Hey are you talking about God? Forgive me for what you said does not agree with the word of God. "There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling." " But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you. " "The righteous person may have many troubles, but the LORD delivers him from them all" More verses. The point is.. this is what God has said. They are promises that He will/has to keep. He said "So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.". There is no "choice". For it has already been spoken. There is no time with God. So what He has said.. is real, alive. We do also need to know "But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord;" Gods will IS His word. This is where we trust/faith that no matter what we see, hear, feel, no matter how BRIGHT the day or DARK the night.. He will ALWAYS keep His word. "A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee." So the choice is not up to God but us. Do we put faith in what He has already spoken? The lol plain fact that there are far worse viruses and what not going around that has killed more. Why fear this one? The flu alone has been known to (.. praise God..awful) kill over a 1000 in one week. We really need to exercise our faith, work it. So that when something from the enemy tries to hit us.. we stand and then stand.. and can not be moved. If we don't then when it does happen.. we fall, we doubt. We do like Peter did. We take our eyes off of the WORD and on to the world and all around us. That WORD can not will not ever fail. Ask Him..don't take my word for anything. Ask HIM.. Jesus is SO real. Were on that boat.. huge storm.. duh were all going to DIE! LOL.. And .. what? REALLY? Jesus is sleeping like a baby? You know that SON OF GOD? Is where? IN YOU! With you.. never left. What is to hard for the lord? As He said this to Sarah. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He have said he will be with us even to the end of the world /age depending on what translation you read . if God is for us who can be against us James 5:7-17kjv 7Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. 8Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. 9Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door. 10Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience. 11Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy. 12But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation. 13Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms. 14Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: 15And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. 16Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. 17Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. We have the victory we just need to live right and endue to the end! Edited March 4, 2020 by vic66 add scriptures 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hand santitizers will not get rid of Norovirus and C-Diff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our continued existence is not assured, but our spiritual salvation is certain if we believe and follow Christ's teachings. The latter of which is far more important. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The moment we truly repented and trusted in Jesus Christ, we were born again. Our names were written in the book of life. We have received everlasting life. This is how we were all delivered from death. Back on earth, some Christians may die a horrible way, as we can see in the NT what happened to the apostles. It is wise to be prepared, because we still live in a fallen world and our fleshly bodies. Persevere in trusting God, specially when we encounter difficulties. That is also how we can grow as Christians. For me personally, I keep testing myself regularly. Am I panicking and failing to trust God? Or am I fully aware of my salvation and that I am just trying to prepare for what is to come. I wear a helmet when riding a motorbike, it protects me. So, same should I wear a mask during coronavirus epidemic if I believe that it will protect me. Edited March 4, 2020 by Wesley L 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
