Recently, the new Hong Kong Legislative Council officials took their oaths of office. Some took it on a bible. They have asked God to witness that they are speaking is true. It is a frightful thought to call God to witness a lie. For God will not be mocked if they did it for appearance rather than being true to their faith.

A few days after this event the director of the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office, Xia Baolong, called on lawmakers to help implement the central government’s comprehensive jurisdiction over Hong Kong.

The Church has said, “Communism is intrinsically wrong, and no one who would save Christian civilization may collaborate with it in any undertaking whatsoever. Those who permit themselves to be deceived into lending their aid towards the triumph of Communism in their own country, will be the first to fall victims of their error. And the greater the antiquity and grandeur of the Christian civilization in the regions where Communism successfully penetrates, so much more devastating will be the hatred displayed by the godless.”-On Atheistic Communism, 1937

Those who took their oaths on a bible will either need to stand up against the Communist threat or fall victim to their errors. In either case, God will judge them and they should dread that day.
