Churches throughout China have been forced to remove displays of the Ten Commandments and religious imagery and replace them with quotes and portraits of President Xi Jinping.
BEIJING, January 6, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — New draconian rules for religious groups are set to go into place in China requiring that they “spread Communist Party principles.”
China’s totalitarian government promulgated new rules on December 30 that will place virtually all aspects of religious life under the control of the Communist Party. The “administrative measures” consist of six chapters and 41 articles governing the “organization, functions, supervision and management of religious groups,” which would include religious doctrine, annual and daily activities, and rallies.
The new rules go into force on February 1 and come as part of a growing crackdown by Chinese communists on religion. For example, about 1 million Muslim Uighur people are being kept in re-education camps, where some have been subjected to torture. Christian churches have been razed by authorities, who have curtailed the independence of Christian ministers. Two million Christians and Buddhist are being kept in detention. Jewish communities have also been harassed.
In concert with the government’s policy of “sinicization,” which is intended to underscore Chinese culture and socialist polity, the new rules reinforce policies announced in 2017 to reinterpret Christian teachings according to socialist doctrine. Besides its persecution of Christian and Muslim believers for supposedly foreign doctrines in its war on religion, China has mercilessly pursued members of the native-born spiritualist Falun Gong movement for more than 20 years.

I know the Pope is all on board.
Heck, the church has been suckin& up to mans bs from the beginning, Christ said, they did not understand the earthly things much less heavenly, it’s better than nothing, But anything on earth representing God Almighty..Oh pleeeease...
You beat me to it, this pope is a damned disgrace
lol, I’ll leave the joke off...
Dew neh loh moh!
Belial insists on dictating what God’s laws are.
There is nothing Christian at all about abolishing family, private property, religion and national borders.
replace them with quotes and portraits of President Xi Jinping.
In concert with the government’s policy of “Sinicization,” which is intended to underscore Chinese culture and socialist polity …This sounds just too close to “Aryanization”, which was pushed by the National Socialist German Workers’ Party. This policy makes it clear that there is actually no difference between communism and Nazism.
Mayor Pete agrees
Ten of the 11 TRUE Apostles suffered excruciating deaths by NOT denying Jesus and NOT worshiping Caesar. TRUE Christians in China will REFUSE to preach the ‘gospel’ of Chairman Mao. False Christians will agree.
May God grant the former ones His Grace.
The Pope, President Xi and Karl Marx walk into a bar....
Blessed are the cheese makers.
I would not do well in China.
I agree, if by that you are referring to the entire dairy industry.
smile..
That shouldn’t be a problem. It’s already being done without government crackdown all over the globe. It’s called “the social gospel,” initiated by state-supported churches everywhere.
Cause nothing says Christianity like communism :)
Let US pray that misguided; immigration, Islam, and climate bridge builder Pope Francis gets a Colonel Boggie moment ( the lead character in the movie Bridge On The River Qwai played by Alex Guinness) and does a mea culpa and finally decides to question the results of what he’s done what he’s done and falls on the detonator which destroys the bridges he built) and resigns. Rather than being burned at the stake for heresy/s
awww no not heresy too..lol
