You anti-vaxxers really need to understand that by not getting vaccinated, you are causing the virus to mutate and get worse, and kill lots of people!
You are just making Christians look stupid, and society is correctly perceiving that Christians are actually killing people by refusing to get vaccinated. You're concerned about a couple of aborted fetuses decades ago, but you're killing people right now.
Do you really think non-Christians find this behaviour attractive? Or does it make them hate us even more? I of course know we shouldn't care what they think, but we should also want them to receive salvation. By spouting the kind of nonsense that you are, you are literally pushing the whole world away and making us look like a crazy cult.
Thanks again to everyone who has prayed for my mother!
People who haven't taken the vaccine have also prayed for your mother...
and I think what makes Christians look stupid to a lost and dying sin sick word, is our lack of respect and love for one another, our lack of bearing with one another, our judgemental condemnation of one another, just because we have differing convictions. Isn't that what Paul was dealing with way back? Nothing has changed sadly.
Jesus said by "this" love we have for one another, this love that overrides all such differences that would naturally seperate and segregate people, politics, ethics and so on, this forgiving, servant, passionate love that we have for one another (because we are members of one body), that the world will know Jesus Christ came in the flesh, and that we are His disciples.
It is certainly not evidenced by our slating one another for differing beliefs on doctrinal differences, politics, preferences, opinions or our beliefs about taking a vaccine.
I think that it is better to show the world our "foolish love" based on the simple gospel. And yes the world will find cause to hate Christians regardless of what we do. There are plenty of anti vaxers in the world, lost and on their way to hell and there are plenty of pro vexers on that very same path. I am sure they all hate some of us equally. But that is not the issue. The issue is do we love one another despite our differing beliefs on such matters? Do they see that we aren't cutting off, belittling and despising one another because of such things... unlike the world?
That is the testimony that counts. That is what makes us different from the lost souls of this world. We are not here to make them love us.... they crucified Christ, they mocked Christ and the gospel is foolishness to those who perish, so lets not bring the world's opinion of believers into it. Let us be the example the world doesn't have, they can bite and argue and protest one another views all day long, but we don't have to, because we should have a better way.
