irritated by people who keep saying they are irritated by Christians, especially by posting here in SGForums.
It makes me really irritated.
So it's ok to attack Christians, and not other religious people like Muslims?
Why when talking about Muslims, a respect and care is given, but not when talking about Christians?
Why are some people afraid abt ISA when talking abt Muslims, but not Christians?
It's also religion ok.
Please.
Or you want somebody to anonymously report to police and complain?
Some people seem to like to assume that the action of 1 christian seems to be the act of all christians. That's as good as saying that my muslim neighbours are members of Al Qaeda.
Some people just don't seem to know enough of the world, or they just don't seem to want to know. Like they're finding an excuse to start a religon war against christians only. -
Because some people like to make exceptional issue with christians, mainly because they are anti-christian to begin with.Originally posted by casino_king:anyone irritated by christians here?
Actually no. There are so many monkeys and idiots everywhere in the world, why get irritated? Waste of time right?
There those people who go around and offer to read your fortune and pester you to do so.
There those who press you to do a survey and tell you that they will get to earn $5 if you help them and will pester and hound you even when you have already said no politely.
There are those who create jams at computer shows, because they are trying to get a $5 bargain for a $2000 purchase ($5 is 0.4% of $2000).
So many other irritating types of people in the world yet some choose to make issue only with Christians. Really says a lot about such people. -
the article you posted mentions about the need for credibility, yet you are not practicing it. and if you realised, I already made some comments about your article, but you've conveniently ignnored it altogether. Which really makes me doubt your "kind intentions" in trying to inform people.Originally posted by xiao_mei2005:there was a person who said that most missionaries r not paid to preach, but i think they r. because if u look at it like this, most would do anything to get u to convert to their religion. that article that i posted is on page 11 of this thread i think.
It really seems like you're more interested in focusing on anti-christian sentiments than anything else.
As for your article, it is hardly proof anything. It is more of an article suggesting a very hostile and wrong attitude towards christians or anybody in general. It does not provide very clear references pertaining to the number of approaches by missionaries on muslims, or how all christians try to reach out to muslims. I have addressed this in an earlier post which you very conveniently ignored.
Your article is very poor proof that missionaries are paid to preach and if you bothered to do at least a little check/research/study, you'll realise how wrong you are.
And to say most missionaries would do ANYTHING to convert a muslim is the same as say, most muslims would do ANYTHING to destroy America, Israel or any of their allies.
I assume you make such misinformed comments because you are young and probably ignorant. However, please stop making such sweeping statements with such malicious intent. Otherwise, I might suggest to relevant authorities to monitor you. -
Yes yes, yet some people like to say they HATE all christians becuase christians are irritating. Only for others to find out they hate only CHC church christians and they hate christians still despite many other types of irritating people out there. Talk about one-sided.Originally posted by laoda99:yeah lor.....we can get orang utans everywhere now....even in sgforums... -
