WHEN THEY DECLARE CHRISTIANITY A VIRUS

by | May 27, 2020 | Christianity Today | 16 comments

Democrat Governors must believe there are two viruses. There is the Covid-19, which is especially toxic in church buildings, barber shops, and small businesses. That explains why churches and small local businesses must shut down or many people will die.

And apparently Covid-19 causes brain damage and diminishes the ability of pastors and small business owners to take the proper precautions to protect their people.

Here’s the second virus Democrat Governors must believe exists. Let’s call it Covid-20. It is different, it is selective. Covid-20 only targets businesses like Costco, Home Depot, marijuana dispensaries, and Planned Parenthood.  And because it is a kinder, gentler, more manageable virus, Covid-20 doesn’t force a closure of those establishments.

If you are so cynical as to believe that there is only one virus and that this a politically motivated double-standard…shame on you! If you think it is punishment for how Christians and small business owners tend to vote—that is disgusting.

But seriously, when will the restrictions end? It seems the all-wise governors have no idea when it should be deemed safe for the economy to open again. They either can’t or won’t define “safety.” That is because they are only interested in a power grab, and are setting us up for permanent changes.

Yesterday, Gavin Newsom proved there is a double standard. When thousands of churches told him that they would open up this coming Sunday, and President Trump declared churches essential, Newsom immediately pivoted and announced churches could reopen. Why? Did science change? Did he see something new? Nothing changed, and yet it is suddenly okay to reopen churches?

He was saving face when forced to by the millions who have stopped listening and obeying him. He wanted to look like he still had control.  He claims his actions are based on science. And, indeed, it is based on science, political science.

And why should we be surprised by all this? California Democrats have hated the church for years. They have punished Christians repeatedly. They tried to ban the Bible—they limited the size of church buildings—they fought to get sermons tagged as hate speech. The idea of churches shutting down makes their mouths water.

To the Pastors who seek guidance on whether or not to open, I say, “Open your eyes!” We are watching a dress rehearsal for something much bigger. This is a drill.

Here’s what the drill accomplished: It set the mechanism in place for future church shutdowns. It tested public reaction to see if there would be widespread outrage. And apparently it worked, because Americans acted like sheep, willing to trade their Constitutional rights for a bogus “safety.”

What this rehearsal did was to embolden the enemies of freedom. Next time, they won’t need a pandemic to shut down churches—they can treat the church as if it were the virus. And what will you do when they declare Christianity to be a virus? Chicago already thinks that way.

Churches are so dangerous to Chicago Democrats that they have threatened to bulldoze churches that dare to have services. The Liberty Counsel reports:

“In a letter delivered Saturday, May 23, Chicago Health Commissioner Allison Arwady wrote, “I am authorized to seek to enjoin such nuisance or to cause the same to be summarily abated in such manner as I may direct….” The letter ended by stating that “the City will take steps necessary to abate, including Summary Abatement.”

According to the Illinois Supreme Court, “Summary abatement would mean to put down or destroy without process. This means the inspector can, upon his own judgment, cause the alleged nuisance to stop on his own authority and effect a destruction of property at his discretion.” City of Kankakee v. New York Cent. R. Co., 387 Ill. 109, 116, 55 N.E.2d 87, 90 (1944).”

To know what to do you must consider these facts:

There are thirteen states that have been open for more than three weeks now (prior to 5/1), and these states have seen daily coronavirus cases fall 29%.

Meanwhile, in California, death is coming from several other sources: not only are businesses failing, resulting in unemployment and bankruptcy, but suicides, since the start of the shutdown, have now surpassed deaths from the virus. Drug addiction has increased. And in several states, the number of DUI’s has doubled. The damage from isolation is taking a severe toll in many forms, from homicides to divorces, from child abuse to spousal abuse. That is why churches need to be open, to stem the tide of these tragedies.

What if being closed is doing more harm than being open? Can you live with the fact that when your people needed you the most, and when your nation needed you the most, you remained compliant based on bad information and false fear?

Millions of your fellow Americans live in a police state. They are being illegally arrested, attacked, and shamed for doing nothing but living their lives in a legal and peaceful manner.

You want a safe church? I am sorry, but it can’t be both safe and Christian. The Gates of Hell are arrayed against the church of Jesus. On the basis of what He won on the Cross, Christ promised us victory. But He never promised a victory without our taking a stand against evil. We most oppose both demonic and human evil.

History shows us the pattern of how free churches become underground churches. In each instance, there was a window of action and opportunity. That window is before us, but only for a short season.

So, I ask you again, what will you do in the future, if the state declares Christianity a virus?

    Demo-C-orona-RATs…herein lies the deadliest virus of all. It can’t be cured. It must be crushed. Vote them out.

    • Carolina

      What I find revealing is the grid tracking difference in age groups. In my state the COVID-19 tracking cases shows that the worst of the infectious age groups that have the virus are in the 20-44 year olds at 40% of the newly established cases. The 65 and over group are way down in cases from that at 21% of the population. The death rate is higher however.
      Yet also in my state, the numbers of confirmed cases have sky rocketed since late March from around 1,000 cases in the entire state clear up to today at way over 16,000 cases confirmed state wide.
      Our Govenor has already opened churches and swimming pools, Casino’s, restaurants and bars, gyms, and so forth. But when I check on the tracking grids weekly the COVID cases appear to be leveling out but still with all kinds of new age group cases confirmed with infection.
      I am very concerned for the children in the fall when school goes back into session.
      This pandemic is a wake up call for any and all who will listen to what The Spirit is saying to the churches.

      • NewHeavenOnEarth

        the cases are way up because testing is way up; most get the virus and our God-given immune system takes care of it; fear on the other hand decreases our natural immunity as does staying indoors; people feel safer but their immune systems get weaker

    Thank you so much for these words that stir us to action! I am a pastor in Virginia. Gov. Northam yesterday issued a mandate that masks be worn in all indoor public gatherings. I believe this is the Jezebel spirit lashing out against President Trump’s order for churches to open! It lost that battle so now wants to hinder what we do and mute our voice!

    Too late. We are one of those churches who opened weeks ago before he “gave us permission!” But now I have to go against these new orders and risk the health department shutting down our church.

    For reference, we have mutual friends, Evangelist Sean and Christa Smith. Love them dearly!

    Mario, I must ask for my own peace of mind and awareness. Where do you get the statistics on increased suicides [relevant to shutdowns] and drugs and violence? I to, believe as you do, sir, in regard to that party that is manipulating this chaos and destruction in our nation. I have tried to explain to those “believers” including my own family the following – God established government, man added politics. My support goes to whoever defends God, His Word and His plans. The PLATFORM is what is to be most necessary – NOT – the party or the person. God will decide who that leader is to be. Most folks reject this point of view and say it is “our ” responsibility “. People chose Saul – he failed ! God chose King David, yes, he failed in things of the flesh but maintained having a heart after God. We are so far away from God as a nation that God may be allowing another Saul to bring us another DAIVID !? Be merciful to us, Oh! God, for we know not what we do. In His service always. Len Wisniewski

    Covenant people of God for all time have been the target of the slithering serpent. A nearly 500 year old hymn came to my mind while reading this post. The words ring just as true for the church in the world today as it did in the time of the Reformation. Here are the last two stanzas of A Mighty Fortress is our God:

    3. And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us, we will not fear, for God has willed his truth to triumph through us. The prince of darkness grim, we tremble not for him; his rage we can endure, for lo! his doom is sure; one little word shall fell him.

    4. That Word above all earthly powers no thanks to them abideth; the Spirit and the gifts are ours through him who with us sideth. Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also; the body they may kill: God’s truth abideth still; His Kingdom is forever!

  8. Cheryl Nicolay

    Thank you Mario for nailing it! We stayed open with wise health precautions! We wanted to be there for the hurting! Thank you for your support! Love, hugs, and prayers! Your NY pizza loving friends in Dinuba!❤️?❤️

  9. Orman Strand

    Trust in God is our strength, He will protect and guide us through as He always has, it is a little hard to understand but He understands when we are troubled over what is happening. He sent JESUS to save the world and those who believe are saved. So put your trust in HIM. Believe this will awaken many people to who HE is and bring them back to GOD!!

  10. NewHeavenOnEarth

    I so agree with what you wrote, “He was saving face when forced to by the millions who have stopped listening and obeying him. He wanted to look like he still had control. He claims his actions are based on science. And, indeed, it is based on science, political science.” their god is pride and lust for power, the god of this world, the spirit of this world, the power of the air at work in the sons of disobedience (Ephesians 2:1-6) and any science, technology, pharmakeia, or vaccine that can further their dark, satanic agenda

    • Noel

      Yes!! That will preach!!

  11. pkadams

    They have already started working on calling religious feelings a brain dysfunction that can be “overactive “. Gene editing can “fix” that God gene. Google VMAT.

  12. Jim Taylor

    If you want to take a trip down the rabbit hole…… this one explains a LOT of what is going on. Of course the mainstream will have nothing to do with it. I was just trying to bring this to Mario’s attention, but couldn’t find another contact method. So take down if not allowed, thank you and God Bless
