The earliest Chinese Writing dated back to 2700 BC . It is estimated that the Tower of Babel incident took place around 2700 BC . A coincidence??? Definitely not!!! In fact, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay before there was Taoism or Confucianism in China, the Chinese worshipped the one true God - 上帝 (Shang Di) or LORD on High, the Supreme God. The similarities between Shang Di of the Chinese and Yahweh of the Jews is astounding. They are definitely the one, same God. Let's find out more about who Shang Di of the Chinese people is - According to Wikipedia - Shangdi is first mentioned in Chinese Literature in the Five Classics, (五經, pinyin: Wujing) allegedly compiled by Confucius in the 6th century BC. The Wujing was a collection of five books that represented the pinnacle of Chinese culture at that time. The oldest parts of the Wujing were first written around 1000 BC, apparently relying on older texts. All of the five classics include references to Shangdi. Taoism, probably the most embraced...
Hi Ger
ReplyDeleteHvn't read your blog in a long time but so happy to catch up with so many entries that are so God-centric, encouraging and full of love for our Father.
I thank God for a lovely SIL like you. Really.
Hi Chi!
ReplyDeleteNo worries you must be really busy. =D I am touched that you still found time to pop over to my blog. HUGS!
The entries will always be here anyway and you can take your time to read them over time. I tend to blog a lot being quite the excitable person (esp when it comes to just wanting to share all the stuff He has touched my heart with) hence my blog tends to explode. Lol.
I also thank God for SILs like Ta Chi and yourself - very grace-filled (not law-filled) & wisdom- filled women. =D In fact, I'd rather call you ladies SIGs than SILs lol.
May we all grow to see His love and His faithfulness in our lives more with each new day. =D
I see it in the new family He blessed me with , and I just rest and marvel at His goodness towards Kae and I.
