Evidence of Chinese Military at Wuhan Institute of Virology

In an Epoch Times* article, Nicole Hao reported that a project team from the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) working at the Wuhan Institute of Virology from 2012 to 2018 included members of the Chinese military. The article reported that the leaders of the Communist government in China have denied any connection between the controversial lab and the Chinese military.

The article cites the U.S. State Department as the source of information that the Wuhan Institute of Virology was engaged in research for the Chinese military since 2017, and that workers inside the lab became sick in 2019, prior to the outbreak of COVID-19, with symptoms that may have been caused by the Coronavirus or other common seasonal illnesses. Ms. Hao’s article says that, according to the State Department, a virologist at the lab named Shi Zhengli has denied any connection to the military and that any lab workers got sick.  Dr. Shi is the director of the Center for Emerging Infectious Diseases at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

If possible, the information in Ms. Hao’s article should be corroborated by other sources before it is used in decision making.  However, it adds to the mounting evidence that may persuade one to believe that the government in China sponsored cooperative research between its military and the Wuhan Institute of Virology to develop biological weapons, and that the Novel Coronavirus spread from the lab to the surrounding population.

Regardless, the Chinese Communist Party is directly responsible for allowing COVID-19 to develop into a world-wide pandemic.  The best way to prevent this from happening again is for the United States and the world to sever all commerce with China, and to severely limit diplomatic and cultural interaction with China, until the Communist government of China turns from the aggressive path they are on and becomes a responsible citizen of the community of nations.

*By way of full disclosure, the Epoch Times is opposed to the Chinese Communist Party and is backed by a religious group that has been persecuted in Communist China (Falun Gong).  With that said, I have found the articles in the newspaper to be factually accurate, and I believe it is a valuable resource for information that is not being reported by the “mainstream media.”

It's All God

God’s grace (unmerited favor or mercy) and holy living (good works) are a “one - two punch.”  They go together.  We cannot be good enough in our own strength to earn salvation.  In our old sinful nature, everyone sins and falls short of God’s righteous standards. (Romans 3:23)

When we accept the gift of salvation, however, God will cause us to want to live holy lives, and He will give us the strength to do it. (Philippians 2:13, 2Corinthians 5:17-21) Good works are not the cause of salvation, they are the result of it.

For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people, instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously, and in a godly manner in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus, who gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, eager for good deeds.

(Titus 2:11-14 NASB) * 

… to be subject to rulers, to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good deed, to slander no one, not to be contentious, to be gentle, showing every consideration for all people.  For we too were once foolish, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, spending our life in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.  But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared, He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we did in righteousness, but in accordance with His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, whom He richly poured out upon us through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by His grace we would be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

(Titus 3:1-7 NASB) * 

For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not a result of works, so that no one may boast.  For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.

(Ephesians 2:8-10 NASB) *

 Please, ask Jesus to save you today.
