"We don't get our rights to worship freely from the government we get those from God," said the Rev. Tony Spell of Life Tabernacle Church in Baton Rouge, Louisiana."We'd rather obey God than man."Spell held another massive service at Life Tabernacle despite being charged multiple times last week for violating the state ban.
Police are arresting and fining people for violating social distancing ordersDespite several clusters of Covid-19 sicknesses traced to congregations -- at least 70 cases were traced to a single church in Sacramento, California -- other states are also allowing services to continue. "Churches by and large do the right thing, they want to protect their parishioners," Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson told reporters Sunday.
Matthew 4:7 states ...'You shall not test the Lord your God'. Going to church and assuming God will keep you from getting sick is testing God.
That's OK if the Reverend can take care of himself and his people if infected with the virus, not hospitals! !!:-0
Please read Bible! God would never, never, want minister to expose parish to death so they could disobey rule everyone knows was put in place for everyones safety. They are missing the entire point of Jesus! He died for salvation not for church attendance & for us not himself.
We all know that we must obey God as ruler rather than men, but this concerns our health and life , would it kill to worship from home until the situation calms down. Staying home Will show that we respect authorities and human life😇
DeathTabernacle
Capitalism at its finest!
Does this pastor have a twitter account?
If this country has to be locked down as in martial law then fucking do it and quit being a bunch of godamn pansies!! What is it going to take I don't want anybody else to die.
This pastor is fake and joke if he goes by bible it tells you to obey law of land . Once its not contrary to your belief. Romans 13:1-2. Read that
That’s just stupid🤦🏼♀️😷
U are not obeying God.
If people want to congregate like this, fine, then they need to stay in their church and quarantine together for the duration. This is the most selfish, disgusting thing since Florida Spring Break.
GET REAL.
The notion that people must take responsibility for their actions is something that many denominations of the Christian church fails to teach.
They will get infected ! Unbelievable asshole
🤦🏾♀️ these IDIOTS! Go ahead & get to that building to 'worship!' ...and when you/your congregation turn up positive go right back to that church for your testing & medical/acute care! 😉
Then kick them all in there together.God doesn't give them the right to kill all of us.
Hallelujah!!!❤️
STUPID!!!
You're under the impression that people need you or a building to have a relationship with God. They don't need either. Your message is you don't care about anyone unless they are in your church. God sees your selfishness and will deal with you sooner or later.
Tax them
I dont blame the rev he probably thinking about his money. The people that go are the fools.
To the good rev: Visit China and then reflect on where freedom of worship comes from! Our forefathers spilled blood so you can have the freedom to spout whatever disgusting nonsense from your soapbox every Sunday. 'God' has nothing to do with it.
We had service as well. Virtually to include communion. It was very comforting to have a semblance of normalcy. After church my family got together for a virtual Palm Sunday dinner. We got a chance to break bread with family as far away as California.
Ok, try doing that in a country that systematically targets groups of people based solely on their religion, actually just read a history book (cheaper). Anyone throughout history could always believe in whatever they wanted, sometimes they just happened to die bc of it
God didn't command that you be stupid
Holy moly......may want to get a heads start on the 'God please heal us' prayers
This is all about MONEY not religion
These so called leaders are supposed to be leading their congregations in the right direction... by them defying health regulations they are being reckless and stupid. There’s a thing called LIVE videos. They can hold service virtually. BE LEADERS not idiots! 🙄🤦🏽♂️
Stay home and stop the spread. Worship can take place anywhere... it is humbling and powerful to worship at home through online church. God is here.
This is the problem with GOP christians, they say 'We don't get our rights to worship freely from the government we get those from God,' said the Rev. Tony Spell. In reality, YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO WORSHIP BECAUSE OF OUR CONSTITUTION, But the first sentence is FREEDOM FROM RELIGION!
Tax the MFers!
So sorry you were raised to be so selfish. I was taught better by the age of 4.
I wonder if CNN would do a hit job on the Islamic faith as it does on Christianity at every chance.
Who says you need a brick and mortar institution in order to worship? Jesus didn’t have one.
When they get COVID, will they also be looking to their god to cure them?
Why don’t you follow the rest of what is said in the Bible?
mondaythoughts Let the good Christians of NoMasksNeeded LifeTabernacleChurch practice their Christianity while carrying the corpses from the emergency rooms of BatonRouge hospitals mrnbcox
Someone should tell these people that they need to a different person to teach them religion. You dont NEED to go to church to be close to God. God is alive in all living things all the time. Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent. Closer is than breathing & nearer than hands &
Then they all better stay locked in the sanctuary. Chain the doors.
Satanists are more common sensical than these beasts of burden. Burden of the brain.
NoVents4Idiots if medical drs are running out of vents then folks who went to church after the social bans went into affect should NOT be treated. They believe so strongly in GOD they can just pray to get better. Save our nurses & doctors from cult members.
Good. Let them obey a fairy tale. If they get sick and die, we can finally move on. The ignorance of religious nuts in this country holds this country back on every level. Until the USA is fully-secular, we can never move forward and be great.
They wouldn't do that to Jews
Wrong! The reason we have laws is to protect people. The church building needed to have all kinds of permit and okay's from the government just to be built. So now all of a sudden you don't have to obey the law ? Nope, they should all be arrested!!!
Neat. I hope the elderly and vulnerable members of his congregation are excited to meet God soon and don't care about the grief they'll leave behind...
Being a Christian, I love being in Church. However, I believe God gave man the ability to think and make decisions. This Pastor CHOSE to put his 'Flock' in harm's way in the name of God? Can't believe God would want that for his people. Simply my point of view
Assholes
Throw his ass in jail!!
Stupid dangerous man !
I have been worshipping at home, with an online service my pastor does. The Church of Christ is NOT a building.
I agree with you, but the Lord we can pray to him at home ..
You Deserve what you get......, You follow a snake into the pit....,don't complain when you get bit and die. Rev. You send these people into danger,they get sick and die,it is YOUR fault ! Not God's fault old man..!
Right now, a pastor showing love for others means worshiping from home to protect those at risk. It does NOT show more faith to gather people. It shows stubbornness, inflexibility, and a failure to consider others. StayAtHome SocialDistancing coronavirus
Then pay taxes please to help pay for the costs you and god are going run up the state in EMS and hospital bills COVID19 athiesm thinkofothers
That’s your choice. Dont turn to man to treat you when you get sick then
You can worship anywhere ....” just because you go to church doesn’t make you a Christian..just as just because you stand in a garage doesn’t make you a car “!!! Christians think and care about others and don’t selfishly think about their own immediate wants or needs .
Good because you’ll be seeing God soon.
It’s not about rights or discrimination- it’s about not spreading an illness - this shows just how disfunctional people are and why they have no will to abide by common sense or the law - they think that they are above all others - hope he gets Arrested
Well this certainly a good way to meet God sooner.
I’m with you on that note reverend, ain’t no one greater then God.
How selfish and 'Un-Christian'!! Keep it up you bunch of idiots and lots of people will be meeting their maker due to your ignorance and disregard for others. You will be responsible for every death this causes. Even the Pope is doing virtual services for heaven's sake.
Selfish!

Can we build a wall around Louisiana to stupid evangelicals from leaving and killing the rest of us?
Doubt anyone who actually thinks this is a good idea is reading this since it's fake news CNN
I remember as I kid my dad talking about a day when the blue laws would be challenged. To me this signals times of serious change.
Vaya con dios.
Excuse me. When did God tell you that you had the 'right' to worship freely He did, however, tell us to love or neighbor where he COULD have been telling us to remain apart til this killing virus is contained.
What would the Sumerians do? They would probably sue the Christians for plagiarism. We need to stop Christianity all together, And Islam. Anything that can't be proven and makes you dumb.
He's slaughtering his flock. Where's he going to get his money from when they're dead ?
The constitution states the freedom of religion not that a religion can be worshiped possibly causing death upon the innocent. Also God said to follow the law of man as well.
I would say the Reverend gets off on influencing his congregation obey him instead of secular advise.
Really a Stupid comment. God is in charge of everything and has empowered our fore founder to write into constitution the right to religious freedom. Compare this with China, or countless other religiously controlled countries/regimes. God empowers us and gives us choices
Just because you have the right to do something doesn’t mean you should. And any parent who brought theif kids there should be charged with child endangerment.
Wtf? That is crazy
People who are too ignorant to think for themselves is the reason there are 'religions' on this earth today. Can't fix stupid.
'Thou shalt not kill'
God give you the right to avoid taxes? How's your private jet?
This is just sad 😢
If they want to kill their congregation, then that is their choice. God will sort it out in the end.
That’s just insane and is dangerous to the rest of society. The Bible has a concept called Pikuach nefesh (Hebrew: פיקוח נפש, “saving a life') describes the principle in Jewish law that the preservation of human life overrides virtually any other religious law.
Hey...private jets are expensive.
LOL. We get our rights from 'God' and not man? Yeah, right. Why does 'God' have different rights for different people in different countries then?
The constitution demands freedom of assembly. The constitution demands the right to own weapons. Infringement on eithier is the government declaring war on its citizens
Take the attendees names, when they arrive in the ER, have the ambulance 🚑 drive them to the pastors house for healing...
THE STUPID ILLITERATE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THAT THE CHURCH IS JUST HERDING THEIR SHEEP FOR MONEY AND THEIR OWN EXISTENCE
COVIDIOTS
God must really want you intubated.🤷🏻♀️
Fools
Some at Easter time cannot break their addictions to going to church.
But God says obey the laws of the land..🤦🏾♀️
Selfishness personified
Well then. Tell God I said Hi when you and your congregation die from being selfish and stupid. Praise be. Hallelujah
🔥✅
Then shut the damn church down. These people are spreading the virus. I am a regular church goer and miss it right now but I’m smart enough to know how dangerous this is.
That’s why the are the child molesters and the stupid Trump trolls
If they insisted on having it, should have had it outdoors with proper distancing and homemade masks.
How’s that working out?
Tax them then.
Where does it say the government has the right to subdue us in our homes? Where? Social distancing means 6 ft apart. Not 6 miles. You so easily surrender your rights - you are not Americans if you believe the government has the right to restrict you more than necessary.
Yeah and you can worship from the safety or your home. If that's what you believe, I doubt 'God' cares where you are while you're praying. If people can pray in prison then why does it matter if you're in a congregational place such as church?
What's holding you up? Wasn't that long ago the worshipers at, Jones Town felt the same way... Don't forget your cooler!
If they'd ever lived in many oppressed countries, they'd know they do, in fact, get those rights from the government. They're not obeying God, they're just being plain stupid!
The pastor said that the pandemic is politically motivated but I think his service is financially motivated.
Ok, but God also wants all of his children to be safe and listen to authorities!
Pray for this virus to take millions of lives like these to save the rest of the world
I am not sure where in the Bible it says behave like a clown and God will save you. Maybe it is somewhere in Samuel
We don’t get our rights to believe in imaginary sky wizard SS from the government, we get that from crazy butters who think sky men are real.
Sins of the father.....
Бойтесь БОГА. ОН быстр в расчете, расплата за грехи будут тяжкими. День воздаяния наступит нежданно, и не будет возможности уклониться. Все племена и в прошлом были одарены БОГОМ. Непокорным кара БОГА прервала путь. Они лишились своих утех и наслаждении. Повинуйтесь Мне Пророку.
God said obey laws of man you con artist
Во Имя БОГА, Любимого. Слава Достохвальному. БОГ один Америке и России. Всех обеспечивает, и спросит за деяния один БОГ. Поклоняйтесь одному БОГУ, и не возгордитесь. Все обязаны Мне, Послу БОГА Поклониться и Повиноваться. Вам университеты не дали воспитание и мировоззрение.
These folks obviously do not read the Bible..God sent every plague in that book
Mr Spell (there could be something in that surname). If God is the good person we are all lead to believe he would be demanding you tell your beloved church goers to stay at home and pray. You need to listen harder and show your caring passionate side
“Thou shalt not kill”.
I read the Bible and it says obey God's law as well as man's
I am a Roman Catholic, and yesterday on Palm Sunday, NYC — where I am, updated its death toll to 2,472. That is 1376 DEATHS within FIVE DAYS in NYC (4:30pm on March 31 — 4:45pm on April 5)....this is utterly horrifying and heartbreaking 🗽💜🍎 Please follow the science & data.
I seriously despise religion more and more everyday
What a thoughtless Heretic to claim superstition over public safety, Civil Law, & Science. Just Appalling.
There won’t be any people to attend these services if they all get sick.
Religion is a death cult
POC are dying at a disproportionate rate in LA, maybe this is part of the reason why.
Perhaps then if they get sick they can get their ventilators from God and the people who they spread te virus to can get theirs from the state
And then he said unto thee, 'Behold it is the act of man, which will bring forth the shadows of doom unto others and death will soon follow.
Romans13:1 Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities,for there is no authority except that which God has established.
Any sane person that listens to this self-servicing “what to be” man of God, deserves what they get. Rev Tony Spell is a fraud
There is a part in the 10 commandments that says 'thou shalt not kill' if you are sick or you could cause a danger to others by attending. Don't you think God would frown upon that? Common sense
Good for him. He clearly hasn't read Exidus about the Passover.
Pastor, you can worship God anywhere, anytime. You don't have to be in a church to do it. When people have been prisoners during a war, they didn't have a church. They weren't permitted to gather. But still they worshipped God, even by themselves.
TonySpell leading his flock to slaughter...Sheep Baaaaaaad baaaaaaaaaaaad‼️
I wish someone from above would slap them!!!
What I call 'religious nutters.'
The should have been locked inside and had food and water delivered for two weeks.
They should try just giving it a rest for a couple weeks so they don’t end up killing 1/2 the people in their congregation. How hard is it? Why are so many super religious folks so utterly devoid of common sense?
No ambulance or ER's should be wasted on any of these churchgoers who get or spread the virus! Zero help! They are not obeying God!
Unfortunate take from a leader of an institution that should know what respect and honour represent in the Kingdom.
👍
I wanna whack them so bad svsuwvsisbosbwkwbsjsjsnaja
'My Church is of the hearts and minds, not of bricks and mortar' I think someone once said...... 🤔🤔🤔
The Rev. Tony Spell should obey one of God’s Ten Commandments first - “Thou shall not kill” ‘cuz he’s potentially killing his churchgoers by exposing them to the coronavirus threat
Perhaps you can get him to stop this bloody virus.
I guess this guy missed the passage where GOD tells His followers to OBEY THEIR EARTHLY LEADERS, because they were made leaders for a reason, yadda yadda... So when your EARTHLY LEADERS tell you to stay home from church because otherwise you or someone close to you might DIE...
I don't think God supports man disobeying the laws of the land.
The spirit can be given to God, but the body must be given to the doctor. The mind can obey God, but the body must obey the advice of professionals. You can have more freedom if you live.
Hopefully they'll COUGH & SNEEZE ALL OVER EACH OTHER!!!
Get your wills ready.
BosseStine Jo godt de er tæt på ham der gud, så wr der jo ikke så langt når de skal afsted,,, skræmmende i et modernet land, godt at have noget at tro på, sygt at tro blindt
They just want them tithes.
They should lose the right to treated . They told the risk.
Looney Toons !
Sorry but laws of the country govern all citizens. You don’t have any right to endanger lives by spreading virus. Worship online or once your congregation shows up, they need stay there till this is over or go into quarantine to protect the public.
Those idiots want people to believe that worships can take place only on their churches. They’d be brought to the court of civilization.
show us evidence
🤔 Hmmm, I believe I’ve read that in some Bill of Rights, our Country has. For ALL religions, not just yours! Infect yourselves!
Mother Nature created the virus, science will cure it. God has nothing to do with it
Yet more evidence that god does not exist. Let them congregate and let them die.
Just put them all together, it will solve the problem. Let them join with 'their maker'. That's the psychology behind it....
This preacher has lost his mind. God gives you the ability to worship Him but it's not guaranteed. Re-read the Bible and the massive struggles the early Christians had or the struggles Christians have in many other countries like China and the most of the Middle Eastern countries
truth
It's all about the money.
Rev. Tony and the rest of the church reverends need to keep their wallets full. That's why they need their followers to keep coming back, no matter what.
Prophet Jesus (PBUH) had only one scripture. Just wanted to know how many are there now? And which man made version does these churches use? common sense
People are so ignorant and won’t listen
Perhaps we’ll see how your god takes care of you when your sheep are inflicted with COVID19. COVIDIOTS
Okay then go ahead.
Well, we are all gonna need a god or higher power to save us if we continue to have idiots like this man not listening to health care leaders and scientists.
They’re going to have a bad time. I sincerely pray for the best for his congregation....from the safety of my own home
As a Catholic is sad to say but a by disobeying they are out of the will of God
Assholes
What is it about religion, that fails to understand science.
But you ask man to pay no taxes. No thanks, pay tax on what you fraudulently collect
God's up there like ... 'I ... I don't know him ...'
The more Trump supporters get together in large groups, the better.
Yes but at the same time you know why he isn’t stopping this virus with a snap of his fingers himself ? Because globally we aren’t on our knees giving up ! We’re all sinners and racist etc. that’s why !
Let them into the church and seal the doors coz everybody else has the right to be protected against the virus and the stupidity that carries it.
Soon these shepherds, whose responsibility it is to feed and protect their flock, will have no sheep...and the lambs will fear the shepherd and will not follow...
Well you may meet your maker sooner than you think , with that kind of thinking! Bon voyage
One does not need to be in a church to pray. in these scary times it’s plain stupid to put lives at more risk when it appears that social distancing is working.
No you’re right, you don’t get your rights from our government to worship. But you get tax exemption under our government. If that’s the case then your tax exemption should be null and void. Pay taxes like the rest of us.
Darwinism at work!
TrumpIsALoser
Ok
Then let them go to church.....but they can’t leave and go home, can’t go to the store...they have to stay there, let em pray the virus away allllllll day!
Willful_Ignorance
Has anybody wondered how the hookers are doing i this time of self isolation? I mean you can only take self isolation so far. i'm jus sayn'
Wherever 2 or more are gathered in His name, there He is also. This you can do and StayHome even digitally. God is not limited in reach. excuses Bs
But religious prayer is not isolated in a confined space. Does the pastor want the money that his parishioners will bring to church? 🤔
The Lord also gave people brains and the ability to reason. Some either choose to ignore reason or they have no brains.
He’s going to kill people this pastor needs to be jailed
Carry on then...Jim Jones, jr
Please tell me this a joke 😤
Pretty sure Jesus said, 'the kingdom of god is not within any four walls, but within you and all around you.' 'Rev' Spell, you're supposed to lead your flock not put them in danger. Do your sermons remotely and pull your head out of your a**
But they will get us sick not just them.
Jim Jones flew his cult followers to Guyana and convinced those poor souls to commit mass suicide . This cult leader is committing the same crimes using school buses and covid-19. If anyone gets sick, he should be charged with crimes against humanity.
Oh good! God will make it go away. Y’all need to calm down. Christians can’t get the rona, people!. All they have to do is pray and he will make it go away
This is about whether or not government has the power to close down churches, which it does not have according to the Constitution. Why Is’ent the government ordering all print media shut down?
God has sent the coronavirus to wipe the dumb Jesus freaks and the crooks who run their churches. Ty God! 🙏🙏🙏
God said Give Caesars what is Caesars (obey the government laws) if one misses church the Lord is not keeping attendance, salvation is by Grace not by deeds. The one thing the government can't do is to force me to deny my God and my faith.
It’s true that we should obey God that man but in situation like this I am sure God would definitely be pleased if you were to worship Him virtually/at home.
When they fall sick tell them to stay in the church
So wait for a vaccine from God I guess?
Does he think God only comes to a building?
I’m sure god will send them the ventilators needed due to their stupidity. Good luck folks!
Man? You mean Wash your hides & hide inside science? Wow.... So revolutionary...... Libtards LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder
Mark my words, one (or more) of the congregation is gonna get sick.
No one cares about freedoms or constitutional rights. They don't keep people from getting sick and potentially dying. HELLO..
God has never said, 'you must go to a building and worship me', not once. So many are lost.
They can still worship God virtually or in their homes. This pastor is disobeying God by disobeying. Authority AND putting his congregation PLUS the rest of the community in harms way. Unfortunately that church leadership is a very bad example. Pray for that congregation.
People needn’t go to a house of worship to obey the commands of god. Be good, stay away from evil. That’s the biggest religion. Moreover god hasn’t build churches temples and mosques, man has.
Mankind's oldest delusion , religion.
So, they want to meet God, like soon, huh? Super.
All about that money!
That’s selfish.
Have there been any mosques or synagogues conducting services? I'm not sure would have the same enthusiasm to shame them as they do Christians.
As Jesus said : « Father, forgive them cause they don’t know what they do. »
There’s that thing called live-streaming...and no, it’s not something used at St Patrick’s Cathedral.
Might as well followed Jim Jones and drank the Kool aid.
Why? Because they can’t collect their “offerings” thru zoom?
Stupid Rev. Everybody obeys God. Don't be arrogant with your faith. Do you really read the bible
Thankfully most of STL is catholic and we don’t go to mass as it is🤣 You don’t need a church to pray or connect with a higher power. Start issuing massive fines, bc people don’t respond to jail time, plus jail is a bad idea right now.
Let him not read his Bible sparingly, the same Bible tells us to respect the authorities God has placed over us, Romans 13:1. Furthermore, it says that we should quarantine in times of pandemics, Isaiah 26:20. Hey basics of the faith right, then you can say, you don't get rights
Obviously, his god only lives in church and nowhere else. Such a shame that his god is not with hi everywhere😜😜😜
Didn't Jim Jones say something similar? That didn't end well, did it?
I am betting God isn't on board with that decision.
Omg. And how many vivid cases will there be in the next week. Craziness
Stupid people always, always find a way to do stupid things. Going to get a lot of people killed. Sad.
We should abide by these new laws, as Paul teaches: 'Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God' (Romans 13:1).
There are 6 things that HE hates, 7 that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes,a lying tongue,and hands that shed innocent blood,a heart that devises wicked plans,feet that make haste to run to evil,a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.
Just when you think the southern states couldn’t get any dumber. Baton Rouge, Louisiana takes the lead. Well played. To the south 🍻🍺
🤭💩💦 money 💵 is not coming in. Bills need to be paid 🙏💊💪
It’s funny but when you really think about it...Jesus did not need to be in a church to preach...church is about getting someone tax free money.
Church leader who don't know the Word.
😡🥵
Meh this is natural selection let em go to church
Submission to the Authorities 'Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God...' Romans 13:1-5
It’s not about obeying man. Christ walked amongst the lepers and cured them. If you walked amongst the lepers you would contract leprosy and become one of them. You are not Christ .You are mortal and that’s why they put up signs saying : Beware. Lepers Live Here. Turn Back. Now!
Don’t ask us for pity when you didn’t listen. Hope god protects you all.
It’s not about God is about greed greed greed. Gods church is my home at the moment and my body his temple if I am sick I will not be able to serve those who need of me like he would want me to. So I am taking care of me to care for others like my family and friends in Gods name
We all know this is not about God but about the money.
Rev. Tony is correct. If you’re a believer, God created the heavens and the Earth. Light. Mankind. And ignorance. These pastors and their congregants who gathered for worship in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic seem to have been blessed with an extra helping of the latter.
Die then
And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others...But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen... Mathew 6:5-6
The capitalist gospel. Amen, send money.
Bible says obey the rules of the land.
Stupid! Our church streamed mass live on Facebook so everyone could still celebrate Palm Sunday safely.
It was a kooky church that spread the disease in South Korea. This is exactly the same thing here. Please think your fellow man and stay home. I believe your God will understand.
🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Y'all catch the Rona and die it's on them. God won't protect you from that
Irresponsible reckless and arrogant to put lives in danger
I was talking to a guy that his church still congregating about 90 souls, and he keep telling me that they have the right to congregate by the first amendment and God will save them, I reminded him that God is sending them messages to keep distance, to stay home.
You still have the right to worship, just not visit a building with many others in the middle of a pandemic. Ever heard of video streaming?
Yeah, God will protect you ! /This is going to be the most thorough cleanse of stupid the US has ever seen.
And when his congregation is dead and gone, assuming he’s still alive, will he feel the same?
Except when it comes to telling the TRUTH. 😒 Edomites pathetic
Can you give us an actual, proven time that 'God' has appeared and said that?
yes please congregate 😂
Rev Spell, in the Bible we are taught in the Letters of Paul that we are also to obey the laws of man.
You get the right to have the mortician do your hair & nails 💅.
Yeah, well, God doesn't want us to spread Coronavirus either.
Quarantine them all!!!
and just who does that idiot think created the virus?
God says stay at home
That's good: then you and your parishioner stay quarantined in your Tabernacle for 40 days,,,, freedom of prayer not freedom to infect other people!!!!
Be careful!*
Let them go to the church and worship then bring the state police or national guard and don’t allow them to leave the church. If all them dumb fucks die chalk it up to God’s will.
while the rest of us are at home trying to flatten the curve and avoid spreading the virus to protect the ones we love...just so incompetent people start ignoring the science and disrepect everyone’s efforts.
Attending church is not a necessary part of prayer
Why the need to worship, physically close by, as a group? Why is worshipping at home not worshipping?
PRO LIFE? WTF
Two hands on the guilt trip sensor... hands out... time to till
Selfish souls
What if the next thing you obey is God calling you home? But, because of you, he also calls your neighbor and that store clerk and the ICU nurse whose job is was to care for you. Folks not ready for that summons, but without a choice, all because God’s love made you an idiot.
Lock them in.
if they gave a rats ass they would hold church remotely...God's, state's .. that's not the point.
'Thou shalt not kill'.... Therefore STAY HOME
R these ppl more interested in collecting money then saving their congregation? The Bible says be obedient to superior authorities! It’s not going against God if u don’t go to church. Find other ways to congregate that don’t jeopardize ppl. ZOOM!!!
They cant get money. That’s why. Their customers cant come
The only gift these lightweight pastors can give to a congregant who dies from coronavirus is the gift of burial. They don't have the power to raise them from the dead like Jesus did. Moses parted the red sea. These pastors cannot even part water in the sink or a bowl.
Go ahead! Commit mass suicide! Don’t come near my house.
Get those people out of that church and away from each other.
Hypocrites, who spend every waking moment trying take away people’s rights!!!!
And now you have the virus.
Well God gave you a brain and common sense for a reason.
I suppose the ones that gather will be seeing god sooner than later.
I hate to tell the Rev Spell but God gave us 10 laws. 'Keep the Sabbath holy' was one. There was nothing about going into a building to worship. Those where made up by man. So listen to the medical personnel God did give them the brains.
God Says Says Stay Home.
We'll see where that gets u shortly.. better pray hard
