Tarver argued the ban did not violate constitutional protections on religious liberty because it allowed for virtual services. McCormick says virtual services are not the same."
This is why the country is wrecked, because the ostensibly Christian population has followed a multitude to do evil by voting for lawless heathens and tolerating their representatives leading the nation into apostasy from God.
God has already legislated on the subject of church assemblies and the role of civil government. God has likewise legislated that all of His people are forbidden to obey any edicts of man that contradict God's commands. "We MUST obey God rather than men."
Those who try to roll back the "unconstitutional edicts against Christians and their churches" are once again going about it all wrong, and have no Biblical reason to think God will support them or help them. God does not obligate Himself to fight on behalf of rebels and traitors who look to MAN and manmade political IDOLS for their salvation and deliverance while giving Him lip service.
Isaiah 29:13-14 KJV
Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men: [14] Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.
Malachi 2:7-9 KJV
For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts. [8] But ye are departed out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble at the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the Lord of hosts. [9] Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according as ye have not kept my ways, but have been partial in the law.
Jeremiah 9:13-15 KJV
And the Lord saith, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein; [14] But have walked after the imagination of their own heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them: [15] Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.
Leviticus 26:3-9 KJV
If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them; [4] Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. [5] And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely. [6]
And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land. [7
] And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword. [8] And
five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword. [9]
For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you.
Leviticus 26:14-17 KJV
But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments; [15] And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my covenant: [16] I also will do this unto you;
I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. [17] And
I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you.
God will not be on your side if you won't be on His.
