    Default China Going to REWRITE The BIBLE

    I think the world has gone mad... and China just never ceases to find new ways to control it's people. What a shitty nation.

    -----------------

    China's Communists Aim to Rewrite the Bible to 'Create a New Version of Christianity'

    As the Chinese coronavirus distracts the world, the Chinese Communist Party has ratcheted up its crackdown on religious freedom, and sources say President Xi Jinping is working on rewriting the Bible itself to “create a new version of Christianity shorn of its transcendent visions and values.”

    Xi Lian, a professor at Duke University Divinity School, told The Wall Street Journal‘s Matthew Taylor King that Beijing doesn’t just want to repress religion — the Chinese Communist Party wants to transform it.

    Lian said Beijing wants to “drain Christianity of its spirit.” China’s state-run Xinhua News Agency reported last year that Politburo Standing Committee member Wang Yang had presided over a meeting of so-called scholars and “religious people from the grassroots level” to discuss “making accurate and authoritative interpretations of classical doctrines to keep pace with the times.”

    The Chinese Communist Party sees Christianity, which is likely China’s largest-growing religion, as a unique threat, Lian insisted. He mentioned three key reasons: Christianity’s international connection to believers inside and outside of China; Christianity’s congregational strength — “You have this ability to mobilize a stable, reliable community;” and the faith’s “transcendent vision, transcendent values,” which form a “moral and ideological rivalry” to communism.

    Upon further review, what a scam. Looks to me like China already re-wrote the Bible in true Marxist fashion and been indoctrinating our society via our own freedoms for years.

    The truth will survive no matter how hard anyone tries to suppress it.

    Default What good would it do them?

    The True Christians in America won't be swayed, and the young people who claim they do not believe in ANY GOD...won't have any time...even for a NEW Version of a Book they Ignore.

    Interesting statement. "Truth" is whatever whoever is in power says it is. What our generation believes may not even be available information to our great grandchildren.

    I feel if we believers care about what our great grandchildren learn. It is our job to make certain that WE at least, be the ones who pass our beliefs on to them. As many would say.
    It's what God would expect of us in return for being faithful to him.

    On the other hand. It's not my job, or anyone else's to convince the non-believers I am right. If they are truly honest with themselves. It will be up to them to decide...What to believe.

    I hear ya.

    Given the current state of the Nation, I haven't a whole lot of faith in it, nor society. The first thing to go in Marxism is God. Or the ones who believe in Him. Matters not which to the collective.

    I know a lot of what my grandfather taught me stuck. Best I can hope for with the my grandkids.

    What this means is that God’s word will not be denied. It will be read and heard and understood regardless of the forces against it.
    It is more powerful than atheists, more powerful than progressives, and more powerful than the Chinese govt.
