Sorry my friend , I can't agree this time.
A church north of us met. A friend of mine's cousin went to 'praise the Lord' with the others...
Two weeks later she went down with Covid along with 14 others from that church service. She was soon on a ventilator in ICU , my friend told me that this cousin just died , only 60 yrs old.
Last week 57 members here, who were part of a large church meeting 10 days before, went down with Covid. ...many are already very very sick.
It's foolish to meet together, especially like these churches who also took their masks off and sung.
GOD is where we find our strength and joy...it shouldn't make us feel deprived if we can't meet.
God is saying to us all , right now.. " Am I enough?"
We met every Sunday no problem. The stupid state needs to keep out of Church business. All this is is Satanic manipulation against God's Church. They will have to shoot me because I will never give in to the satanic state and stop going to Church, ever!
Well it's admirable that you and your church are not having problems, history. I'm very glad to hear it. I just don't know if I could take such a hard line on the State if ours made that kind of decision. Knowing my governor, his heart would be in the right place. He'd merely be wanting to save the lives is all. But then, not every governor is the same either. Some are downright anti-Christian, and would be doing it more for politically-motivated reasons.

Hi, Helen, it may be foolish, but the government should not prohibit adults from choosing to meet together any more than they prohibit drinking hard liquor or smoking cigarettes. Drunkenness alone has probably caused more deaths than COVID-19 ever will when you consider how many people have died at the hands of drunks, including drunk drivers....

This is sad about MacArthur's church, but I have a feeling this is only the beginning.

I hope that they will appeal, and I hope that other churches will fight this as well.I am sure that this will be appealed and depending on how the judges judgement came down once this is under appeal the order doesn't stand.
Maybe his net worth is declining. "Quick! Let me open up so the money keeps rolling in."And I honestly don't trust MacArthur for several reasons, especially financially. Someone worth 14 million dollars cannot be trusted to have completely pure motives.
Actually, he didn’t initially open his church. Members just started showing up. Why don’t you get the facts and stop judging!!Maybe his net worth is declining. "Quick! Let me open up so the money keeps rolling in."
Maybe Satan wants to see Christians dying of coronavirus and spreading it to others. I don't think spreading disease is a good way of spreading the Gospel. It looks like a way of making people hate Christians.We met every Sunday no problem. The stupid state needs to keep out of Church business. All this is is Satanic manipulation against God's Church.

Yup, must be it, lol. A fast track to heaven!Maybe Satan wants to see Christians dying of coronavirus and spreading it to others. I don't think spreading disease is a good way of spreading the Gospel. It looks like a way of making people hate Christians.

No, they are not good Christians by disobeying the rules the government sets forth to prevent illness and to save lives. They are rebelling against both God and man.They are heroes. We obey God not man, true Christians anyway.
The adults who choose to assemble should be allowed to do so. By your reasoning drinking liquor should be prohibited.No, they are not good Christians by disobeying the rules the government sets forth to prevent illness and to save lives. They are rebelling against both God and man.
Romans 13:1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
Anyone willing to risk the lives of his neighbors so he can go attend a church shows has no idea what Christianity is about. We are supposed to love our neighbors. Saying, "I must go to church for my own sake" is being selfish and non-Christian. It's keeping a "set of rules" for the sake of keeping the set of rules -- it's legalism, pure and simple.
Anyone willing to risk endangering the health and lives of his neighbors cannot claim to love God. It's not possible.
1 John 4:20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
Such ministers are not heroes. They are hypocrites, probably motivated by the love of money.
The adults who choose to assemble should be allowed to do so. By your reasoning drinking liquor should be prohibited.
I’m proud of the pastors who are taking a stand on this issue. If they let this continue, where will it end?
