There is only one word to describe this thread!
Paranoia!
From Nehemiah who started the thread, (whom I now believe is mentally ill!) to almost every Bozo and clown who posted, you are obsessed with lies and propaganda from the right.
Of course, there were a few rational people like Post Human and Aidan and a few other people, but the rest of the thread is just nonsense.
This thread was started some time ago. We were all worried back in the day. At one point I gave into my youngest son and his wife, and their fear-mongering, and decided I would not get the vaccine, because I felt too much was unknown. But gradually, a lot of doctors, who are my doctors, my in-laws and my friends, talked rationally about the virus, and got the vaccine with no ill effects. My 91 year old mom got Moderna back in March, had a sore arm, and is doing fine in her long term care. She was in hospital for pelvic and hip breaks the whole first year. I was terrified she was in hospital, in places with COVID outbreaks, but the next year, Feb 2021, my sister arranged her vaccines and she has been fine. Her Care facility has had no outbreaks since the vaccinations started.
Over and over I look at less than reputable links, lies about infertility in girls from the vaccine, which is nothing more than a sketchy theory, although certainly there are young men who have been affected by the vaccines in their hearts. So, not saying the process is perfect.
But the insanity of people saying others will lose their salvation if they take the vaccine?? How far from the person of Christ can you get? God saves us, no other. We cannot be left or forsaken by God, ever. Examine your bad Arminian theology, which you have taken to a crazy extreme. (Not all Arminians did this, I thank you!) But some people are so brainwashed! The likes of Kenneth Copeland come to mind. His brand of heresy led to the death of a friend of mine with breast cancer, when she refused medical treatment and died when the cancer metastasized!
I don't know what some of you would do with me. I was prayed for, prayed over, begged God for healing. God's answer was to take me from bed ridden to normal, in only a few months, with the right RA meds. God even used my good health to call me to an MDiv and now a PhD. Not for my own vanity, but to help people who are disabled.
I consider ignoring medicine to be a terrible sort of vanity. God provides us with doctors and researchers, the use the clues of our body to fight back against diseases. I doubt I would be alive without the meds I take. This vaccine works. All of them. The troubled vaccines have been removed, while millions have gone on to be 100x safer from COVID. I stayed inside my property line for almost a year. I found out I was rushed and COVID quarantine was a great break. I also did not get one cold turning into pneumonia in 15 months. During this time, the bottoms of my lungs dried out, and the bottoms started to function. I will be wearing my mask in the future at all times, not because of COVID, but because of the common cold. I do have a very fancy carbon filtered mask, which really does protect from viruses and molecules. So, I am healthier than in 30 years, and my asthma is gone, too!
There was one thing in the OP that Nehemiah said that was true. He said he brought this discussion out of the conspiracy forum.
No doubt that was a terrible mistake! There was no discussing the Bible, except for a few people throwing in a few verses. This was a politically paranoid discussion. Next time, please keep it where it belongs in the conspiracy forum, so the balanced and sane among us don't have to put up with crazy, poorly referenced nut-case theories!
Let's stick to the Bible in the Bible Discussion Forum! Take politics and medicine elsewhere!
