The Chinese Communist Party’s God Delusion

Xi Jinping and the CCP are rewriting the Holy Bible in a futile effort to erase Christianity.

Is the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leadership adding its name to that list of would-be but ultimately failed emperor-turned-gods that have plagued human history?

Apparently so.

CCP Replaces God’s Laws

Over the past couple of years, the CCP has forced churches to replace displays of the Ten Commandments with Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s own version of the moral commandments. That is, the Chinese leader is replacing God’s law with his own, which amounts to Mr. Xi attempting to replace God with himself.

It could be well-argued that such imitation confirms the CCP’s high regard for at least the religious format of Jehovah, if not the writing of His laws in stone. But the Party goes beyond that and also feels the need to rewrite the New Testament.

What’s going on inside the mind of China’s leadership? It’s hard to be certain, but we can certainly look at actions and history for guidance.

Moving From Forgiveness to Execution

For example, the CCP is applying its profound moral insights to the Gospel of John, where Jesus says to the priests who are about to stone a woman caught in the act of adultery, “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.” As the parable goes, none of the woman’s accusers cast a stone, and she is spared and forgiven despite the law requiring her death by stoning.

The new CCP-approved version, however, has Jesus declaring Himself to be a sinner and then stoning the woman to death, saying, “If the law could only be executed by men without blemish, the law would be dead.”

History and the God Complex

Why would Beijing feel the need to borrow or mimic Bible accounts that are, according to CCP doctrine, utterly false?

That is hardly the behavior one would expect from devout atheists. Why not simply outlaw Christianity and be done with it?

The obvious answer is that the Party leadership realizes that it can’t; therefore, the next best thing would be to control and reshape Christianity in its own image. Surely, Mr. Xi can at least manage that. Nonetheless, the Party leader is neither original nor wise in his self-deification or his pursuit to extinguish the Word of God.
