O.K. here's the rule; I won't tell you to get vaccinated and you won't tell me not to get vaccinated. If we all follow the rule then we can be loving and kind to one another.
It might be good to avoid those who are mean and rude who want to intimidate you into doing what they do, no matter what side they take.
Brethren, please stop clicking up on one side or the other and focus on loving one another.
Christ never commanded us to vaccinate or not vaccinate, but He did command us to love one another. It is the second commandment after loving Him first.
What is love:
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
"Love is patient and kind;
love does not envy or boast;
it is not arrogant or rude.
It does not insist on its own way;
it is not irritable or resentful;
it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.
Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.
Love always takes precedence when the mandate or command in the Bible is not clear.
If everyone would stop leaning on their own understanding or on the opinions of others we can live in peace with one another.
Colossians 3:14
"And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony."
Proverbs 3:5-6 "5Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; 6in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight."
God never said this; "look all over the internet for experts that will say what you want to believe because of your particular mindset."
The deception in the world today is so massive and enticing it has taken both sides of any issue to insanity.
If you love having those worry burdens on yourself over the food, the vaccine, and everything else. Go right ahead but stop beating me over the head with all of it.
Worry, worry, worry about everything all the time brings wonderful indulgent chaos and fighting, are these things really that important, or do they just give some people the sense that they are superior to others for their "news-hound" knowledge? Just asking!
1 Corinthians 8:1-2 "1 Now about food sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up. 2 The one who thinks he knows something does not yet know as he ought to know.…"
I am a big fan of allowing people to believe what they want without being battered and bludgeoned for not choosing the beliefs of others on things that God does not speak about.
Satan just loves how many believers are acting superior to unbelievers about a vaccine. Those who do this are ruining their Christian witness. If believers would be as bold about the salvation of Christ through faith in Him as they are about this vaccine, perhaps someone will hear the gospel and become born again.
I am deeply concerned about the level of angst I see almost every day over something that has no way to save anyone from their sins or from hell.
Hebrews 7:24-26
"24 Jesus, on the other hand, because He continues forever, holds His priesthood permanently. 25 Therefore He is also able to save forever those who come to God through Him since He always lives to make intercession for them.
26 For it was fitting for us to have such a high priest, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens;"
Just Saying!!!!
