    Close the Churches

    "State and local shutdown orders shouldn’t exempt religious gatherings, and those communities should comply".

    Many small churches will eventually have to let their pastors go or have them find outside work in the event of the antichrist left winning the presidency and finding a way to PERMANENTLY close down Christianity (for our own safety of course).

    Close the Churches

    If you ever wondered how the Antichrist figure could cause all to be marked in order to buy or sell and the world agrees, just look at the insanity of the response to this relatively harmless virus by the government and MSM, how it influences many people.
    All of them are easily deceived, mainly because they are willing to be deluded, as they want to believe in their earthly governments as being for the good.

    Skin for skin, all that a man has he will give for his life, now who said that...

    "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."

    Being complaint with having our rights to liberty and pursuit of happiness (earning a living, attending church, etc.?) taken away in a matter of days, shows we lack the courage of our so-called convictions as stated by our arrogant founding fathers.

    If these unalienable rights where in-fact endowed by the Creator of all men, how can any man-made power (government) take them away?

    I would like to see the Governor of Indiana dictate to the mosques. Why Russell Moore would leave Nashville with a retinue of 100 lawyers and sue until the end of the world. The Muslim Brotherhood in Indianapolis at the Islamic Society of North America would have every jihadists in North America in Indy at the drop of a turban. No, you are talking about shutting down three or groups only: Hassidic Jews, Evangelicals, Fundamentalists, and Traditional Catholics. The other churches already have more than six feet between members when they hold services. Ole Pharaoh just doesn't want any downtime for religious services.

    Exodus 5:1-3 (KJV) And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness. And Pharaoh said, Who [is] the LORD, that I should obey his voice to let Israel go? I know not the LORD, neither will I let Israel go. And they said, The God of the Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the desert, and sacrifice unto the LORD our God; lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.

    But the church is not shut down, only our buildings.

    I'm referring to the framework of reference of the haters of Christ.

    Nevertheless it impacts the Body of Christ because even as we speak gathering together in His name is also under attack.

    of course we know how it all ends...

    Islamic Society of North America is funded by Wahhabis from Saudi Arabia and is the number one organization of the Muslim Brotherhood terrorist group in the USA, acting as an umbrella organization disbursing money to all other Muslim Brotherhood groups in the USA. I think that Indianapolis Congressman Andre Carson is affiliated with ISNA. Gov. Holcombe is unlikely to shut them down. Trump should declare them a terrorist group.

    ROKU has literally hundreds, maybe thousands of churches broadcasting church services and there seem to be quite a few who are thumbing their noses at the government worship gathering restrictions. Seems most are ignored but some church leaders are being fined and/or going to jail.

    Jimmy Swaggart, son and grandson church in Louisiana seems to be one who Is holding services in spite of the "stay at home" edict.

    If the antichrist globalists win the presidency expect to see a bevy of new viral panics each year to keep the church buildings closed and worship groups down to 10 or simply forbidden - for our own safety of course.

    He is at the Door - ?

    Every time a Governor tries this and gets sued they lose in court.

    The Baptist church that family attends here in Michigan is planning to restart next week. Security is always carrying at this church, two on duty at every service. We’ll see.

    Our County Executive* has said we can meet - with conditions. ( max 50% captivity and other somewhat reasonable rules). in spite of the Governor has says. The Governor has put out a report as to what can open - Not sure where churches are on the list. Industries Reopening by Phase



    * A county Ex - would be similar to a Mayor.
