47 Bible Verses About Helping Others: 7 Scriptural Themes for Generosity


^ 1. CARING FOR THE WEAK

Matthew 10:8: “Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.”


there are immunocompromised individuals who can't get the vaccine & children are not able to get vaccine yet

we ALL can get vaccinated to care for the weak & save lives
Yes, good point.
Also, we know also the new finding that Delta is so contagious that even vaccinated people can spread it also, so that we will need to wear a mask indoors with people that are not in our household until Delta is subdued. We can simply follow the CDC guidance, because they are getting good at offering the good guidance in a more timely way.

Also, it's helpful to become aware of how Delta will show up in most vaccinated people: more of the typical common cold symptoms (more prevalent): sneezing, runny nose, sore throat, headache.

So that when we have these, we should consider it could be Delta, and so we could at that time be significantly contagious, until they pass plus a few days.

I didn't even imply that it is harmless just is it contagious?

We all pick and choose our cause. There's no getting around that. Otherwise, you'd see equal fervor and upset regarding society's challenges.

If this is your baby that's great. But you can't tell anyone it has to be theirs. No one has that authority. You can't make anyone think or feel the way you want because you said so.

My mother suggested this and I thought of your comment.

ETA: Look at the Unhinged clip on YouTube.
Just saw it. Yikes! Reminds me of something that happened to me eons ago when I honked at a guy who unexpectedly pulled out in front of me as he was leaving parking lot just as I was approaching him. Fortunately, he got over it much sooner, but not before going out of his way to re-enter the parking lot just to hurl obscenities at me as I was exiting it...

Wow. That's crazy. I mentioned your post and she directed me to the film. I saw the clip and laughed. Not because he's funny. Because agitation spills out. You can't contain it for long. It bubbles inside and overflows.

Driving, politics, vaccines, etc. are outlets for irritation. It's a coping mechanism for upsets. Your point was spot on. Its all related.

Did you know that in spite of everything, the flu vaccine is still recommended?
Why wouldn't it be?

Ah, but many people are convinced to get vaccinated because someone they admire and trust tells them they should. This may be a family member especially a family or friend in the medical field, an entertainment person or athlete, and especially their pastor, etc.

I got the pneumonia vaccine because my son who is a pharmacist told me I should. I also started getting the yearly flu vaccine because of his advice.

What many people do has no bearing on someone's decision unless they accept their influence. You don't have to. That's your choice.

If you're well and your loved ones are too I'm happy. :)

If only 1,800 people got flu last year out of 331 million, why get the flu vaccine? Specially considering that many who get the vaccine show symptoms of flu FROM the vaccine, and only .015% who actually get the flu die from it. Seems more likely to have a fatal accident on the way to the vaccine, than to die from the flu.

since 50% of people above their normal weight don't perceive themselves to be overweight, this problem is NOT going away and it's totally unrelated to topic of thread

however, if the conspiracy theory people & anti-vax people would STOP spreading false info....
we could stop this pandemic by bringing vaccine rate to herd immunity

I can't believe so many Christians don't care enough to get vaccine & help out to increase to herd immunity
it's upsetting to hear about children dying OR children losing both parents to covid

Please stop. If your going to say things like this .. please at least back it up with facts even if you believe the CDC.. then post what they said. Would not GOD be pleased if we walked by faith? Taking a vaccine that they say "we don't know what the long term side effects will be". Taking this vaccine when they say you will not get covid again.. changed to now you can get it again. You can't even protect your self from getting it again.

Truth.. we know Jesus Christ is the way the truth and the life. We know every person we pass by on the street at school at work at the store .. if they do not know Jesus Christ they are lost forever.. never having everlasting life. Yet we don't condemn judge we love. We give them the right to choose.. we don't push them.. get in their face.

"Christians don't care?" 88y old man collapses and dies after getting covid, death of swiss man after PFizer vaccine. 4 volunteers develop facial paralysis after taking Pfizer covid-19 prompting FDA to recommend surveillance for cases. Hundreds sent to emergence room after getting covid-19. US officials report more severe allergic reactions to Covid-19 vaccines. Shall I go on? There are SO many more.
