All genuine Christians are fruitful, although not all are equally fruitful. No fruit at all demonstrates a "nominal" Christian.
This Corona virus pandemic could be the weapon that takes our liberties away , all in the name of saving lives?

It depends. In this hypothetical scenario, are you lobotomised? If not, then no.
Well, i try to understand, half of my familybackground is RCC. As a Follower of Jesus someone will Show works. Otherwise he is obviously no Follower of Jesus. But RCC teaches you need the works to be saved. And this is not true. No one is able to live a perfect life. And you musst be perfect to hold all the comandments. We are failing even to love as we should. So If you are failing in any point to follow Jesus comandments, are you saved ore are you lost?
Ephesians 2:10 - For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

. I think it’s nice having you here.

Correct.
Only about 20% are critical thinkers.
The pro shutdown,violate rights preemptive, quarantine healthy people crowd will erroneously cheer the next shutdown coming soon.
(The reopening of the country will,of course, trigger another wave of infections.)
So now the sheeple just see this insane shutdown as sop.
Iow....we are sc**** wd.
100% in democrats favor and instigated by and sponsored.
....all made possible by skewed projection of "millions dying"
Now the birth of preemptive shutdowns will ruin this country.
Last days insanity.
And tons cheer it on.
But remember....toilet paper will save you.
That is WHY the Democrats push "we will never see normal again"
They bamboozled you while you cheered them on and obeyed their insanity.

"Oh,but,but,the shelter in place,free money,and shut down economy "saved millions"
Keep holding that thought.
You will do "well"
Facepalm

there were many polls out there where 70-80% of the folks who took them said they did not trust the media and the government.
now, according to the c.d.c., about 90% of people are following their recommendations.
so, It seems as if the masses think that when something serious happens, they media and the government will just start telling the truth.
this is next level, supernova stupid.

God expects spiritual fruit, not religious nuts....and then some are just nutty.... couldn't resist.
No, your conclusion is wrong. People follow recommendations because of what happened in Italy.
Before Italy, everyone was saying, "'tis nothing but a flu", and some kept believing that for a while after, as well.
As powerful as media are, they are still not able to build Potemkin villages for all of us...
Many people have friends and family in Italy, and in this age of social media the media can't cover up things effectively anymore like they could. So people following recommendations doesn't mean anyone suddenly trusts the media.
so, from that I gather I can go to Church on Sunday, praise and worship the holy father, them Monday morning go to Las Vegas, gamble, watch pole dancers, do a line of cocaine, then come back to church Sunday business as usual?
I think heaven weeps over the carnal believer.
I think the "vacuum "will always be there. The allurement of the world.
We need that dose of Holiness in our being and to seek heaven in such a way that He invades us and we get as disgusted with carnality and sin as heaven is.
Oswald chambers says "Jesus did not come to teach men to be holy. He came to make men holy"
It is deeper than that.
To many believers the option to sin is met with forgiveness or they see "preemptive grace",such as those that believe they need not repent due to preemptive forgiveness.
I say they they do not know God.
If sin is that flippant...they do not know God.
Little new born believers are extended more mercy than mature saints.
Some are still in heavy sin and in some blissful fairy tale land thinking they are always and forever preemptively and nonchalantly automatically forgiven.
