I mean how safe is safe? High profile people need to get tested how often? Biweekly? I mean it's ok to be concerned. But I would not say he is a bad pastor for not getting checked. I live in california, I know dozens of people who work in the food industry in my area who have not been checked. I think it all depends on how sanitary you are. And if you are sick. If your sick stay at home. Always be sanitary, wash hands, etc. I even like the social distancing, people are talking about, not shaking hands, standing a few feet away. But I would not say a pastor is good or bad based on a virus. If he is sick yes he should stay home, but other than that I honestly don't see a problem if they don't get tested. I mean everyone should treat every other person as if they are infected already. Don't touch them, or hug them, or get close enough to be sneezed on. But say a pastor gets tested. That does not mean he is immune, it just means he don't have it yet. So I ask, how often do you think they need to get tested?
He always never has been friendly for a pastor and been kindy self centered. He does have Bi-polar and family also.
it matters not. A pastor can have faith in God and not be affected by a physical virus at all. Now should he take precautions as a church? yes, but that is not what you took exception with, you took exception with him not believing in virus. And I take it to mean that He does not believe it is more powerful than God, and he would be right.
well I think you answer your post right here, if he has bipolar, that would make sense if he is unfriendly to some, while being nice to others. Even people with mental illness can be pastors. But yes, we should love other people. But giving them cripling fear over a virus is not Godly. we are not to be afraid of anything, not in Christ. Christ has the victory. It is satan that operates with fear, not God.
He might have stopped his medicine for the treatment of Bipolar.
My sister lives in Oklahoma City and has it. Caught it from a coworker returning from Korea. She has been ordered from her company to get tested but so far has been given the beurocratic run around. No one knows who has the kits and does the testing. THe state health dept says the local doctors are to do it and the local doctors say the health dept is supposed to be doing it.
