Overcoming China's "Community Standards"

The Bulletin Board is for gratitude for Christian Science and the Church, as well as timely excerpts from the Bible, the works of Mrs. Eddy, and the early workers that help and encourage. We are very grateful for all posts that conform to these guidelines, but will edit or remove anything that the Practitioners feel is not in complete accord with pure Christian Science or in any way disrespectful of it.

We also ask that you keep your postings as concise as possible. If you quote the Bible, please use The King James Version, as this is what Mrs. Eddy used. Thank you!

    2 Timothy 3: 16 – “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness . . . ” However, the Bible transgresses the “community standards” of comradely togetherness — human harmony — as defined by the Chinese government. Thus, at this moment, Chinese bureaucrats are zealously revising the actual words of the Bible for doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness as defined by the collectivist state. On top of this, minors are forbidden to attend church, a policy that undermines the fulfillment of the previous verse in 2 Timothy: ” . . . from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures . . . ”
    That’s the bad news.

    However, the good news is very good indeed: “digital Bible smuggling” — https://www.opendoorsusa.org/christian-persecution/stories/digital-revolution-face-bible-smuggling-radically-changed/

    ” . . . the word of our God shall stand for ever.” (Isaiah 40:8.)
