Respected Ladies and Gentlemen

 

“A lamp to my feet and a light for my path.” How beautiful it sounds! It is not easy for you to come to New York to hold this “Bible Ministry Exhibition” at Cathedral Church of St. John The Divine in order to demonstrate to the Americans who respect religious freedom that the Chinese enjoy very much “religious freedom” also. However, do you know that you’ve chosen a time right after the 17th bloody anniversary of June 4th Massacre? At those days, the reporters with consciences exposed the brutal crackdown to the shocked world. But nowadays, even no church leaders would stand up for the long persecution on the Chinese Christians, some of whom were even cut open for the organs. (Please see the photos at www.china21.org on 10/01/2001) We spoke for the persecuted and then became the thorn in the evil power’s eye, and were not only stalked, threatened, and monitored but also attacked by automobile murder! (Please see www.china21.org on 03/27/2005). Can you tell us how you could worship God openly and freely under the atheistic government? How did you let the biggest antichrist not only not persecute you but also support your ministry?   

           

Following the crucifixion of Jesus, numerous his disciples were also persecuted to death in the past two thousand years. However, the more the persecution the more the believers because the true believers have no fear to death since they already have crossed over death to life. (John 5:24)  At the present, the history of cross is repeating in China. In the past several decades, there are countless Chinese Christians being persecuted to death, handicapped, brutally tortured, sexually assaulted or raped, jailed and fined. You really do not know? Our investigation with over a half million house church Christians in 22 provinces shows that since the China adopted open and reform policy, among over the 60 million house church Christians, there are at least 10 thousand being persecuted to death, 20 thousand tortured to handicapped, 2.7 million detained, 440 thousand jailed or educated through labor, 200 thousand fled away from home, and 1.1 million fined. Who did all these? Isn’t that evil Chinese Communist Party who opposed God from the beginning? And you China Christian Council (CCC) and China Christian Three-self Patriotic Movement Committee (Three-self) are the conspirator and accomplice! Now you are trying by all kinds of means to entice the foreigners and overseas Chinese to join you to various propaganda activities which only goal is to cover the persecution done by your “lord”. How come that you do not fear at all that one day God will come and judge what you have done?

 

Exactly as described in the Bible, that party is the roaring lion that prowls around the world looking for someone to devour (1 Peter 5:8). On the other hand, it pretends to be the “angel of light” (2 Corinthians 11:14) in order to deceive the world. In his report to the party, Bishop Ding Guangxun, your CCC and three-self emeritus president, said, “There never has been good outcome when using the governmental force to deal with religion and people’s relationship. This is the important lesson learned from the religion administration in the past over thirty years. Why should we repeat it?......If we do it again, then the result is not the disappearance of the house churches, rather making them going underground and kindle crazy belief and evangelism.” Therefore, the best way is not to directly deny God, but to make them to turn away from God in an unperceivable way, as the serpent did in Eden, by changing God’s Christianity to the party’s Christianity. In his response to Jiang Zeming’s call for “actively leading the religion to fit for the socialism society”, Bishop Ding said explicitly, “all those not fit for socialism society must be cleaned……the reform of religion itself must be accelerated……any religious doctrines inconsistent with socialism must be diluted, and those consistent with socialism must be emphasized. Every religion is open to such reform. Some of those unfit with socialism should be cleaned immediately, and other gradually.” Therefore, under the leadership of the atheistic party, you uphold “Cross”, print many Bibles, build magnificent churches; talk about Jesus’ love to encourage the believers to love the country (actually to love the party); tell the believers that Jesus’ born by a virgin and resurrection and many other Bible stories are all unbelievable and unscientific fairy tales; tell the believers that Revelation is just an imaginary description of the wish for a beautiful future, and Jesus’ coming back, God’s judgment and the end of the world are all day dreams. (Please see the article “Response from the Perspective of Religion Self-building to the Call for Adapting Religion to Socialism” by Ding Guangxun, published in Zheng Xie Bao (Political Council Newspaper) on 9/4/1998.) So, you have seduced tens of millions to believe this socialism Christianity, making them fall without noticing into the Satan’s system. Thus, everyone is happy because the party has sustained its regime and the ignorant believers received the religious consolation.  No wonder Jesus condemned “Owe to you……you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much as son of hell as you are.” (Matthew 23:15) 

 

“To fear the Lord is to hate the evil.” (Proverbs 8:13) However, everyone can see whether you hate or like the evil. The Scripture says, “The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men.” And “that though the wicked spring up like grass and all evildoers flourish, they will be forever destroyed.” (Psalm 12:8 and 92:7). Nowadays is the time when the evildoers are ever most flourishing and exactly the time when they will be destroyed forever! Do not be afraid, true believers! Nor admire the exalted wicked men! So, you will not blindly follow them and oppose the Lord who judges with justice. (Revelation 19:11) Respected President Carter, Mrs. Graham and religious leaders of Episcopal Diocese of New York, American Bible Society, Council of Churches of the City of New York, and New York Theological Education Center: you really did not know or pretended not knowing the nature of CCC and three-self and their actual purpose to bind you together? “Who is the liar? It is the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a man is the antichrist – he denies the Father and the Son.” (1 John 2:22)  “Many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist……do not take him into your house or welcome him. Anyone who welcomes him shares in his wicked work.” (2 John 7-11)  Surprisingly, you have not only welcomed the liar but also actively joined its ministry, becoming the deceiving tool of the enormous red dragon (Revelation 12:3&9, 13:11-17) and helping it to make a religious freedom show case in order to cover the brutal persecution! On the other hand, you pretend not having seen the persecution and are indifferent toward the persecuted. What a sin! You publicly humiliate and defame God by putting together the evil and corrupted party with the holy and righteous God to give the people a false and shameful picture about God. If you really believe in God, then buy in a hurry from Him the salve to put on your eyes so you can see. (Revelation 3:18) Forgot that God’s patience and forgiveness are to lead you to repent? Repent now and do not wait! It will surely be too late when the time comes and He says to you: “I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!” (Matthew 7:23).

 

May God Lead You to Repent So That You Can Be Saved!
