I'm confident that God will lead Chinese Christians to the right Bible, even if they've been deceived for a long time. I went to the wrong church for seven years, stopped believing in Christianity, and fully embraced a secular life before God pointed me to the right church. Even if we've been duped into believing wrong doctrine, God will bring us back.
YaH The Heavenly FATHER (Genesis 1) HIMSELF was Who they Crucified/Pierced for our sins and “HERE IS THE PROOF”
From the Ancient Semitic:
"Yad He Vav He" is what Moshe (Moses) wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3)
Ancient Semitic Direct Translation
Yad - "Behold The Hand"
He - "Behold the Breath"
Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
Out of curiousity what version of the bible is the "right" bible, I mean I assume it's the first version ever written but is it still around?
rewriting the bible will come back on them, a curse tampering with God's word
Which one? You guys worship Paul who never met Jesus. Your entire religion is Paul's fabrication
yes I agree I remember I was agnostic for one year but God's mercy and grace caught me.
I live in China, and so far I haven't encounter such a Bible, but maybe in the future. Pray so that the Word of God is always with us.
This is a conspiracy theory
I don't think ccp needs to rewrite bible. May be they would rewrite quran
As you know, only that book is very political and hostile.
Btw i know religions aren't favored in commie china
That is Fake News and western propaganda! I’m a Chinese Christian and have worshipped in China. I have never seen a Chinese bible where Jesus stoned the adulterous in my life. Show me that bible and I’ll stand to be corrected. In the meantime you are just spreading Chinese hate. Stop your hateful judgement and instead spread the love and grace of the Lord Jesus Christ.
needed a good references in the web or sending such hardcopies to oversea. too much misinfo by westerner making "wolf cried" .
@samhu1962 Yeah, maybe or maybe not. Whether it's misinformation or not, persecution here in China is real. Many Christians need to gather up in secret, but the Lord has always been protecting us.
@@samhu1962remember fox news made the same claim ccp changed the bible but offer not even a single evidence, persecution does not mean they changed the book. I live in China, the Bible in Chinese has been quite the same since years ago in my knowledge.
As someone who stays in China, i see how imperative it is to have Christians from outside China support and even teach the Chinese, especially in these times. Cos I can’t imagine the effect of wrong theology. It will be too devastating especially having the Chinese Christians in such a number. I think of groups like the Jehovahs witnesses and Mormons, one wrong ideology with has been taken seriously by huge amounts of people. We gotta pray for these souls
Is mormonism being practised in china?
As a member of the LDS Church I am happy to hear this. God bless.
@@cinnamondan4984what are you happy to hear?

Revelation 22:18-19
Amen. This is exactly it. They're trying to proselytize a gospel of an antichrist.
Amen! This was one of the first thoughts that came to mind after watching this! Stay in the scriptures my friend!
no choice but to amen too.
This Scripture speaks of The Book of Revelation .
No change all going to Gods Plan. False Christ False Prophets
My family fled from China, due to the religious persecution of Christians in China; during the cultural revolution.
Most people have no idea that it's still taking place, and that modern martyrs are dying for Christ, still to this day.
Indeed!
Please tell me which religion is the most oppressed by ccp
@@Endrin911 Christians and Muslims both, the CCP doesn't play favorites--it hates them both equally.

I been trying to look for evidence of this "China rewrites Bible" story for a while, but all I was able to find about the "Rewriting" is in the textbook the video mentioned. there is no evidence that the Holy Bible in China has been actually rewritten in my findings. but this story has been told many times as the "Chinese government rewriting the Bible", that textbook has no regional or spiritual purpose but a law-based educational textbook, this "rewriting" could be caused by the lack of knowledge of the writers themselves.
But there is a fact that is actually concerning in China, the CCP has banned Bible selling in any bookstores since around 2018, they only allowed the Bible to be sold at their "Official Chruchs" since then. and you can't buy The Holy Bible online in China.
I think it's easy for a American or any English speaker to talk about anything but themselves with so emphasis and yes, I'm being ironic. The point is, it's written in the Bible that people would die for Christ, there would be false leaders and powerful people trying to get hold of the Truth like it's theirs. It happened before and will continue to happen till the end of times. We, as Christians, should be aware of what come out of our mouths and ask God for Wisdom. This video could be an attack to Bible publishers because they don't really go for China just because of their expertise, but for profit! Money being the root of all evil, it's easy to see how the enemy is using powerful people and greedy people to change what's in the scriptures. Oh but let's not be naive... the real Truth set free whomever wants to believe! The problem ain't a Communist Party, ain't a Nation, per se but the bigger picture that's the Plan of God.
Thanks for your diligence looking into this. It would be great if there was one of these Chinese church direct bible accessible and accurately translated for outsiders so we could study for ourselves
Yeah this story gained a lot of traction but it is actually misinformation. Sure China is doing terrible stuff with regards to Christianity. Just not this thing.
I have a Chinese Bible of the official Chinese protestant church version and it seems to be a normal Bible translation that has been around for a while. It’s from 2018.
As a Chinese Christian, I grew up in China and read bibles from both official churches and underground sources. I never found one bible that was rewritten by the government. The reason is simple: only very stupid people will do so. It is 21st century now and there are millions of sources you can get a bible (even in China), either a hard copy or an electronic one. Chinese Christians don’t reply on the Bibles that are said to be controlled by the government. And it is also stupid to sell such “rewritten” bible to the Western countries. The reason is obvious. Please stop politicizing issues that is related to our holy faith. It is gross! if you really believe in God, you will not use the faith as a political weapon.
Bible publishers should find a way to stop delegating printing of the Scriptures to the Chinese and build our own printers. Thank you Radical for this video.
*_God Bless_*
just double checked my ESV from crossway. They printed in the Netherlands. I️ don't know if this is consistent with all forms of the Scriptures that they sell though.
@@mr.f6912 I looked at my Open Bible from Thomas Nelson and it says it was printed in South Korea and so I was relieved. Bibles printed by Amity come from China though.

Thank you for making this video. I wouldn't have a clue about what's going on in China and their rewriting the Bible. It is so unacceptable and sad 😔
I joined something called the "Allied Democracy Vanguard" because of these issues. The western world needs to wake up, my friend.
Absolutely!!!

Ignorant.
For the Bible has been rewritten centuries ago !
The PRC's updated version did not alter the passages that said Jesus is the Messiah, Savior, Lord and the Son of God .
This doesn't offer a source. It does what's called "parroting". He just made a UA-cam video out of some headlines at the expense of the Chinese. Not very Christian to do that.
Revelation 22:19
“And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.”
Yeah can't wait really.
The Catholic Church also took away books from the original Bible and added their own theology! However, to take away the pure form of Jesus Christ sacrifice for this world is UNHOLY and evil!
Not only have they rewritten Jesus as a killer, but they have also rewritten Him as a sinner. This underwrites the entire foundation of the cross, that Christ died unblemished as a sacrifice for our sins. If they believe this they cease to be Christian.

Slandering is a sin right? Don't fall into the political agenda behind this. Repent.
@@thisnthat7760what?? Being concerned for people's faith because of the lies they are fed is not slander. What I'm saying is China is trying to eliminate Christianity by changing the beliefs to the point where it isn't Christianity
@@thisnthat7760 Slander is "false witness," not true witness. What he said is correct, the CCP wants to undermine the divinity of Christ by portraying Him as a sinner, because "Christianity" is the worship of Christ as God. If Christ is not God, and just a mortal man who sins Himself, then those misled into believing this aren't Christian by definition. That's why the CCP is doing this, to undermine the central teaching of Christianity--the divinity of Christ.
@@Dylan_Devine encounter in youtube comments, many are from taiwan origin too. personnel guess is they are trying to preserve their believes (different from China as China don't want to believes budda etc too.) by re-definiting reglion as only forgein believes such as christian , but tradition believes, well, is just tradition. so redirect their anti - spiritial only towards christian.
I once read some Chinese translations of the Bible, and found that many translations were not good, so I was forced to read the Bible in English.
May God arise and His enemies be scattered. Let's pray Church for help and wisdom. Let God's Word be preserved in Jesus' Name!

"Jesus sinned" might be the dumbest attempt at a bait & switch that I have ever seen in my entire life. How out of touch is the Chinese government? Have they ever read the bible?
The Chinese government is trying to decieve the people. Its not the first time a government tries to decieve its citizens. In Roman times it was worse! Remember Nero was the first Anti-christ! Now we are looking at the eighth and final one, and people are falling for him! Just as they did the seventh one! That was Hitler! The eighth one is right in front of your eyes now,90% of time, 90% of the news surrounds him! He has a agenda that is not Christian at all! His name means little horn! Figure it out! It's TRUMP!

Lying?@@peekaboopeekaboo1165
@@peekaboopeekaboo1165can’t agree more. This is a clumsy lie that images all Chinese Christians and some western Christians are dumb. All brothers and sisters, in the Bible our Lord told us “But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil” (Matthew 5:37). We should be careful to such kind of person who uses our holy faith as a political weapon.
LOVE the editing. Thank you so much for this educational video 🙏
I’ve Muslims and Christians friends from China, though they agree that religions are heavily scrutinized but no complaints about the Bible or Quran being edited. In facts some on the controversial paragraphs which I thought would have been removed were not removed. Was told long as they’re not extremist, or trying to gather a bunch of followers, it’s fine. My friends is born into a Muslims family, but he isn’t religious like most Chinese people in China. As a overseas Chinese diaspora, I notice most Chinese are not religious, we think of religion as a service provider.
The Bible contains several verses that Christians might interpret as predicting challenges or distortions to the faith. While the specific situation mentioned may not be directly foretold in these verses, they can be seen as relevant to understanding the broader concept of challenges to the faith:
2 Timothy 4:3-4 (NIV): "For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear."
Matthew 24:11 (NIV): "and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people."
2 Peter 2:1-2 (NIV): "But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them-bringing swift destruction on themselves. Many will follow their depraved conduct and will bring the way of truth into disrepute."
Matthew 7:15 (NIV): "Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves."
These verses address false teachings and challenges to the faith, which are representative of the situation. They do serve as a reminder for Christians to be vigilant and discerning regarding the teachings they encounter and to hold fast to the genuine message of the Bible.
Wow! 😢 I was expecting some dodgy translations.
That re-write on Jesus is SHOCKING.
Absolutely ruthless.
Christ will always remain unchanged❤
top notch editing bro, the effort put into this video is insane
It's parroting Worldly mainstream media headlines in the name of Christ. There's no independent source of investigation as Jesus would have done. Groveling to the lord of this world in the name of christ is called anti-Christ.
The problem with trying to change the bible is that they can not change the manuscripts feom which they were translated. Hence any changes will only condemn them in the eyes of their own people. They would be best not to show their hand in such a foolish manner.
Not true. They could have already changed the manuscripts. Isaiah 24:5 in the Hebrew says they will change God's laws. Plus there is the meanings too, that is much easier c=to change. They can just lie about what the original meanings stated.
Nonsense.
Only a single passage that's rewritten isn't going to fundamentally change the Christian doctrine.
PRC's updated Bible maintained that Jesus is the Messiah, Savior, Lord and Son of God.
The Catholic Church even took words out of the true manuscript of God, but they didn't take away the pure sacrifice of Jesus for the sins of the world! Jesus is the lamb of God! No man comes to the father without him!
You could say the same thing about the Jehovah's Witnesses. The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society mandates that they use the New World Translation, which is a complete corruption of God's Word, and is specifically designed to redefine just who and what Jesus is.
Rev. 22:18-20 (NIV) 18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll. 19 And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll.
20 He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.”
Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.

This video is very important!!!!
mine's been printed in finland
That's it. I've found my fav chanel ❤.
Sorry, but I feel like this video is a bit misleading. A quote from a textbook (which prompted a strong reaction from local believers, apparently - rightly so; the publishers then distanced themselves from it) is not the same as changing the printed text of a Bible. The video kind of gives the impression that the government is involved in some large-scale effort to change the Bible, when it would appear that this is an isolated incident applying to some teaching material in a textbook. (Also this happened several years ago, as others have pointed out.)
Thank you brother for getting the word out about this nasty persecution.
I wondered what they were reading when I saw 2 chinese christian movies. They still told us about the underground church but the translation of the passages they read made me believe something was wrong somewhere. Thank you for this video.
They need much prayer to receive the ABSOLUTE truth of the word of God.
Radical is essentially lying.

thank you for charing this information. i did not know about this
No different than the Greeks rewiritng Hebrew or the English rewriting Greek.
There is no way this would work. They would have to collect all the old bibles first, and then still the collective memory of the christian population would recognize something this far off....
Lol. Can’t agree more. I can’t believe so many people still believe what this video is saying.
The pericope about the adulterous woman isn't original to the gospel of John. It was added by a scribe around the year 300AD. No copies of John before 300AD contain the story at all.
The way they've rewritten John 8:3-11 is so perfect. It's interpretation would be that the CCP isn't sinless, but someone has to enforce the law, so it should be the CCP that enforces the law. They've rewritten it to absolve themselves of having to prove themselves righteous before enforcing laws.
In Animal Farm, one of the pigs was seen going up to the board that said "All animals are equal". The next morning it said "All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others".
I see absolutely no difference between that and what the CCP is doing.
Well I worked in China for years, and still know many people there, and still am connected, and to this day no one has even brought this issue up...of course I would not put it past the ccp (of course they would like to do such a thing if they could) but yeah, I dont think this issue is quite like the video says it is...and I dont think it would ever succeed, because the Chinese are not dumb...and you would have to be pretty dumb to fall for something so ridiculous...especially since the CUV （和合本）Chinese Bible has been used for over a century and the content is known...the only people that would fall for that scam would be those in the three self church, and even some of them are good and sincere believers so...I think this video is a bit something like the boy that cried wolf (just my opinion)...:) I don't think its really an issue. the churches in china are face far worse issues than this, and its not the "persecution" that everyone in the west always talks about, its worldliness, the love of money, compromise, prosperity gospel, overzealous calvinism etc...these issues are far more serious and pressing in the Chinese churches....
This video is pornographic, and is based on turning mainstream media into an idol
It's very antichristian and Satanic
You are absolutely right. This video is basically telling a lie that can only be true under one condition: Chinese people, especially Chinese Christians are all dumb. Although CCP tries to ban the Bibles, but there are still so many ways that you can get a bible. So it does not make sense at all for the government to rewrite the Bible. As a Chinese christians, I feel bad that so many people buy such kind of clumsy lie.
If the CCP is willing to kill their own citizens for believing in Jesus. Why wouldn't you think they wouldn't make Jesus a sinner? Xi demands absolute LOYALTY from his people! The same thing is going to happen here, in America soon! That is why our country is unique! We have freedom of religion. So far! Our worldly people cannot play God and force Christianity down other people's throats and expect them to conform to and accept Christianity! Jesus doesn't need our help!!We all my need his!
The Revelation 22:18 " I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll."
Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Hebrews 4:14-16
We have decent Chinese translations, such as 吕振中or和合本, which are completely trust worthy, and are an equivalent of the KJV and NIV, however, the “rewritten” version of the Chinese bible are not considered biblical to Chinese churches, they are similar to the passion translation and the new world version, which are extremely dangerous for Christians to study.
The Spirit of God will lead them to the truth. God is still working despite all the evil schemes of the enemy.
I’m really curious to know why Christianity is on the rise in China? It’s awesome and glad to know.🙏🏿
I don't know exactly why, but I would just say because God is moving!
That might be a good follow-up video 🤔
Yeah just the Lord moving, and it is a wonderful thing to see.. Iran Christian population starting to rise as well even under that pagan government.. God is sovereign !
For the same reason true Christianity spreads anywhere else, b/c God is at work. God is not circumstance-dependent. Praise God!
@@upliftingchristianmusic8534 Amen!!
Chinese here, haven’t heard heresy in Protestant or Catholic Churches I’ve went to so far.
It’s more pronounced in the north where central authority is stronger. But it’s not as widespread as people might think.
Take care and God bless.
“For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: and if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.”
Revelation 22:18-19
I'd love to see more videos with an apologetics focus like this one...maybe as its own series, so Neighborhood and Nations retains its evangelical mission.
Yeah , Radical main focus is the spread of the gospel throughout the nations.. but on UA-cam John macArthur held a “inerrant Bible series” with multiple pastors, which was refreshing to hear !
Radical is essentially lying .

I pray for my Chinese brothers and sisters!
Pray for Chinese Christians to realize that they're being exploited, manipulated by foreign forces ...to become hateful and turns to criminals .
I used to go to church and I just spoke to Chinese people 5 minutes ago they are nice people. I don't need a religion to treat others how I like to be treated.
Revelation 2:29
“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.”
I've read a story of how 2 young men during the chairmanship of Mao Zedong travelled miles on foot to reach the house of a Christian friend who possessed the Holy Bible. They used to copy and write down by hand every verse of the Bible starting from the book of Matthew and then take their own copies in their bags to read at home later. Acquiring the Bible was hard. Meanwhile in many free countries, everyone literally has a Bible app installed in his smartphone, but never dedicates time to read it. Communism once crumbled in Russia and people were free to worship again due to prayers of the faithful around the world. By the help and grace of God, we can do it again in China, North Korea and other countries where Governments oppress religion.
Just checked my CNBB (National Congregation of Brazilian Bishops) official Catholic Bible, and it was printed in Brazil. :)
Make sure to stay faithful! And God Bless!!!
I didn't know that, that's so sad... I'm thankful that here in Brazil we have the SBB (Sociedade Bíblica do Brazil) and at least the one that i have is printed here.
CNBB's official Catholic Bible is also printed in Brazil by Edições CNBB and Editora Paulus.
It has always been like that, the word of God is pure and will remain pure forever.
Better have a printed KJV Bible ( instead of just relying on online versions).. also, read and study your printed Bibles, you'll never know if the ones printed from there have been "changed".
please beware of non china printed too. jw had shown me a few translation of bible to "prove" there is no hell.
The Chinese Church have free access to Bibles in the form of Chinese Union Version used in Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. The CUV was translated by a panel with members from many different Protestant denominations, using the English Revised Version as a basis and original-language manuscripts for crosschecking. Work on the CUV began in 1890 (Wikipedia). I think this video is abit misleading as the Bible is freely available in every Chinese Church.
You are right. I cautiously hold faith that QC efforts are made to ensure that printings like my MacArthur study Bible aren't altered. We should pray for the Chinese people to be able to learn the truth.
the original bible has enough things to use them against the religion, I don't know why they need to change it
I LOVE YOU JESUS✝️ JESUS✝️Jesus✝️NEVER sinned nor will He ever sin; Jesus is RIGHTEOUS AND HOLY FOREVER AND EVER, HALLELUJAH!!!!!!! AMEN AND AMEN!!!!!!! CELEBRATE, PRAISE, WORSHIP, MAGNIFY, AND GLORIFY JESUS EVERY DAY AND FOREVER MORE, HALLELUJAH!!!!!!! AMEN AND AMEN!!!!!!!

I have recent English Bibles both Catholic and Protestant published by Party arms. None have this rewrite.
The United States is also rewriting the content of the Bible. Recently, the House of Representatives passed a bill prohibiting criticism of Israel, which includes a provision that any content criticizing Jewish people in the Bible can no longer be discussed. If you say it, it is considered anti-Semitic.
Shocking! Save us, O Lord.
Well that story isn’t in the earlier manuscripts either, they might as well remove the story from future printing
Christianity in China then and now is actually very diverse and in my 10+ yrs in PRC, I've never had a Bible with such translation, nay, rewrite. May I ask which particular Church (in collab with CPC) uses that Bible?
Where is the link to the Chinese article quoting the Bible verse?
Thank you! What Bible version was that you have quoted in John?
What credible sources can you provide for this information? If this is verifiable, it is very important information. Not trying to question your credibility, but doing the responsible thing... following up. I live in China, so maybe you can imagine why this is so important to me. Although, it should be important to everyone.
There's a YT show called Lei's Real Talk that covers this subject with interviews and sources too.

@@China_Secret_Police could you post a link to that episode I searched on her channel but couldn't find it
I have heard this story repeated with the same example (John 8) in several outlets since 2020 and it does not seem to have had any other developments since then.
What I do know is that the CPC has made public their desire to 'Sinicize' religion. To my knowledge, they have not said that they intend to re-write religious texts such as the Bible or Quran, so I think that part might be conjecture. It is true that the CPC makes the Bible and Quran harder to access by limiting where it can be bought and sold, online apps, etc.
it is amazing how you judge China, instead of using the same standards to help the suffering masses in your country. This is a message from my best friend: Why do you bother with the splinter in your brother's eye, when you have a plank stuck in your own eye. First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you'll see better and be better able to help your brother remove the splinter...
not judging, but worried. if true, then what going to happen in China will be worst. israel may be a warning, military and technological might is no cause for pride. but yet just see the chinese words in all over the places.
You’re silly! He’s not “judging China”; he’s raising the alarm out of love and concern for the Chinese people (who are oppressed by their government).

Personnally I hope China will just do localization as in Asian, not following the western teaching(freedom of sex etc), but still follows the teaching of bible, and NOT CHANGE the text in the bible. If they so do as in practices(NOT CHANGE the text in the bible), at least acknowledge it as a new religion, not baring the name of existing Christianity. If true, please bare in mind that Chinese hyper sensitive in insult on Chinese, then please note it even more then just insult on Christianity if the bible is change by their own will.
King James Version still rules the day. Don't stray from it and you'll be fine, it's the preserved Word of God.
“He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”
dang do they know what's wriiten on the last verse in revelation... that anyone who removes or adds to the book will incur all the curses mentioned
Respectfully, the KJV is not written in Old English. It is written in modern English. However, words such as "ye" and "thou" are used. There is a logical reason for their use.
In the 1600s English speakers did not use words like "ye" and "thou", but the King James translators included them because they wanted to use very precise wording in the Bible that distinguishes plural from singular pronouns.
We do not have a clear distinction of these pronouns in today’s English. The King James Bible clears up the confusion of pronouns.
The “Ts” (thee, thou, thy and thine) are second person singular pronouns, like when addressing an individual person or a single nation.
The “Ys” (ye and you) are second person plural, like when addressing a group of people or a group of nations.
All modern versions, including the NKJV, corrupt the prophetic references to Christ in the Old Testament by changing singular pronouns to plural pronouns.
The seed of Abraham is Jesus Christ:
Galatians 3:16 - Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
The KJV vs. the NKJV :
Genesis 12:7 (KJV)
7 And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him.
(NKJV)
7 Then the LORD appeared to Abram and said, “To your descendants I will give this land.” And there he built an altar to the LORD, who had appeared to him.
Genesis 13:14-15 (KJV)
14 And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: 15 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.
(NKJV)
14 And the LORD said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him: “Lift your eyes now and look from the place where you are-northward, southward, eastward, and westward; 15 “for all the land which you see I give to you and your descendants forever.
Genesis 15:17-18 (KJV)
17 And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces. 18 In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:
(NKJV)
17 And it came to pass, when the sun went down and it was dark, that behold, there appeared a smoking oven and a burning torch that passed between those pieces. 18 On the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying: “To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates
Genesis 17:7 (KJV)
7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.
(NKJV)
7 And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and your descendants after you.
Genesis 22:17-18 (KJV)
17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; 18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.
(NKJV)
17 blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies. 18 In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.
And, in other modern versions the compromise is even worse!
New International Version
Genesis 22:17 …I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies, 18 and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me.
English Standard Version
Genesis 22:17-18 …I will surely bless you, and I will surely multiply your offspring as the stars of heaven and as the sand that is on the seashore. And your offspring shall possess the gate of his - ESV Footnote: “or their” - enemies, 18 and in your offspring shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice.
Genesis 24:7 (KJV)
7 The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father’s house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence.
(NKJV)
7 The LORD God of heaven, who took me from my father’s house and from the land of my family, and who spoke to me and swore to me, saying, ‘To your descendants I give this land,’ He will send His angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there.
It is so unacceptable
King James and Douay-Rheims were and still are the two important Bibles depending if you were an English speaking Catholic or Protestant, you might want to correct that little point. Nowadays the leading Bible is probably the New Revised Standard Bible which basically tries to bridge the gaps between the Hebrew and Greek translations...
"China is trying to rewrite Christianity"
Hong Xiuquan - "First Time?"
I just read that passage in my Ch Bible... Thank the Lord it's right! I have another one that's bilingual, Ch and En, that I'm going to go check to. The biligual one I gave a copy to a friend, and i really hope that one is accurate.
It's also ok😅
please do make an effort to look out. and if possible , pass hard evidence to overseas.
Radical is essentially lying.
PRC's updated Bible maintained that Jesus is the Messiah, Savior, Lord and Son of God.
@@peekaboopeekaboo1165 it not a matter of maintaining which part of the bible. the whole bible must not add nor reduce a single word. For i also had experience that the bible is alive. any adding or reduce any word in the bible if not from God, then it is said in the bible that he will not take such lightly. a group of cult may not induce the rage of God, but if it is from a government level, ......... do remember that Daniel's king just self pride of his own achievement, that God had to humble him.
@@samhu1962
The Bible got added passage(s) in medieval times ...
It's in a textbook where the rewritten passage about Jesus ...and not the Bible.
Amen! ❤️👑🕊️
I am shivering knowing what will happen to those who read the bible. How to save them? Let's pray to Jesus. He is love. Period.
It’s the same with Tiktok, they export it to the rest of the world but don’t want it for their own people
Don't worry about these things as a Christian make sure you get God's word to everyone you can ask God to use you for His purpose and always remember God's word,
“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 will take away his part from the book of life, and from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book”.
Revelation 22:18-19
They don't even realize how terrifying the thing they're doing is. Rev 22:18-19 says it all.
Based on the comments, and also from my family (Pastor of Chinese christian) that has connections with Christian's in China. It's quite clear that this video doesn't really support much evidence,
plus Christian persecution in China is only in few areas today. (Based on Chinese Christian's experience, and their Bibles hadn't been tampered with in my knowledge)
Hopefully this comment helps 🙏
There are many Christians in jail right now for their faith, arion. Instead of basing reality on your personal experience, why not support the truth of the matter?
Wow
This is enlightening. This is dangerous and so sad!
Yeah, my Ghanaian sister
Radical is essentially lying.
PRC's updated Bible maintained that Jesus is the Messiah, Savior, Lord and Son of God.
Jesus said I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me
I use my goatskin Bible. Yes, I use the internet to quickly search for a verse, but I use an actual Bible when I want to study.
I disagree that a Church with no Bible would be no Church. Many people read the scriptures and use religion to defend their bad behavior. It is culture that is the key difference between a good and a bad person, whether a believer or an atheist.
Protestants talking about the bible being rewritten is so ironic
Yes that is the point of his story
Most of my Bibles are from the U.S.A. and one of them was printed and published in my home state of OH.
I didn't think my Bible was printed in China haha, just checked and now I'm surprised
I mean, that account at John 8:1-11 isn't truly part of the inspired record. It has been shown to be a later addition not in the earliest manuscripts and not authentically canon, revision or not.
It's in the Textus Receptus (Received Text), which is the underlying text for the KJV. The so-called "earliest manuscripts" is a hoax perpetuated by the Vatican, which puts forth their Codex Sinaiticus and Codex Vaticanus as "oldest and best". All the modern versions come from their fraudulent manuscripts.
Shocking translation
I understand the KJV language was even antiquated in its time as far as things like thou [singular] & ye [plural] … yet they preserve the singular | plural from the Hebrew, etc.
We need to check any Bible we buy and make sure it's not made in China.
sad is translation by cult was let go by nowaday christian. not necessary by china. jw had shown me a few bible with out hell, as in their believes.
2:48 Are you implying there are 38 millions protestants here in France ? We are not even 70 millions in total !
(but i'd wish)
"For God so loved the world that he gave it the one and only Party, that whoever joins it shall not perish but have eternal life." -Yuehan 3:16
sad it may be that we, Christians, have so many subdivisions. But God used it in a genius way - if any leader ever warps the text of the Scripture, all other Christians will call him a liar in unison.
King James is still my go to Bible!
What are your thoughts on the unicorns in KJV? Where in other places it's translated as Ox
God is still a God....all the trick planted by enemy will be uprooted.
Glory to our Lord Jesus Christ
but will be too late for those who do seek God. so we on earth still have our part to do.
Jesus's Sheep knows His voice, those truly seeking Salvation God our Father will lead them to His Son as it is written so have faith Not fear of the on goings of the World whom Jesus conquered
