Some Misapplied Verses By ODMers

Read the following posts by The Protestant Pope ... hear ye, hear ye!

Ezekiel 3:17

2 Timothy 3:12

And here's another update by the Protestant Pope himself.

Even more skeletons found in Daniel Chew's closet. Truth will out!

PS: The secret lives of ODM-ers ...

More Skeletons In The Closet!

Hear ye, hear ye! The Protestant Pope Speaks AGAIN! You got to read this expose!

From the Protestant Pope:

This is quite embarrassing. After all the serious Credo500 blog and all that talk about being "REFORMED" and "PURITAN" (even naming his blog "puritanreformed") , I see Daniel has just shot himself in the foot.

If you need more proof, read this - a description of himself ...

"I am a Reformed Christian standing firm on the Scriptures alone who owes much to the legacy of the Reformation, and desires to build further upon that firm foundation solidly expounding the Truths of Scripture. As a guideline, I subscribe to the 6 forms of unity (the Heidelberg Catechism, the Belgic Confession of Faith, the Canons of the Synod of Dordt, the Westminster Confession of Faith and the Shorter and Larger Catechisms)."

6 forms of unity! This makes Daniel more Reformed than Reformed, more Puritanical than the Puritans! With that in mind, please read on!

Daniel Chew is part of CERC, a church closely associated with the Protestant Reformed Churches of America (PRCA). You can call PRCA to be the right-wing (conservative) of all Calvinistic denominations. In fact, some have accused them of being Hyper Calvinistic (rightly or wrongly, I leave it to the consciences of my readers). That could explain why Daniel Chew has become one of their members. So far so good ...

However, being the inconsistent person that he is, I believe Daniel Chew is quite fond of Redemption Hill Church. Look at this very short post. He called the pastor "My friend Simon" - oh dear, name-dropping and a friend ... watch out Simon, he might find something unclean about you and you will be his "former-friend"!

Check out this post as well and its comments. This is the hilarious part - if you actually download the sermon and listen at around 17:53 you will hear this:

"Can someone give me a smile at the back there. Daniel Chew, why don't you give me a smile? Thank you... All right, make me feel a bit better." (this is also cited by a commenter, Beng)

This is hilarious! So Daniel was there at Redemption Hill Church on Sunday 8 March 2009! Does his Pastor at CERC know about this? What about the Elders at CERC?

He even mentioned in his post that he has met Pastor Simon Murphy over lunch (see the name-dropping?) ... ah, fame at last!

Do my readers not see something wrong here? Has Daniel Chew ever promoted CERC's sermons? They exist, all nicely catalogued here. But why has Daniel Chew not said anything about his own local church's sermons? Has he ever done a bit of name-dropping of his OWN PASTOR? Is he a member of CERC or not? [Note by Antithesis: Daniel Chew Huicong is a FULL member of CERC] Perhaps I am missing something here! I feel sorry for Pastor Paul Goh, who is laboring faithfully for the Lord - only to have a member who is running around promoting some other church.

By the way, Daniel said that Redemption Hill is "a new church plant in Singapore which is properly Gospel-centered and part of the global resurgence in Calvinism."

Really, is that so?

Is RHC the new bastion for Calvinism?

Is it consistent with Daniel Chew's beliefs (6 forms of unity and all that!)?

Refer to:

Redemption Hill Church http://redemptionhill.sg/

In their website, under their FAQ section you read this...

"7. How are you different from other churches that identify themselves as being reformed?

A helpful way to summarize our convictions is that we hold to a reformed view of salvation. We believe that God is sovereign over all things, including the salvation of individual sinners, and that all things, including salvation, have as their ultimate goal the glory of God. Such a perspective keeps the gospel central and grace amazing. While we believe that traditional reformed theology generally represents Scripture well, our ultimate theological commitment is not to a particular system of theology, but to theology that is biblical. Theology is the pursuit of God that must lead us to deep reverence of Him, and love for Him. We certainly do not hold to some of the traditional reformed views, such as infant baptism and the cessation of the gifts."

So RHC is a 5-pointer in salvation and that is it. Great! Is our Daniel-6-forms-of-unity-Chew happy about the lack of emphasis on Scripture ALONE and Infant Baptism? Goodness!

RHC also claims to be ".. .accountable to a team of men and women known as ‘New Covenant Ministries International’ (NCMI)."

What about the NCMI? To put it in a nutshell, they are an organization that will sort out all the ills of the world and 'church'. Read their website - see for yourself. And they call themselves an "Apostolic/Prophetic team"! And Daniel has no problems with that? Goodness!

So on one hand, Daniel is against the "Neo-apostolicism" movement and the "New Evangelical Calvinism", YET he is very much involved with them! Is that INCONSISTENT OR WHAT!

PS: I have nothing against RHC and its pastor Simon Murphy. I applaud their work for Jesus in Singapore. My issues are with Daniel Chew who is very inconsistent, yet expects consistency from all Christians!

Skeletons In The Closet

My dear friend, the Protestant Pope, continues to write concerning some of Daniel Chew’s skeletons still kept hidden in his closet … until NOW.

Hear the Protestant Pope even as he speaks!

It is inevitable that Daniel Chew's former friends will continue to haunt the present.

Daniel Chew Huicong's Former Friends Haunt The Present

Hey you all, you folks got to read this post by my pal Protestant Pope.

This is the TRUTH. You KNOW it is.

Will Daniel Chew's former friends please stand up and speak up?
