A Christian with corona virus

[lambofgod43985889]

The Bible says He counts every hair on our head. Meaning, He knows us intimately. It doesn't say anywhere that Christians should never expect to suffer.

John 16:33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

"You will have trouble." This was spoken to believers, not the unsaved.

but jesus was never ill because he was obedient, if the Christian is disobedient can expect diseases

i think satan is more present than what you picture

Maybe you give him more power and credit than you should, we'll only know in eternity. I would never give Satan that much credit myself, Satan cannot do anything outside of God's will and knowledge

 

[Isilwen]

Was just about to say that. Job is an example of that!

I like the Apostle John's death

No one actually knows how John died, though Mark hints at his martyrdom.

 

[Lost4words]

God said he takes care of every hair of our head. Jesus was never ill.

Does that mean that nobody should get unwell? Do you expect God to go against the rules of nature? Rules that He created?

I believe in God 100%. I have faith in God 100%.

If i had cancer tomorrow i would not blame God. I would offer up my suffering to Him gladly.

The devil is behind all the things that are happening.

God is Sovereign over all things.
The devil can only do what God allows.
God has prophesied what will happen in the end times, thus God is the One who is allowing certain things to happen to fulfill His prophecy, so these things must come about because God has said so centuries ago.
God is Sovereign over it all.

Why a Christian could get coronavirus?

For the same reason everyone else does.

 

[Leet]

I KNOW this is going to be the most ridiculous thing I'll read all day. Come on bro.

Scripture tells us that Timothy had frequent illnesses, for which he was told to use a little wine.

EVERYONE gets diseases.

John 9:1-5 As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”

3 “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. 4 As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. 5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”

To shame the Christian for being sick is no different than what Jobs friends did to Job.


In the end, it is the one that was allowed to be touched by sickness that lived the rest of his days, knowing God personally. Not the ones that shamed and accused him that surely it was something he did that allowed the sickness to touch his life.

We need to be VERY careful in the assumptions we make as to the standing of ones relationship with God based upon their physical health... or any other fleshly matters of this world.

 

[Bond-servant of Christ]

Shame, a weapon of the devil.

or the Righteous Judgement of The God of the Bible.

 

[rom8:38]

About this time Jesus was informed that Pilate had murdered some people from Galilee as they were offering sacrifices at the Temple. 2 “Do you think those Galileans were worse sinners than all the other people from Galilee?” Jesus asked. “Is that why they suffered? 3 Not at all! And you will perish, too, unless you repent of your sins and turn to God. 4 And what about the eighteen people who died when the tower in Siloam fell on them? Were they the worst sinners in Jerusalem? 5 No, and I tell you again that unless you repent, you will perish, too.” Lk. 13:1-5. NLT Jesus is pointing out that suffering is not necessarily related to sin. We are just as human and fragile as non-believers. Our focus is on praying for strength to get through our trials and tribulations. I pray your healing is swift; but don't make it bigger than it is. That is what is presently crippling the globe at this time; and it is all fear-based. God bless.

What that means, I feel it's a shame.

Christians are not exempt from Covid 19. It's is very real but over blown and being used to control people. More people have recovered from it than have died from it. Wash your hands and be safe no need to hide from society. Do not think that you cannot catch a virus because your a child of God. At the same time also remember that God is our provider, he will sustain through rough times.

Who said the reason Jesus was never ill because he was obedient? This is the most preposterous thing I've ever heard.
Secondly Jesus makes clear that whether disease or death matters little to God just your eternal salvation. You know that whole thing about "Fear not he who can kill the body but cannot kill the soul"..

 

[Kenny'sID]

God's not going to stop most people, if anyone, from getting the virus, and that doent mean we are second rate to him.

He also doesnt stop us from trying to avoid the virus. Like everything ele, its all up to us.

Free to catch it, free to try not to.

By His wounds we are healed.

We were ill in a way no one could fix, but Jesus was ill in our place so that we could live.

 

[Halbhh]

I feel god didn't take care of them in that specific aspect. Why a Christian could get coronavirus? I wonder why. I would feel bad or sad.

Why should anyone that believes ever die?

Celebrate, because

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

But for this mere mortal shell, just dust --

Genesis 3:19 By the sweat of your brow you will eat your bread, until you return to the ground--because out of it were you taken. For dust you are, and to dust you shall return."

This temporary body is just dust.

Philippians 1:21 For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

 

[Gregory Thompson]

The body is a temporary vessel, it is not who we are.

as it is written "the body is more than clothing" so that it is clothing remains.

 

[PaulCyp1]

It means that Christians are human, so pathogens that affect humans affect Christians.
