Mask and Vaxx and the Teachings of Christ
In a previous post, someone responded,
"I wonder, that if by wearing a mask and getting the vaccine to protect others from a potentially fatal virus, we are actually upholding the teachings of Christ to care for others before ourselves?"
It is a good question, and one Christians need to take seriously. I thought I would answer her question in this post to not draw attention to her in particular while, at the same time, addressing the question with questions of my own. Here goes.
You appear to believe in the official narrative. Perhaps you can help me understand a few things. If wearing a mask protects others, why do you have to get the vaccine? If getting the vaccine protects others, why do you have to wear a mask? If doing either protects others from a potentially fatal virus, why require both? If they don't work, why let people go out at all? Wouldn't the "Christ-like" thing to do be total and complete lockdowns? Wouldn't loving others before ourselves mean that we don't go out in public at all? Wouldn't it mean that we don't EVER take our masks off in public? Why do people feel safe taking off their masks while sitting in a restaurant if it's so deadly?
If loving our neighbor upholds Christ's teachings in the face of a potentially fatal virus, then why are we not demanding compliance with the myriad of deadly diseases, even actions people participate in? I mean, isn't driving a car potentially fatal to our neighbor? Why do we allow smoking, which has been scientifically proven to cause cancer and shorten people's lives? Why stop at demanding Christians to uphold the teachings of Christ to care for others before ourselves in regards to a potentially fatal virus? Why not phrase your question like this, "I wonder if by doing "x" and getting "y" to protect others from a potentially fatal "z," we are actually upholding the teachings of Christ to care for others before ourselves? Why are we not practicing "x" and "y" across the board to prevent "z" in all areas of life?
Since the government is involved in mandating masks and vaxs, why not call for complete and total governmental control (totalitarianism) over every area of our lives to prevent not just a potentially fatal virus but anything potentially fatal? Whatever happened to personal responsibility rather than social responsibility? Does loving our neighbor in a Christ-like way now mean that the individual lives for the good of the collective? I would be more than happy if someone would answer each one of these questions!
I think loving my neighbor in a Christ-like fashion is to speak the truth in love. But, unfortunately, those in big government have found a way to implement totalitarian control over our lives. For the first time in history, totalitarianism is not just limited to regimes like Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, or Communist China. Have you seen what's happening in Austria and Australia? How about what's happening to Christians like Pastor Artur Pawlowski in Canada?
Those in big pharma, who, by the way are people who are in big government, have found a way to maximize profit at the expense of the health and well-being of the populace. Have you had your "vaccine"? How about your booster? How about the next booster? How many boosters will you get to uphold the teachings of Christ? How many masks are you going to wear? For how long?
And do you trust those in government and the pharmaceutical industry to tell you the truth? What's the track record on that? I can point to many examples of how the US government and the pharmaceutical industry have lied to the American people to gain more control and make a profit. So why do you think both suddenly become choir boys? Have you read Robert Kennedy's book, The Real Anthony Fauci? Or are you participating in the unchristian behavior of not giving a hearing of an opposing view? As it says in Proverbs 18:17, ESV, "The one who states his case first seems right until the other comes and examines him."
What do you think about vaccines that have been developed, researched, and implemented based upon aborted babies? How is putting a substance into your body that is founded upon "innocent blood" Christian? How is that loving the babies who were sacrificed on the altar of "public health"? How is that different from what the Mayans and Aztecs did in their human sacrifice rituals? How is that Christian?
I know I am coming on strong here. I also know that few who disagree will read through what I wrote, let alone change their minds. But I also know that to be silent in the face of great deception is to hate my neighbor and not obey Christ's command to love him.
