Praying for your son and for Cow451 to recover. A good friend of my mom's got it in April and was hospitalized for three weeks. He was the first one at church to help others and helped my mother a great deal before I could be here. Now, he is still on oxygen and has obviously been weakened by the disease.

God doesn't have to call down pestilence. We are doing this to ourselves in how we are handling the planet and the life on it.

Good for you. My son has come down with it now, God grant he survives it. But I can't help thinking that it might have been avoided if the administration hadn't been dawdling around all summer pandering to the degenerate notion that prudent steps, like masking, were nothing but part of a devious atheistic socialist plot against Christianity and American values, a notion fostered by Christians very like yourself.

Both of our sons (ages 31 & 22) were infected in the past 6 weeks (work place) and thankfully, both are now fine. We know thir risk is small, but there are so many unknowns with this virus. It is disconcerting as a parent. My wife did lose her older brother (mid 60's) who was infected by his son.

I reject the notion that we as Christains should "allow" the virus to spread under some guise that it's God's judgement. It's simply not biblical (or logical).

I am all for morons calming down and minding their manners but once that ship has sailed I look forward to them hoisting themselves as high as possible upon their own petards.
. They did , right wing Parler had GPS data on them as well as names from ID. So if they uploaded video from that insurrection, they’re screwed . Cellphones also can track you ! I was wondering how people got found so quickly!

Never underestimate the power of prayer.
Never underestimate the power of telling a brat that they have to sit in timeout until they behave ! ;)

That never worked for me. I guess I wasn't tough enough to follow through and the kids knew it.

Me either , but my 2 weren’t too much of a problem . I only had 3 rules . Do your chores, do your schoolwork, and stay out of trouble! They got grounded which they’d ignore after about an hour . Youngest recently teased me about that so I told him , did you stop what you were doing when you got grounded ? So he thought about it, realized that I just wanted him to stop causing mischief not that I wanted him in the house.

Being that I am recovering from COVID, I’d rather have taken a pass on that plague, if you don’t mind.

It's tough on the lungs. I still have a cough. Worst pneumonia I've ever had. I hope you get better.

There's lots of life or health threatening situations where you have a choice.

So do you dither and get clobbered?

Sorry but I'm not going to wear a hard hat everywhere I go. I have had covid and was told I'm now immune. Surely they didn't lie to me.

Ok. But you avoided the question completely. You see a threat coming. Stand still because its Gods plan? or get out of the way?

And what if it isn't and the carelessness shown by those who refuse masks and act badly on plane causes their condemnation from God as it costs the lives of others?

Perhaps He is testing who really is His?
Remember I Corinthians 13?

Bible Gateway passage: 1 Corinthians 13 - King James Version

13 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.


If you don't have love, you have nothing. Love for others includes caring about their health and lives.

I care about their soul first. Health and lives come later. We worry so much about health and lives as you stated yet we are silent when it comes to the most important thing and that is the soul. We stand by and let false teachings spread. We stand by while atheists sow division among us. We put our heads down and stay silent when we are commanded to speak up. It seems to me that we all just want an appearance of caring.

If I know it's God's plan it can't be avoided. Running from it will not change the outcome.

You wont really know unless you run and still get hit tho.

I guess I can see that. We as Christians know what's coming yet we continue to fight for what's right knowing it won't change anything.

However, preaching at the person while not caring about them physically and being careless with their lives will fall on deaf ears. They will hear hypocrisy. What they hear is "I care more for their own about being inconvenienced than I do about your life." That is the message that will be received.

I find Christians are often mysteriously selective about which impending problems are God's will requiring no actions, and which require we move heaven and earth.... or at least duck.

Have you ever considered that love thy neighbor means saving them from hell? Would you not want them to help you if you were heading that direction?
That was the reasoning behind the inquisition. If the Jews are damned to hell in any case, why not torture them into converting? It is better then eternal torment certainly?

It seems a plane full of self described "patriots" were not "following crew member instructions and complying with mandatory face-covering policies" according to American Airlines. Direct flight AA 1242 flew from Reagan National Airport to Phoenix Sky Harbor on Friday (Kansas was no on the itinerary) .

A pilot on an American Airlines flight from Washington, DC, to Phoenix, threatened to divert the plane and strand unruly Trump fans in Kansas.

"This is the way it's gonna be… it's a four and a half hour flight to Phoenix. We'll put this plane down in the middle of Kansas and dump people off — I don't care. We will do that if that's what it takes, so behave, please."
https://twitter.com/i/status/1347629283892731905

The airline said there were no further incidents following the pilot's announcement.

Video: American Airlines pilot says he'll divert plane and strand Trump supporters in Kansas if they don't 'behave'

There's no "chanting" in the video clip. Where is the evidence that the plane is "full of self described "patriots"? The "screen grab" in the article doesn't show a thing, it's just a shot of a plane full of people sitting in their seats. For all we can tell, it was one person refusing to wear a mask.

Many of them probably did... they either want to look patriotic, or the don't want to risk not looking patriotic enough.

Chanting? Take it up with the writer....err correction...take it up with Mindy (check her tweet embedded in the article)

Trump supporter Mindy Robinson, who posted one video, described the plane as "full of patriots."
