Judging by recent events, the party is very close to completing its mission of bringing Christianity under its thumb, he wrote. Although there is nothing I would love more than to become a pastor and preach the gospel in Hong Kong, I will never do so if it means making Jesus subservient to Xi Jinping.
Jesus says, “Not so fast.”
Yeah, that will work....
The underground church is far more expansive and potent than the visible church. This would not be an issue to the party unless they have already felt rumblings.
These are the same ChiComs that the “Pope” wants to knuckle under to?
but what about soldiers at their desks right here in the USA or at the Veterans Hospital...or a child in school passing out Christmas cards with a Manger Scene.....or saying Merry Christmas....all things not allowed in the USA.
What's the difference??
And this is what makes China communist. Replacement of religion with the state, and criminalizing anyone who refuses.
Exactly. There is the officially sanctioned church and there are many more secret churches.
The Lord will eventually have the final say on this!!!
Actually, Frankie would prefer that they replace the picture of Our Lord with a full-color photo of his own fat ugly face. So he may actually oppose the Chinese on this matter....when it comes to something really important.
The Chi-coms are regressing. The openness is Fake.
...seems to be a lot 'sin-ificating' going on particularly amongst atheists, liberals, socialists and communists in ALL countries!

Images of Jesus?
Really?
This is an amazing find.

At least now we have a President who now has made it okay to say “Merry Christmas”.
In act of defiance, perhaps some Christians will cover the image of Christ with an image of a panda (a panda face is a disrespectful reference to Xi, an animal which he resembles).
Christianity is unstoppable in reaching those who want to believe (wherever they are or under whatever government they are trapped).
Onward Christian soldiers?
He is SO unattractive.
It’s a start. It sure wouldn’t have happened under Hillary.
Xi may want to reconsider how God will respond to Xi exalting himself as a deity.
