Would Jesus Wear Nitrile Gloves To Pray For The Si
 
Would Jesus(though it would be against the law during quarantine) wear nitrile gloves and a mask when going to pray for those with Coronavirus? Or would he not go?

Was it lawful to heal a man on the Sabbath?

It is not illegal to heal the sick even under this pandemic. One need not be near or touch a person in order to pray.

It is God who touches and heals people, not we ourselves.

But if you insist on not wearing PPE's when praying for the sick, we will roll our eyes at your decision as we read your obit.

So, for someone who pretends to care so much for people's health and well being you state you will "roll your eyes as you read" someone's obituary?

You need to get saved.

If I believed that I had the leading of God to go and pray, I would use the same faith to believe he would keep me from it. I would just do it the way the bible said to.
By the laying on of hands.
I hate to even ask what you would do in foot washing(socks must be worn?) I guess you could livestream a virtual footwashing.

One can pray for the sick while not touching them or even being in the same room as them. Pray at home for those who are sick in their homes.

Social isolation will reduce the number of needless deaths. Even for those who pray for the sick from a distance.

IMO the ones commanding social isolation are not doing it for your health. They are testing the depth of our obedience.

Sure. But the Bible has this doctrine called the laying on of hands. We just forget Bible doctrine during pandemics?

Why don’t you just quit pretending to be a Christian, man.

Agree 100%, this is an obvious moving forward and walking on our freedoms, albeit done slowly to minimize negative reactions l. They are always calculating dissent.

I concur. You can see it in how some states have instituted "mandatory lockdown" orders, how some states - and Congress - have attempted to push through gun (owner) control legislation.

Virginia actually HAS pushed through several anti-gun owner bills, which have been signed by the governor. Where's the 20,000+ people who showed up to protest the legislation back in January?
:chirp:chirp:chirp:chirp

They're using this to see how much they can get away with. Constitution? What Constitution? :dunno

Stay isolated and pray from a distance. When the pandemic is over, resuming laying on of hands.

Easy stuff.

Do you not realize that the virus is not going to just disappear? If trump opens it up May 1st or September 1st when we all go back to the real world the virus will be there waiting. The shut down was not to stop it. It was to slow it down and not overwhelm the health care system. I will lay hands on anybody that wants prayer no matter what. God doesn’t work around man’s way. His way works.

Easy stuff.

If the Spirit of the Lord comes upon you with the gift of healing, just do it, brother, in the name of the one who healed the lepers.

I don’t need the gift to come upon me I have a calling And a command from the Lord.

When you don’t take the scripture seriously, sure. Glad you got it all figured out man.

How long you been backslid?

Not that I know of. This past year I have prayed for many sick people that could have possibly had it before we were aware of it... good chance it has been here since late December.... so far I have not met one person that has tested positive for it... but If they had it and wanted me to I would pray for them... with no mask and no gloves ( I would wash my hands after ).

Now I’ve had to go pray for people in the hospital that I was made to put on PPE so not that I’m against it if I have too...

That's what I thought. They won't even let you do it without PPE.

You mean the doctrine of laying off of hands is still in place during pandemics?!

It's still in the bible, question is if it is still believed.

What about Churches that have no way to live stream?
Had anyone thought about that?

Whatever. Someone from the first church of change agent provocateur, will probably have some clever answer for that. :lol
