I still stand by it. Closing down the country did nothing to help but only hurt. Never thought I would say it but if all places Sweden got this one right and hindsight is starting to prove it now.

I agree that the cure is worse than the disease. But I think the death toll is well more than seven hundred.

Wear a mask. Practice social distancing. Wash your hands.

This is the "turn the other cheek, put your brother first" approach to covid19.

Masks are a joke and wouldn’t doubt if they make it worse.

Masks dry my throat and make me cough. I hate them.

Re: Tony Spell has church in spite of the ban

Being a nurse that takes care of Covid patients, I wouldn't say mask are useless, they are a help. The problem is it's being made into a political issue.

Re: Tony Spell has church in spite of the ban

We walk by faith and not by sight.
Therefore we are moved more by what we believe than by what we see.
Problem here is for the natural man. He logically and correctly trusts in those 5 senses God designed into the body for the benefit of that body. Su justifiably isn’t he correct to act on those senses. Answer, yes. He should use those natural senses to deal with everyday life as long as it’s not in disagreement with faith and the word of God. But at that moment where faith disagrees with those natural senses, then and there we must abandon the senses and go with faith. Because what we believe by faith in the word of God is more substantial than a mountain standing before us.
Covid has resisted the faith in that it asks us to forsake the assembling of ourselves together in trade for fear that we might get sick and die. Isn’t the sting of death sin. What then does the church have to fear. If death has no sting/ hurt it then has no intimidation power over us. Isn’t the church just what many who have died lost from Covid needed. Water baptism, Holy Ghost baptism by the laying on of hands. Nope many died lost , while those with biblical knowledge cast their faith aside and hunkered down in fear.

As the church cowered in fear over this Pandemic.

Didn’t take much to shut the doors of the church, shut the doors of their home.

Meanwhile, you have a President that is in NO WISE a CHRISTIAN, tells people do not let the virus dominate you, do not fear it.

The Church should’ve been doing that!!!!

Allow me to quote Joe Biden, here.



I literally can't wear a mask over my nose, because for the past 15 years or so I've had to take deep breaths regularly, as my body seems to think I'm not getting enough oxygen. It's hard enough without a mask on, it's impossible with one.

And putting a mask on under my nose makes it completely worthless, which is nothing more than virtue signalling. I'm not into virtue signalling. So why don't you "put your brother first" and shut up about the stupid masks.
