I am a Christian, and am aware of the Ninth Commandment, “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.” However, the commandment addresses gossip, slander,,etc., that would injure a neighbor’s good name and reputation. The Federal and state governments, when acting in an oppressive manner with vaccine mandates or vaccine passports to enter restaurants and groceries, is not a neighbor but an oppressor. A Christian is under no obligation to obey, any more than he is to the oppressive decrees of a Communist or fascist regime.

During the massive anti Christian pogrom’s of emperor Decius, everybody was ordered to sacrifice to idols under penalty of death.
Some Christians refused and got executed.
Some sacrificed.
Some just ran away, hide, lied, send a slave or neighbor to sacrifice, etc. Church was preserved by those.
When the persecution eased, Church disciplined those who have sacrificed, but all others were recognized as legit ways of survival.
I would take an example of those brave Christians.
Do not sacrifice, but everything else is OK.
