China Takes Bibles From U.S. Christians Save Email Print
8 comments
A | A | A

(August 17, 20080—A U.S. Christian group says Chinese customs officials confiscated hundreds of Bibles from visiting members.

The leader of Vision Beyond Borders says customs officials took the Bibles from group members' luggage after they had landed at a southwestern China city.

Members of the Wyoming-based group had more than 300 of the Chinese-language texts.

They had planned to give them out to local residents.

An official at the airport's customs office denied confiscating the Bibles, but said authorities were just "taking care" of them.

She gave no further details.

In China, Bibles are printed under supervision of the Communist government.

The officially atheistic country only allows them to be used in government-sanctioned churches and in some big hotels catering to foreigners.

Nice going. Typical of a Christian to push their beliefs on others.

I agree with Sand and Dave, we dont all believe in the same god, therefore we have no right to go to another country pushing ours. Im sure we would be offended if muslims or buddhist came over and said, "you need our religion, yours is not the right one". Be thankful you are in the U.S. and have the right to choose your religion. The way i see it, just be glad people believe in religions that promote peace and faith, because thats what religion should be.

If the people don't want the Bible then all they have to do is say no. The Chinese shouldn't be so scared that their people are gonna wake up. And Dave, how many foreigners have followed your "logic?" There are tons of different religions in America and they didn't get here on their own.

Dave is right. To some of us it doesn't seem fair, but some things aren't legal here that are legal in other countries... like weed. They can't carry it around in America just because they are from another country where it's legal. Countries have laws to obey no matter how bizarre. If you feel it's unfair don't visit. Simple as that. Just be thankful you're from America.

Freedom of Religion is a right and privilege given to citizens in the U.S. It is not a world-wide view. Perhaps this should be a reminder to us to be grateful for the blessings we have in America.

The Gospel of Jesus Christ is for EVERYONE on the earth...it may not be accepted by ALL of them, but why should someone be able to prevent another from having it if they want it? I have no problem respecting another country, but oppression is oppression and keeping knowledge from its people is oppression. God Bless those who are not afraid to share His Gospel!

Don't bring your version of religion to another country Respect the country you are visiting
