Gospel according to Chairman Xi has Jesus turn killer

[Copper]

The Chinese Communist Party is rewriting the Bible

Gospel according to Chairman Xi has Jesus turn killer instead of forgiving sin>In the Gospel of John, Jesus famously confronts the accusers a woman caught committing adultery, saying "let the one among you who is guiltless be the first to throw a stone at her."

The chastened accusers slink away and Jesus says to the woman, "‘Has no one condemned you?' 'No one, sir,' she replied. 'Neither do I condemn you,' said Jesus. 'Go away, and from this moment sin no more.'"

The rewritten Gospel of John excerpt ends, not with mercy, but with Jesus himself stoning the adulterous woman to death.

@Copper it could be worse. The revised version could have made her a lesbian woman of color.

Just have China get rid of all the religious books and replace with Chairman Mao's Little Red Book.

Here is my copy.

What a bullshit article.

A possible sneak preview of what a Bible with socialist characteristics might look like appeared in a Chinese university textbook in 2020.

I have no sympathies whatsoever for the CCP, and I have no doubt that they'll put all kinds of twists into their bible, but this whole story is resting on a random "university textbook", not on the "CCP bible".Rather disappointing journalism.

Rather disappointing journalism.

It's an opinion piece published on Fox News.
