Chinese Government Begins ‘Sinicization’ Campaign Of Burning Bibles, Forcing Christians To Sign Papers Renouncing Their Faith
We are not now in the time of Jacob’s trouble, the great tribulation, nor shall the Church ever be, but Christians in China are getting a taste of what Tribulation Saints after the Rapture of the Church will experience. The Chinese government is burning bibles, preventing Internet bible downloads, and closing and burning churches. And in a chilling throwback to what the Catholic Church did to believers in the Spanish Inquisition, the government is forcing Chinese Christians to sign documents renouncing their faith in Jesus Christ, or pay the price.
Please pray for all Christians around the world experiencing persecution, but especially for the Christians in China who are at this moment paying a huge price, and for some the ultimate price, for their faith in Jesus Christ.
“Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.” Matthew 24:9 (KJV)
FROM FOX NEWS: The suppression of religious freedoms is part of an official campaign to “Sinicize” religion by demanding loyalty to the atheist Communist party and removing any potential challenge to the party’s power in the country. “The international community should be alarmed and outraged for this blatant violation of freedom of religion and belief,” Bob Fu of China Aid, said.
“The situation for Chinese #Christians becomes more dire by the day. We are working tirelessly to put maximum pressure on China stop the persecution,” Jay Sekulow, President Trump attorney and Chief Counsel at the American Center for Law & Justice (ACLJ), wrote in a tweet.
The reason Chinese officials are burning Bibles (and deleting Bible downloads from the Chinese internet) is that only the government-approved version of the Bible is allowed. In one of the more grotesque abuses of the “Sinicization” program, images of Jesus have been replaced with photos of Xi. In August, Chinese police raided a Christian summer camp, sent the two parish priests who organized the event packing, and replaced them with “state-approved priests.” source
The persecution of Christians in China is nothing new. A report by the watchdog group Freedom House found that Christians and other religious groups in China have been persecuted since 2012, Fox News reported.
A third of all religious believers in China who belong to a faith group were also found to face “high” to “very high” levels of persecution, which ranges from bureaucratic harassment and economic exploitation to harsh prison terms and even violence, the report said.
But experts and activists say the Chinese government is now waging the most severe suppression of Christianity in the country since religious freedoms were granted by the Chinese constitution in 1982.

The escalating anti-Christian campaign coincides with President Xi Jinping recent consolidation of power that made him the most powerful Chinese leader since Mao Zedong, the notorious communist leader responsible for millions of deaths.
Activists reportedly filmed footage of what appeared to be piles of burning bibles and forms declaring that the signatories had rejected their faith. The authorities allegedly forced the believers to sign the forms or risk being expelled from school or loosing welfare benefits.
A Christian Pastor in the Henan city of Nanyang, whose name was not identified out of fear of retaliation by the authorities, reportedly confirmed that crosses, bibles and furniture were burned during a raid on his church on Sept. 5. READ MORE

If all humans come to recognise that each and every religion is just as fanciful and medieval as each other,and turned to secularism,inate
human compassion,and reason, the earth would be a much nicer,and a much safer place to live.
Yes there would still be evil people,but it would at least cut out those who are committing evil on behalf of some non-existant deity.

Thank you. It never takes a religious belief in order for humans to treat each other as they desire to be treated.
Religion divides, just like any other ideology, yet due to fear of death, religion ranks uppermost in many folks lives. That is ok
and that is their business, but the problem are those who use religion to control others and incite violence or try to justify
the supposed actions of their gods who kill and use genocidal tactics against humans.
We are all one, but that would mean a powerful unity, so there must exist all forms of division and divisive ideologies and beliefs,
whether it is religion or politics, or whatever, it all serves the purpose of disunity and division, getting one side to believe they are superior and they have “the truth”.
Much of it all is a lie, fabrication, illusion, yet it is believed to be “truth”. Get people willing to die for that “truth” and you have the makings of a sick society and a violent predatory human being.

Thank you,for another rare voice in a wilderness of religious madness of all persuasions.
As Steven Weinberg famously said,
With or without religion, good people can behave well and bad people can do evil; but for good people to do evil—that takes religion.
From genocide to genital mutilation, to simple surrender of reason, we can get by better without this.
