As part of a push to "sinicize" religion, the Chinese Communist Party has embarked on a 10-year project to rewrite the Bible and other religious texts.
In the Gospel of John, Jesus famously confronts the accusers a woman caught committing adultery, saying "let the one among you who is guiltless be the first to throw a stone at her."
The chastened accusers slink away and Jesus says to the woman, "‘Has no one condemned you?' 'No one, sir,' she replied. 'Neither do I condemn you,' said Jesus. 'Go away, and from this moment sin no more.'"
Unless you’re a CCP official. Then it's a story of a dissident challenging the authority of the state. A possible sneak preview of what a Bible with socialist characteristics might look like appeared in a Chinese university textbook in 2020. The rewritten Gospel of John excerpt ends, not with mercy, but with Jesus himself stoning the adulterous woman to death.
Across Henan province, local CCP officials forced Protestant churches to replace the Ten Commandments with Xi Jinping quotes. "Thou shalt have no other gods before Me," became diktats like: "Resolutely guard against the infiltration of Western ideology."
The 10-year project to rewrite the Bible, Quran and other sacred texts is all part of Xi Jinping’s quest to make the faithful serve the party rather than God.

The Bible says to not do that. They will incur the wrath of God.
Banned in China
The 1959 US movie spectacular, “Ben Hur,” was banned in China under the regime of Mao Zedong
for containing “propaganda of superstitious beliefs”........namely Christianity.
They are going to have to get in line.
King James already did all that work.
That was mohammad you Chi-Com dopes.
Rev. 22:18: 18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, 19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.
20 He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!
21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all.[d] Amen.
Yep.
I suggest they read carefully the last chapter of the last book of the Bible. There are severe warnings for anyone who would dare to tamper with God’s revelation.
The American Communist party aka Democrats have been trying to do this for decades.
Turns out God’s word is not so easily silenced. Because well He is God.
In 2019, Xi proclaimed that the 10 Commandments must be replaced by his 10 sayings.
Within weeks the corona pandemic started.

Honestly, that’s a riot.
I mean, it’s blasphemous.
But in the Party’s zeal to “correct” they beclown themselves.
Resolutely guard against the infiltration of Western ideology. …Where does Hsi Chin-p’ing think Karl Marx came from?!?
Cant wait for the audio book version and hearing them pronounce “Sodom and Gomollah”, “The Lo Men Centulian” and “The Gospel According to Luth!”
Oh by the way this is the first step to a unified One World Religion that places the State and “humanism” before God. Even a light perusal of Revelations tells how that goes…
It’s the Newspeak Translation of the Bible.
LOL “Sodom and Kamala”
Orthodox Jewish site says that the origin of not changing the Bible may be found in:
Deuteronomy 17:18-20
And it will be, when he sits upon his royal throne, that he shall write for himself two copies of this Torah on a scroll from [that Torah which is] before the Levitic kohanim.
And it shall be with him, and he shall read it all the days of his life, so that he may learn to fear the Lord, his God, to keep all the words of this Torah and these statutes, to perform them,
20
so that his heart will not be haughty over his brothers, and so that he will not turn away from the commandment, either to the right or to the left, in order that he may prolong [his] days in his kingdom, he and his sons, among Israel.
///////////////////////////////
The 1800s saw the battles of the Reform and Conservative branches breaking away to set up their own styles of observance and many things were “not meaningful” to them.
The Orthodox said they were deviating to the left or to the right from the Bible (Torah).
Forbidden to change the words to suit themselves and the changing times.
HAHAHAHA!
