China is no friend of people of faith but they are stuck because a growing number of Chinese people turning to the Christian faith, so many the Communist government can’t kill them all fast enough. Facing the daunting task of ‘faith-cleansing' the Chinese Communist government has restored to a different tactic, rewriting the Bible with a Communist spin, making it poison and unbelievable!
At the heart of the Chinese Communist Party's actions lies a fundamental concern - control. Throughout history, the pursuit of control has remained a prevailing theme, and in this context, the Gospel emerges as a beacon of hope, redemption, and unwavering divine authority.
In the vast landscape of China, a steadfast group of believers continues to persevere in their unwavering faith, despite facing relentless challenges imposed by the government. The Christian community in China, once thriving and vibrant, now finds itself navigating a treacherous path as it confronts a wave of suppression from authorities. As the Chinese government tightens its grip.
China, a nation boasting a substantial Christian populace, has emerged as a veritable crucible of unwavering devotion and steadfastness, as its governing authorities grapple with the burgeoning expansion of Christianity within its territorial confines.
In a remarkable development, the Christian community in China has witnessed a surge in numbers of faithful followers. This notable growth has propelled the Christian community to surpass the membership count of the Communist Party, a significant milestone in the religious landscape of the nation.
Notably, the underground church has played a pivotal role in fueling this exponential expansion, further solidifying the presence of Christianity in China. This extraordinary accomplishment has not been devoid of its fair share of obstacles.
The Chinese government's recent measures to assert greater control over religious practices have sparked a contentious struggle between the preservation of faith and the exercise of state authority.
In a remarkable display of determination, the Chinese government has embarked on an ambitious endeavor to "convert" the Bible. In a remarkable development, the Communist Chinese Party has embarked on an ambitious endeavor to revise Scripture, aiming to imbue it with socialist principles while removing passages are perceived as inconsistent with communist ideology.
The audacious endeavor to mold the very essence of Christian doctrine has ignited concern among the worldwide Christian community.
The Chinese populace has evidently grown dissatisfied with their previous endeavors to coerce Christians into renouncing their religious convictions. According to a vigilant observer closely monitoring the situation, it appears a new development has emerged, wherein individuals are endeavoring to modify the sacred Scripture in an attempt to sow confusion and impede the path towards embracing Christianity.
In a rather disconcerting instance, a high school textbook presents a modified rendition of the account featuring the woman ensnared in adultery, as chronicled in the eighth chapter of the Gospel of John.
In this revised account, the woman is subjected to a stoning, with Jesus himself participating, acknowledging his own fallibility by remarking, "I, too, am a sinner." In a stunning display of reinterpretation, the essence of Christianity's fundamental teachings is being distorted, casting a shadow over the government's relentless pursuit of dominance over religious expression.
The discernible intensification of these endeavors becomes apparent through the deliberate curtailment of religious literature specifically designed for the impressionable minds of young ones. In a recent development, there has been a notable prohibition on the distribution of Bibles specifically tailored for children.
This decision has sparked considerable controversy within the community, as it signifies a significant shift in the availability of religious literature for young readers.
Furthermore, the removal of Bible applications from digital platforms has been enforced with an authoritative hand, further exacerbating the concerns surrounding the accessibility of religious texts in the digital age.
These measures have undoubtedly ignited a fervent debate regarding the boundaries of religious freedom and the impact it has on the younger generation's spiritual development. In a deeply concerning manifestation of authority, a substantial number of youthful Chinese adherents of the Christian faith found themselves compelled to affix their signatures to documents renouncing their religious convictions in a highly visible manner.
Its profound message stands in stark contrast to a regime relentlessly seeks to exert dominance over every facet of existence. The recent release of the socialist translation of the Bible, as a component of the government's overarching strategy, represents yet another calculated maneuver in its continuous endeavor to mold Christianity according to its own agenda.
In the midst of this challenging backdrop, a resilient sense of faith persists among the devoted. In a courageous proclamation, a Chinese pastor fearlessly asserted, "The governing authorities have made a deliberate choice to target an adversary is impervious to confinement." In a rather disheartening turn of events, it appears they find themselves in a precarious position, teetering on the edge of an inevitable defeat.
The resolute determination exhibited by China's faithful Christians is a testament to their unwavering devotion, as they persistently congregate in clandestine places of worship, diligently engage in the study of divine scripture, and derive comfort from their steadfast belief.
Final Word: Should the growth of the Christian population in China persist, they could potentially become the dominant demographic. With such a majority, there is the potential to influence a government transformation and embrace Judeo-Christian principles and the sanctity of human life. If this pattern continues, it's conceivable China would send missionaries to America to evangelize those wicked immoral savages in the degenerate concrete jungles!

Christian values and traditions are the perfection of the tenets of faith and liberty that have their roots in and were developed in the Old Testament accounts of the Holy Bible. The Chinese, or anyone else for that matter, may edit or revise the Bible all that they want, however one cannot argue that Jesus Christ, the man and the Son of God, was not descended from the line of Jewish royalty, and the truth of His Word cannot be changed, and the gates of hell or the CCP shall not prevail against it. ALL of the apostles and first disciples of Christ were imperfect men and were also Jews, so the Judeo-Christian tradition upon which our systems of self-governance and justice cannot be understood without reference to that ancient history. All of the Founders read and drew inspiration from the entire Bible, including the Old Testament, and this has been extensively documented in their writings. We abandon that ancient wisdom at our own peril.
You ask "how connected is the left to the CCP;" I can only tell you the CPUSA (communist party USA( "bought" the Democrat party, lock, stock and barrel, in the 1960s and it has gone extremely leftward ever since.
Dems are sick so they are completely devoid of sanity!
I cannot argue that point.
Let's get this straight. America was NOT founded on "Judeo-Christian" values. It was founded solely on Christian values. There were no jews among the puritans The whole Judeo-Christian "relabeling" is a recent attempt by the zionists to rewrite history.
Virginia, one obscure pilgrim who "knew a few words of Hebrew" is a baseless arument to support Judeo-Christian values" as the basis for America's founding faith. The term "Judeo-Christian" was not even coined until the 19th century, and even then used to refer to Jewish converts to Christianity. The phrase was used more in the 20th century to give the image of a united American front against communism, fascism and atheism rather than a bonding or melding of the two very different religions.
Elizer Berkovitz was a rabbi, theologian and Orthodox educator. He wrote that "Judaism is Judaism because it rejects Christianity and Christianity is Christianity because it rejects Judaism". Jewish theologian Arthur Cohen also wrote in his book "The Myth of the Judeo-ChristianTradition" that the idea of Judeo-Christianism was "an invention of American politics". Rather profound, yes?
Jewish law professor Stephen Feldman viewed the idea of the "Judeo-Christian" ideology as "replacement theology" and this quote from his book is very telling:
"Once one recognizes that Christianity has historically engendered antisemitism, then this so-called tradition appears as dangerous Christian dogma (at least from a Jewish perspective). For Christians, the concept of a Judeo-Christian tradition comfortably suggests that Judaism progresses into Christianity—that Judaism is somehow completed in Christianity. The concept of a Judeo-Christian tradition flows from the Christian theology of supersession, whereby the Christian covenant (or Testament) with God supersedes the Jewish one. Christianity, according to this belief, reforms and replaces Judaism. The belief, therefore, implies, first, that Judaism needs reformation and replacement, and second, that modern Judaism remains merely as a "relic". Most importantly the belief of the Judeo-Christian tradition insidiously obscures the real and significant differences between Judaism and Christianity."
So term "Judeo-Christian" is not only a falsification but is also considered a genuine insult to many.
Virginia, you are a spirited and worthy contender. If there are more out there like you, I am convinced the future of our country is, will remain, in good hands.
The Puritans had fled persecution for their faith which was based upon the Bible, and included both the Old and the New Testaments. They even brought a printing press on the Mayflower with which they could print Bibles and other publications, and it was illegal to own one at that time in many countries in Europe.
IMO - I think what RickMik was stating is the Torah is also part of the Bible which includes the 10 Commandments and is what Christians embrace as Christian values based upon the foundation of the Hebrew Old Testament. I don't see it as a attempt to rewrite history but to place the whole Bible in the center of American values.
Yep, and Judeo-Christian values have been adopted by US citizens from all over the world and of many creeds and cultures. Probably because they work, whether or not one accepts the religious doctrine of any particular faith tradition.
