salah.........Burj Khalifah is the tallest building in the world....
Melaka fell in 1511. In 1521, a church was built. Though no longer in use, it was the first church not just on the peninsular but perhaps in SEA.

St Augustine in Florida was only founded in 1565.

huh, I thought the first was the one in the 18th century in Malacca. But it's not really fair to say the NA natives had "nothing" though tongue.gif

New huge churches are mostly Christian and don't follow those catholic architecture. Most churches register as a non profit organization and built on commercial land. There are 0 new license offered other than those existing during mahathir era . So most have to pay assessment at a commercial rate

I think you mean Protestant, Catholics are Christians too.

Or non-denom.

The term Protestant is strictly those communions that broke off during the reformation. Despite that, it's better to use the self-prescribed appellation of those communities. Lutherans, Baptist, Methodists etc

ya that would be more accurate

Protestant began when King Henry merajuk cannot kahwin janda as opposed by Pope. The King so frustrated that he took almost entire churches in England from Catholics and renamed it as Protestant hence the name.

SDA - Seventh Day Adventist church, well this Christian sect formed shortly after some failed prophecy of Doomsday in U.S.

As I said before, a religion is better off with one version only

Protestant movement started by Martin Luther I believe, King Henry was only responsible for the Anglican Church, which is almost identical to the Roman Catholic church.

Not arguing but warning just how easy some crooks abuse church/belief system to profits themselves. Church = Business?

Even Jesus hated those greedy traders selling items at church compound and chased them all away. "Do not mess my Father's house you XXX" Hey maybe Jesus cursed a lot too who knows eh!

This is mainly a problem in the US, it happens in Malaysian churches too, but on a much smaller scale.

No lah. Desway it's called the Church of England, with the sovereign as the head.

It's interesting to see history in action. Many people, especially the aristocrats, renounced catholicism and converted to anglicanism because it was to their interests. Commoners also did that because it was fashionable and it came with perks. That being said, many still practiced the 'old faith' in secret even though they were publicly anglicans.

Now contrast that to the communists in China. In China, no one actually believes in the communist cause anymore, but people still join the party because members can get privileges, like gahmen contracts, preferences treatments for loans or applications etc. You can see this in Msia too, be it on religious or political lines.

Last time I go China, I went to a underground house church for university students, a lot of them were party members laugh.gif

CHC is a charismatic church, so they are more daring in their conversion efforts and they are much more emotional which makes them easy to attract emotional vulnerable members of our society
