Won't He do it!!!

It may surprise you to learn the Bible was present in China as early as AD 635! How is that possible? And how do we know? A Near Eastern branch of Christianity,... called the Nestorian, traveled to China and were active during the Tang Dynasty, and they brought the Bible with them. We know this because of the Nestorian Stele, discovered in the 1620s. This monument, mainly written in Chinese characters, describes the translation of the Bible at the request of the emperor. The inscription references the biblical stories of Eden,the birth of Jesus and mentions biblical figures such as Satan and the Holy Spirit.
