Well I hope you wear gloves and a mask. Wash your hands and don't touch your face or eyes.  And if you reply back that doing any of those things show a lack of faith I will talk to you about seatbelt safety and why you should not drive on the sidewalk. 

I wash my hand  But i havent got any mask 

they are not easy to get hold of. I haven't  got a problem in wearing it to ease peopke fears. but if God can't help against the virus I am not convinces musk is going to to better help.

Myself and all of us believers  are in trouble if God doesn't help.

Internet is fine to use but the problem with it is there no in depth followship. personal thing need to becspoken inma private setting .Also internet can be restricted  and even cut off completely.

If you preach or teach something that face book or YouTube and all the other sites don't like they start to interfere with your service.

Fine then. I guess some people can't understand things and I just have to accept that.  Leading to communism? You know they had to do this as well in 1918 Spanish Flu and the US did not become a communist nation. Or a socialist one. 

This is stupid you say. Well I have a really good ideal what is stupid. 

 

My late Father used to say, “ Some people just ain’t got good sense.” I always thought he was on to something true.....

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. 

 

All of this. All of it. I agree with.

[JohnD]

During the bubonic plague,  doctors, clergy, parishioners alike practiced social

distancing to the max

when people showed the first sign of the plague:

sneezing.

That's where "God bless you" for sneezing came from.

It was "God bless you!" as they ran from you forever. 

Akin to the prayer over an execution victim "may God have mercy on your soul."

Looking both ways before crossing the street dose not mean I live in fear of cars or have no faith. It means I am using the sense God gave me.  If you want to put yourself in danger that is on you. But I really wish you would stop trying to get the rest of us to join you in your foolishness, and stop judging those of us who  are using our common sense as being people who have no faith.  

At this point dony cast pearls to..well you know the saying. 

I let people believe what they wish. Just pray for them.

We are asked to distance ourselves from others right now so we can stay well and safe. It is good judgment to do as the authorities are asking. Otherwise we are being rebellious. God does not want that. 

I agree with that.  We should try our best to obey those with the rule over us, but I disagree with the mandates.  I still try to obey them.  How come people see disobeying this law as rebellion, but when we say to obey the Bible it is called legalism?

I started riding motorcycles about 50 years ago.....here in Ohio we have these pain-in-the-rear Mandatory Helmet Laws. In all my years of riding, I have had only one wreck. An old lady pulled out in front of me at a stop sign and I grabbed the brakes so hard I went over the front of the bike and landed on the top of my head. Had I not been wearing a helmet I would have been killed.If it was “ the deep state” or if it were an example of too much government control, or maybe a plot by Bill Gates to take over the world that forced me to wear that helmet— I don’t really care. I thank whoever was responsible for that government “ over reach”. This same flaunting Of Power by the Evil State May wind up saving me ( I am 67) and perhaps my Mother ( she is 92) . I, as much as anyone, have no desire to see this Nation  go down the “ slippery slope” that could possibly lead to a loss of all of our freedoms.There is nothing “ diabolical” about using common sense to save lives.Stop being Alarmists.....the life you Save is extremely valued by somebody .Spend more  time thinking about that than you do worrying about the Deep State....

If you really to be safe, stop riding motorcycles.  They are not safe or necessary.

We are to obey civil authority:

Romans 13:1-14
"Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer. Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God's wrath but also for the sake of conscience. ... "

It depends of what part of the Bible we obey. If we are clinging to the OT teachings yes, it is legalism.
