... No one has taken any freedoms from me...
You know when Adam accepted the fruit from Eve, he placed himself under her. He submitted himself to a woman.EXACTLY CORRECT. They don't have to take your Freedoms, -- you give them up WILLINGLY. But as I've asserted to others from the Garden of Eden, MEN and NOT under other men, -- they receive directly from GOD. But women ARE RELEGATED to being under men, and so you wiling submit.
Two different perspectives, with two different results ...

... Think it's time ...
Thus my "caution", because many people don't know where we are in World History, --where satan is seeking to destroy mankind as we speak, and Jesus stands at the door ready to Return.
So are you "prepared" for when we can't "buy or sell"? Are you prepared for when the church is exhorted to "endure"? -- If not, retreating into "a quiet place" may cost you your well being.
And GOD doesn't want you to discover too late. Hosea 4:6

Sometimes I just find a thread that's quiet. A couple around here just post music. It puts you in a gentler mood.For the sake of finishing this conversation I never asked for.... The only electronic gadget I own is a Chrome book... and a cassette/radio machine.
I do not have a phone... I do not have a television... I do not follow the media... I use my tablet for communicating via email with my daughter who lives in a different city than me... as well as a few friends. Every few months... I get the urge to TRY and become part of a forum fellowship... and I don't last too long before desiring to retreat back into my quiet place. It's all noise to me... everyone screaming and shouting about this and that. There does not seem to be such a thing as civilized discussion anymore.... everyone needs to be right and superior with their opinions... which is fine.. but I am honestly and simply not INTERESTED in this type of communication.
I have never had a credit card... and I don't owe a cent to anyone... no debt whatsoever... I pay cash.... and yes I see the time coming where cash will be no more.... Am I ready??? ABSOLUTELY.... there is nothing on this wretched earth that I desire. I am ready to go home... everyday I desire to go home to heaven. If ever I am asked to choose between Christ and the world... I am with CHRIST. So.... I hope this quenches your concern as to my supposed "lack of awareness and/or knowledge" of what is going on in the world.
This issue is being taken out of context.
This is no where near an example of persecution... that is an outlandish claim to make... I'm not sure how it is in other provinces... as I live in Ontario ... Public gatherings are permitted to happen if there is not an outbreak in numbers... Many restaurants are open and have been for a long time now... but at reduced capacity with safety measures in place.
Churches are placed in the category of LARGE gatherings for that exact reason... they are large gatherings and therefore they are affected in the same way sports complexes and concert halls are.... Somehow certain Christians believe this to be an infringement of "their rights".....
It seems that is all we hear about anymore.... "my rights... my rights ... my rights"....You cannot compare the way US has handled the pandemic response with Canada... they are two totally different countries with different policies.
Bad enough the United States is in a huge mess right now... and I fear civil unrest is brewing and much violence is about to occur... This seems to be a much more realistic thought than Christian persecution in Canada. God bless us all as we do our best to work through the issues that are facing us... and may we remember we are CHRISTIANS.
Whom do you serve?
Yes, we are concerned about you. I can't believe that you think these protocols are "no big deal". According to MY little opinion, government coercion intended to keep Christians from meeting together is a really BIG deal, and needs to stop RIGHT NOW. Why do you not understand this? I don't get it.For what it's worth... this thread started out as a Canadian making a comment and myself ( another Canadian ) making a statement
of how the protocols for covid-19 are in Ontario ( my province )... I made the simple comment that I do not have a problem following the government mandates presented in my community. NO big deal... my choice... my little opinion...
Give God the glory... no matter what!This is a good reminder of why I do not do well in public forums... People can't seem to let others have their own opinions without
pushing forth their own opinions as right and/or superior.
Think it's time to go back into my quiet little hole... LOL Maybe I will be ready to fit in by Spring.
