I Can't Keep My Mouth Shut Anymore

That's actually a no-no according to forum rules:

"[*]Do not state or imply that another member or group of members who have identified themselves as Christian are not Christians. If there is an issue where a member seems to have circumvented the basic tenants of the faith in order to join the community, please privately contact the Christianity Board Team to voice your concern."

Quick, call the quote mark police!
Sorry, April put me in a light mood.

Happens all the time. Kingdom Hall has invaded the forum.

Rules are rules. I can see debating issues and doctrine, but judging people's standing with God is strictly off-limits for me.

Even when they have a different savior? Which is more important to you, forum rules or Judgment Day?

Again, I repeat,.. I don't think anybody was saying to anybody specifically that they weren't a Christian. We were just saying what didn't sound like Christian behavior and it wasn't directed towards anybody in particular. At least, my remark wasn't.

Yep, more of the Word of God!

If you show me in print where it says in the Word of God that thou shall not take a vaccine or medicine or any of the sort to save thy life as it is the mark of the beast then I'll take it all back. There's no mark in my hand or on my forehead,.. so enough already!!!!

Do you hear yourself? Why would anybody want to do that? What, is somebody going to pull you over and point a gun at you and say; "This is a stickup! I saw that you weren't wearing your mask." I don't think so. Please,.. just think about what you're saying.

Now that the mask mandates are dead, the criminals will continue to wear masks, then perform a stickup as follows: "Since you do not on have a mask, please hand over your wallet and watch. We are helping Joe Biden maintain law and order in lawless USA".

I don't make the rules. Everyone agrees to them, btw. Everyone.

Isn't that pretty much the same thing though? If masks don't stop you from catching Covid, then how does that stop spreading it?

They keep the viruses and germs you have to yourself. Viruses need moisture to keep from degrading...water vapor droplets. You know...the reason you can see your breath when the weather is cold...The mask keeps those from being sprayed onto other people. A diffuser...like the scarf you wear over your face in the winter keeps your breath from being seen...because it filters your breath.

If it was the other way around...you would need a complete hazmat suit complete with a fit tested breathing mask that covers your whole head...a space suit of sorts. Because your eyes can pick up contagions easy. But wearing a mask so you don't infect everyone you come into contact with is considered "Thinking better of your fellow man than yourself"...you know...one of those things that Jesus said to do.

Wow. A science-savvy guy. You'd better watch your back around here.

That rule appears to me to be written more for US than for “others.”

I'm sorry; who's "US?"

 

[stunnedbygrace]

like...us, not JW{s for instance. I think they’re asking us to not start screaming heretic at them but to flag their post.

 

[JohnDB]

Wow. A science-savvy guy. You'd better watch your back around here.

I know...I shouldn't use logic, science, and reason with people who are convinced that:
The earth is flat...don't go sailing out too far or you will sail off the edge and be lost forever.
The Lizard people from outer space rule the planet and are in disguise.
The Illuminati are in control of everything...
Vaccines kill everyone that gets anywhere near them.
Doctors kill people because everyone who sees doctors dies.
Bill Gates is more interested in putting microchips into everyone than his girlfriend (that caused his wife to divorce him)...which also explains why they can't make cars due to the microchip shortage. Bill Gates bought them all and is having them put into everyone's arm.
The Tri-Lateral Commission is at war with the Buildaburgers at the moment...that's why we are having a pandemic...population control.

I would have to most solidly agree with that interpretation.

 

[Ronald Nolette]

Okay, I wasn't going to say anything, but even though I'm a pro-vacciner,.. I'm sick and tired of them being so gosh darn pushy about!! It's a personal choice and I totally respect the decisions of my friends @Heart2Soul, @pompadour, @lforrest, and all those that choose not to get it and I apologize that you have to put up with all this crap.

If the govt. mandates it, we as followers of Jesus should simply get it andd shut up! It is not unbiblical or immoral, so we should obey the governing authorities for the sake of the Lord.

You and my father-in-law should get together and go bowling. lol

I get it. Personally, I try to avoid the "us-and-them" theme like the plague. It is problematic at best.

 

[Amazed@grace]

OK, but that doesn't say what the evil of the beast is.

Is there any passage that does so?

 

[April_Rose]

Wow. A science-savvy guy. You'd better watch your back around here.

Why does everybody always think that you can't believe in God and science at the same time? I personally don't think that one could exist without the other. Meaning that I believe that science is the blueprints for God's creation. If we didn't have it, we wouldn't have proof of a creator and then there possibly might not even be one. I could draw you up a map if you need me to explain further, but that isn't the thread to do that for. It would have to be in private.

If the govt. mandates it, we as followers of Jesus should simply get it andd shut up! It is not unbiblical or immoral, so we should obey the governing authorities for the sake of the Lord.

So we should just let the government order us around like that? Yeah right. Sorry,.. but no. Personal decisions should remain personal decisions.

If there is,.. @kcnalp hasn't shown it to me.

Not that I am aware of, but Rev is just that, vague in a lot of areas.
