You are now a Christian pastor in China and you've decided to open up a Church. That's all cool and dandy but you are given two choices.

Become a government sanctioned Church. You will be allowed to preach your beliefs but you will also have to mix in your words of praise with words of praise to a Communist regime that has killed millions telling your flock they must be patriotic…by worshipping the party.

Start an underground, unsanctioned Church. You don't have to spout any praise to the Party but you risk being arrested and sent to a 'Labor Camp' for your non-compliance.

Which would you choose?

Because it's better for edifying in line with 1 corinthians 14:26. Both. Become a non government sanctioned edifier of the brethern who says to be patriotic in line with romans 13 even though the communist government in chinkland are evil, froward 1 peter 2:18, kikes revelation 2:9 because of getting power from Satan himself matthew 4:8-10.

How's this even a question? There is a reason romans 8:36 is said.

Larping priests.

I actually might go to China for a couple years but I doubt I'll find an orthodox church there… Sucks.

Please stop with your autism and if you quote a verse, post it. This is just insufferable.

C'mon anon, everyone knows you're not a true believer unless you can recite the entire Qu sorry, the Bible from memory.

The Chinese government recognizes five religious communities: Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, Catholicism and Protestantism. However, they do have a few exceptions to this rule. Hong Kong has Orthodox churches open and running, though not very many. This is because Hong Kong is under different laws from the mainland. Within the mainland, there are two Orthodox churches, one in a Russian Embassy and one in a Russian Consulate. There is also a third Orthodox church, The Church of the Intercession of the Mother of God in Harbin, which is open for all.

The word of God is quick, and powerful. It is the joy and rejoicing of our heart. There isn't power in numbers that designate certain sections of the word. It's best to include both the words of the verses and their numbers; but if you can only do one, just post the verse without the number.

>The Bible is comparable to The Quran in any way, shape, or form

Pray to God for forgiveness for your blasphemy, then read your Bible again.

There was no blasphemy, anon was pointing out how inability to actually quote verses was outright painful for other users.

Comparing reverence for The Bible to reverence for The Quran should be bannable. Reverence for The Bible is good, reverence for The Quran is bad.
