5.0 out of 5 stars Enlightening, April 6, 2000
This review is from: Genesis and the Mystery Confucius Couldn't Solve (Paperback)
I found the book quite enlightening. Many of the pictographs from ancient chinese as depicted in oracle bone and bronzeware writings, are strikingly telling of the genesis creation account. There were too many such examples to list them all here. On the other hand, there were a few that were....well, a stretch. The authors premise is that the pictographs were formed and accepted because the creation account passed down through the generations was universally recognized information. For example, the pictograph for dusk is a man, woman, and God behind gates in a garden. This is strongly reminiscent of the the genesis account of God visiting with Adam and Eve at Dusk as described in Genesis. In any event, the book is has enough of these examples to be worth reading. It is very good evidence that all races had one and the same beginning and God. It also provides evidence that monotheism was first.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well Worth Considering, more than just coincidence, August 12, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Genesis and the Mystery Confucius Couldn't Solve (Paperback)
The author discusses the significance of the mysterious Border Sacrifice which had been carried on by the Chinese Emperor from time immemorial until the Imperial system was overthrown in 1911. In this sacrifice, an unblemished bull is given to the God of Heaven, ShangDi (Highest King). Confucious knew about this ritual but did not understand it. He realized that whoever did understand the meaning behind this would be able to govern the world. In the recitations of the Border Sacrifice, the Emperor acknowledges ShangDi as the Creator. The author matches what is reported in the Hebrew Bible with what is written in the ancient Shu Jing and the Border Sacrifice recitations.

Looking for more clues, the authors turn to the earliest Chinese language pictograms. Those that were written on oracle bones, seal script, bronzeware. It turns out that evidence exists that the pictograms were pieced together by the occurances in Genesis. The creation of man is depicted, as is the Fall, and early sacrificial worship near the Garden gates. Since this study is so detailed it is easy to get lost in it if you do not have a good working knowledge of Chinese (which I do not).

However just look at a few of them and be amazed. The word for righteousness is the character for lamb on top of the character for me. This is so, even in modern (traditional) Chinese. It cannot be a coincidence that a lamb covering me is righteousness. It is because God has revealed to us that the Lamb of God taketh away the sins of the world. And to apply that salvation to yourself is to take cover under the righteousness of the Lamb of God (Jesus Christ).

For a shorter summary and more examples of what is covered in this book, search for answers in genesis chinese and you'll get a hit for an article telling about the original unknown God of China. Another good book is Eternity in Their Hearts, which tells about how knowledge of God and the events in Genesis were known to various people groups throughout the world. And indeed, when Paul visited Athens he found an altar to the unknown god, which he made known to them in that day.
