From the start, the pandemic has been responsible for spreading not only a virus, but polarization. Beyond the immense toll that COVID-19 has taken and continues to take on health and human life, the unnecessary social division that has accompanied the pandemic is a tragedy unto itself.
We are dismayed by the notable degree of skepticism and denialism about COVID-19. As Christians belonging to different theological traditions, we are especially discouraged that many of our fellow believers have adopted these attitudes.
Moreover, as followers of Christ working for non-sectarian organizations — a public university and a legal charity, respectively — we wish to set the record straight for the benefit of our non-Christian peers. Our message is simple: there is nothing inherently Christian about opposing the COVID-19 vaccines.
The Catholic Church , for its part, says there is no moral or ethical impediment to taking the vaccines, whether related to abortion or any other bioethical concern. Catholics in Canada have been invited by their bishops to be vaccinated since the start of the rollout. Leading Protestant ethicists have reached the same conclusion on the morality of the vaccines.
If the COVID-19 vaccines are ethically permissible, why do some Christians refuse to get inoculated? The leading reasons are well-known, and they are no different than those cited by non-Christians.
Some people have never accepted the gravity of the pandemic, or even its reality. So it’s no surprise that they would reject a vaccine that is, in their view, a solution in search of a problem.
Others doubt the safety of the COVID-19 vaccines. Among Christians who harbour these doubts, many fear the vaccines impair fertility. Despite the absence of credible evidence to substantiate this fear, it has acquired a firm grip on many individuals.

Guess you never heard of pneumonia which is a bad cold which is also caused by coronavirus.
As I just posted Coronavirus is a cold, rhinovirus is the flu.
Covid 19 is nothing more than a bad cold for some and the some being “very few”.
Pretty much agree. I probably would have said,:
Forcing medical experimentation on unwilling recipients is Satanic, not Christian.
But the difference is neglible.
God bless you. Keep looking up.

It's not medical experimentation because they're intentionally not recording test results and even outright burying the results. That leaves the only other explanation: torture.
Questioning the faith of another is a regular tactic by leftists. Against the alphabet agenda? Then you can’t be a real Christian because God is love. Against man-boy love? See number 1. Against open borders, everyone having the same things, free stuff, etc.? See number 1.

So now we have learned that Covid is a horrible, terrible plague that is destroying countless lives. Also, we have learned from these two profoundly Christian leaders, that the vaccination is God’s gift to His people as the end to the terrible pandemic. Based on these two deep truths and nothing else we must accept the vaccination as the fullest expression of Christ’s love.
They have made it so clear and irrefutable. Now we only need reject every other voice out of hand, for these great saints have spoken the oracle of God.
Could be, and/or subduing sheep for something even bigger.

I promised Nully 50 sheep but in a hurry at the moment.
“Bible teaches against self harm. I have medical conditions that make getting the current set of vaccines very dangerous for me ...”
Me too, I’m healthy.
Second of all, Jesus told us that He would come back to judge the world "As it was in the days of Noah and as it was ion the days of Lot." Most understand that we are at the days of Lot right now as Sodomy is widely accepted as it was in Sodom and Gomorrah. But what people haven't fully understood is what was going on in the days of Noah.
Gen 6:1 tells us that there were fallen angels that mated with earth women. The fruit of this union was called Nephilim. Nephilim had 6 toes and 6 fingers and 2 rows of teeth and ate human flesh. Their size was remarkably taller than normal men. The angel DNA was mixed with human DNA to corrupt what God had made to make something God didn't authorize.
A war was started back in Gen 3 between the seed of the woman and the seed of the Serpent. Immediately after it was revealed that there were Nephilim in the earth, Noah is introduced and told the whole earth would be destroyed by Flood. Scripture tells us "All flesh was corrupted except Noah.
Noah's 3 sons most likely married flesh from nearby villages. Ham also received a "curse" from Noah by way of His grandson Canaan.After the Flood Noah and family repopulated the earth.
Gen 10:6 The sons of Ham were Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.
Gen 10:8 Cush begot Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one on the earth.
Gen 10:9 He was a mighty hunter before the Lord; therefore it is said, "Like Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord."
Nimrod was the first Nephilim after the Flood according to the Septuagint. Many descendants of Nimrod settled in Canaan land. While the Hebrews were enslaved for 430 years in Egypt, the Nephilim grew and expanded in Canaan. When Israel was released from Egypt and headed for the Promised Land, they would be the ones to kill the Nephilim for God. King Saul was supposed to kill Giants and all they owned, but refused to do it. King David was crowned king and killed the sons of Anack including Goliath.
This was just a primer on Giants to show how much God hates genetic mutations. He killed them all in the Flood and then it popped up again with Nimrod and God released the Jews to go clear them out of the Promised Land. As we experiment with cloning and now editing DNA in a CRISPER and place stem cells of aborted fetuses in our bodies, we find more complicated and more numerous maladies to fight. We have NO IDEA what will come from this vaccine (it not really a vaccine), in the future. When vaccines were grown in chicken eggs, we didn't have all these maladies that are advertised all day on TV. Why did the doctors try to hide the involvement of aborted fetuses in making this vaccine?
When God created us He proclaimed that it was "Good!" There are verses that deal with things like "strange flesh" in the Last Days. Another strange verse in in Daniel.
Dan 2:43 As you saw iron mixed with ceramic clay, they will mingle with the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay.
Ceramic clay is human, as we were made from clay in Genesis. But what are we mingled with that won't mix? It's something the Bible calls "other". According to God, it's not human, at least not as He calls human. When humans are routinely mixed with mice, pigs, sheep, and dead babies that have been cloned millions of times, God doesn't look at us as human as we were created. It's a shame more Bible teachers don't teach something this important. The spies that went into the Promised Land of course described the inhabitants ads very tall, but many miss the verbiage that said they devoured the inhabitants of the land. They were cannibals. Og was the king of the giants.
Amos 2:9 "Yet it was I who destroyed the Amorite before them, Whose height was like the height of the cedars, And he was as strong as the oaks; Yet I destroyed his fruit above And his roots beneath.
There are literally a hundred mentions of giants and what they did to make God mad. Tattoo's are from the Rephaim who worshiped the dead. When you read about the Canaanites, Jebusites, Hitites, and all the other "ites", keep in mind they were all run by Giants. At some point we will all again be corrupted in the flesh as it was in the days of Noah. Many might say "even so come Lord", but you could be unrecognizable by Jesus and He could say I don't know you.
You might believe differently than I do, but in America, I have the right to believe what I believe. Why would I volunteer to corrupt my own body by taking a foreign substance into my body that will change my DNA? This is a definition of mRNA......Cellular organisms use messenger RNA (mRNA) to convey genetic information that directs synthesis of specific proteins. Many viruses encode their genetic information using an RNA genome. mRNA is used to change DNA information. I don't want it. Could mRNA mutate Corona 19 into 15 new strains that we don't even have a vaccine for? Corona 19 is deadly for less than 1%. What happens when it mutates to something that kills 15% or even 50%? We are playing with atomic weapons of the body and trusting people that don't believe in God to make decisions for us and our children like Fauci and Biden.
No thanks.
Some people are never accepting of the gravity? I am 73. I’ve had the alpha version wu=ith 3 days of illness. I had the delta version in August. It was 3 weeks long, but I survived w/o hospitalization. Some of us have the the temerity to doubt the efficacy of the vaccine and as an RN, reading the insert in the vaccine battle box found this: “This page left intentionally blank”!
If you want to put your life into the hands of companies, both the vaccine companies and the employers who are unwittingly forced into compliance...well, my friend, go ahead! But my reaction to the vaccine would be certain death. I am not stupid. I now have natural immunity to 2 versions of this “virus”. It has NOTHING to do with religious beliefs, if you exclude the fact that people are being lied to about it and deception is of the devil...not Christ.
Put your head in the sand and ignore the millions of adverse reactions if you want to, but as a health care professional, I’ll keep my natural immunity and I’ll trust my life with God’s timing.
Thanks for shaming us...trying to make us feel we are failing to do our part. At the present I am grieving over the fact that my grandchildren are being forced into taking these vaccines when the rate of death from the virus is less than 1%.
But then, I guess you are being encouraged by the CDC or OSHA to shame us or you’re not paying attention to the millions who are suffering from the vaccine. I STILL have some symptoms that have never returned to normal from the disease bc I have a neurological disorder. Several neurological symptoms since childhood, in fact. Why don’t you seek out the vaccine injured and try to help pr at least offer encouragement and a prayer to them? Otherwise, you have nothing to say!
You do realize a virus literary rapes a cell and takes over DNA using it to replicate itself a bunch of times then the cell dies ( hopefully and doesn’t mutate )
Fixed it
Refusing the vaccine is inherently Christian.
A shot that destroys DNA and its ability to self-repair is the antithesis of creation by God.
Can we just stop calling these jabs vaccines? Vaccines prevent illness, these jabs don’t prevent illness, because they’re not vaccines.
Despite the absence of credible evidence to substantiate this fear, it has acquired a firm grip on many individuals
They never tested the not-a-vax to a degree that would allow them to say it is safe. That hasn’t stopped them from saying it has been “rigorously tested and is safe” which is another reason people with functioning brains want to steer clear.
Bkmk
My DNA/RNA is going to stay the same.
The fallen angels/Watchers changed things for the worse and the modern day version of them (scientists changing humans or combining humans and animals) are just as bad.
See reply 79. Good to see someone else with understanding.
