"The true God worshipped
by ancient Chinese"
Dear friends:
It is well-known that ancient people throughout the world worshipped the God of the Bible. They obviously learned about Him from Adam and Noah, and their offspring, and honored Him until unbelief and paganism took over. That falling away is easy to understand when you consider what has happened just in recent years when most of the world is saturated with Bible truths via missionaries and the electronic media, but still lies in unbelief and paganism.
Christian anthropologist Don Richardson documents much of this ancient biblical knowledge in his fascinating book, "Eternity in the Hearts," and other works. This is a most fascinating subject.
A dramatic example of this is how millennia ago the characters in the original Chinese language were based on the Bible. The best explanation of this I have ever seen is contained on a Web site sent to me by Daniel Looi in Singapore. Check out http://students.washington.edu/cbsf/cool/Chinese.swf and you will be amazed and blessed.
Please share this with Chinese and Asian friends, and others as God may lead. It is a great witness.
Jim
