The largest religious group today defied the order of IATF which controls the public health regulations during the covid19 pandemic The govt has threatened to use its police power to close down organizations defying the govt laws and regulations.
With due respect to the church top echelons:
1. The scriptures in Romans,, admonishes every one to follow authorities who run the govt as authorized by God Himself https://www.bibleref.com/Romans/13/Romans-13-1.html
2. There were deaths in US attributed to continuance of church services despite the ban. The pastors themselves died. https://www.usnews.com/news/us/articles/2020-03-31/louisiana-pastor-says-hell-keep-violating-coronavirus-ban
3. The science data has records of super spread attributed to religious rites and gatherings.
It is not discrimination between spas, gyms and church; it is about protecting lives of many people, and stopping the march of covid19 which is on the rise. It is not about lessening the church importnce in the lives of the people nor their powers and authority
Can we obey and bring order to this troubled country.?
