Communist China rewrites Bible making Jesus a sinner

Communist China is producing its own Bible. And they get it all wrong!

Recently, Voice of the Martyrs reports a portion of the new translation has been leaked. Their version of John Chapter 8 presents Jesus claiming Himself to be a sinner, and stoning the woman caught in adultery.

Revelation 22 warns of tampering with God’s Word.  “If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book;  and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city.”

Court: Christian nurse has right to decline to push abortion

Alliance Defending Freedom reports that Illinois’ Seventeenth Judicial Circuit Court has ruled in favor of a Christian nurse who lost her job because “she declined to refer women for abortions or provide abortifacient contraceptives. These were requirements that would have violated Sandra Rojas’ religious beliefs and conscience.”

The court awarded Rojas $370,000 in the suit filed in 2016 against the Winnebago County Health Department.

Psalm 35 says, “Plead my cause, O Lord, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me. . .  Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt.”

Good Samaritan saves two kids from burning apartment

And finally, an amazing rescue was caught on a police body camera, as an anonymous hero saved two children from a burning apartment.

The police spokesman complimented the Good Samaritan who made the difference, reports Arizona Family.

POLICEMAN: “He was at the car wash, minding his own business, and recognized that there was a fire back there, jumped the wall, left the car in the carwash, and just really did an outstanding job today. Really saved two  kids’ lives.”

The Good Samaritan delivered a 2-year-old girl and a six-year-old safely to the police officers on the scene. The children are expected to make a full recovery from their injuries.
