Lockdown the church of God NEVER

[vic66]

 

Should christian close down fellowship for months

Because of social isolation of unsaved secular leaders?.

More than ever the preaching of the  gospel  needs to be heard as ten thousands are being slain and many more to come.

Phinehas the man of God KNEW that decisive action against sin was needed to stop the plague. Quarantine alone wont work with God. He'll send even worse judgements,we will come out of the frying pan into the fire.

God showed Moses and Aaron what to do when the serpents ran riot in the camp of the israelites. Behold a brazan serpents and commanded the people  to look to it all who looked were healed 

Social isolation wasn't the answer to solve the problem . Repentance, humility and turning from unbelieve IS.

THE truth is that it is our sins, murders, abortions, adulterous practice, love of money, idoltaries, fornication,sodomism, worship of Mary and our rejection of the message of the cross why these things have increased. Not just corona virus but all the strange happens, the wild fires, earth quakes, thousand of birds just falling out of the sky, floods, terrorism, wars etc

Our sins have come up into God's nostrils and his not happy. (The wages of sin is death and we are reaping the whirl wind)

Worse is yet to come. Let's face it folks when God is finally finished dealing with fallen rebellious mankind billions will be slain. The scripture states man will, be like gold dust.

Isaiah 13:12 Holman bible

I will make man scarcer than gold, and mankind more rare than the gold of Ophir. God will in the end get righteous both in heaven and on earth.

Surrender your life to Christ today for you haven't been promised tomorrow.

Let us have oil in our lamps and in our vessels the bride groom is at hand. The signs of the times are getting stronger and clearer as each day go on.

There is room at the cross for you,

There is room  at the cross for you,

And all though millions have already come,

There is still room for one,

There is room at the cross for you.

God not happy? For GOD so LOVED the world. And He came and died for the sin of the world. So.. He mad at the sinner or us the body of Christ? Has not the sinner been judged already? "He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God". And when He has come (holy Spirit), He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment" He convicts men that they are sinners with no righteousness of their own, and that the wrath of God is their inevitable fate. With out Christ judgement awaits.

Christ already died and ROSE praise GOD glory to Jesus. Should not we be telling all those SINNERS the good news? God already judged. And these storms, earthquakes, viruses on and on.. as if Satan is not alive and well? WHY does God get blamed when we know Satan comes to kill steal and destroy. A key word there DESTROY. Christ in the boat? God didn't make that storm.

The reason we are still here is for GOD SO LOVED THIS WORLD! He gave His only son.. as you look at all that SIN know that Christ already died for them "For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved"

So Vic, where do you go to church? 
Do you go to church?   Y/N
Is your church closed?  Y/N
Should churches disobey the government/CDC regulations to save lives?   Y/N
As an individual believer, are you Vic, personally, going about the streets, ministering,
face to face, to those in need, and possibly spreading sickness and death?  Y/N
If not, why?

The C-virus is not currently killing people because of unsaved secular leaders.  Its killing because that's what it does if it can get to you, and your system is not able to deal with it.

So, World Leaders are tying to keep it from being able to get to you, by asking you to not go where its "out there" waiting.

 God has no issue with a Sick Christian not giving it to a room full of church members.

Do you understand this?  So, its OK if you watch your Pastor stream a video for a while.

Here is something else.   Right now,  secular social media worldwide reaches more people then a Church building, or a TV Ministry.  And because "the word of God shall not return void", you can stay busy teaching and witnessing all over it, and because people are scared, they are more open to hear the Good News ... and so you can give them the real Hope that is CHRIST, and you can do it 24/7.

When things like this happen, when a world's daily activity is turned upside down, the answer is for you to adapt and work the problem.  You are not to sit there watching the "death count" on 150 TV channels till you are scared and unglued, mentally.

Just wake up each day, thank God for a brand new Day he gave you, and do what you need to do, and what you need to do is spend more time with Him.

Now you have a lot more time to do it.

it is GOD shutting down these mausoleums all whitewashed and full of dead men's bones.  And most of them will never reopen.  And thank God for that.

This thread makes me want to scream.

Maybe you all don't have any cases or deaths in your areas, but I am from Louisiana and it is bad here.  Both Texas and Florida are not allowing anyone from Louisiana in their states.

You've got to be ....well, I won't say what I should say .... you've got to be *wrong* if you think that churches taking precautions at this time are "mausoleums of dead men's bones", "will never reopen", or that "social isolation won't work".

This morning, there were at least three churches in my area that met like a drive in theatre.  Everyone drove to the church parking lot and the pastor preached from the porch with a microphone and speaker.  No one got out of their cars, but just rolled their windows down just enough to hear.  THAT's how BADLY they want to be in church, but they KNOW BETTER than to congregate shoulder to shoulder right now.  At one church that I know of, there were people in cars who don't normally GO to church.

My mother's pastor has been typing up his sermons and sending them to all church members and more.

SEVERAL churches, including mine are living streaming on facebook,  youtube, and more.  In my church today, only the pastor, song leader, musicians, and cameraman came.   346 people on facebook watched our service.  We only have 100 who normally come.

It makes me physically sick to hear judgmental legalists say that these church will never open again or that we are nothing but whitewashed bones or that what we are doing in my very infected state is not working because God doesn't approve

The OP said, "More than ever the preaching of the  gospel  needs to be heard as ten thousands are being slain and many more to come."  You contradict yourself, brother.  

And besides, if you are all about the preaching of the gospel, then stop JUDGING Christians and churches and get out on the street corner and PREACH.

I'm so weary of mean-spirited Christians who think their "dung" does not stink.

Our churches in Louisiana ARE going to re-open and will have people bursting at the seams!!  God is using this time to help church reach out in ways we never have before - unique ways - that will bring more to Christ than ever.  And I praise his name for that.

You dont care about others if you think you should preach in there faces when there is a highly contagious virus that kills going on. The bible said if you are sick dont be about. But leave the camp for seven days. Let's love our neighbors and show light in not getting them sick.

I have a friend in Tulsa Oklahoma and the church they attend just found out they have 23 members tested positive and about 40 others with symptoms and are to be tested...

I agree these threads are getting distressing....

A pastor in indonesia just died of Corona n his wife in critical condition in hospital after having a retreat session in mountain  resort n many who attended was infected.  We are not immune to Corona. Be wise n don't spread sickness to mankind.

I suppose time will tell.  Churchianity is dead and most of those big beautiful buildings are the product of kingdoms of men, and the church was NEVER intended to take on a form where a few stars did all the ministry while the rest sit and stare at the back of each other's heads.

We've built beautiful air castles with flashy neon signs and then run into them and slammed the doors in the faces of those He longs to save....and it's coming to an end.  He is about to sweep His foundation clean and build HIS church.

Those who cling to tradition and their old wine and old wine skins will not be used to move with Him in His plans to close out this age. 

(and good riddance....i won't be shedding a single tear for a religious system that has caused His Name to be blasphemed among those He longs to reach and save)
