De Blasio threatens to permanently close places of worship that resist shutdown order
NewsThud ^ | March 30, 2020 | Paul Goldberg

“A small number of religious communities, specific churches and specific synagogues, are unfortunately not paying attention to this guidance even though it’s so widespread,” the New York Democrat said Friday at his daily press briefing.

“I want to say to all those who are preparing for the potential of religious services this weekend: If you go to your synagogue, if you go to your church and attempt to hold services after having been told so often not to, our enforcement agents will have no choice but to shut down those services,” he added.

liberals try to get around that by claiming their is no constitutional protection for gatherings in a place of worship believe it or not-
outlawing religious gatherings undoubtedly violates their "free exercise". he's counting on this having to work it's way through the glacial court system. an unconstitutional practice is still an enforced practice right up until it's declared illegal.

If Ceasar says it is illegal to gather and preach the name of Jesus and shuts down all churches- We gather and preach the name of Jesus

There is a fine line, and it’s not always clear when the line has been crossed-

In China- it’s illegal for people to gather in homes and teach Christianity- but they do so anyways- because God’s laws are higher than any government’s laws that violate His laws-

The last I knew then Churches did not need licenses to operate. So I don’t see how he can shut them down permanently under the constitution. Technically I don’t see how any normally lawful “Assembly” can be forced to shut down under the constitution. Not even for an emergency. I don’t believe there is any such exclusion in the constitution to the right to assemble. And the founders would not have wanted one to exist because that causes the citizens to loose the ability to defend their freedom and their constitution.

While I understand the sentiment to contain this virus it is just frightening how a virus can put the citizens in a position to be completely defenseless to the powers that be. A foreign army could not hope to be so successful at getting the people to just lay down.

DiBlahsio cannot stop Churches streaming live.

The larger churches do this already for those who are homebound.

An aside: A few churches in my area have ‘drive-in’ services; sit in your vehicle and tune in via FM.

If I didn’t know better, I’d swear that Mayor de BlahBlahBlah wants NYC to be ground zero for a possible CW2! The overreaction by the LSM and the bureaucrats nationwide are certainly throwing gas on the burning embers.

It's just about like living in the Soviet Union in the 1930's...

A dream come true for the CPUSA and it's subsidiaries like the demoncrat party...

Khrushchev must be rolling over in the grave laughing...

"We Will Bury You!"
- Nikita Khrushchev, 1956

And few years later....

"Your children's children will live under communism. You Americans are so gullible.
No, you won't accept communism outright; but we'll keep feeding you small doses of Socialism until you will finally wake up and find that you already have communism.
We won't have to fight you; We'll so weaken your economy, until you fall like overrripe fruit into our hands!"

- Nikita Khrushchev, 1959

Khrushchev is reported to have continued to state several variations of this many times...

The U.S. watched, and prepared for, the nuclear weapons threat carefully...
Almost no one listened to, and prepared for, what he was saying...

So, who’s the tyrant here? Deblobio is a communist and he hates churches. But he needs muzzy votes, so you can bet your prayer rug he will never close mosques.

...if he closes them down the Jihadists who attend might blow themselves up in anger.

Submission to Civil Authorities (1 Peter 2:13-17)

13 Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether to a king as the one in authority, 14 or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those who do right.

15 For such is the will of God that by doing right you may silence the ignorance of foolish men.

16 [Act] as free men, and do not use your freedom as a covering for evil, but [use it] as bondslaves of God. 17 Honor all men; love the brotherhood, fear God, honor the king.

“A google search suggests mosques remain open.”

Hard to see a problem with that policy.

Supernatural intervention....as in the Ultimate Righteous Judgement of Almighty G-d. Done not by any man, but by His hand.
Take a look at Acts 5:1-10 and 12:23 to see what can happen.
