    A better way to put that would be, we cannot live forever in our unredeemed bodies. The bodies of the redeemed will be raised and restored to their glory.

    Not I. Since 12 yo my father, mother, sister,uncle, two cousins, grand parents, my child, two friends yada yada have passed on so I have no fear of it. My fear would have to live 39 years trapped in a body that doesn’t work… even then, she was let loose of her agony. So I’m not fearful. In fact, I’d be delighted to be in their company again.

    Ahh, my wife’s friend got the Moderna vaccination on mon. She has had a high fever and a strep throat like sore throat for 5 days now. How do you get symptoms like that from a vaccination?

    Yet another falsehood being spread by disinformation specialists. Can a virus laden droplet or aerosol of the right size and traveling along the right trajectory infect a person wearing a mask, even a N-95 mask? Yes. Thus the mask cannot claim to provide any protection from COVID 19. Does that mean masks do to inhibit the spread of COVID 19? Nope

    And a mask will reduce the virus laden droplets and aerosols expelled through talking, singing, coughing and sneezing put into the air, again providing a reduction to the risk of transmission.

    So this situation with my wife’s friend does justify people’s fear of taxing experimental vaccines... better to distance away from these shots. Now I have the experience of living with my sister who was completely disabled due to a vaccine gone wrong. Therefore there is a genuine reason for rejecting being used as a lab rat vs we have done years of clinical tests and can conclusively tell you blah blah. And forcing it has allot to do with the recipients rejection in the first place. So how does the government address this, well by showing their good will and rescind the inability to take them to court when they mess up... which they will invariably do, a matter of time situation. And that’s what America is supposed to be about, pulling together, helping one another, being the model to the world that we are the leader, the bellwether. Without that, we are just another scummy nation.:X3

    Here once again we have a effort to misrepresent by implication the views of another. This practice, commonplace on this board, reflects disobedience God's command not to bear false witness.

    Well according to the Baptist Board I’ve been reading today, Governor Abbott will be dead within five years due to the vaccine killing him.

    There does not seem to be any appetite for holding responsible the prophets of doom from yesteryear.

    uh no, no one has misrepresented anything. It is common for you to go scorched earth with anyone who dares disagrees with you. You’re like a runaway freight train of emotions. I’m done with you.

    Did you see where my behavior is disparaged, yet the disinformation is still unacknowledged?

    That’s his choice. Knowledge is an interesting thing… so since he doesn’t know for sure, he rolled the dice. Wonder what he is thinking now!

    Happy for him and his family.

    We can learn from what happens to other people, but should always keep them in our prayers.

    We should rejoice with those who recover and emphasize with those who die. There will be people who suffer on both sides of the "vaccine debate".

    We need to remember that these are people, not numbers.

    My wife told me that my favorite radio host (when I listened/ cared about politics) died of covid. I started a thread in memory. His name is Phil Valentine.
