Poorest, least literate and Muslim – the Dongxiang of China
12:20 in Special Days by jj
Day 08 for 20th September, coinciding with Ramadan 2007 / 1428
Chinese government statistics show that the Dongxiang are among the poorest and least literate of China’s 56 ethnic minorities. Many of them have only had slightly over one year of schooling. Most Dongxiang children find it difficult to learn Chinese. Some international aide agencies have been spurred to act in collaboration with the Chinese government to begin bringing a solution to this problem.
The Dongxiang’s “three treasures”, apricots, melons and other fruits, enjoy good reputation throughout China. There are possibly 200 Christians among the Dongxiang, however most of them are not organised in house groups or churches. There are village mosques and Muslim burial vaults and at the center of Islam in China, the Dongxiang has a reputation for being particularly devout.
Prayer Requests:
* Ask God to send Chinese Christians to live and announce the Gospel among the Dongxiang people. May there be opportunities to help them with medical, educational, social and agricultural projects.
* May God open the hearts of the Dongxiang in order that they could enter His kingdom.
Population: estimate 514,000 (Year 2000 census)

Why do you want to spread fallacities to these Mongolian brothers living in Gansu province? You say Jesus was the ONLY BEGOTTEN son of God. Son of God is a title used many times in the Bible see for example Genesis 6;1-2 about “THE SONS OF GOD…”! Then you say ; no you don’t understand he was the only BEGOTTEN son. Psalm 2;7 “Thou (o David) art MY son, this day I (God) BEGOTTEN thee”! Then you say Jesus is God. But in Marcus it is made very clear that he is only the son (a title given to many PROPHETS in the Bible) and NOT the same as the Father (God), Marcus 13;32 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, NOR THE SON, BUT ONLY THE FATHER”! The Holy Trinity? 1 John 5;7 of the James King Version “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word and the Holy Ghost and these three are one”, this passage is DELETED from the Revised Standard Version as a FABRICATION! The oldest found complete New Testament known as the Sinaitic doesn’t mention in the four gospels the ascension of Christ at all! This all point to the Bible being an unreliable source of information. Encyclopedia Biblica (vol 5 p.4980) “The New Testament in early times had no canonical authority and ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS WERE ACTUALLY MADE…”. This is even being confirmed in the Bible itself Jeremiah 8;8 “How can you say ‘We are wise for we have the law of the Lord’. But behold the false pen of the scribes has made it into a lie”! Your whole faith is build on Paul’s letters for he is the one that introduced this the only begotten son dying for the sins of men business. But NOWHERE in the four Gospels it is mentioned that Jesus died for the sins of men. Jesus did say however beware of the Jezebel that will follow in my footsteps and many will say I’ve done this and that IN YOUR NAME but I’ll say get away from me for I’ve not known thee! All this refers to Saul the Rabbi, for it is Saul that followed in Jesus footsteps (he persecuted the early Christians) in the land where Jesus has walked. Then he saw a blinding light (the satanic angle of light that he speaks about himself in connection to FALSE disciples of Jesus in one of his letters?), and it is he that preached in JESUS NAME. After havien given you clear proof that your fundaments of faith (only begotten son, Jesus is God who died on the cross for our sins and than went up to heaven in a cloud) are all false, maybe now you would better listen to what the Dongxiang have to tell YOU instead of you telling THEM your fallacities. For Muhammad (pbuh) appeared to cleanse the works of God from the corruption commited by human hand. May God guide you to REAL understanding and may peace be upon you.
