social distanting? not in my bible

[vic66]

14When Jesus arrived at Peter’s house, He saw Peter’s mother-in-law sick in bed with a fever. 15So He touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she got up and began to serve them.…

Jesus didn't run from peter's wives mother because she had a fever he touched her hand and rebuke the fever.

Power of God not unsaved nonsense

Luke17 Jesus healed ten leapers who were look upon as unclean out caste but Christ didn't run from them he heal them with the power of God no scorning or distancing going on here 

12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:

13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.

14 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.

15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,

16 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.

17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?

18 There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.

19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.

 He touched her hand...............sick in bed with a fever.

didn't run..................................because she had a fever

no scorning or distancing.........unclean out caste

didn't run from them............... not unsaved nonsense

That's cool Vic, sharing with us what Jesus has miraculously done.
You appear to suggest that as believers we should/could be doing the same.(assuming this is about the corona virus)
How is that working for you. Please share with us. 

God's blessings..

    As it should be today also.

..."Then the devil took him to the holy city and set him on the pinnacle of the temple  and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written,

“‘He will command his angels concerning you,’

and

“‘On their hands they will bear you up,
    lest you strike your foot against a stone.’”

 Jesus said to him, “Again it is written, ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.’”....

But your not Jesus. So my advice would be not to be touching people at this time. Especially if they have a fever. 

God did give us common sense for a reason.  We should use it.

Social Distancing In The Bible

Mat 18:15-17  Moreover if your brother shall trespass against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone: if he shall hear you, you have gained your brother. (16)  But if he will not hear you, then take with you one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. (17)  And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the ekklesia: but if he neglect to hear the ekklesia, let him be unto you as an heathen man and a publican.

Rom 16:17  Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which you have learned; and avoid them.

1Co 5:9-13  I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: (10)  Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must you needs go out of the world. (11)  But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. (12)  For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not you judge them that are within? (13)  But them that are without God judges. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

2Th 3:6  Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother that walks disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.
2Th 3:14-15  And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed. (15)  Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

1Ti 6:3-5  If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; (4)  He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof comes envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, (5)  Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

2Jn 1:10  If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:

Yep...social distancing isn't new.

[Jayne]

Anyone who believes that social distancing is wrong is not thinking with common sense.

Jesus healed Peter's mother-in-law.  But he didn't bring a horde of people in her room with him.

Our health care workers today are doing the best that they can to bring healing to sick people right now.  But hospitals and doctors' offices are banning crowds.  That's a good thing.

When God came to Egypt to kill the first born, He told the Israelites to stay in their homes and observe a special meal.  Keep the door shut with blood of the lamb on the door posts.  He said, "None of you shall go out of the house until morning."

In Isaiah 26, the people sang about God's provision when he brings his wrath to Judah and more.  "Come, my people, enter your chambers, and shut your doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while until the fury has passed by."

Jesus Christ didn't have to distance himself from sick people because he is God and cannot be stricken with illness.

Health care workers must be very, very careful at this time and should be prayed for daily.

WE should stay at home, unless something is urgent.  Yes, calling others to make sure they are OK is very important.  

 

[Debp]

Yes, we must use common sense about dealing with this virus.   It is very contagious.   The droplets can land on one and infect.....thus the required six feet distancing.

[vic66]

God knows who belongs to him and he is more than able to assist them in times of trouble and need see exodus 12
