They are really coming for Christians now. This and the CBS piece are the beginnings of the rollout.

they must all be detained for re-education

[icclearly]

This hit piece is a “two-for.” That is they get to demean those of us who will not be vaccinated and Christians in one single article. Don’t you know they love it.

[HypatiaTaught]

It runs deep with this olive skinned agnostic as well!

NEVER taking that B.S. injectable.

[reasonisfaith]

It’s not skepticism about vaccines.

It’s skepticism about WHO’S MAKING THE VACCINES AND WHAT THEY’RE TELLING US IS IN THEM.

[rktman]

Authorized not approved.

[alternatives?]

The article just touches on the issue of the link to abortion. Right next to mark of the beast. That is so typical.

Russell Moore effectively supported Biden which tells me everything I need to know about him. Individual Baptist leaders have sinned and will sin in the future. They are not perfect.

[DesertRhino]

Weird. Spend a few decades constantly, and consistently lying. Lie for fun, profit, power. Lie when the truth would even fit better.

And then one day, people don’t trust you when you say they should do something... Weird.

[stanne]

Skepticism ?

How about the FDA approves it first

They are the frontline of the skeptics

Really people-come on.

[cld51860]

It’s a two-fer for them. Chastise “anti-vaxxers” and Christians with one blow!

[Libertygirlnow]

Yep, this is the trifecta. White, Christian AND skeptical of the lying government? the horror

“The pathway to ending the pandemic runs through the evangelical church,” said Curtis Chang, a former pastor and missionary.

* Uh.... why “former?” *

Rev. Russell Moore, head of the Southern Baptists’ public policy arm expressed hope that SBC pastors would provide “wise counsel” to their congregations if members raise questions about vaccinations.

* Not their job. Their job is to preach the gospel. *

Other evangelical pastors have been hesitant to take a public stance.

* Which is as it should be. *

Aaron Harris, pastor of Calvary Baptist Church in Junction City, Kansas, hasn’t discussed the vaccine from the pulpit or decided whether he’ll be vaccinated. “We don’t believe that this is a scriptural issue; it is a personal issue,” said Harris.

* Exactly.*

We bow to no one. Especially in fear of death. We have overcome it. For me to pive in Christ, to die is gain. On my terms.
Masks and vax= subjugation.

[kiryandil]

“Ape Pee”

[metmom]

With white evangelicals comprising an estimated 20% of the U.S. population, resistance to vaccination by half of them would seriously hamper efforts to achieve herd immunity, Chang contends

What a bunch of BS.

As of herd immunity can only happen through vaccines.

I don’t know if this guy calls himself a Christian or not, but he should not misrepresent the facts like this.

[G Larry]

These clowns try to claim cause and effect, by making these correlations.

While the fact the vaccines used aborted cells in the testing is a faith based issue for me, I have several other reasons for refusing the vaccine, even if that were not the case.

I don't trust the testing.

I don't like the side effects.

I don't have any co-morbidities and don't feel the need for a vaccine.

I have access to therapeutic drugs in which I have greater confidence.

These last 4 reasons have more to do with my education and my perspective on the information available on the subject than they do with my religion.

The media wants you to believe "Evangelicals are dumb and backward" and therefore won't take the vaccine.

Some bigotry is more equal than others....

[EBH]

Between vaccine hit pieces and threats of needing vaccine passports, plus a booster every 6 months? Plus all the language around it like be very apocalyptical ... hesitancy isn’t just a fancy word for ‘saved.’

[reviled downesdad]

It is just another opportunity/angle for the left to attack Christians.

[grey_whiskers]

[Jan_Sobieski]

“These vaccines are cause for evangelicals to celebrate and give thanks to God,” he said via email. “I am confident that pastors and lay members alike want churches full again and vaccines will help all of us get there sooner rather than later.”

Thanks to God for what? Event 201? Having healing medicines withheld? Being lied to about COVID-19 deaths? Our kids Being herded into an experimental vaccine?

These Pastors are hirelings! They are in it for the money, not for the flock. Come out of their churches and start your own home churches

[Jan_Sobieski]

I understand fear. Fear is real. People can make foolish decisions based on fear. God forgives. However, that doesn’t mean there will not be consequences.

What gets me about this COVID thing is trust in Government. For the last 1.5 years, We were just given a front row seat to Government / Medical corruption at all levels and people refuse to see that they are being herded into a trap 🪤

Democide will ALWAYS among the top causes of death
