A lot of Christians forgot the “do not fear.” Or somehow led themselves to believe that despite this command, it would be foolish to disregard what we were being told to do for our and for OTHERS’ good. You know, the whole, “love others more than yourself.” Or, uh, actually it is “as yourself,” but that trivial difference wasn’t supposed to matter.
I was astounded how LITTLE discussion there was amongst Bible believing Christians about these things. No wrestling with stuff. No long conversations about, what, really, does God mean when he says to not forsake gathering together. Or, when he says to lay down your life for your friends. How does that apply? I mean, does it REALLY mean that I put masks on my kids and myself - when I know the harms - just to perhaps make Sue feel better? How do we sort through these when people in powerful positions are ignoring evidence that their views are flat wrong? Am I *really* supposed to take an experimental thing, just to keep Grandma safe? How do we know Grandma will be safer anyway? Can we trust what we are being told? Aren’t there a lot of political incentives and conflicts of interest here?
I mean, I am not a brilliant person, but it was obvious that a fast 💉 carried enormous conflicting interests. Re-election hopes. Financial incentives. Popularity of public health. I mean, it was obvious. And yet so many people didn’t see.
But then, I have been blind for many years prior. Thank God for his grace awakening me in the years leading up to this current debacle,
Could have written your last sentence myself, one of the main reasons "Amazing Grace" is probably my favorite song. Written 250 years ago and we still sing it in church at least one a month. Such timeless truth.
