Cathedral of Glory’s pastor practising occult with the deceiving and demonic spirits to deceive his congregation & young ladies to be his “Soulmate” & bride
Johann Melchizedek Peter (JMP), previously known as Peter Tan has fallen yet again - for the 4th time (rumours suggest there is more).
I have great admiration for JMP’s immense knowledge of the Bible enabling him to deliver captivating sermons which have enriched me greatly. I have been a devout follower of his teaching since the early 1990s. However, in recent years, his teaching has shifted into areas of grave concerns. He claimed to be God's special "right-hand" chosen to redeem the fallen world from sex (which Adam failed). He communicates with celestial angels and focus heavily on heavenly visions, prophecies, extrabiblical teaching and frequent "special revelations from God". He would often speak about his grandeur fantasies of great signs and wonders coming. I wrote this with a heavy heart to warn other followers about the prevailing erroneous teaching and immorality of JMP. (Gal 1: 7-8 …there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed.”
In 1996, JMP was caught having years of affair with his adopted daughter while pastoring Tabernacle of Glory, Malaysia. He left the church with MYR$3 million debt, 2 legal suits against the church and unpaid rental of 6 months @ MYR$28,000/month and went to Australia. (“Prophetic Encounter’ by Drs. Paul & Christina Ang, his previous associate Pastor, Pg 49-51).
Some 10 years later, he established Cathedral of Glory (COG) in Sydney and Singapore. With no true repentance, he pursued a relationship with a young Korean lady in 2010 who sought counselling from him. On Mother’s Day Sunday when his wife did not turn up to church to be with the mothers, the response JMP gave was that the strain of ministry was taking a toll on her and needed rest. It was later reported that earlier that day, his wife had confronted him on finding a receipt for “two” in a city hotel. JMP became angry and pushed and hit his wife. The large bruise mark on her upper left arm had been photographed and shown to the leaders.
The young Korean lady later confessed that JMP wanted her to be his future bride after his wife dies. He convinced her that his wife had not long to live and that he indeed saw a vision of her demise and he would be single again. The victim would take her wife’s place by his side. He established a secret liaison with her offering to “… give her ‘sex education’; that it was ok, since they were more than ‘Pastor-Sheep’ but are now ‘Friends’. And friends can keep secrets and talk openly about these things between themselves. When she objected, he used scripture to manipulate the girl causing her to believe that is was ok to be ‘lovers’ with him. He would shower her with at least $20,000 worth of gifts” – money from your offerings?
Extract from the 7 pages “confession” of the young Korean lady:
“The first time he kissed me, he made me close my eyes and said that he had a surprise for me which the Lord had shown him to prepare. He then kissed me and said God gave him permission to do this to bring our relationship to a friendship level from just mentoring. I was really struggling to see him as a friend, as I always thought of him as a pastor, spiritual father and mentor. He kissed me a couple times more later when we met and then later I began to push him away because I just felt so uncomfortable. ….. he kissed me on my breasts and vagina with my clothes on while I was in a lot of pain at the hotel after the surgery on the second night, he did that to me while he thought I was sleeping, he did that to me while I was awake as well and said to me that he was trying to give me pleasure to try and get my mind off the pain. He made it sound like he was doing me a favor (I was in a lot of agony), and he get on top of me making me feel his penis with our clothes on, telling me that it was important so that I don’t lose my desire for men. And later, I accepted. I didn’t want to lose this opportunity from God thinking that God would also bless him as he blessed me.“
Both COG Sydney and Singapore leaders stepped down and issued a Statement (see attachment 1 Pastors Statement on JMP). JMP managed to rebuild his church with the few remnants.
With no true repentance, between 2013-15, a wealthy church member offered JMP free use of an apartment, he was caught in a relationship with her Myanmar maid ‘SP’ who attended the household chore for him. The church member discovered JMP ‘love letter’ and expensive gifts to SP. As JMP claimed that SP is his soulmate, the church member decided to terminate SP’s services and requested JMP move out of the apartment. The church member has since left the church.
Extract from love letter of JMP to SP:
“…..Know that I will always take care of you, your family (father & mother) and all your sisters and brother and ensure you have all the money you need. “ - money from your offerings? (see attachment 2, email from JMP to SP)
With no true repentance, in 2016 he found yet another soulmate. His wife discovered on his mediation file, her own name (which was previously written there) crossed out, replaced with ‘SP’, which was again crossed out and replaced with ‘LA’ (his latest targeted young lady). Distressed, she confronted JMP. She noticed JMP had bought much gifts for this lady’s family. She felt it was not good for him to favor one family over the rest of the church. She revealed that she knew he wanted the daughter of this family. JMP denied it demanding proof for her accusations. His wife showed him the mediation file with the young lady’s name. JMP became angry and threw a stool across the room. Given his history of domestic VIOLENCE, his wife ran barefooted from the house in fear that the argument would escalate to something physical. She said that as she left the house, he CURSED her repeatedly.
The young lady pursued by JMP was distressed about the situation. She felt totally helpless and unable to confide with anyone else. Once the church became aware, certain members from the leadership questioned the young lady. She opened up about the pressure and unease she felt to be JMP’s soulmate particularly since the ‘Seven Thunder Prophet’ in the church has seen ‘visions’ of her with him. Being teachable and humble, she went along with the ‘visions’, even though she had no peace or confirmation from God for herself, despite her extended periods of fasting and praying for confirmation. JMP had emailed to the lady his desire to establish a relationship with explicit sexual content that encouraging her to ‘have sex’ in their imaginations. The nature of the emails was absolutely inappropriate for any man to send to a woman he is NOT married to. Especially a Pastor. Any ‘vision’ received by anyone MUST be measured against Bible scripture.
The young lady addressed JMP as ‘dad’ in their email correspondents. Doesn’t that sound familiar – his adopted daughter also addressed him as dad.
Extract from JMP’s email to his victim:
JMP wrote, “ … LA, we both need to unite ourselves sexually in our souls …I still have sexual energy flowing within my body and I need to direct it somewhere…God has now already considered you as my wife, my spouse, my lover, my soulmate, my sexual partner…It is how a penis is supposed to function in the presence of the Bride. I am aroused and partially erected as I write this, and whenever I think of you ….. I knew that my soulmate and I would be special – that we would become the glorified Adam and Eve as Christ and His Bride, the church. And that we would be the chosen male and female to redeem the sexual act of intercourse because we would be restored like Adam and Eve and have no sin nature or death in us.” (see attachment 3, email from JMP to LA)
COG Sydney leadership stepped down and the church was dissolved leaving 2 members. The leadership have written an official church statement regarding their resignation (see attachment 4 Sydney church statement). In public discourse JMP pronounced judgement of death and loss of salvation on them putting FEAR in the congregation. As the facts were not well known to the Church members, many continued to support him.
The COG USA Church has since closed. Aruel, its pastor who was appointed ‘Seven Thunder Prophet’ stated in his resignation letter that he is undergoing counselling from tested and proven Leaders/Ministers who HONOR BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES. Obviously, he realized that his ‘visions’ were COUNTERFEIT and FAKE contradicting the WORD of GOD.
Taking advantage of his followers’ vulnerability, JMP created positions of Seven Thunder Prophet, 4 Creatures, 12 Disciples, 24 Elders, 30 warriors etc, proclaiming special end-time spiritual positions for them. The followers are deceived into believing how privileged one is to be God’s CHOSEN, one fears one will fail the ‘TEST’ and lose one’s eternal destiny, obeying the self-proclaimed ‘Right Hand of God’ follows. One choose to close one’s eyes to his ADULTEROUS SIN, accepting it as part and parcel of his marriage breakdown. Matt 5:28 “But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.”
JMP’s unbiblical teaching of him marrying a young girl to redeem the fallen world from sex (which Adam failed) and the prophecy of his wife’s death merely enables him to achieve his sexual fantasies and pleasure. His behavior is in the nature of a PERVERT preying upon one woman after another whilst deceiving you that he is the Adam without sin to deliver the world. 1 John 1:8 “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.”
I recalled that on 26th Sept 2016 during the Special Prayer meeting, JMP purported to break open the seal to heavenly scroll (query - is JMP the Lamb able to break the seal?). Aruel then read it out declaring amongst others that JMP is the Right Hand of God and the Personification of Christ. To personify Christ is to be the equivalent of Christ. Flowing from that, is the congregation to worship JMP? Further, to personify Christ he must be Christ like and have the personality of Christ. How can he who lives in adulterous sin be Christ like? Will a Right Hand of God live in adulterous sin? Due to his adulterous sin, he has opened door for the deceiving and demonic spirits to enter the church and create confusion in the flock leading to the closure of COG Sydney, COG USA and COG Miri.
Clear evidence is before us. You may choose to disbelieve. In the cyberage, you can easily access and verify the sources of information. I urge you brethren, the flock of JMP to turn from his FALSE teachings and evil practices. I have.
Revelation 13:9 “If anyone has an ear, let him hear.”
Yours in Christ
