Covid Faith

Loaded question you ask.

First the bad news:

All people everywhere have the responsibility to learn, educate themselves, and act smart. This is not loose language, but I'm not going to spend half an hour now digging up all the verses in the bible that tell people to be wise, prudent, and know what Jesus forewarned about the evil agenda of the government and the horror of the last days.

The teaching about the Sower who sows seed and it landed on 4 types of ground (Pathway, shallow ground, thorny ground, and good soil). In each of the cases, the people are responsible to bear fruit unto God. In the 3 situations that produced no fruit, they were responsible to read, learn, and keep praying for understanding so that they could bear fruit to God (pathway); to take the word far more seriously than they did and be committed to HIm than they were (the shallow); and to not let the cares of the world and other desires choke out the word (thorny).

If you have been a Christian for more than a couple years, you should have already read the bible through a couple of times, and read many of the books within several times. The book of Revelation grants 2 special blessing in the opening paragraph: 1 for reading the book (aloud), and another for heeding the words therein.

Rev 1:3 Blessed is he who reads aloud the words of the prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written therein; for the time is near.

Being born in America and knowing the US Constitution should have given you more clues since the founders of America wrote explicitly that Man is not to be trusted and special limits should be put on him in a governmental sense.

And then if you participated in any of the better denominations that urge their members to read and study the scriptures, then you had to be aware that we all have a sense that the End Days are upon us. (Some of us are more keen to it than others, and the doctrine of a pre-trib rapture has done great harm because such people believe that they will not have to go through the tortures and misery that the followers of Christ have had to endure since the 1st century, and even during Old Testament times, the righteous were persecuted.)

Lastly, putting God to the test is not wise, i.e. doing drugs of all types or drinking while driving, or fornicating or behaving homosexually and being spared disease, as examples.

Now the good, or at least hopeful, news:


Mark 16:15 And he said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation.
Mark 16:16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.
Mark 16:17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues;
Mark 16:18 they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover."
Mark 16:19 So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.
Mark 16:20 And they went forth and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by the signs that attended it. Amen.


So in conclusion, Hannahande, Seek the Lord earnestly and repent of the sin of foolishness for taking the injection from the Satanic New World Order whose agenda we should all know plainly, and then ask God to be merciful to you such that the harm from the experimental drug (it's not a vaccine) He will spare you of its harm.

And believe, and keep beseeching Him about this.

Learn from the widow who kept bothering the unrighteous judge. Read

Luke 18:1 And he told them a parable, to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart.
Luke 18:2 He said, "In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor regarded man;
Luke 18:3 and there was a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, 'Vindicate me against my adversary.'
Luke 18:4 For a while he refused; but afterward he said to himself, 'Though I neither fear God nor regard man,
Luke 18:5 yet because this widow bothers me, I will vindicate her, or she will wear me out by her continual coming.'"
Luke 18:6 And the Lord said, "Hear what the unrighteous judge says.
Luke 18:7 And will not God vindicate his elect, who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long over them?
Luke 18:8 I tell you, he will vindicate them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man comes, will he find faith on earth?"

 

Don’t overwhelm yourself with fear or doubt. Personally, I suffer more from frustration & anger, & all of these emotions are detrimental, except for one, love. Quietly listen to your soul. You can’t obsess on what others do or say, because you don’t know if they have the faith that you have, which is the only truth. Trust that you will be guided to the right path when you listen to the voice that resides in you. He is there for you.

 

Know 'zactly what you are feeling!!! The following verses will help you if applied!

Prov. 3:5-6
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding;
6 think about Him in all your ways, and He will guide you on the right paths.

In 2000, when Bush ran against Gore, I went to bed satisfied that Bush had won. My wife, more of a political junkie than me, told me next AM that the "WIN" was in question. 'Course all the media were hyping that Gore had won!
I was so low at that point that I would have had to reach UP to scratch a grasshopper's belly. I'd had heart surgery & was now in rehab.
That same AM I went for rehab & the guy that worked with me asked what was wrong, as I was not my usual easy-going self. I explained my feelings, & he said to me, "Will, don't you know that HE is still in charge?" as he pointed upward.
At that moment, something clicked in my brain & politics have not affected me since.
Sure, I still get aggravated, irritated & upset, but, BUT, I still remember my chastisement & let Him handle the frustrations of stuff over which I have no control!

As some old ad from 'bout a hundred years ago said, "Try it, you'll like it!"

I am to the point that I do not trust any, ANY expert anymore; I'll just le God guide me in decisions about this political bug!

 

IOW, if you are a Christian, let the HS be your guide - if you aren't a Christian, well, good luck trying to glean the truth from all the bovine excrement put out by the "medical/political" experts!!!!! (Both schools, I might add!)

 

Romans 8:28 (NASB95) "And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose."

Some people believe this verse teaches we will be protected in this life. Others, myself included, believe this means that whatever happens to born anew believers in this life results in the same outcome, the events all work together in the result of our eternal life with God.

The reason why many do not believe in physical protection being promised is many times bad or horrible things happen to those who love God.

 

Wow!! I sure hope I don't write this ambiguously all the time!!
All I meant was that, as a Christian, you could let the HS guide you as to vaxing, not vaxing, mask wearing etc!

Absolutely zilch as to salvation or spiritual issues!! Hope this gives clarification!?

 

And you would be wrong.

 

@Hannahande,
In February 2020 my whole family were sick. My granddaughter 7, my daughter 43 and my self 71. Now my daughter this year donated blood and was tested for COVID-19 antibodies. She tested positive. In that February 2020 we were each sick for about a week. For me the worst part was I could not taste my food. This was before we knew of COVID-19.

 

I don't believe you. [Personal insult snipped by Scarlett O.]
