With the world in the grips of a pandemic, and many folks refusing to take the coronavirus seriously, those who profess to be followers of Jesus Christ would do well to ask themselves: What would he do in this circumstance? Would Christ ignore the civil authorities? Would Christ tempt fate and insist that God would protect him from the plague?
No doubt, Jesus Christ was a healthy young man who took care of his temple and followed the dietary laws of the Pentateuch. Hence, both God's favor and his own constitution would have made it extremely unlikely that he would have ever succumbed to the virus or even experienced any symptoms. But would Christ have been concerned about the people around him? Would he have worn a mask to protect other folks from being exposed to the virus - even if only to serve as an example to others? I think that Jesus Christ would wear a mask - What do you think?
Your full of shit Miller.
ReplyDeleteMarcus,
DeleteI've read that we can hold up to twenty-five pounds of waste in our intestines, so you may be right about that (although I have been regular lately). As for whether or not Jesus would wear a mask, I'm not sure the amount of fecal matter I'm carrying around has much bearing on that subject.
However, Christ's apostle to the Gentiles did say: "Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God. So anyone who rebels against authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and they will be punished. For the authorities do not strike fear in people who are doing right, but in those who are doing wrong. Would you like to live without fear of the authorities? Do what is right, and they will honor you. The authorities are God’s servants, sent for your good. But if you are doing wrong, of course you should be afraid, for they have the power to punish you. They are God’s servants, sent for the very purpose of punishing those who do what is wrong. So you must submit to them, not only to avoid punishment, but also to keep a clear conscience." Romans 13:1-5
