Churches in China Forced to Surrender Tithes and Offerings to Government



Some churches in China are being forced to hand over their tithes and offerings to government authorities as China continues cracking down on Christianity.

According to Chinaaid.org., the government in China’s province of Zheijiang has enacted a new law which forces churches to surrender all their tithes and offerings to authorities.

“The government officials will interfere with church affairs, managing our donations and some large-scale projects. We have to obtain their (the government’s) permission if we would like to buy equipment or decorate the church. We will have to ask for permission for any expenses more than a few thousand yuan,” a source told China Aid.

China has been increasing its persecution of Christians and crackdown against Christianity in the last few years.

In 2014, China’s president Xi Jinping began a “Beautification” campaign called the “Three Rectifications and One Demolition” campaign. Authorities have used this campaign as an excuse to demolish hundreds of churches and crosses. A number of Christians pastors and human rights lawyers have also been arrested for refusing to comply with the authorities’ demands.

Chinaaid.org notes that this year’s annual report by the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom ranked China among the “countries of particular concern” where “the governments either engaged in or tolerated ‘particularly severe’ violations of religious freedom.”

That is very good!

Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God [granted by His permission and sanction], and those which exist have been put in place by God. Roman 13:1 (AMP)
Since all governing authority is granted by His permission and sanction and Offerings and Tithes belong to God. Logically Offerings and Tithes are meant to be given to the governing authority, Government!

For those saying they should be subject to govt authorities, when they submit their tithes and donations to the chinese govt, what will remain in the coffers of the church for whom the tithe was meant for?
Let's not judge this based on how we view nigerian pastors n churches. This is outright persecution.

If you ask me, it's good. Churches that actually asked their members to pay tax but they themselves do not pay tax, but will choose to fight in the court not to pay tax.

Did Jesus not pay tax?

THEY JUST WANT Offering? No problem.

Have you ever wondered why everybody(Including your gods) is trying to silence Christianity? People are threatened because they know we're getting rid of all evil shortly. And of course, we're taking the Kingdom smiley

I see no reason why peoples, especially babies minds should be chained to something they knew nothing about - it's really agonizing while watching it happening is highly tormenting


I just hope one day we can live in a world where religion no longer exist - a world that encourage freethinking. Our live should be our own.

After a *million years* of empty boasting, e.g. "Greater is he who is in me, than he who is in the world", we can now see that the hand of the Chinese Government is treating christianity like the 'syphilis infected houseboy' it has always been!!!
