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.

Who is “we”?
