China fines church for owning ‘wrong’ version of the Bible
(Worthy News) – China is cracking down on Christianity and other religions as part of a campaign by the country’s Communist Party to “eradicate” so-called “pornography and illegal publications,” according to a Chinese persecution watchdog.
One branch of the Protestant Three-Self Church, located in the northeastern province of Liaoning, was fined the equivalent of $1,400 after South Korean versions of the Bible were discovered in April. Other Three-Self churches had hymnbooks, gospel pamphlets and Bibles confiscated and burned, according to Bitter Winter, a religious liberty magazine focused on China.
Marco Respinti, the director-in-charge of the Italian-based publication, told Fox News the CCP is using “very tricky, subtle cultural warfare” to combat the church in China. [ Source: Fox News (Read More…) ]
