On Monday it was reported that the Communists Chinese Party (CCP) ramped up their assault on Christians as part of the atheistic dictatorship’s war on God. The latest crackdown has seen mass arrests of Chinese people for the crime of Christianity. China has a proven and well-documented history of harvesting organs from religious dissidents, which are just Chinese citizens who practice religion outside of communist-sanctioned pseudo-churches.
“The CCP’s latest move to ensure they don’t get into heaven is their mass arrest last week of dozens of Christians,” Chris Chappell of China Uncensored said Monday.
Chappell then went into detail of one of the Christian martyrs. Ezra Jin, the pastor of Zion Church (no relation to the phenomenon of Christian Zionism in the U.S.) along with 30 other pastors and coworkers have “disappeared” into police “custody” for their thought crimes against atheism.
Specifically, the Christian martyrs are being charged with the crime of “illegal dissemination of religious information via the internet.”
Jin’s church was shut down by the communists in 2018 (a common practice in China which lacks freedom of religion). Not persuaded away from his Lord Jesus Christ, however, Jin continued operating his church underground and online while the threat of arrest and possible execution hung above his head.
“It’s been extremely shocking and … very scary for our family,” his daughter Grace Jin Drexel told NPR. “But we also have faith in the Lord and we know that he [Ezra Jin] is doing God’s work.”
In 2018 The Washington Times detailed the communist micromanagement of Chinese churches:
The crackdown on Christianity is part of a broader push by Xi to “Sinicize” all the nation’s religions by infusing them with “Chinese characteristics” such as loyalty to the Communist Party. Islamic crescents and domes have been stripped from mosques, and a campaign launched to “re-educate” tens of thousands of Uighur Muslims. Tibetan children have been moved from Buddhist temples to schools and banned from religious activities during their summer holidays, state-run media report.
This spring, a five-year plan to “Sinicize” Christianity in particular was introduced, along with new rules on religious affairs. Over the last several months, local governments across the country have shut down hundreds of private Christian “house churches.” A statement last week from 47 in Beijing alone said they had faced “unprecedented” harassment since February.
Authorities have also seized Bibles, while major e-commerce retailers JD.com and Taobao pulled them off their sites. Children and party members are banned from churches in some areas, and at least one township has encouraged Christians to replace posters of Jesus with portraits of Xi. Some Christians have resorted to holding services in secret.
A dozen Chinese Protestants interviewed by the Associated Press described gatherings that were raided, interrogations and surveillance, and one pastor said hundreds of his congregants were questioned individually about their faith. Like Guo, the majority requested that their names be partly or fully withheld because they feared punishment from authorities. After reporters visited Henan in June, some interviewees said they were contacted by police or local officials who urged them not to discuss any new measures around Christianity.
As if micromanagement was not enough, the CCP has rewritten the Bible to suit the will of China’s Dictator Xi Jinping. Christian Post detailed this blasphemy in 2018.
“You shall not add to the word which I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you,” Deuteronomy 4:2 said.
“For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book,” Revelation 22:18-19 said.
Interesting, just as the Bible warned, China, which altered the Bible, is now facing Biblical plagues.
Perhaps most alarmingly however is what China often does with its religious prisoners. While death is a common result of charges for religious infractions, the organs of the convicts often live on in the bodies of others.
“UN human rights experts said today they were extremely alarmed by reports of alleged ‘organ harvesting’ targeting minorities, including Falun Gong practitioners, Uyghurs, Tibetans, Muslims and Christians, in detention in China,” the United Nations Office of The High Commissioner said in 2021.
