My view is that requires our physical assembly in worship. I can support this from scripture. I can also support from scripture that folks who are ill or injured can lawfully stay home and are not winning. I don’t oppose livestream or other workarounds for those in that situation.

Otherwise we need to assemble, and not virtually, imo. Keeping six feet or working out bathroom situations is fine these are all doable.

When there’s a will there’s a way. I find the lack of will horrifying.

Good grief. GOD requires our physical assembly. And they aren’t SINNING if actually ill or in prison etc.

Well I think so too...but “In God we live and move and have our Being...” If that be the case then all of us are in spiritual contact everywhere, even if the physical can’t always happen. Indeed the brethren are to be encouraged to gather together...physically if possible...if not..God will cover for us!(And will allow us, like David to eat of the “shewbread” if there was nothing else)

I think you have church in defiance of the government or don’t have church if yours was to be the prevailing view. The bathroom thing was one such issue that freedom’s enemies would enjoy snickering over as we turned ourselves into pretzels trying to deal with it while worshipping in our minivans and cars....”oooh mommie Billie’s poo stinks”.

A family worshipping together in Christ’s name(as he promised that he would be with them) with others so connected via the internet with their pastors is not chopped liver. The test of what the Governors’ intentions towards worshippers would be if they tried to institute controls of content and bandwidth and times of usage...if that happens the reactions of patriots needs to be swift. The governors can try to arrest and bluster but theirs is a mighty weak hand with nominal military guard strength to back them up even if Trump allows it.
