I am going to respectfully disagree with this statement.
I personally am not at the mercy of this virus, or any virus for that matter. I am at the mercy of God and healed by his Son.
In my own opinion, someone with the virus may say the name Jesus in prayer with a hope of getting better. But I tell you, without genuine belief or faith that he arose from his grave trampling on death to fulfill Gods command, it’s just another name.
Jesus life up to his crucifixion was well documented by multiple nations. Believing he was on earth is not faith. That’s having historical knowledge. Faith or belief is that he defeated death. This is where many human beings will be at a crossroad.
For me personally, I was at that crossroad at 15 years old. But that’s me. I will never force my belief on anyone. Arguing, that my way is the right way, and yours is wrong, is irresponsible. We must respect one another.
It’s a human being’s own responsibility to maintain their health. If one believes that there are irresponsible human beings out in the community, it’s your own responsibility to protect yourself. Avoid all circumstances to the best of your own ability that may have a negative impact on ones health.
If the police say, “don’t go into that neighborhood, there is a high homicide rate”! Are you going to go in and negotiate with the murderers not to kill you? Any sensible person is going to avoid the danger. However, just because the police made the suggestion doesn’t mean you have to follow it. It’s ones own choice to make that decision.
I believe instead of arguing our beliefs back and fourth, we should be respecting each other’s beliefs. Together we should compile a solution that best fits our individual needs. Working together will always be a stronger force. Division will only make things worse.
Humans are NOT perfect. We have flaws. We should not beat up on one another! No one on this thread is perfect.
This is just my opinion.
