- Many people don’t know that the first preaching of Christianity in China pre-dated the Jesuits by more than nine centuries. We’ll take a second cursory look at the Jesuits as part of a bigger story that includes Christianity in China during the Tang and Yuan dynasties. We’ll see that prior to the arrival of Matteo Ricci, there were two other lesser known attempts to grow Christianity in China.
In this episode the voice of CHP guides us through the history of early Christianity in ancient China, its triumphs, downfalls, struggles and achievements. We many who embrace it and those who rejected and sought to crush it. From acceptance to resistance this is the story of one of the greatest religions in history in one of the greatest nations in history!

Paddy Cronin I am not the speaker and yes the speaker is awesome ;)
Paddy Cronin and now your stupid comments are deleted ;)
Buddha wasn’t Chinese, either, and his followers were ill-treated too until Empress Wu: Buddhism, Christianity and Islam were “the three foreign religions”.
Nestorian Christianity took root in Fuzhou during the Tang Dynasty, where Marco Polo found them still practising.
Fuzhou was the hometown of the largest number of top Chinese scholars throughout the Ming and Qing dynasties.
In fact, the leading family of Fuzhou (descendants of the ancient Marquis of Min) are still Christian. Sinologists will recall the name of one member of this family: Commissioner Lin.
@ElementHunter Man, you are in every single video about nestorian christianity spewing your fake history? What's your problem with them?
You are mistaken in your representation. China was before Christianity itself. They believed in 1 God the same God of the Bible before those of Europe or Middle East by about 2500 years. Be careful how you erroneously represent the "Good News", lest you be an agent of darkness.
Rest in peace to this excellent history seeker, thank you so much for sharing with us while you were here! Insahallah he is having great conversations with these past peoples in the hereafter.
Wait what!?
What how who? Laszlo?
Very good and interesting summary of the history of Christianity in China. The details and ancestry of the rabbans were some I’d not heard before. Thanks!
WOndefully put together and easily understandable. Easy to follow and the narration is very dynamic too. Thanks Be blessed in Jesus name !
Awesome, loved listening to this 🍃🌟!! His episode on Silk Road was fascinating too. I love Chinese history..
Yesssss he is so good! If all goes as planned he will be a guest on the show eventually!
For the Chinese Buddhism was just as foreign as Christianity . It came from a far away place
It would be nice if the modern CCP were to recognize this fact. As it is now, Xi thought gives an honored position to Chinese "traditional" religions including Buddhism, but persecutes Christianity and Islam.
@Goosa Poosa Plus the Uighurs are financed by the CIA to cause trouble in China.
This is my church,the church of east ( Assyrian church of east today) FALSELY called Nestorian by the Roman Catholic Church and the orthodox church ‼️‼️‼️‼️
Yes! Well established fact. Surprising he didn't get that right.
Great video
Yes my ppl the Assyrians evangelized the whole east with genuine love for their converts and most importantly Jesus Christ.
Western rome infiltrated the Assyrian church of the east because of its dominance in the leader of all the apostolic churches for 800 years evangelizing the world while Western Rome was clearly doing this because the Persians were their enemy while the blood of the Assyrian church martyrs and saints were shed for the church of Jesus Christ while rome just philosophy away acting self righteous like the Pharisees.
We walk the walk.
The west go 1000 yrs later under the guise of evangelism and conquer with the papa getting hand picked from the emperor to do the devils work.
The real Christianity through the APOSTLES the church still follows 2day.
But the western and Byzantine falsely accuse the Assyrian church of heresy which was a lie from their father devil to further destruct the church which ended up splitting in factions till 2day
I didn't watch this video, but MAN THE COMMENTS SECTION is OFF THE HOOK! I would love to have a convention with everyone in there and DEBATE for days!
God in Ancient China, is a great one ro watch here on CZcams.
Lord Jesus Christ - my righteous '義'- the Lamb of God sacrificed for me!
Watch "God in ancient China"
@ElementHunter its is. Check it out
@ElementHunter It was truly enjoyable. THe translator woman was so cute and uplifting. Was a sermon though. I have found scholarly evidence on topic shared not as amusingly or entertainingly. Boring Aussie guy blathering, or dynamic Asian Duo preaching the same content! If you are not Christian you will still enjoy it for the comedy value(intended)!
I believe in a Jesus who came for all people 🙏. I am fascinated by all of it. I watched that presentation last night!
Wonderful narrative summary plus memorable irreverent narration - history brought back to life accordingly! Thank you..
Awesome channel and great map =)
The Chinese believed in SHANG DI, long before Satan created those other religions. I pray for my brothers and sisters in China. That they look at their own Chinese characters, for they have been writing God's story in their alphabet, all along.
Cantonese alphabet? Sorry if thats an ignorant question, I am trying to learn.
Book of Job is one of the oldest Old Testament Books.
That's because we are all descended from Noe and his family and we still retained some of our knowledge of who the true God was, even through our many superstitions.
"Satan created those other religions."
-Sorry, what was that?
Shang di 昊天上帝, is related to taoism, not christian, the Chinese name for christian god is 天主、天父.

"CE"? Using that system of dating really diminishes taking what you say seriously.
Very interesting, and eye opening, thank you.
Never thought the fierce Mongols would have had anything to do with Christianity.
Jesus philosophy is to the warrior an over coming of himself
It's a severe discipline
@@fortunatomartino9797
That is a noble ambition, and I believe is what Christians (disciples of Jesus), are meant to do; overcome the self (the human nature) in order to have the nature of God.
That is what it means 'To be born again'.
John 3:3 Jesus speaking "I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, that unless a person is BORN again (anew, from above), he cannot ever see (know, be acquainted with, and experience) the kingdom of God."
Verse 5; "What is born of (from) the flesh is flesh [of the physical is physical]; and what is born of the Spirit is spirit."
Actually, till our present time the Assyrian Church of the East (Called Nestorians by the Europeans) still has a church in Mongolia.
Great work!
Thank you! Cheers!
Yes indeed it was the Christian missionaries which brought Christianity to China I remember going to a small church at my village when I was 11 years old in the forties then I had to go to San Francisco to be with my father who was an American citizen so I was an American's son then I boarded a ship to be with my dad.
Buddha was not chinese either, so what are you talking about?
Yay!
There is a parallel to catch here involving “ing-land” and “babalonia” I mean “Bavaria”
What if they are the direct ancestors of the tower of Babel
"Guaranteed to break the ice at parties" lol. Python reference?
Where did the very early Chinese come from? They didn't show up out of the ground in China, they took have a history.
June 18, 1942 who was born?

Tradition, politics and a whim ... the spread of religions ... or not.

Spain?! Spain it´s a country in nowadays in Iberic peninsula. In roman times to most of this peninsula the romans call it hispania. You must be more accurate.
Spain = España = Hispania
Different forms in different languages: same place.
The Syriacs were not/not Nestorians.
Shang Di was the original God and will one day be the only God....... Yahweh
The original God of China was Shang Di...... They have records back even as far as the Exodus. I have studied this greatly.
@ElementHunter please recommend a book(s) to pick up! I would love to read them.
Yahweh the Canaanite wind diety. Got it.
Book of Job
💀 And where is he now while YHWH is still worshiped as the one true God throughout the world? And is the One True God btw.
First
What a weird graphic around 4 minutes in that makes it look like Christianity was the majority religion in Central Asia leading up to the mongol era and then the Mongols took over the Christians or something. Weird interpretation.
Joey Burt: we don’t have any census figures on that question, but there were christians among the prominent mongols: one of Genghis’s rivals, and several of his daughters-in-law.
Manh Mongol and Turkic tribes were actually Christians like Keraites and Naimans. Probably the greatest Mongol/Turkic Christian was Rabban Bar Sauma whole lived in the 13th centiry. He was born in Beijing but travelled all across Eurasia reaching as far as France and met the Pope and kings of England, France and Byzantium.
@@zoetropo1 Right! Thanks I was going to say something!
@@greatwolf5372 Thanks Wolf good point!
Enough with the self-accolades already. Don't say "Excellent Presentation" in the title of every show.
why God was unknown about India and China before Jesus.why there were no Jews no Christianity . before Jesus
Why do you think God was unknown about China and India? I think you should read Hindus holy book called Gita. Introductory information about God is in it which was written 5 or 6000 years ago.
@@GeraltofRivia-12 1500-1000 BC probably but still very old.
@ElementHunter Or Massachusetts compared to Kentucky even!
Who says there were not Jews? There are many Asian Jews coming back to the land.
What prove when jesus birth and died ?jesus birth and died is in the middle of han dynasty. People that said the sky is dark and bla bla,why in history of Han dynasty did not said anything about jesus?
This could have been a good video, but instead uses Silly Voice style
Christianity and Jews was only a person property .he was JACOB. THE HISTORY OF Jews and Christianity were NEAR ABOUT JERUSALEM and Jacobs family .NOT INDIAN NOT CHINA. SO God was know only Jerusalem area and Jacobs family. ha ha ha ha ha
@ElementHunter But the bible mentions many countries in europe, africa, asia(including india). Also you cannot just make conclusions on jesus or any others based on your own assumptions.
Yeah, i think this is just political and just legend of a good man, there is so many history of the good people in the world.
Abraham was to be the father of MANY nations.
Thats cuz Salvation is for the Real Jew, they had to go and preach to the lost sheep of Israel... the true Hebrews!!!
The 10 lost tribes of Yahawasha!!!!! So called Christianity has been jacked up by the Greeks and Romans!!! A burning cross who else besides cesar at that time Constantinople saw or did used a burning cross??? In todays world...
Pablo Vales: is Jason Alexander a Christian?
Pablo Vales
Are 'lynnard skynard' and 'hotel California' Christian bands?
Still have that holy fire in the tomb...What's that about?
@@shiningknight1375 HAHAHA! Yes if you are a LUciferian! LOL! TV EVANGELIST VARIETY doubly, so!
Typical black hebrew cultist 🤣
No No No, chinese traditional religion is Taoism, followed by Buddhist, the rituals of public or empire follows the taoism tradition.
