China

China It is well known that China has a tyrannical social credit system, that controls what the people can and cannot do. Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau, actually praised China for their social credit system.
Churches in China have been torn down for not complying with their agenda. Yet, it is also fairly known that China is largest supplier of Bibles in the world. They ship out billions of Bibles mainly to the west every year that are inexpensive. Crossway who are Bible producers for example are in China, for that very reason, because they are inexpensive in China. I am also told that many of these Bibles are sold in China as well; despite the Bible seemingly conflicting with their agenda. China of course makes a lot of money for selling Bibles and other products. However, there seems to be a contradiction here. Their Social Credit system and selling Bibles and other religious books, etc.., seem to conflict with each other. The leaders in China are rumoured to be wanting to write a Bible that changes the Gospel message, to make them Lord. I am told that Christianity is actually growing in China faster than any other country, regardless of the fact that Christians in China are persecuted for their faith.
I seem to be missing something in the equation and am wondering if someone might be able to tell me, what I could be missing in what seems to be a contradiction in the equation? Can anyone shed a bit of light?
I know a few Reformed Christians that do not seem to believe reports out of China, concerning their Social Credit system. They believe the truth might be that the west are more the tyrants than China.

"A Consuming Fire: Holiness, Wrath, and Justice" - RC Sproul
Pilgrim
Fri Sep 01, 2023 10:40 AM
WE LIVE IN A CULTURE WHERE THE VAST MAJORITY of the people occasionally gives lip service to the existence of God but almost never regards Him as holy. If some do acknowledge that He is holy, very few add to that holiness any idea of divine justice. And if we are able to find a handful of people who agree that God is both holy and just, it is next to impossible to find someone who will add to these elements the idea that God is wrathful.
The assumption in the world—and even in most of the church today—is that the love, mercy, and grace of God either swallow up the holiness, justice, and wrath of God or effectively trump them. It is common to hear the hymn “Amazing Grace” played or sung. But hardly anyone believes that grace is amazing. It is something we assume.
In this chapter, I want to examine a pair of biblical texts that I have preached on many times. However, I do not apologize for having made the point I wish to make before, for these are things we need to examine over and over again. The Bible says that “the LORD your God is a consuming fire” (Deut. 4:24), and we dare not forget it. It was brought to my aging memory a marvelous little book written by the late Dr. R.C. Sproul, In Holy, Holy, Holy: Proclaiming the Perfections of God that I had read years ago and as I found myself both smiling and near to tears in thinking of that man of God who influenced my early years as a Christian and doubtless countless others in the truths of God. And thus I wanted to share a small part of that writing in the prayer and hopes and it will continue to make a mark upon the mind and hearts that read it with the end that God will be glorified and worshipped as He so deserves by those who the Spirit has brought to a saving faith and union with Christ.

In His service and grace,
