Our Flawed response to Corona Virus

Methinks someone on this thread doth protest too much.

The same one, and only one, confusing fear and love.

Time to ride your bike with no hands!  Weeeee! 

Ha, you know last bike purchase, I had to buy a girl's bike. My body being so beat  up, I can't swing my legs up over the seat  of a man's bike. I felt wimpy about it until I noticed how many mature men are riding bikes with a low support frame like a girl's bike.

Maybe I should have held out for some color other than purple though? It was all they had in stock at the time. I do know the matching purple and white helmet.... well a bit feminine.

Well I guess some do love to fear. Seems like it anyway. Funny thing is some evidently want to go to the big box stores themselves, but don't want anyone else out there with them. Seems odd to me that a fear filled  person wants others to join in their fear.

As for me and those I know and associate with we are making a real effort to get on with life. Our churches are opening up again we are meeting in small worship and prayer groups we are eating out  going to gyms getting hair cuts ( Well not me-no hair to cut). We are working to try to save life not lives, life. If the fear filled sit much longer,  many more will suffer catastrophic evil consequence of starvation, poverty, and suicide.

 There is a great lacking building up one that will cause way more deaths than any viral infection ever has, millions upon millions are already at severe risk.

If people want to put their faith in unconstitutional "social distancing" and face mask edicts from godless secular men, and even create a new religion out of it, they may do so.  As far as I'm concerned they were free to withdraw from society and wear whatever they wanted before anyone ever heard of Corona virus.  But I will seek God in times of peace, and in the storm.  Jesus always comes first.  He knows the answers before we even know the questions.  Nothing good happens without him.

It does not seem reasonable to conclude that wearing face masks in public is an non-Biblical act.  Even the Israelites were told by God to take preventive care regarding their health, as Biblical statutes regarding diet, disease, quarantine, and treatment of dead bodies reveal a knowledge of facts not appreciated by worldly men of medicine until thousands of years later. God’s law regarding animals unclean for eating would protect the Israelites while they traveled. It would safeguard them against trichinosis from pigs, typhoid and paratyphoid from certain kinds of fish, and infection from animals found already dead.  In all, the Law helped God’s people to distinguish between what was clean and unclean, pure and impure, citing about 70 different things that could render an Israelite unclean and these laws touched on physical hygiene, diet, and even waste disposal. Such laws provided remarkable health benefits!

I did not say that. Please correct your post to quote the right person. I was quoting someone else in the thread.

That's okay. I recognize that  we have a different advantage point on this awful political struggle going on. I do pray for you and for the care  nd healing for your mom.

The virus though,  it is a small thing  by comparison to what is happening right now world wide. I am a very tiny tiny tiny cog within the turning of events, yet  I am massively affected very directly by the effect on those that make products needed and desired by many  end users  of them. by this must shutdown mentality. 

All are being shutdown by politics right now. No ships coming from China means more harm to the economy of the entire world than  most can imagine, unless they are actively in the chain.

Plus retail stores shutdown means no demand for manufacturing nor trade. It is a meltdown, a collapse that is already starting terrific angst among many people. Yes depression suicide disease all come about because of this shutdown. Already the "cure" is worse than the disease! Tweets are insults by world leaders are not helping a bit to get needed materials to manufacturers and processors. All angry tweeting does is  beget  more angry tweets. Can't build upon wild growing hatreds can only destroy.

A crappy little government stipend mass mailed to a fear filled population hunkering down without  purpose is no substitute for free commerce and honorable work where one hand helps the other and one neighbor risks self for all neighbors. And God's own go about the unsaved world with the gospel of Jesus.

Well. Everything here seems to be opening back up again. Except for the movie theater and the amusement park.  The bowling alley  is still closed.  Restaurants are open but have to limit their setting.  People are getting hair cuts. All the stores are open now.  There was never an order here for churches to closed. That was left up to each church to decide what to do.  So anyway, with everything slowly opening back up. We will see what follow. Good or bad.
