Last Sunday, Corps Secretary Terence Tan took Bible class and gave an interesting talk on "God and the Ancient Chinese." Using power point, he was able to show us a number of Chinese characters that depicted the fact that the Chinese were aware of the events recorded in Genesis like the Fall, the Great Flood and Tower of Babel. For example the Chinese character boat shows a vessel with eight people or mouths. Chinese legends tell us of a man named Nu-wa. Obviously the Chinese were aware of the great flood in Noah's time and the tower of Babel etc.
Terence showed us the parallel of Biblical chronology, Chinese chronology and Hebrew chronology. We now look forward to next Sunday when he will continue with this interesting study.
We have a group of mature adults who are keen on the word and are willing to share their knowledge of the Scriptures with others. As age creeps up on me, I am gradually relinquishing responsibilities to others. This will ensure continuity of the Adult Bible class started some ten years ago when Major Allen Satterlee was our pastor.
