The time to make a stand was when the first hint of suggestion came about saying that they should "close"...
"Just sayin'..."

Correct. There was absolutely no serious concerted effort to take a very close look at the conspiracy to close down churches, to examine the true science behind the lockdowns, and to also examine all the fake information put out by those with a vested interest. However, it would still be necessary to do all this in the light of published information from reliable sources (which are being banned by the mainstream media).
True! My church actually did continue holding in-person services all through the pandemic. Thank you, Narrow Way Baptist!!!
Uh i mean i dont think they should close but not everyone believes that cuz reasons your intentions on this post seem interesting though were you actually wondering about it or did you assume they should stay open and just wanted confirmation? Im just curious as to your reasoning is all hopefully i didn't offend you or anything lol
First of all, all those Pastors who short down their Churches because of COVID or threats from the government are very ignorance of the Truth about GOD'S WORD and what the Church of CHRIST is. The LORD said, "And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it (Matthew 16:18).
I live in Spokane, WA and the Churches are operating fully. And we don't put on the evil thing called Mask which is from the devil.
Mask are evil? Am i understanding correctly? I definitely understand them not wanting to close but i dun get you there tbh lol
The spirit behind the wearing of Mask to prevent COVID is from the devil. That's what I meant. Wearing Mask don't prevent any one from getting COVID. The Mask is instead killing people.
I don't understand I don't care for mask personally but idk how they are killing people, I don't agree they make much of a difference in stopping the spread but I don't think they are necessarily killing people why do you say that?
None taken. I personally believe that they should stay open, and that what the government is doing is a grave error. However, a lot of the people that I know disagree with me on this. So I wanted to know what you guys all thought!
You should consider yourself very blessed, brother! Here in Alberta, we just had a 3rd pastor arrested yesterday.
First it was Pastor James Coates, who they kept in jail for over a month before releasing. Second was Pastor Artur Pawlowski (although I personally don’t agree with a lot of the things that he stands for). And third was Pastor Tim Stevens, who was arrested this last Sunday while holding church services. So, may you consider yourself lucky. Others have not had the privilege that you do!
Yes my precious sister in the LORD, others don't have the privilege that I have but I am don't afraid of anybody who may try to stop me from telling others about JESUS or living the Life HE has given me. Whether the person be an individual or government. I'm not afraid of any. No matter where they may put me, I will still tell others about JESUS and do what HE has sent me here on earth to do. No matter where we are, we live our Christian Life. That's Wonderful. Glory to JESUS.
What a Privilege and a great Honor to be persecuted for the LORD'S SAKE.
The LORD said, "Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you (Matthew 5:10-12).
GOD bless you.
JESUS IS LORD.
Amen! It IS a privilege to suffer for Christ’s sake. And it is a blessing to see those that are WILLING to suffer for Him, especially when many lame Christians are not!
God bless you as well!
Our church never closed. Nobody wears masks...ok... almost nobody wears masks. And the pews are jam packed.
Lucky you! What church do you attend? My church also never closed, and we don’t wear masks either. I’m glad that there are still sane people out there, aren’t you? God bless you and your church!
You know what's funny, I wasn't even going to any church at the beginning of the corona ruse. Then everyone started masking up. And I found there to be this kind of isolation with the mask. I never realized how nice it is to be around people from time to time.... and I'm a pretty solid introvert! I really think there is a kind of spiritual toxicity that happens with that masked isolation. So going into church, with no one wearing masks, was really refreshing.
YES!! Seeing some sane people is soooo encouraging. I couldn't agree more!
You stay awesome, ankagirl! I'm proud of you.
Get used to it. Christianity will be forced underground as in many countries already. I don't know that it will be a bad thing. It will surely sort out the sheep from the goats. It might make Christians take responsibility for their own Christian walk instead of delegating it to the pastor. It may put an end to the phony "Christianism" that makes up much of the so-called church today.
True. Tge Bible does speak about a ‘great falling away’, perhaps we are witnessing it!
I think the churches that worship God should obey God rather than men. And the churches that worship the Beast should do what the Beast tells them to do.
