As someone with experience with this both internets are evil, but you will never know it, due to propoganda from both sides subtly telling users
"you need us, you need us forever!", "online shopping is convinient, don't go out, we come to you, by the way don't forget to buy that plastic junk you never asked for!" "no need for legal tender, just use virtual money, yeah!", "Free internet space to hold ALL of your images! don't mind the face recognition, it's there to help you!" "dont use the library anymore, we can deliver news for you, we know what you like, trust us!" |

all Good points Quiet Christian 😊. Everyone today wants to find something in common with false religions, where there are none. This article might work for works based cults like catholism, the many pentacostals, Seven day adventism, all who rely on the Law of moses for their salvation. They can't start with grace of Jesus, and therefore must start with the idolatery of the Pharisee. "They answered him, "We are offspring of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How is it that you say, 'You will become free'?" Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin. I know that you are offspring of Abraham; yet you seek to kill me because my word finds no place in you.
John 8:33-34, 37 |

Every generation fails to learn from the past.we should of learned from world war 2 that freedom came with a high price Cold war should of taught us that worldviews can be evil, communism is evil and some things should not be tolerated! Sept 11, privacy and security are precious things indeed, but were given up for perceived safety. The next generation clearly on track to be 100% dependant on google, ipads, facebook,etc those will becone much more important than even parents, family! |

Thankfully it's the chinese new year, and I have one month break with my family in Canada.but last month many of the teachers are experiencing burn out, because it is the end of the school semester soon. last week a student jumped out from one of my teaching buildings and committed suicide, I was at home ready to leave, so i missed it, but the taxi driver would not.stop talking about it. The holidays have gotten quite busy, i got some surprise lectures I needed to prepare, (which turned out i did not have to do anything, just free talk with the students), correct and grade final exams, deal with complaining from failed students, the bible school asked me to do a class on the image of God, it went well. a retired gospel singer from california hosted a party, and invited me. She has a genuine heart, but with bad theology. Saturday the Catholic family invite me to their home and tried to convert me. They asked the question "you don't KNOW if you are the elect of God, and therefore must do everything you can to look like one". He is really annoying, but is highly respected. |

Last month I was wandering around downtown, amidst all the shopping malls, I could see a light, it came from a cross steeple attached to the 3 self church. I'm not denominational guy, but there believers in those churches, every sunday you have literraly thousands of people coming to this large building, speakers blarring out "jesus loves me this i know" chinese hymn, and what do you see inside: Old people, retired, housewives, crammed into tiny pews, cold, bible open, notebooks open, as the female preacher speaks on a chosen verse of the bible. Many have to be put in a different room, with a tv re-broadcast, because
it's just so full.Not perfect theology, but they got the gospel right, I think that's the type of fellowship the local believers want to protect. So far it has been allowed, none has been arrested there. No emperor worship to be found inside, they have a good testimony with the government, known as peacekeepers. |

2. Bad journalism exposes this piece as nothing more than propoganda: Article says:
This month, another congregation in the Chinese capital, Cathedral of the Immaculate, has been shut down indefinitely for repairs. Some Catholics consider the repairs to be “a veiled attempt to hamper Christmas celebrations, which attract thousands of people, even non-Christians" "some Catholics?!?" This is crappy journalism. It's propoganda. Who are these "some" catholics? Is this a middle school paper report? and once again article says: "In certain provinces, the CPC has campaigned to remove Christian symbols from Christians’ homes and replace them with pictures of the president;" certain provinces?!? This is largerly an undocumented fact, I have asked around Christian leaders, and they say it was the Believers who wanted communism introduced into their church. Whatever, it's just rumor and innuendo, that should not be news worthy, because it is not fact checked. |

Just to be more organized here are 3 good articles to explain the Chinese Church situation: From a reformed pastor: https://www.chinasource.org/resource-library/chinese-church-voices/reflections-from-a-reformed-perspective-on-the-challenges-faced-by-the-church-in-china From a 3 self pastor: https://www.chinasource.org/resource-library/chinese-church-voices/reflections-from-a-three-self-pastor-on-the-challenges-faced-by-the-church-in-china From another house church pastor: https://www.chinasource.org/resource-library/chinese-church-voices/reflections-from-a-three-self-pastor-on-the-challenges-faced-by-the-church-in-china |

First: It is possible to be registered and be outside the 3 self church.
That is allowed. There is a large beijing church every sunday, and if they did not allow female pastors, I would attend it, because I believe they are doing a good job. Last week they were preaching through the book of acts.As for children, yes it is illegal to bring them to church, and this start to be enforced last month. It upset many people, but some call it a blessing, as it forces parents to be accountable for their kids, and not some 20 year old stranger who graduated bible school. In my opinion, and it's mine convinction, is that the Christians are too influenced by nationalism and patriotism, that many want China to embrace Christianity for it's moral value, many of the hymns are based on "God bless China!". You can glance at some articles here for more info:

I guess what I want to say clearly:The article headline makes it seem like all churches are persecuted, but actually it is only 1 church. And it is a controversial church. Just google search it, and you get the same results: Victims! 2nd: I feel like Christians can run away from persecution, but actually running towards it, is silly. We do not seek out to be persecuted! 3. Few christians respect this church, both registered and underground. I know it's a bold claim, but You will never find a biblically sound missionary praising this church. Go and find one. 4. Their actions actually anger the government and paint a horrible for the locals, who do register and follow the laws of the land. But I am convinced that the devil is using this to bring about real persecution, but now to all churches. |
