Rep. Mike Gallagher – Fox News July 17, 2023
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.'”
A beautiful story of forgiveness and mercy.
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.
At the 19th Party Congress, Chairman Xi declared “We will… insist on the sinicization of Chinese religions, and provide active guidance for religion and socialism to coexist.”
Let me translate: Xi Jinping has no problem with the first commandment, just so long as he and the CCP are playing the role of God.
You might expect the Vatican, the leaders of the largest Christian congregation in the world, to be incensed and defiant. Unfortunately, you’d be wrong.
In a secret 2018 negotiation, the Vatican agreed to allow the CCP to select Catholic bishops in China, supposedly in exchange for vague reassurances of “safety” for some Catholic congregations which were immediately abrogated.
The CCP wants the authority to select the next Dalai Lama, a sacred tradition in Tibetan Buddhism. Tibetan Buddhists are attempting to stand up to CCP coercion, but Beijing counters that even Pope Francis, leader of the mighty Catholic Church, accepts their authority over Church leadership.
Religion’s power is tantalizing to the CCP — what better demonstration of party supremacy than bringing global religions to heel?
The PRC constitution states that citizens “enjoy freedom of religious belief,” but, of course, the CCP’s definition of “freedom” bears a much closer resemblance to what we’d call oppression.
The United Front Work Department manages religious affairs in China because religion is a tool to be coerced, co-opted and corrupted to advance party goals and, once harnessed, control people’s minds.
Only five faiths are officially recognized. Less-established faiths face even more intense persecution. The Falun Gong remains an unfamiliar spiritual practice to many outside China, but that does not make their suffering at the hands of the CCP any less real.
Falun Gong practitioner is about to get arrested for holding banner that says “Truth Compassion Tolerance” in Tiananmen Square, Beijing.
The State Department estimated that at times half of the population of China’s “Reeducation through Labor” camps, or modern gulags, were Falun Gong adherents. Thousands were tortured to death and there have been widespread reports of on-demand organ harvesting from Falun Gong prisoners.
But it is in Tibet and Xinjiang that we see the CCP’s unsanitized, brutal attitude toward religion. While other faiths are persecuted throughout China, Buddhists and Muslims in the far west of the country are facing, quite simply, the attempted annihilation of their faith and, in some cases, their population.
The CCP is committing genocide, the crime above all crimes, in Xinjiang while some of the world’s religious leaders, like Pope Francis, barely murmur a word in opposition.
Tahir Hamut Izgil, a Uyghur poet, described in The Atlantic how the PRC government “had required all Uyghurs there to hand over any religious items they held … religious books, prayer rugs, prayer beads, articles of clothing. Some were unwilling to part with their Qurans, but with neighbors and even relatives betraying one another, those who kept them were quickly found out, detained, and harshly punished.”
One Uyghur woman related to Freedom House that “[n]ow the rule is, if I go to your house, read some Quran, pray together, and the government finds out, you go to jail.” Maya Wang, a researcher at Human Rights Watch, summed it up: “The [Chinese] government’s religious restrictions are now so stringent that it has effectively outlawed the practice of Islam.”
The CCP is also perpetrating a slow-motion cultural genocide across China’s west and north, targeting the Muslim and Buddhist faiths and the identities of the Tibetans, Uyghurs, Kyrgiz, southern Mongolians, and other ethno-religious minority groups.
Buddhist statues are bulldozed. Monasteries are gutted. Mosques are destroyed. Children are forcibly separated from families and packed off to colonial boarding schools where religion and native languages are often forbidden.
Yet, even under intense persecution, faith persists throughout China and the number of faithful grows. In my work in Congress, I’ve heard unthinkable stories of religious oppression. But I’ve also listened to accounts of underground churches, brave clergy, and steadfast believers every bit as courageous as saints of the early Church.
While Chairman Mao called religion “poison,” I’ve come to believe that the CCP’s blood-stained record of religious persecution is actually just a battle within their broader ongoing war on the human spirit, on our very capacity to reach for something higher.
The CCP wishes for there to be nothing higher than their authority, and views love for anything besides their Marxist-Leninist regime with vicious jealousy.
In an interview with The Guardian, the pastor of one Chinese church stated, “In this war, in Xinjiang, in Shanghai, in Beijing, in Chengdu, the rulers have chosen an enemy that can never be imprisoned – the soul of man.” The pastor ended with an assessment that we must make come true: “[The PRC rulers] are doomed to lose.”

Chairman Xi is absolutely right.
Never allow a conflict between faith and nation.
The United States is ruled by a tiny nation because born-again Rapture Christians in the US insist on carrying signs saying KING DAVID NOT CAMP DAVID… which refers to a Presidential retreat where decisions are made.
These “Christians” are saying that Israel is more important to them then their own nation, people and government.
My guess is China has been watching other nations real close as they modernized and the one thing they will not tolerate is their citizens divided as to who to obey… Here or There.
So they’re making it clear China can rule the world because — almost along among advanced nations — they refuse to let the nation-wreckers a toe hold on the people’s minds.
It just means that these religions are getting some of their own medicine, centuries after they embarked on their schemes for world dominance by way of terrorism, but I admit the humans are just victims, whether of the Vatican or the Communist Party. We can probably call the CCP a China-worshipping religion
Christianity was invented by the Flavian Caesars with the help of Romanised Jews. It was a combination of classical stoicism and Jewish prophetic; prophecy that is written after events but made to look like it was prior – an old conjuror’s trick. The stoicism is there to make slaves comfortable with their station. Slaves were a huge proportion of the Roman Empire. I assert that slavery is a relative term that has always been a condition of one group of human being since civilisation arose.
Mathew 21 and 22 contains some interesting monetary and fiscal policy from Jesus. “Jesus” being the Roman civic conscience manifested as a mythical character for the consumption by Jews. It was an attempted poisoning of the mindspace as much as contemporary propaganda attempts.
Jesus does not like the subversion of the Roman currency by only allowing the use of the half-shekel as a temple tithe. The objection is often cited as “usury”. In this case it is not. Nevertheless, one can see profiteering between the money changers and the priests.
Mathew 22 contains the famous “render unto Caesar” passage. “Pay your taxes”. The alleged writer Mathew was supposed to be a tax collector. Once again the Roman conscience is inserted into the intended hijacking of Jewish religion by saying tax-collectors aren’t that bad.
The Jew as a collective get a bad press. That they have captured Christianity since in no way disguises that Christianity was a psyop initially devised against “rebellious” Jews.
For those interested in this, read “Caesar’s Messiah” by Joesph Atwill. My analysis is in addition to his.
Bravo to The Man who said “In this war, in Xinjiang, in Shanghai, in Beijing, in Chengdu, the rulers have chosen an enemy that can never be imprisoned – the soul of man.”
CCP is (((Israel Epstein))) and for that we will thrash its ass.
I cannot understand the point of re-writing the Bible, Quran, etc. Who is expected to swallow this re-write? Surely not the Chinese converts to these non-indigenous religions! This is so unlike the rationalise voice of China, e.g. in the context of the Ukrainian war.
Has Rep. Mike Gallagher got something wrong?
“It has served us well, this myth of Christ” – Pope Leo X , aka Giovanni Medici, 1475-1521
Lorenzo Medici of the banking dynasty — as their fortunes were receding — entered the racket of organised religion by making sure his son, Giovanni en route to later becoming pope, became a cardinal at the age of thirteen.
As Leo X, the Medici became the pope Henry VIII tangled with. Unfortunately for Henry, Leo X was under the control of Catherine of Aragorn’s nephew— The Holy Roman Emperor, an office like the Catholic Church that was also a relic of the Roman Empire — otherwise divorce/annulment could have come. The veneer of “goodness” has always steered ordinary people to the whims of its darker purpose: to get poor people to do what the rich want them to do…
It is interesting that the Catholic Church was against usury. The Medicis disguised interest by way of foreign exchange methods. Suffice to say, the Protestant Church (Burger King), possibly influenced by Jews antagonistic to the power of the Catholic Church (McDonalds) freed the Protestant countries by removing the hypocrisy about lending.
I might added that it is not lending — usury/finance — that is bad in itself, it is the debasement of a currency by the creation of private money bank money. And again the Medicis were pioneers of this via fractional reserve banking.
Organised religion is simply an adjunct of political power. The Christian religion has continually been treated like a ball of plasticine that can create outer forms to serve political process. When times change, the plasticine is created back into a ball. At one time slavery is good, at another the plasticine is rolled in and the out again, and informs us our daughters should marry Africans and carbon is bad…I think it’s time the plasticine was binned. Not everyone can change the religion to suit their marriage preference like Henry VIII though. The Chinese are simply doing what others have done; to use a biblical phrase, “there’s nothing new under the sun”.
lt’s highly probable that he’s a ‘jewe’ (podperson)…
don’t believe me?..
There’s plenty of evidence..enlighten yourself with hard fact here…

“The Chinese Communist Party is rewriting the Bible”
Yeah right???
The Jews want to rewrite the Bible, they find it a little too much anti-Jew.
These days what’s good for the CCP is good for our disappearing freedoms and liberties. We have a Republican congressman warning us of China.
Ten years from now most Americans will probably wish they were living in China instead of what was once the good old USofA.
PS: if you rewrite the Bible the Bible is no longer the Bible. Changing who should be worshiped more than the creator just ain’t gonna fly.
The bible has been re written so many times over the centuries
the original in chldean and greek bears little relation to the modern stuff
In the holy land of palestine the IDF confiscate any historical finds such as payri
or stone carvings
if it is what they want to push
it is released otherwise so much is destroyed
failure to hand over any manuscripts found in caves can mean yours and your relatives hoses are bulldozed your money taken and you ut out as refugees
Apparently the author never read Caesar’s Messiah by Joe Atwill.
http://www.caesarsmessiah.com/
He proves Rome wrote the New Testament, he proves Josephus was the primary author, he proves that Rome wrote a new sun god myth to tame the zealot Jews.
Jesus the Jewish messiah came to save his people, the Jews. And if you ain’t a Jew then the NT is not for you.
All of Christianity got it wrong.
It doesn’t matter what the Bible says anyways, because it is all myth to control the masses. The claims are untrue, Jesus never existed, there is no heaven or hell (except the hell on earth caused by religion).
If you think God wrote the Bible then explain Romans 13.
The State wrote the Bible, the State tells you to be obedient and pay taxes, NOT GOD.
What China is doing is appalling, but logical. They want total power, they want you enslaved at the soul level, so you do not even know you are enslaved. I am glad I am not some yellow man, a cowardly chink who has no fight of freedom left in him.
Fuck Communism and fuck the Jews who invented it.
But that is all surface bullshit, the real story of your enslavement started long ago when humans were created in a test tube. The only thing that should matter to you, not the stupid fable of some Jew man god who never existed, is how humanity got to earth.
Our origin is the only thing that matters, which is why it is aggressively hidden by the State.
They want you enslaved, so they teach you this myth that God created you in Eden. But it was not God, it was the gods, the EloHIM, who made you for slavery. You are not a product of natural selection – you are the result of genetic engineering.
That is why you have no fur, no fangs, no claws, no strength. You were made in the image of the gods – the humans who came here and took homo erectus and crossed them with their own genes – making an UNnatural hybrid abomination – a walking, talking, conniving, lying, manipulating, aggressive specie that must be tamed by myth, told how to behave, forced to work at a job to buy groceries.
Stop for a second of your life and think, really think about this: how in the hell did we come to be with holy book teaching behavior when ALL of the rest of Creation does not have to be taught anything? Ever think of that?
Despite all of the repression we still have open trade with that nation. Chinese companies which are controlled and mostly owned by the Chinese government continue to buy up our resources and industries. Trudeau of Canada and other WEF stooges continue to praise China as the model nation. Nothing really has been done even to balance the huge trade deficits with that nation. My own belief is that communist China it is another Rothschild money-power, prodigy nation as was the USSR and that it will become an even greater monster of plundering, ruthlessness, and oppression on the world stage than the other nations it controls such as the US, the UK and Israel.
But, of course, they’ll never do these monstrosities against the anti-Christ Talmud! Because just as Xi Jinping thinks he’s “god,” so do Talmudic rabbis and “sages”! And when Chabad Lubavitch takes over China like they have with the US, Europe and even maybe Russia (because Putin loves Chabad, right?)…either they will or Satan will, or do I repeat myself?
And the funny thing is, that you think that once you have your own social credit system, it’ll be any different in your country.
We still have trade with China because of their strategic control of rare earth minerals.
So we have a primitive bible with primitive porn lessons in schools and primitive human laws with simple food… It looks like our globalists are planning a “simple” civilization for primitive people.. I think they have studied humans and animals and are now implementing these rules to stay easier in control… Wich will fail again…
No, this fall the Chabad faithful and every other Jew will be slaughtered like sheep and so will anyone else who opens his mouth against yahwey, world wide.
The world has never seen such terror as is coming from the heavens down, seen by ALL mankind. There will be NO resistance by any one, none whatsoever!
No man made space ship holograms, no manmade nothing. This comes out of the blue,
direct to you, Yahwey, his angels of the lord, and nephilim and all.
Just as in the days of Noah, as The Lord Jesus warned everyone would happen.
As if it hasn’t been re-written already over the millennia
It’ll ONLY be about the FIFTIETH (50!) time the Bible was re-written!!🤣
Gee, Yukon Jack and Atwill must be the smartest scholars the world has ever seen in being able to “prove”, based on their interpretations of writings which have been around for the last 2,000 years, that the explosion of Christian converts from Judaism immediately after the death of Jesus in around 33AD did not exist. Even though the early Christians were severely persecuted by Jews loyal to Judaism and by Nero before Josephus was old enough even to wipe his own butt, let alone write a history book or even later allegedly invent a fake religion, according to these geniuses those early Christians did not exist. No Nero did not blame Christians for the burning of Rome, and St. Paul even before the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem in about 70 AD was just writing letters to himself, or perhaps he was just a paid agent of Nero or Yukon Jack. Then some 30 years later around 100 AD Josephus and the Romans simply invented the religion out of nothing, and immediately thereafter at the same time they were promoting it, the Romans coincidentally were busy trying to suppress it with brutal rapacity and with mass persecutions continuing for the next few hundred years until the reign of Constatine.
Horrible, how what is called Christianity has NOTHING to do with Jesus Christ, except His name, and nothing to do with what’s beginning to happen all over the western world. The spirit of Baal, called a Sword turning in all directs, has been busily doing his job corrupting Adam’s access to the Tree Of Life, Jesus Christ!
Genesis 3:23 Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
His job, has been to destroy all who look for the Truth.
That has been accomplished and the final will be the destruction of the Jews, as the great deception begins, and Yahwey will deceive the whole world!
The author references the “Atlantic”, “Freedom House” and “Human rights watch” all of which are western propaganda tools. Then he writes about the Fulan gong which take western money to subvert the country. In reality China has only 3million hard core communists mostly young which the government gives no room to operate. They are considered extremists.
No western reporter or government official has ever gone to the provinces in question, they’ve been invited by the Chinese government but not one has ever accepted. An Indonesian delegation went some years ago and found the supposed reeducation centres were infact language and mini universities to educate the Muslims giving them skills to participate in the regional economies. It has worked they thrive. There are more Mosques in the province than western countries with the same Muslim populations.
The Bible has been changed over 14,000 times since the Mt Sinai Bible. All Bible’s since are editions. The original sits in a small very carefully guarded building in Ethiopia.
No European has ever laid eyes on it.
This article is clearly western propaganda in other words complete B.S. The west is truly weak to put this trash out there.
Interesting comments, Simon.
According to catholicism, usury is making money from money, without any intervening investment of labour. Usury isn’t profit from commerce, which is contractually determined, upon the exchange of monies.
All interest on loans is usuary, whether permitted by statute or not. Usury is a prohibition of Canon Law, which, in theory, supercedes Constitutional Law and, therefore, parliamentary legislation. If the bull of Pope Innocent III, in 1215, declaring Magna Carta null and void stands, then the Fifth Lateran Council definition of usury, in 1515, ought to stand, as primary definition, in English law;
“For that is the real meaning of usury: when, from its use, a thing which produces nothing, is applied to the acquiring of gain and profit without any work, any expense or any risk.”
Financial brokerage that brings the risk of the loss of liquidity to the lender/ investor, can’t be counted as usury, therefore; so long as contracts are engaged without deceits or mischiefs. There is, in theory, a case to be made for the unlawfulness of usury in England. It’s a tricky contention of constitutional prerogatives, occluded by disputations of sovereignty, that were not settled at Runnymede.
“.. how in the hell did we come to be with holy book teaching behavior when ALL of the rest of Creation does not have to be taught anything?”
“Still, although the human form is temporary, you can achieve the highest perfection of life while in this human form. What is that perfection? To understand the all-pervading Supreme Lord. For other life forms this is not possible.”

This will never happen in Russia, which cares for the prosperity of its population within the strict framework of Christian principles and traditional values.
For example, a second example and a third example.
(And the Top example.)
And the best thing is that all the alt-media are constantly informing us about these bright examples.
Russia will win.
The brave enemy of Kabbalah, Lukashenko, will not allow it in Belarus either!
Bella&Russ will win.
Ahhh yes, the typical anti-christ cryptojew trolls in the comments again…. Remember folks, every single troll you see attacking Jesus is a cryptojew. Every single one. Even those who “attack the jews”, ESPECIALLY THOSE, may even be Mossad….
Sadly, this is no doubt a globalist-sponsored dry run for the rest of the world. Much like the Cambodia depopulation experiment.
