Chinese People Try to Convert Me When I Speak Chinese

When I lived in China I always thought it was interesting how whenever I’d tell people I was Jewish, invariably their next question would be “so that means you believe in Jesus, right?”And even here in New York I do get quite a few people talking to me about Jesus (as well as Falun Gong!).

中文八级 does not mean 80% of Chinese. It's a 100% compliment, saying your Chinese is superb. In China, 英语八级 is the top proficiency band which is mandatory for English major students to achieve before their graduation. Students majoring in other subjects are only needed to pass up to 英语六级 and they are usually not eligible to take the 英语八级 test if they are not English majors. Therefore 英语八级 is a symbol of English proficiency. When you say you have passed 英语八级, it means that you major in English or you are a professional in English and you have achieved the highest level you could get.

Although i do have to say, his uploading seems to be getting slower and slower, which sucks as I really like his videos. Hopefully he eventually gets back to a more regular schedule, but that's what happens when channels become successful and get bigger, they get to the point where they don't really have to release videos like they did when they were smaller, because they no longer have to worry about the algorithm so much and already have so many subs...so they end up easing up on the release schedule and are able to relax a bit. It kinda sucks for the viewers, but I imagine it's a godsend for the creators, since they can relax a bit and not constantly worry about gaining subs and views as much. I just really, really, hope it doesn't turn into a channel that only releases a decent size video every couple months.

[@Saved-kp4sq]

Since Jesus was mentioned, on my bed, I remember being petrified after a girl said that I would go to hell. I remember being up by the ceiling and I could see the bottom of my bed, but I was too afraid to look at myself. Then immediately I was in a Tunnel of white bright light travelling at a phenomenal speed heading towards something, the walls of the Tunnel were illuminating light. I thought to myself 'what's at the end of this Tunnel' And instantly in my mind I heard ‘GOD’ Then I was terrified, twice I shouted 'I want to go back' Immediately I was back on my bed as if nothing had happened. Then to my stupidity at 18 years old, everything went downhill. I got involved with crime, paganism, and the occult years ago. I saw demons manifest in a room with a witness present. They were black see-through shadows with hooded heads and they swayed from side to side as if they had no rest. Identical to the film ‘Ghost with Patrick Swayze. I called on the Lord God and they disappeared. I heard the audible voice of Jesus Christ in a thundering voice in which told me to “Fear no evil’ from another separate encounter. Even after the hearing the Lord Speak, I still rebelled against Him, such was the strong Satanic hold on me. One incident one demon growled the word ‘Yes’ After I asked it a question, and a young boy looked over and heard it. Days later I saw an open vision from the Lord in which He revealed a part of Himself to me after I cried out and pleaded that He would prove Himself, and that I never wanted to ever see the group of demons again. I started to attend Church, I left my evil life behind, and started to warn people everywhere that Jesus Christ died on the cross to save everyone from eternal torment and give them eternal life. Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.... So glad I know the truth, this is just a small fraction of my whole testimony. Please accept Jesus Christ as your saviour. He died and rose from the dead, to pay the penalty for our Sin and for us to escape Hell. We will all be held accountable at the judgment, either saved or condemned... I Thank God I know the truth. The Occult is real, hell is real, Satan and his demons are real, The Kingdom of Heaven is real, Jesus Christ is Lord, and demons are subject to His name. Seek Jesus and His Kingdom. My Full testimony is on other social media sites…. I still do not like shadows, neither faint whisper’s... God knows the truth of my horrendous past experiences. My wife's best friend died years ago when she was young. I told her 'Sam, you need to come to know Jesus as your Saviour’, and told her that I have a bad feeling that something bad was going to happen ' Death'. She went on the street and told everyone that I was crazy after telling her my testimony from the occult…Within weeks she consumed alcohol and because she was epileptic, she had a seizure in a bath and drowned as a result. The Lord showed me this beforehand. Also, during another incident an older man got friendly with me during church, I didn’t realise that he was gay at the time, I was younger then, and one afternoon he approached me at home and continually wanted me to pray over him. I told him ‘No Huw that’s enough’. He went into the kitchen to get a drink of water, I got on my knees and said ‘God please sort him out. Instantly he came running in, threw himself on the sofa, God gave him a vision of hell. He wept uncontrollably. I have other experiences also. Even to this day years later, I still do not like hearing faint whispers and seeing shadows. The demons were identical to the film ‘Ghost with Patrick Swayze’. Prior to my conversion to Jesus and regarding my testimony, I was a criminal. A close friend committed suicide; another friend committed murder. I gave my testimony to those in the forces, some believed. If only all did, everyone A short account of my full Testimony: It was like a living horror movie. I can recall as a child laying will be held accountable at the judgment of Jesus Christ and will either be saved or condemned. There is no escaping that, Jesus is only the way to the Kingdom. He paid the penalty for all our wrongs on the cross shamefully beaten, all for what? To save us all from eternal hell. This earth has been given over, cash will end, and in the soon coming future, the mark of the beast from the Antichrist will be forced. Revelation 13 16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
