Trump says Churches ESSENTIAL!

[Logostician]

Trump has ordered churches to be classified as essential, and ordered governors to open them up.

Thank you Donald Trump.  Thank you for showing Godly leadership and spiritual backbone.

Thank you Jesus.  You always hear me, and answer my prayers.  There is none like unto you!!!

Of course he does not have the power to do so. But hey, good one President Trump! It puts the pressure on. Now if only Christians will take corporate worship seriously  support and attend it will be quite the month ahead.

Governors never had the right to ban churches.  It was unconstitutional.  Trump is fulfilling his oath of office to uphold the Constitution and the first amendment.  More importantly he is fulfilling his commitment to God Almighty and his son Jesus Christ.

Trump has gone to the Supreme Cout before.  He'll do it again if necessary.  Let's see if the Supreme Court thinks the Constitution is important.

But a local fire marshall has the health and safety code enforcement at his disposal  to use, and so does the local health department. None are stopping religion they are regulating safety in buildings  for the common good.  My own local body of Christ failed to comprehend the fire marshall's authority until he closed the building that housed church.

He is the only “ Godly” man that I am aware of that has never done anything wrong that he needed to ask forgiveness for.....how blind.....how sad.....

Hasn't happened so far at Florida, might but it hasn't. We will all learn going forward.

As for me I will risk it for the sake of living real life instead of this home arrest except to make trips with the parking lot filling masses of people going to Home Depot, Walmart, Target, Lowes, Indoor Malls, and every major grocery.

 So church is different? My church  is opening  after reducing capacity  by 80 percent to utilize so called social distancing, and is having multiple identical services. Can't imagine how the comparatively few of us that attend church regularly are going to increase overall social contact and become an increasing cause of spreading disease. For if  not at church where would I and the other church attendees be found?  Walmart? Home Depot? The Wine Shoppe? Where?  

Really, I do have to be somewhere, why is it church is thought to be a dangerous place  to the community for me to be, but The Wine Shoppe, Lowes, and Target is not? ???

Ha try to social distance at the Wine Shoppe - that isn't happening. People are packed in and those that know their way around are not waiting to get down the narrow aisles they want to travel to grab their bottles.

 Thinking about it they are not your numbers. They aren't even real numbers. They are guesses at best.

Last night our deacons voted to wait. I wonder if this news will change that decision at all. We shall see! 

 

I wonder what Trump can do if the governors refuse? I hope this doesn't get ugly. I hope churches use caution, maybe split up into multiple services etc. I would hate to see this cause a big flare up. That would be really sad.

Growing up in the Caribbean, there was a saying that my mother use to pound into us.  

"Who can't hear shall feel"

In the Jamacian lingo

Who cyaa hear mus feel.

Who can't hear, must feel
