That you are not putting your trust in God. I am here to tell your. Stop listening to fools! If you ignore the advice of the health care people. You going to run the risk of spreading Covid-19 to others as well as yourself. There is no sin in protecting one's self from danger! You are not sinning if you wash your hands. You are not sinning if you distance yourself from others while this pandemic is going on! God gave each of us common sense and he expects us to use it! So do not listen to these fools who try to question your faith just because you have the good sense that God gave you to protect yourself from danger! Am I mad? Yes I am mad! I am mad because if people don't take precautions this virus is going to spread. As of right now as I write this, there is 51,825 confirmed cases in the US. With 670 deaths. In my state of Ohio right now there is 564 with 8 deaths. And we are just getting started! So wash your hands, distance yourself from others, stay home if you are feeling sick and all that other stuff that the health people are telling you to do. And do not listen to fools trying to bring your trust in God into question just because you are you are using the sense that God gave you and protecting yourself and others! 5 4 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few days later, one of them was tested positive for covid-19. Twenty people and their families are now in quarantine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blessings Sis Now the cases in US are over 53,000 with 700plus deaths...so yes,it is not to be taken lightly. As Christians we should be even more concerned for our fellow man and consider them when we make our choices Someone commented about the Christian who tested positive after a prayer meeting-I won't comment with a stupid comment saying"Oh maybe he/she is not really Born Again" because that would be ridiculous.Sometimes God works good in evil so we are used as Living Testimonies for His Glory.....I'm a good example from Deliverance of StageIV incurable cancer..... What God Has for each of us is very different from one another,still we can look to His Word that Tells us to comply with governing authorities.....and yes,we are given a sound MIND & should be using it as we pray for guidance & direction.....always testing the spirits & seeking Confirmation in His Word-Praise Jesus! With love-in Christ,Kwik 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When in suffer, people search for God. A few believers have died and left their youngsters wondering about the whys. Now churches are closed, internet is where they look for answers. We cannot be found having unsound arguments! We also cannot be here implying that their beloved ones weren't important to God, because if they were, then they wouldn't have been infected. Testifying our faith by challenging the situation is unproductive, unnecessary, a disservice to God. All this doesn't point to the power of God, it points to the entitlement of our ego. We must be welcoming and testify the comfort, the satiation, the hope we have in Jesus Christ. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And do not listen to fools trying to bring your trust in God into question just because you are you are using the sense that God gave you and protecting yourself and others! This is just my take on this, but I dont' think in terms that there is necessarily a conflict between faith and common sense....we are to be led by the Spirit (and sometimes our common sense is being informed and led by Him)....if someone is being led by the Lord and truly is walking in faith then they just obey the Lord for themselves individually. If someone doesn't truly have that kind of faith and they walk around as if there is no pandemic, then they are being presumptuous and could be endangering themselves and others. Be it done unto us according to our FAITH....not everyone is given that measure of faith, or has yet grown in Christ enough to have faith on the same level that Jesus had it. Or we might only have it at spontaneous times when He is moving. It doesn't mean believers are condemned who aren't walking in that level of faith, but we need to just be honest with ourselves and not be presumptuous. I have faith insofar that if believers gather in small groups for prayer and worship in each other's dwellings then I believe the Lord will cover those gatherings, as long as we pray and ASK Him to, in faith believing. But otherwise I will just keep my distance from people when I need to run errands, and wash/sanitize my hands. Unless the Lord LEADS me by His Spirit to do something otherwise. But I fully believe that some can have the kind of faith to walk around freely without any precautions. Just that they might want to keep in mind consideration for others, that if they get too close to unbelievers who are anxious about the virus, it might make them nervous. We need to be sure we are being led by the Lord, and know the difference. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
