China Arrests 49 Leaders of Underground Christian Church

BEIJING (AP) — Chinese police have detained 49 leaders of an underground Protestant church in a central province, an advocacy group and local official said Wednesday.
The U.S.-based China Aid Association said all three floors of a church building in Henan province’s Weishi county were searched and thousands of dollars worth of property were seized during the raid Tuesday on a religious education seminar.
Also detained were three Korean citizens, including a Bible instructor, the group said. South Korea’s Foreign Ministry said it had no immediate information about the reported detentions, which reflect long-standing ties between South Korean church groups and Chinese believers.
An official with the Weishi county religious affairs bureau confirmed Wednesday the detentions but gave no details. Like many Chinese officials, he gave only his surname, Sun.
China requires all religious groups to register and accept Communist Party oversight, although millions of believers continue to worship in unregistered congregations that typically have an evangelistic, charismatic character.
That includes members of Beijing’s unregistered Shouwang Church, who have recently repeatedly defied police demands and attempted to gather for banned outdoor services, leading dozens to be detained. The group, which includes numerous intellectuals, was evicted from its rented space under police pressure.
Rural congregations, drawn from poorer, less-educated communities, tend to be more vulnerable to coercion from authorities.
This month, a U.S. commission listed China as one of the worst violators of religious freedoms. Beijing denies the charge.
Tuesday’s raid came on the second and final day of twice-annual high-level talks between U.S. and Chinese officials that were overshadowed by sharp U.S. criticism of China’s human rights record.
In an interview published Tuesday on the website of The Atlantic magazine, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said China’s human rights record was “deplorable” and that history was not on the side of governments that resist democracy.

A Communist is a Communist, is a Communist. Unions stick together even if they hate each other. Democrats stick together despite twisted logic. Shia and Sunni even get along when it comes to their common enemy; um, us.
Christians will continue to get pummeled so long as they look at their sects as a business venture.

Posted on May 11, 2011 at 2:21pmAgreed. The first world church has drifted badly and is called to repentance.
“To the angel of the church in Laodicea write:
Report Post »These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation. 15 I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 16 So, because you are lukewarm-neither hot nor cold-I am about to spit you out of my mouth. 17 You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. 18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see. 19 Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest, and repent.

And the more I learn of the Messianic Faith, now growing in Israel, I can’t help but tell myself that things have at last come full circle…all rodes lead to Jerusalem…that Holy City in constant dispute by many.
Have you ever read that a great earthquake divided the city into three parts?
And pondered the fact that it is a disputed and revered place of three major religions in this world?
Have you ever also wondered how much is figurative and how much is literal in Biblical Prophesies?
I have wondered about these things for a very long time. And with all that I see happening in the world today, I wonder if we are now standing upon the threshhold of a new era in our history.
Bottom line, I think Glenn might think this too, but there‘s no way to tell what’s in his mind.
Guess we’ll all find out soon enough.
We can at least pray sincerely for those who are suffering for their beliefs in Christ, in China, in Egypt, in Israel and in America, all over the world.

All the while demanding that America be returned to god and, if it isn’t, that means its time for the whole world to die because the book of revelation said so.

Posted on May 13, 2011 at 12:22amThe official Chinese church is heavily infiltrated with communists and many topics are not permitted to be preached so many people attend underground churches. They also listen to church services from Hong Kong and other sources. The underground church in China is much larger than most people realize because very few people talk about it.
They sneak out to church in small numbers and gather together. When they get caught there are long prison sentences for the leaders and any others the government sees as a threat. There are regular raids whenever one is discovered. people in the area are often the ones who report to the government officials.
Christians are the most persecuted group in the World. If we are not careful,this will be coming here. The Bible speaks about it and about the fact that many Christians will be fooled into following a church which is false. Make sure that your church and your own beliefs match with the teachings of the Bible,particularly the new Testament and the words of Christ and the apostles. Anything that does not match will lead you astray.

Posted on May 11, 2011 at 11:27amPovertysucks, nice try, but no. its ironic that tea baggers attacked obama for going to a church they didnt like, yet claim obama is trying to take away their religious freedom. What a joke.

Posted on May 11, 2011 at 11:31am@beckisnuts and the other trolls, America is a nation who is returning to it‘s roots of Christian morals and a return to God’s principles. You have a right to be SCARED, but denying God‘s existance doesn’t mean He is not real. Go back to YOUR troll sites. Why are you proselyting here??? Go push your troll religion on your own troll sites,

Posted on May 11, 2011 at 11:36am@beckisnuts – there is only ONE God, and He is the Christian God who is also Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. I know you probably can’t wrap your tiny mind around that, but it’s Truth.
That said, this sort of persecution SUCKS. Americans don’t go through that, but I do believe it’s coming in the near future. Hopefully, we will be brave & committed enough to endure. Praying for these bold believers!!!

Posted on May 11, 2011 at 11:57amGod’s Word is alive and gives life eternal. I smile with tears in that their faith is strong. Stronger is He that is in us than he that is in the world. Love wins! God is Love! and the darkness is disapearing all the time in the sight of JESUS. All my heart soul and mind loves Him So we should show that love to the world! AMEN!

Posted on May 11, 2011 at 12:47pmThese people are showing the very definition of the word FAITH. They continue to worship knowing that it could cost them their lives.
Muslims have to bribe their believers with “72 virgins” and tell then them that it is honorable to kill anyone that doesn’t agree with them. Yet this is the “religion of peace”…
Jesus taught us to love God and love people and to share the gospel. We are not taught to attack and kill those that disagree with us, as a matter of fact those are the ones we should be witnessing to. http://www.unsalvageable.org

“By Jove, I’m glad to see you,” said Ransom….“I say—you’re all right, aren’t you? You got through the barrage without any damage?” ….
“To tell you the truth, Ransom,” I said, “I’m getting more worried every day about
the whole business. It came into my head as I was on my way here—”
“Oh, they’ll put all sorts of things into your head if you let them,” said Ransom lightly. “The best plan
is to take no notice and keep straight on. Don’t try to answer them. They like drawing you into an interminable argument.”
