Government Stimulus?

Brothers, the times are already tense enough for most, there is no need to ratchet up the stress with name-calling. Please refrain.

U.S. Congressman Clay Higgins, a Republican from Louisiana, sent a letter to the governor last week saying he believes the limit on the size of church gatherings is unconstitutional.
“I agree that all our constituents and religious leaders should follow the recommendation of the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC),” Higgins wrote. “However, the decision to gather should be the choice of the individual or institution and not a mandate by any government entity. The state has no authority to enforce this proclamation nor any ban on worship.”

In reference to the statement in bold, I believe it is the decision of the individual, and NOT necessarily the institution. Then you would be holding an institution accountable for the actions of individuals. And that seems unlikely to me, from a legal standpoint.

Thank you for that.

I think they should focus all that funding on helping those that lose their job. I still have mine, I refuse to keep that money for myself. I rather they don’t send me the check.

I think they should send it to unemployment and after filing, dole out a percentage that is in proportion to your income.

We've added the church in Baton Rouge to our prayer list of churches we specifically pray for. God bless the saints in Baton Rouge who have kept their wits about them.

NDavid, your responses on this thread are uncalled for. Quite honestly you sound like those guys in China who say Christianity isn't outlawed or oppressed cause muh Three Self Patriotic Church umbrella organisation. You could still go to church in the Soviet Union as long as everything was done in obedience to the givernment.

Spell is right, martial law is not constitutional and cannot override the first Article of the Bill of Rights which prohibits government interference with the RIGHT of THE PEOPLE to PEACEFULLY ASSEMBLE. But more importantly, NO government has the authority to contradict the Word of Almighty God. We must obey God rather than men. If someone doesn't want to go to church because they've bought into this preplanned prescripted scamdemic that's their business. But no secular authority can "ban" God's people from assemblying together. Such a ban is no more authoritative than your neighbor "banning" a church gathering.

501(c)3 non profit religious corporations are another story, however.

Hi Pot, meet Kettle. Do you seriously believe this is anything like what Christians are dealing with in China or in the past USSR??? Good grief.

And I note you're good with the locked and loaded, church is ready to shoot some people stupid talk, but when I point out facts and the truth which don't align with the conspiracies you like, you say I'm out of line.

Yeah, let's lock and load over lies, but I'm the one out of line.

Who has declared Martial Law? NO ONE HAS DECLARED MARTIAL LAW!!! Good grief, did MSNBC or CNN hack into AFF to post a bunch of fake news?

Good thing they haven't banned churches from assembling. Sad that temporarily all 1,000+ can't squeeze into a sanctuary together, I know it's a numbers game for some preachers. There's saints in other places who would LOVE to freely meet with 49 other saints to worship.

Let's just ignore 1 Peter 2.

If man says you can't worship any God or meet together with others, then obviously we obey God. That's not what's happening here.

Good luck with the locking and loading, Dog.
