CHINA 1923 Mikhail Markovich Borodin (Михаи́л Бороди́н 1884 - 1951) was the alias of Jewish Mikhail Gruzenberg. He was a Comintern agent. Borodin joined the Bolshevik party in Russia in 1903. He worked in Mexico and later in China with Sun Yat Sen & Kuomingtan and the Communist party in the 1920s and 1930s. • Mikhail Borodin was the Russian Communist sent to China in 1923 to help organize the Nationalist Chinese Party.
A journalist asked him • “Do you want to take over China?” Borodin replied "No, but our ideas will!"
The reporter said,"But you are too few!Do you mean you will take over one fifth of mankind? “Never in a thousand years!" Borodin retorted, "Oh yes, we will!
Shanghai Race course 1920 • “You forget that I am not here for my health. I don't spend my time in bars or at the races like the English. I'm not interested in a career or a fortune like you. I serve an ideology, and it is not numbers that count, it is dedication.”
“You Americans would not understand that. You concentrate on comfort and personal success. You had a chance here, but you didn't care.”
“I am interested in China, to help her change. It is not a matter of whether we enjoy the work, it is necessary, and that is all that counts. Long ago I made up my mind that Communism alone is the answer for the world, because unlike religion, it insists on changing things. I decided to go where I could help most. The Party decided I could help most in China so I came. Nothing else matters."
Then he said: • "I used to read the New Testament. Paul was a real revolutionary! I take my hat off to him. But where do you find him today? Answer me that! Poor dedicated Borodin, accused of being an enemy of the Soviet, was sent to a gulag in Siberia where he died in 1951. Misguided by vain Churchianity and recruited by cruel Marxism, he did never discover the real truth! Where? Where? And neither didbillions of others!
Poor Borodin! • If only he had looked a little bit further or harder … • For just about that time & even before, some very dedicated Christians, like the “Cambridge seven” were very active in China with the “China Inland Mission.” • CIM was founded by radical revolutionary missionary Hudson Taylor! • God had showed Hudson to adopt Chinese dress to better relate to Chinese people, for which he was ridiculed by ex-patriate Shanghai Churchians. Theycould’ve showed him howto be a revolutionary “Paul!”
Because of such radical “Pauls”… • 8 % of the Chinese population is now known to be Christians. You realize how many that is? • At least a 100 million Chinese! More, than all present British, French and German dedicated Christians left over from Hedonism, together! • The Communists are so worried about them, that the underground home churches are continually harassed, their leaders imprisoned, as well as tortured & even martyred!
What are you living for? • Are you living for comfort, the pub, or the horse races? What are you doing for Him and others? • He is no fool who gives up what he cannot gain, to gain what he cannot loose! • It’s better to live for something, than to die for nothing, like Borodin. His beloved Communism killed him. • We’re all gonna die some day. Better be a martyr for a worthy cause.—The cause of eternal love!
Jesus said: “What shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, but lose his own soul. What can a man give in exchange for his soul?”
Why doubt? Just believe! If you don’t know how, just ask Jesus to help you believe. He also wants to come into your heart! Just say: Dear Jesus! Please forgive me for my unbelief! Help me to believe and come into my heart and save me! Give me eternal life! In Jesus Name I pray! Amen! PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO OTHERSFor more powerpoints visit www.powerpointparadise.com/
