social distanting? not in my bible

[vic66]

The darkness of the prime Ministers, governors, presidents in this.

They see grocery shops as essential services, they see gun stores as essential services, they see convenience stores as essential services,  airforce departments, military barrack, intelligence departments gardening stores, transport hubs, Amazon, walmart and liquor stores but not God's House?

Jesus said man shall not live by bread alone but by every word of God shall man live. He said this after he had fed the multidued with fish and bread and the wanted to man him king. He explained  to them that they should labour not for the bread that perish but for the true bread which come down out of heaven that if a man eat he would never perish. He meant every word he spoke.

So in the eyes of God the church organization is a critical service, that is partiall helping to restrain the full wrath of God from being poured out on this world. Yet most nations believe the church should remain on lock down?

The reason things ain't a lot worse at the moment on this earth is because he that let will let until he be taken out of the way. The Holy Spirit first and foremost is restraining evil with the help of the spirit filled born again church of God.

In Germany government has allowed some church services but social distancing measures apply with no singing? (No praising the Lord of Lord? How foolish and carnal is that)Jesus said even the rocks would cry out,when the jewish leaders tried to stop the people from praising him.

No singing is because it propels breath much further, and Stronger. More than 2m. More dangerous to spread virus.

Technology is a wonderful thing and it is amazing how so many can stay in touch over long distances. Our church as an on line conference where people can join to hear the message. But it doesn't replace the need to come together. It is more difficult for those unable to come to service, if they live too far away, not too much to do about it but see them on occasion, but if near then we make a point of visiting.  when it comes to the meaning of fellowship, well... there is more than one definition.  Here's another:  

noun

the condition or relation of being a fellow:the fellowship of humankind.

friendly relationship; companionship:the fellowship of father and son.

community of interest, feeling, etc.

communion, as between members of the same church.

Another meaning:

 To come together as Christians and worship God, in an environment which mimics what we will be doing in Heaven!

 

To come together in like mind, like heart, like spirit. It is the sharing of light. As much as this forum can be fun, it doesn't even begin to compare to being at church. 

In this time of trial it is time for churches to start meeting again. Christians were not meant to be apart!

amen thank for your much needed few mites right now

Yeah, you do. It's more than pouring though. It's spewage. Like venom. You've got a rather odd and twisted view of faith in Jesus and life as a Christian by continual slinging of rebukes.  Living in Jesus among brother and sisters is edification, building one another in the faith, encouragement, holding each other up, and strengthening the brethren. Never mind scriptures, you ought to know better! If you can't manage any of these attributes as a believer, what's your point, bro?

P.S. Just the scorn? It that it?

if you had followed the chain of the conversation it would be a lot clearer to you , I poured scorn on the thought of stop singing due to covid 19(never)

I do not know what your exact message is, but trying to convince people to do something that they already feel strongly in their heart is wrong, is an act of not only tempting, but leading others to sin. Getting someone else to do something that they feel is wrong is sinful. Why do I say that? Because Scripture teaches that if a person has doubts about whether he or she should do something that they should not do it. Because if they do, and they think it is wrong, and they do it anyway it is regarded as sin. We are accountable for every word, right or wrong that comes out of our mouths. Just as our actions, and thoughts are.  So what we teach or tell others to do, we will indeed be held accountable to God.    We do not have to be among a crowd of people in a church building order to worship, praise, and give God glory. We can do that in our homes or wherever we may be.  

Scriptures say Jesus often withdrew from the crowds and the disciples. So there is a time for being with people and a time to be away from crowds. Many are taking advantage of the time at home to have a deeper fellowship with the Lord instead of whining about what they can't do or where they can't go.

Luke 5:16 But Jesus Himself would often slip away to the wilderness and pray.

Mark 6:31, 32 And He said to them, “Come with Me privately to a solitary place, and let us rest for a while.” For many people were coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat. So they went away in a boat by themselves to a solitary place.…

 

I think the following bears repeating

 

We do not need to go out of our way, deliberately looking for problems or unpleasant events to prove who we are or that God is with us. To do just that is a glaring act of unbelief and that makes it sinful. Because what your doing is. . . putting the Lord to the test, to make a point that doesn't need to be made. (Deuteronomy 6 : 16) We don't need to prove to the world that God is with us and for us as Christians, because the world can already tell that we are Christians.

A good example of what I'm saying is. . . Satan after taking Jesus up to the highest point of the temple. “Jump off, God will protect you” after all, scriptures say, God will send his angels to protect you" Jesus said “Do not put the Lord your God to a foolish test” Jesus did not need to do it to prove who he was, or that the father was with him in this way. But if he had, it would have been a glaring act of unbelief instead.

Also, Jesus after being confronted by an angry mob that was ready to stone him, always walked away.  We don't read of him returning hours later, or the next day to try to convince the same crowd. He simply walked away and moved on to somewhere else. We don't see him looking for those angry mobs with  stones in their hands to prove that the father was with him. When they became violent towards him, he walked away.
