California Governor Newsom Bans ALL In-Home Bible Fellowship, Church Services, Meetings, Singing, and Church Gatherings
browns journal ^ | 7/16/2020 | Brown

Posted on 07/18/2020 1:09:48 PM PDT by Roman_War_Criminal

As of July 13th, 2020 ALL indoor Church services have been banned in at least 30 counties, even in-home Bible studies, and fellowship. In other counties, fellowship may be limited to 25% capacity or 100 people, whichever is less. Also, singing, chanting, praise, and worship have been banned. However, the exact same order also allows protests.

Under Governor Newsom’s latest directive, residents of California can engage in protests and riots, but cannot house a Bible Study with a friend or neighbor.

Liberty Counsel will be filing suit against Gov. Newsom on behalf of Pastor Samuel Rodriguez, who is president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference (NHCLC). The NHCLC represents 42,000 churches nationwide. Sam is also the senior pastor of churches in Sacramento and Los Angeles. The suit will also include many other churches in California.

On July 13th, 2020 California Governor rolled back the phased reopening as the number of Coronavirus cases rose; Most counties, including Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Orange, and Riverside, will be forced to shutter gyms, houses of worship, hair salons, malls and other businesses under the new order, which is effective immediately and remains in effect indefinitely. Also, offices with nonessential workers in those counties must close.

Any democrat who tolerates this is evil. Singling out religious gatherings makes their intent clear, and it’s not about public health.

There’s an old quote about America being at that awkward stage . . .

Defeat it now or this will come here. It is already happening here in a number of ways.

“China orders Christians to take down crosses, images of Jesus; worship communist leaders not God”

“All impoverished households in the town were told to display Mao Zedong images,” a local pastor told Bitter Winter. “The government is trying to eliminate our belief and wants to become God instead of Jesus.”

“from observing ‘protests’ - dancing, singing, meditating, praying, chanting and extended moments of silence, are all allowed. So, take the congregation, march to the nearest public square, sit down, and pray, dance and sing. Under protest ‘rules’ you’re not a church if you’re not in a building, and you’re not ‘congregating’ if you’re just assembling with no leader. If anyone asks who the leader or pastor is, say you don’t know, everybody just showed up.”

Make signs similar to the ones used by the protesters. Go to a park and sit people 6’ apart. Do the church service anyways.

“He still has a remnant preaching the gospel that are obedient to Him and His word.”

We’ve been married 25 years, and have lived in several states, including Tennessee. The two most fundamental, Gospel-preaching ministers we’ve had were in California churches. I need to check on them and see how they’re doing.

Good one!

Not that I think Newsom wouldn’t do it if he could get away with it, but I’ve not seen this anywhere else and I’ve never heard of this source before.”

Roman War Criminal,

I have the same question as M. Thatcher.

Where is a second source on this?

Newscum is too stupid to think up all this stuff. His health organization is telling him...and so he regurgitates all of it.

Newsom consulted Xi on how to close churches.

“Mosques are exempt right?”

Are you assuming that Newscum even knows what a mosque is? I wouldn't bet on it.

Thank you.

Okay, nothing this thread says is in the actual source document. California lists "places of worship" along with other things like gyms, hair salons, etc. but says nothing about "banning ALL in-home Bible fellowship" or singing anything else on this list.

Sorry, but this doesn't appear to be true.

Not to say Newsom won't try it, but it isn't in the order.

Exactly. What’s the fastest way to get Californians to go to Bible study? Outlaw it!

But his aunt Nancy-or whatever relation she is-prays all the time. She must call him and get him straight because she is such a devout Catholic. Sick bunch. No way they can regulate this.
