Can't find anything positive to say?
Ever? Wow.
I start more threads here on Bible doctrine, the power of God, the Victory of our Saviour, than than just about ANYONE ON THIS FORUM.
I post more posts and threads on PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF FAITH AND SCRIPTURE than anyone here with the possible exception of brother Blume.
I have REPEATEDLY affirmed that Christians are the only wayfinders this world has. I have repeatedly encouraged everyone here to get back to the Bible in order that THEY PERSONALLY might be used by God to help somebody out.
But when I point out the INCONSISTENCY in someone's post I'm somehow the guy who NEVER HAS ANYTHING POSITIVE TO SAY,
EVER???
Good grief. Listen, I understand people are afraid, and feel kind of helpless, and want to do SOMETHING, anything. I didn't say don't make care packages and send them off. I'm saying THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU'VE BEEN SAYING. If you believe quarantines and isolation are necessary to prevent contagion, then to be consistent you wouldn't want nursing homes and vulnerables to be getting ANYTHING THAT MIGHT BE CONTAMINATED including "care packages". I'm trying to encourage people to THINK THINK THINK about the information they are getting.
Look at the nationwide (and global) response to this thing. Ask yourself, does it REALLY MAKE SENSE? A viral contagion that literally is half as bad as influenza and the whole developed world goes into lockdown?
By all means make care packages. But don't start comparing "corona cases" to lepers.
That's a recipe for making people disappear in the middle of the night as Christians cheer the "removal of the lepers".
