I told a friend of mine that I do not believe this virus is any different from previous flu viruses. She told me as a Christian I should not be spreading fake news. I do not see this as spreading fake news because I gave my personal opinion, but I would like to what you think?

People are entitled to opinions. They are not entitled to their own facts. We do need to be careful what we accept and what we do not. Where I live, 800 people died from COVID before the government woke up to the problem. That's way more than in a normal flu season. The death toll from COVID has dropped to effectively zero. Because the restrictions also affect flu virus transmission, there have been far fewer case of flu also.

The main difference seems to be how easily COVID is transmitted. Yes, most people have mild symptoms and recover. Some people take months to recover. People over 70 are the main group likely to die.

So no, I would not say that you are spreading fake news. I do believe that opinions are greatly overrated. That's my opinion.......... yeah.

We all need to take responsibility for what we say - we will give an account to God - and do what we can to speak truth in love. If we don't know, it's best to be quiet.

Hello @Joey1964, while I do not agree with you about the scope and effect of the COVID-19 virus (in comparison to the seasonal flu), your opinion is your own, and if you are sharing it as such, it should not be considered wrong for you to do so. That said (because you are a Christian), you shouldn't say something that you know or believe to be a lie, or say something that you believe may be harmful to someone else. However, this is not the case in this case, is it :unsure:

Here's a useful verse to keep in mind. If you obey it, it is hard to believe that what you say could ever end up being sinful and/or a problem for others (or for yourself).

Ephesians 4
29 Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, that it may give grace to those who hear.

God bless you!

Your personal opinion was right on the money. Laboratories in 7 universities took 1,500 samples from infected individuals to isolate the virus. Well guess what? The majority of viruses were Influenza A, and a minority were Influenza B. No one has actually isolated a corona virus using standard and accepted isolation procedures in a laboratory. Genetic fragments are not the same as a virus. See below from several medical doctors:

That again is based up what governments have been FRAUDULENTLY reporting. The PCR test has been exposed to be grossly misleading, since it was deliberately abused to increase the numbers and create fear and panic. The PCR test was never designed for the purpose of confirming whether one was testing positive or negative for COVID. But everyone was using a Ct (cycle threshold) value of 35-40, which would invariably produced false positives. The correct Ct value should have been 24 or 25 max, which would have shown that hardly anyone was actually testing positive.

To add insult to injury, the medical establishments in all countries decided to change the medical meaning of "cases". A genuine case is a person who has not only been infected, but is showing all the symptoms of infection, and is therefore under treatment. But what was being reported daily as cases was people who had falsely tested positive under the PCR protocol which was bogus.

To make matters even worse -- deliberately -- the medical establishment in every country put a ban on the use of ivermectin, HCQ, the HCQ combo pack, zinc, azithromycin, and vitamin D3, when all these were extremely effective in combating the virus. This again helped to increase the death rates, but in fact it was medical fraud and mass murder.

Now these are not opinions but FACTS. And you can check them out for yourself.

Only the Moderators can do that. It's not a big deal; I was really only poking fun. There are many threads in this forum that aren't "Bible Discussion" topics, so yours is certainly not the first. :)

I believe the coronavirus is a planned situation.

And that is it is because it is time to move all people from the rural areas in to the cities to be concentrated and tracked by 5G or whatever it is at that time.

United Nations Agenda 21, 179 nations agreed to it in 1992, sustainability act.

Part of Agenda 21 is a balance between nature and people, and communities work together to help prevent crime in the cities as they watch their neighbor, and watch the street, and the streets with surveillance 24/7.

They like that BLM is crying out to defund the police which they are pushing for communities to work together to prevent crime.

The vaccine has nanotechnology, or they will give the nanotechnology later when this vaccine does not work out, but someway they want to get the nanotechnology in them before the people are all in the city.

They do not want to get them all in the city and then try to get nanotechnology in them with an excuse to do so, but they want the nanotechnology in them before they are all in the cities.

The coronavirus is an excuse to get that nanotechnology in them for without an excuse such as that they would not be able to do it for the people would resist too much.

That is what the coronavirus is about getting nanotechnology in the people because they want all people in the cities like a sophisticated concentration camp.

Also they want to use the coronavirus to collapse the economy and cause small businesses to go out of business, which they only want big companies to thrive.

Probably they want a one world store which will probably be Walmart which China bought out Walmart in 2015.

When the New Age Christ starts operating in the world as a man of peace, and pushing the agenda of the new age movement, the people will be in the cities being tracked for three and one half years.

This will condition them for the mark of the beast a better tracking system for they are being tracked anyway which will be by satellite, and the New Age Christ will condition them to accept him when he claims to be God as he pushes the new age movement in the world.

Rev 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

chi xi stigma
khee xee stig'-ma
The 22nd, 14th and an obsolete letter (G4742 as a cross) of the Greek alphabet (intermediate between the 5th and 6th), used as numbers; denoting respectively 600, 60 and 6; 666 as a numeral: - six hundred threescore and six.

stigma
stig'-mah
From a primary word στίζω stizō (to “stick”, that is, prick); a mark incised or punched (for recognition of ownership), that is, (figuratively) scar of service: - mark.

The mark of the beast is something stuck under the skin of the right hand or forehead.

America is sending out doses of the vaccination to the world and will continue to do so to help to vaccinate the world and get the nanotechnology in them as they are going to move all their people in to the cities because they are enforcing Agenda 21 sustainability act.

Also the stimulus checks is probably a pattern for basic income as many jobs will be gone, and America will probably print out money like monopoly money, and like water, and help the world will their needs which will be a big motivator to get the people together for a global government which is sustainability for people.

The global government will probably have to start out good and people having their needs met for it has to start out good for the people to support it, and probably be a balance between socialism, and democracy, but when the New Age Christ works in the world it will become more strict and less beneficial for the people as the New Age Christ works towards getting rid of people.

Alice Bailey the biggest prophet of the new age movement wrote a book called consciousness of the atom in which the universe has consciousness.

Some scientists believe the universe has a conscious and it will become more popular.

The new age movement does not believe in a personal God, but honor the God of forces, or the power of nature, the evolutionary process, which they believe they are still evolving to be greater and spiritual.

That is how they interpret the Bible and all religions.

Because they believe the universe has a conscious they believe they have to get rid of all people who cannot accept the new age movement for they are upsetting the balance and nature of the planet.

You are entitled. However, we all know this virus is different from the flu virus's per the docs. Otherwise we would not have had to develop a different vaccine...would we?

Like the flu, I imagine people will be taking covid-19 vaccines, round after round, year after year, for a long time if we make it. Unlike the flu, they haven't strived with the same intensity to encourage and incentivize the vaccine on top of making it mandatory. When the corrupt world tells us what's best for us it's a cause for intense skepticism, in my opinion.

If Christians only understood just how much 'fake news' they spread simply because they believe everything they hear on TV.

If a Christian wants to make sure they do not spread any 'fake news' - the very first thing they must do is to never repeat anything they hear through the Main Stream Media unless-and-until they research it sufficiently well enough to determine its validity.

"Just sayin'..."

You are correct, you're friend is not. You're giving your personal opinion. It's alarming to me how many Christians followed Dr Fauci unquestionly, and still do. He's been wrong several times. Things have changed from what we knew at first, to what we know now.

Fauci has been wrong ALL THE TIME. He was the chief conspirator who planned to destroy America without a shot being fired. And Trump is as culpable as Fauci since he kept him on and totally ignored Dr. Zelenko, who urged Trump to vigorously promote his HCQ combo pack. New studies have shown that HCQ and ivermectin could have prevented all the COVID and COVID vaccine deaths. So Fauci has blood on his hands.

I still see people alone in their car wearing a mask. I havnt worn one since this farce started. I should probably be dead I guess. i dont watch the "news" and just go about my life. Seems people need to be scared of something all the time.

My custom since the beginnning in March of last hear has been to wear a mask always, when out or when anyone comes by my place. It is not from fear per se but a gesture of good will towards all. After all we are to win others to the Way by our love, and not wearing a mask could be misconstrued.
At first I made my own but then the prices came down so low that I could afford to buy them. I will, , God willing, continue wearing a sk in the same situations until the true all-clear is sounded. I am sure the Father is pleased about it.

I think it is up to us to spread the news, and work as hard as we are able for the health of our nation.

The only way we can help is to talk people into taking care of their immune system, and that requires a change in food and lifestyle. Drugs and vaccination is not working. We are on a diet based on processed grains--or white carbs. Our oil is pr ocessed oil.

Vegetables are side dishes. Our hormone system runs on carbs, and this diet upsets the entire system giving us a high as if we are drugged. It promotes being addicted to white carbs. With our hormone system kapoot our immune system can't protect us from this virus.

Spain is the healthiest nation with their Mediterranean diet, we are 35th.

First of all, this is way more of serious issue than any ordinary Virus could behave and produce. No other Virus has ever been defeated and then evolved into a stronger version of its previous self. This was at one time a Virus like anything else. But Fauci and his team have been given government permission to take ordinary Viruses and turn them into a monster like never seen before. In theory, this is to study this advanced stage in case there ever was a natural Virus unleashed upon humanity and the testing allows for severe cures that were once unknown. But when your Experiment somehow escapes the Lab and finds itself smack dab in the middle of Society, it wreaks the kind of havoc it was designed to.

But what we do have and the Senators are finally waking up and investigating, is a guaranteed "get rich quick scheme." When this is finally unveiled, we will have grant monies behind the Lab Experiments that later was intended to be released on purpose into Society, to create more cash flow to create a Vaccine that will bank billions of dollars into Fauci's personal accounts.

And all of that means, is that Covid-19 is literally a Bio-Weapon!
