Greetings holy brothers. May God bless you with his favor and peace.
3 Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the holy-ones. 4 For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the favor of our God into sensuality and deny our only Overlord and Master, Jesus Anointed-One. (Jude3-4)
This post was originally meant as a response to the elders of The Crossing Church (Singapore) who have been my chief persecutors and liars.
However, it is now a call for ALL to:
#1: Repent from ALL kinds of sins.
Not just SOME kinds of sins.
#2: Believe the TRUE Good News of Jesus & his apostles.
Not the different "gospels" of the Roman Catholic Church nor the (Un)Orthodox Church nor any Protestant Church nor the Mormon Church nor the Jehovah Witnesses.
#3: Worship the TRUE Gods. God the Father, Jesus the Son and the Holy Spirit. 3 Gods not 1 God, not the Trinity.
Many man-made traditions have been created by false teachers from these churches over 100s and 1000s of years, distorting the Scriptures.
So what shall we do?
As it is written:
Ecc3v1-8:
For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:
a time to kill, and a time to heal;
a time to break down, and a time to build up;
a time to tear, and a time to sew;
a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
a time to love, and a time to hate;
a time for war, and a time for peace.
The time for silence is past. It is time to speak.
It is time for those who are righteous to hate falsehood (Prov13v5), time for the righteous to kill, tear, war and break down.
Spiritual warfare is not a call for physical violence against the liars and persecutors. They deserve to die (Rom1v29-32) but God, not us, will execute his vengeance on them. Every liar will be thrown into the fire (Rev21v8). We are forbidden from using the physical sword against our enemies in spiritual warfare.
Mt26v52: Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place. For all who take the sword will perish by the sword.
Spiritual warfare is a call to use the sword of the Spirit, the word of God, the Scriptures.
Eph6: 16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; 17 and receive the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,
We must use the sword of the Spirit like Jesus did against the father of lies. When Satan quoted Scripture and distorted it, Jesus quoted Scripture back and commanded him to get lost! (Mt4v1-10) So likewise, Scripture shall be quoted against Satan's lying children, their false doctrines and man-made traditions.
What should be our spiritual war goals? How far must we go?
2Cor10: 3 For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. 5 We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ, 6 being ready to punish every disobedience, when your obedience is complete.
So may God destroy EVERY argument and lofty opinion from the hoards of false teaching super-apostle Popes, Patriarchs, Professors, Pastors and Prophets that raise themselves against the knowledge of God so that EVERY thought of every holy-one will be taken captive to obey the Anointed-One.
After the spiritual war against lies has been entirely, comprehensively completed, then it will be time to heal, build up, sew, love and enjoy peace together with the truly repentant.
To do so, I have provided links below to correct EVERY error that has crept into the churches. One by one. These errors shall be destroyed. This blog post serves as the hub of the entire site. It is the central collection point of all posts. There will be posts on specific issues (e.g. "imputed righteousness of Christ", divorce & remarriage, unity, etc). There will be posts on whole books of Scripture. There will also be links provided to videos.
These are links to response papers on google documents / videos on YouTube.
More links to papers or videos will be posted once ready. *Best viewed on desktop

Responses to the elders of The Crossing Church
Dear reader,
I’m glad you are willing to find out more information about these charges made against me by the elders of The Crossing Church (TCC).
To help you understand my perspective,
I will:
A) Summarize a timeline of key events
B) Summarize the charges made against me over email
C) Summarize my approach to responding to these charges moving forward
A: Summary of key events
1. Joined Heart of God Church - HOGC (2006)
2. Realized several teachings and practices of HOGC contradicted the Scripture (Sep 2013)
3. After email exchanges with leaders failed to reach agreement, separated from HOGC (Oct 2013)
4. Joined TCC and NUS Regenerate (Jan 2014)
5. Began working as a G360 trainee staff of TCC (Feb 2016)
6. Founded SIT Christian Union - SITCU (Aug 2017)
7. Realized several teachings and practices of TCC contradicted the Scripture (Sep 2018)
8. Stopped working for TCC (Dec 2018)
9. Began working at an anonymous sports ministry (Jan 2019)
10. Realized several teachings and practices of the sports ministry contradicted Scripture (May 2019)
11. After 8 meetings with elders failed to reach agreement, separated from TCC (19 May 2019)
12. After 3 meetings with leaders failed to reach agreement, resigned from sports ministry (19 Jun 2019)
13. Employment terminated at the sports ministry (20 Jun 2019)
14. Excommunicated by the elders of TCC (6 Feb 2020)
I provide an extended backstory of events because I hope to share with you my consistent thought-process through each painful decision to separate.
Here is the email thread containing the last emails exchanged between the senior leaders of HOGC and I, regarding the teaching and practices that contradicted Scripture here: https://searchingscripture.wixsite.com/solascriptura/home/why-i-separated-from-heart-of-god-church
Here is my letter of resignation penned 1 month before my actual resignation, explaining my decision to leave the sports ministry: https://searchingscripture.wixsite.com/solascriptura/home/letter-of-resignation-from-sports-ministry
If you read them, you may understand my thought-process for separating. The same thought-process applies to the dealings with the TCC elders.
B: Summary of the charges made against me over email
I am excommunicated for being:
- A “false teacher”
- An “ungodly man”
- A “divisive person”
- And “unrepentant”
- As such, an “unbeliever”
C: Summary of my approach to responding to these charges moving forward
These are serious charges. Indeed, if they are true, my eternal destiny is at stake.
The elders emailed me on 28 Jan threatening to publicly warn TCC and SITCU about me. I asked for them to charge me publicly and debate me on the doctrines in question and allow me to question the truthfulness of their charges against my conduct. Then whatever the conclusion may be, so be it. But instead of accepting this invitation to prove the truthfulness of their charges against me publicly, they chose to excommunicate me on 6 Feb with an email(!):
Denesh: “...Jeremy, in the light of all this, it is with great sadness that we would ask you to not attend The Crossing or any of its related ministries from now on unless you repent of your teaching and ungodliness. As the Scriptures dictate, we would now treat you as an unbeliever until such time as you turn back to our Lord. And should we continue to hear that you are propagating your false teaching we will have to warn people.”
I will respond to each and every charge through several papers. It will take several weeks and probably months. So many charges can’t be answered in a day I’m afraid. As you consider my responses and the evidence I provide, let me invite you to consider who is truly guilty of the charges of being…
- A “false teacher”
- An “ungodly man”
- A “divisive person”
- And “unrepentant”
- As such, an “unbeliever”
After I finish responding to each and every one of these charges, I will indicate my defense is completed by posting the entire email thread containing the emails exchanged between the elders and myself on this blog. The reason for this full disclosure is to allow you to verify that each and every one of the charges they have brought against me in their emails have been responded to. After that, you may judge whether I am guilty as charged or not.
I only hope you will remember these 2 Scriptures as you evaluate my responses:
1. Prov 18v17 (ESV) : The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him.
Would you please consider all the facts before making up your mind?
First impressions shouldn’t be treated as firm conclusions until all the facts have been considered. Even unbelievers treat the accused as innocent until proven guilty.
2. Acts 17v11 (NIV): Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.
I will appeal to Scripture throughout my response papers. Please search and examine them carefully and see if what I have written is true.
Thank you,
Jeremy
PS: To the elders.
Prov 19v9: A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who breathes out lies will perish.
Rev 21v8: But as for... all liars, their portion will be in the lake burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.
May the Lord judge between us. May he add his condemnation to your excommunication if I am truly guilty. May he repay the unrepentant and reward the repentant. Amen.
