Lockdown is Nonsense at this point

[AustinC]

Yes. 200,000 human beings added to the death toll in 8 weeks is mind numbing.

I am amazed so many who pay attention to far less deaths in human actions like the events of 9/11 or natural disasters like tornadoes find the deaths worthy of ignoring in our present situation.

We have become a very callous culture.

More people died in one bombing raid in World War ll. Now that was a tragedy because humans openly killed each other.
With COVID19, God has sent it to bring us to repentance so that we might have eternal life. It is an act of goodness that God would so kindly warn us to get our house in order.
Yet, so many are cowering in fear and panicking with no thought of repentance. The great sorrow here is not the deaths, but instead it is the abject refusal to repent or even bring it up as a society.
God has given us his warning. He may not be so kind next time.

When the Bible tells me God sent a punishment upon a people, I’ll believe it,

When you presume why something occurred and attribute a tragedy to God, I’m not so convinced...

...and I am quite concerned when you call it a “goodness”.​

I do not understand your point. Do you think the bombing deaths were inconsequential?

It is refreshing to read something like this. Posting on this forum is sometimes like entering an alternative reality.

That's what I thought the other day when I was shopping and everyone was wearing surgical masks. I thought I was in an episode of the Twilight Zone.

In 4 months, 200,000 is already more than the number of people who died on the planet in the entire year of 2017 from war, alcohol, drugs or childbirth.

Does that include the 50+ million abortions of the soon-to-be-born?

I would be careful of making such statements - Pat Robertson has done that way too much........

Why are some so much in a hurry to serve money? And why so many adds between post?

This is the end folks. Christ is coming tomorrow attitude is over. Christ returning today has begun. We are in Revelations 6. The church should be ready to leave in 2 more seals. Instead of fighting over science, we should be making straight paths for our families. God sent us all safe in our homes to do just that. Read Revelation and see the map God has prepared.

It's not ignoring the deaths thought. That's not happening at all. But we shouldn't totally stop life because people die. People die every day.

I say lift all this nonsense - if you dont want to be around others - then stay 10 feet away -- or dont go out at all. buy yourself a gas mask - - but leave the rest of us alone

Like I said, I saw a sign that said "Democrats I thought you were Pro-Choice, you know, my body my choice?"

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

If you remember your Bible, God announces what will happen ahead of time through his prophet(s). That way, when it does happen, everyone will know God did it.

I don’t remember you or anyone else here telling us that God would create a disease in China which would travel the world killing mostly old sick people back in November.

As a result, either God did not do this or he did not want to be known for doing this.

Or God did not reveal it to any prophetically, because most alive today are either false prophets or just guessing. I think those guessing and speculating are in a better relationship with God than a false prophet is.

You provide a perfect example of a person who thinks God is distant from his creation and not at all active within it.
The Bible, however, shows us the God who is holding his creation in His hand and is actively involved.

Do you imagine God is taken by surprise at this virus, that He had no clue it was around or that it would spread across the earth?

I believe that God has His fingerprint all over His Creation.

You provide yet another example of a strawman. What a marvelous talent you have!

And there's another one! Awesome!

God can always write it on the wall.

So, you're the judge of men? A false prophet makes claims about events in the past. A true prophet tells what God plans to do in the future.

No.

I am not a prophet, so that is settled. The Holy Spirit is the judge.

Go bring it to the wizard, scarecrow. You see strawmen all around you.
At this point every one is saying, like Inigo, "You keep using that word, Vizzini. I do not think you know what that word means."

Sometimes and at times they make clams about the future!
