I expected the “what would Jesus do?” crowd to weigh in on the subject of masks (or vaccines). I did a search and the results and comments by some of the self-identified Christians is fairly nauseating. One might expect the pastors to lead the charge, and by God’s grace some have stepped up. But as we know, the media-controllers have turned down the volume on their platforms as much as possible. Here on main street, it’s a mixed bag, with some spiritual leaders asserting that mask-wearing is the “loving” thing to do and others calling out tyrannical government for egregious over-reach. Just another issue to divide the church, one might think.
But at least one courageous voice has stated the issue with clarity. Here’s a salient point:
Wearing a mask communicates that I accept the premise that everyone should wear a mask, even if vaccinated, even if possessing natural antibodies, even if a child to whom the flu is more dangerous, even if an adult who believes living with risk is part of human life and that attempting to eliminate risk is more dangerous than accepting it. It communicates that the entire world should look like a hospital, a fearful and sad place where people are desperately sick, even if they don’t know it.
It communicates that I believe harassing the living hell out of Americans is a justified response to a disease with a 99.5 percent survival rate or better for those younger than 65. It communicates that it is reasonable to worship health as an idol, and to control citizens with fear. Well, I simply don’t believe any of that, and I’m not going to be forced to communicate that I do. (emphasis added)
Joy Pullman, The Federalist
While I’m not at all persuaded that everyone gets the same “message” when they see others wearing masks, I think it’s safe to say that wearing a mask communicates the message that the mask-wearer agrees with the current “pandemic narrative.” If you DON’T agree with the current narrative but you wear a mask, do you lack courage? If you are saying with your actions something you believe is untrue, are you lying?
As Ms. Pullmann points out, there is an IDOLATRY issue here. What others point out is that there is also a sorcery/pharmakaia issue here. What would Jesus do? I would hope that for every true Christian, it’s a no-brainer. For the rest; for those who may prefer to avoid conflict and cower … well, cowards don’t do well in the end.
There is a verse in Revelation that ties it all together: cowardice, lying, idolatry and sorcery:
But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
Rev. 21:8 NKJV
Wow! The Lord bundles them all up with the abominable, unbelievers, murderers and sexually immoral people, and throws them all into the Lake of Fire.
Don’t misunderstand – I am NOT saying that if you wear a mask you will go to hell. It’s not a salvation issue. If you have a family to feed and your employer requires a mask at work, you may not have much of an option (though I would certainly hope you made it crystal clear to your boss how you feel about it). NOW is the time (or maybe it’s past time) for you to decide when it’s time to push back, and how to push back effectively – not for your sake but for Christ’s. After all, we know where this is going. The Great Reset is almost here. What are you, as a Christian, going to do about it?
My apologies for not posting this sooner. Of course, if it’s as late in the game as we think, it may not matter.
