China's tight control over Christianity has recently extended to the Bible.
China shocked the world when it was accused of changing the story of an adulterous woman in John 8 from one in which Jesus forgave her to one in which Jesus stoned her to death.
The recent revelation that local Communist Party officials across China's Henan province forced Protestant churches to replace the Ten Commandments with the Xi Jinping Addendum has also caused shockwaves, but it's astonishing and alarming that the Chinese authorities are taking the extreme step of rewriting the Bible to suit their own tastes. It's reminiscent of the grisly insanity of the Chinese Communist Party under Mao Tse-tung, who labeled all religions as “opium” (drugs) and sought to eradicate them.
The Chinese authorities' persecution-level control over Christianity is due to the fact that Xi Jinping's regime sees Western ideologies and ideas as the greatest enemy of his permanent rule. They've even gone so far as to falsify the Bible, indicating that they're extremely wary of the influence of Western Christian culture on the masses.
Chinese authorities are increasingly tightening controls on religious activities, including churches and temples,
The Law on the Management of Places of Religious Activities further tightens state control over religious organizations and facilities, including churches, further curtailing religious activity.
At the top of the list of reasons and objectives for China's tightening of control over Christianity is Xi Jinping's desire to remain in power indefinitely. His political desire to outlive his term as head of state and become the “emperor” is the first thing he wants to eradicate. It's a kind of static purge.
But as with all dictators, there is no ruler in the world who has ever successfully fought religion. The Roman Emperor Nero, who brutally executed and persecuted Christians, thought he was on top of the world, but he was forced to flee and take his own life, while the Christians hid in the catacombs and grew more vigorous in their faith.
Ezek 31:10-11
" 'Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: Because it towered on high, lifting its top above the thick foliage, and because it was proud of its height, I handed it over to the ruler of the nations, for him to deal with according to its wickedness. I cast it aside,
🙏 Please pray
1. rebuke the pride of the officials and authorities in China who fearlessly rewrite the Bible, the Word of God, to suit their own purposes. 2. reveal Yourself in the land of China as the God of God in the dealings of those who mock and scoff at You. Break the neck of their pride, uproot and annihilate all influence over it, and cause all those who sympathize with it to tremble in fear. We sever all evil ties to communist ideas this hour, in the name of Jesus.
2. enable the global church to distribute Bibles to Chinese Christians in more areas of the world so that they may know the Bible without distortion. Give the Chinese church the boldness of faith to defend their faith before principalities and powers, and to pass on to their children the overcoming faith that lives by the word of truth.
3. Let the children of the Church of China follow the path of the ancients of faith, and let the one million holy generation of the Church of China arise in the last days.
