Church services in defiance of government orders?
Throughout the country, there are some pastors, ministers, and church leaders who are continuing to hold church services even though the state government or the local government has placed restrictions upon doing so. Therefore these leaders are technically in defiance of a local ordinance.
Here are my questions to you on this topic.
When answering the questions please explain your position as thoroughly as possible, and if you feel your position is backed up by Scripture please provide that Scripture within your post.
1. In the middle of a health epidemic, is it morally, ethically, and spiritually responsible for ministers to be holding services where congregants are present? Why or Why not?
2. Do spiritual leaders have the right to hold said meetings, the spiritual right and the constitutional right? Elaborate on your beliefs.
3. The ministers that are being cited or jailed for holding meetings or services with more than 10 people, are they being treated fairly or unfairly? Why are why not?
4. Most importantly, is a minister who is holding these services being fair, properly shepherding, the people that God has given them to minister to? How did you reach your conclusion?
