This virus has managed to divide the church causing people to snark at one another over something that is questionable. No one can know for sure about this virus or the vaccine. Most opinions have been formed based on internet hype on both sides.
Each person must seek God for their own decision. Fighting over this matter, accusing, mocking, pressuring others, is not acceptable no matter which side one takes. I am perfectly alright with attempting to influence someone if we are convinced but not rudeness ever. Any arguing or fighting over it is not displaying the fruit of the Spirit, which is love, joy, peace, gentleness, kindness, self-control.
It is also arrogance to think we can know about this virus or the vaccine when all we have is the testimonies of people we don't know and have never met.
Since we have no clear mandate from God about this vaccine, each one is free to decide for themselves.
Since no one can know for sure let's be kind to one another allowing each to seek God on His own.
It's time we set aside our pride, demonstrate faith that God knows what He is doing, trust in Him and stop judging the decisions of others over this matter that God never mandated one way or another in His Word.
No one can find any scripture that handles this matter of diseases and their cures specifically, except to say that there will be pestilences in the last days. There is no clear direction what to do about them, except to trust Christ.
God can tell one person to do one thing and another person to do the opposite for His own purposes and to glorify Him. We need not pressure or demean anyone else over this matter.
Anyone who claims to know exactly what everyone should do is full of pride depending on the internet hype more than they are on God.
Galatians 5:22-23
"22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law."
