Can you provide evidence of such statements?That is not what we were told. We were told the vaccines would prevent systematic infection and transmission. Now they bringing the goal posts way back.
I did pray about getting the vaccine. While I do believe the work of the Spirit is to guide us and comfort us, I do not mind you believing God directed me to be vaccinated.
But what does that say as a whole? God tells some to get vaccinated and others that the vaccine is wrong. Is this not God being inconsistent?
Not arguing - just asking for an explanation. If Hod says the vacvine is good and the vacvine is bad....
Are you saying God leads those the vacvine will help to get vaccinated and those the vacvine will harm to refrain? If so....I may actually agree with you (I would perhaps not be comfortable skipping the shot because God comforted me in the decision to be vaccinated- perhaps it is the reverse for others).
BUT then wouldn't this make the pro-vaxers and anti-vaxers (who advocate one choice for the whole) anti-christs?
My word, how, exactly, am I am a hypocrite?'this is indeed sin"
That statement you just said exposes your own hypocritical can of worms, as you have claimed your right and true about what you affirm, and all your doing by your own admission is going along with what experts and the media say. But you cant know that your right and the other side wrong. Just making such an assertion shows the hypocrisy, cause what if your wrong...
You must not listen to Faucci and Biden.Can you provide evidence of such statements?
But let's say you are right - we were told the vaccines would prevent systematic infection and transmission. So what? The good news is that they do provide protection against serious illness and death.
First, your site is highly questionable. From mediabiasfactcheck:
Praying about the vaccine? Well, ok, but do you really need to pray?
Again, if you are immersed in a conspiracy-theory mindset, you can justify dismissing any recommendation from experts - perhaps they are all involved in some sort of sinister plot to lead you astray:Andre sez: "The science and the experts are clearly one side."
Pretty much agree, but the "ONE SIDE" IMHO seems to be political and/or CYA, not just facts - but who can even trust this anymore?
One issue is the anti-vaxers fo not rely on experts to arrive at a position. They find "experts" who agree with their position.Again, if you are immersed in a conspiracy-theory mindset, you can justify dismissing any recommendation from experts - perhaps they are all involved in some sort of sinister plot to lead you astray:
Perhaps smoking is good for you.
Perhaps cheeseburger high blood pressure is a good thing.
Perhaps the moon landings were fake
Perhaps in a nation with a long history of open and fair elections, Joe Biden stole the Presidency.
It never ends with this mindset - one has essentially carte blanche to dismiss any fact that does not align with one's worldview.
Most scientists do not believe in God. Be careful following the advice of fools.One issue is the anti-vaxers fo not rely on experts to arrive at a position. They find "experts" who agree with their position.
It is like looking to Scrioture to support your belief rather than deriving your belief from Scripture.
If you are correct, then I would fit into the category that will benefit from the vacvine based on the oease and comfort God provided about the issue and about the vaccine.Thank you!!!
My point exactly - we are INDIVIDUALS, not a herd of cattle.
Perhaps the vax will give you (generic "you") a bad case of Bells Palsy, or ---, but to me it will keep me from getting the bug.
Sans the guidance of Divinity, how do you know which category you fit?
Worldly wisdom says "Look at the data, talk to your Dr., and throw the dice." (and with all the politics involved, best of luck with that.)
Godly wisdom says "As God for guidance & follow His leading" regardless of the hype, either pro or con, from the "experts"!
"BUT then wouldn't this make the pro-vaxers and anti-vaxers (who advocate one choice for the whole) anti-christs?"
Don't think so. Just some narrow thinking that, like the dems, will not/can not think past 10 minutes in the future, OR that everybody is not like "them"!
I have not taken the advice of most scientists.Most scientists do not believe in God. Be careful following the advice of fools.
You met the doctors you relying on for info?I have not taken the advice of most scientists.
What I am saying is many here are offering advise from doctors they have never encountered except when looking for support of their position.
I would say it is indeed my business. Not to scold anyone, but to warn them of the risks involved with taking the jab. Anyone with eyes to see knows this is the first step of the Great Reset. Please look at the situation in Australia and New Zealand. It is all about a power grab by the elites. It is totalitarianism coming down the street. Freedoms are being stripped away. It hasn't manifested itself as fully in the States yet (Ca and NY are ahead of the game) as it is in Australia and New Zealand, but it will be in our country soon unless...People need to refrain from persuading people either way. It is not their business.

CDC is a bunch of Doctors you probably have not met.
