Yes - covid like the flu is here to stay. Since certain age group is more vulnerable - I use precaution and get the vaccine, which will aid me and overcoming it if I would happen to catch it.

And that is not taking away from the power of God - decades ago there was a scripture which apparently has been taken out it, saying healing is in the herbs. And in today's Bibles it still tells us that the leaves of the Tree of Life is for healing in the Book of Revelation. God is not against medicines.

The Hebrews used herbs, hyssop and such for ailment / sickness.

God is not against medicines.

True…God is NOT AGAINST “medicines” He has Provided:
Herbs, Minerals, His Word, His Spirit of Salvation.

God IS NOT FOR “consumption” of POISONS.

Nearly Every man-made compound encouraged for a mans consumption COMES WITH (fine print, typically to the consumer, unknown, or ignored) NEGATIVE Warnings.

He did get the glory. He created people smart enough to make a vaccine that helped me.. He gets all the glory.
The shot got the glory . Should have said IT was DUE TO GOD that i did not get so sick.
cause as i wrote above i know vaccinated and unvaccinated . The ONLY and i do repeat ONLY
reason you did not get as SICK, WAS GOD . many took that shot and got very sick from covid , EVEN DIED.
as well as some who did not get vaccinated . That shot wont get no honor from me . GOD WILL .
SO the next time we be typing let us GIVE GOD the GLORY .

I absolutely agree with Natural remedies that come from the plants that God has provided.

I'm not in agreement with chemical manmade experimental drugs however.

I just got my dad's highblood pressure medication delivered from Osco's pharmacy.
On the receipt is a coupon for 10% off your groceries for every immuniazation you get.

No joke folks. Inflation is hitting the supermarkets, so we'll help you with the costs, just get the jabs.

I dont know about you all, but bribery don't work with me, never did, never will.

BTW, Kevin McCarthy just gave his resignation notice.
I wonder if it's because they took the speaker seat away from him, or he's afraid he'll end up like George Santos.
Either way, I thought that was interesting news.

BRIBERY…is one of the oldest forms of cunning trickery.

Entertaining Magicians hone their skills with full well knowledge to attempt to TRICK an other with illusions.

CUNNING trickery, IS a means to TRICK another without them Knowing they ARE being TRICKED.

THAT ^^ is the psychobabble a long sitting politician strives to achieve.

God gave medicine, even in the OT.

Prosperity gospel is not from gods. God does not promise to heal everyone by miracle.

PS, I never said the shot healed me, I was not sick when i got the shot..

To the OP, please do not listen to the naysayers. To be honest, this is the worst place to come to for advice on health issues.

Talk with your doctor, and talk to several doctors if needed. Pray to God about it as I did. I have moderate to severe asthma. There are immunocompromised family members in my life. When I prayed to God, I was given peace about getting the vaccine. God gave me the go-ahead to get vaccinated. I haven't gotten boosters, but that's because of me and not the boosters.

So, get advice from several doctors and pray about it. Just don't get your advice here on health matters.

And yes, I just gave my advice, but my advice is not to listen to people here and go elsewhere.
Gen 3:6
And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

You know, if I left God out, you would have a point, but I did not, so your reply is irrelevant.

That's what she said:

Gen 3:2
And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
Gen 3:3
But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
Gen 3:4
And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

I'm just toying with ya... sorry
I seen a lot of bad things this jab is doing to a lot of people and I just dont want to see anyone get hurt unneccessarily.
As I said in the beginning...
You do you and I'll do me.
I'm not telling anyone not to get the jab, I'm just putting out the warning labels the government delibrately neglects to give.

Maybe, just maybe if people thought of others instead of themselves, the government wouldn't have stepped in

Of course you are right....

As all these anti-this, that, and the other make their claims all they talk about is "me, me, and me" as in "my rights" (as if they deserved any) and "my freedoms " as if they actually did anything to gain them.
then they disparage every installed leader we have with every accusation they can think of and have no real knowledge if they are true or not.

Jesus never once disparaged Caesar or Pilate. Didn't even come close to doing so. In fact Jesus did the exact opposite. Said something about how they would have no power unless God deemed it to be that way.

In Daniel it says that God sets up leaders or deposes them.

So these "anti" people seem to have no problems whatsoever defying God or Jesus with their own ideas as to whats good or bad.

Then, even though they have never spent a single day anywhere near a medical college they precede to give out medical advice. (Which is illegal, immoral, and unethical)

And these "Disobedient to God" lot seem to have no conscience about those that have lost careers, fathers, and mothers because they listened to their antivaxxer advice. It's as if their conscience has been seared with a hot iron...and they have no feelings about it whatsoever.

Which begs the question: Are they Christians?

Some people need to get a sense of humor, especially in the medical field. Without one, you won't make it very long.
Neither one of us is going to convince the other.
Those who know and question so-called authority will do what they do.
And those who put their trust in the government and big corporations will do what they do.
No amount of evidence or facts can convince either side one way or the other.
They got us right where they want us.

I just refuse to play their games.

When protesting in the streets, not social distancing and burning cities down is ok but going to church is bad..
I'm sorry, I have to question who's side are they on.
I know who's side I'm on. And it's not Big Pharma.

As far as anti-people go...
It's the anti people that refuse the mark of the beast that get the white robes.
Even though God gave the beast authority over the nations.

As Peter said:

Act 5:29
Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.

And I believe Peter was speaking to the High Priest at the time, whom God put in that seat..no?

And ofcourse Daniel should of stopped praying to God because Nebuchadnezzar said so.. right?

Better if people just say nothing and let the sheeple go over the cliff I guess.
But thats not what Christians do. Christians try to prevent harm from happening even if it looks like we're putting stumbling blocks in front of very stubborn people.

And yes it is about me and my God given rights that no man has a right to take from me or anyone else.
You want to kill your baby, by all means thats your right. God will judge.
You want to take an experimental drug that has shown to have very bad even deathly side effects, By all means go for it.
But you will never be able to accuse us of not saying, we told you so.

Oh blah blah blah...

Ditto.

The government was trying to slow down a pandemic. I have no issues with them doing lockdowns and making mask wearing mandatory.

I am well aware of the US Governments LIMITED Constitutional authority over citizens, and their attempts to skirt around their LIMITED authority by and through their umpteen Unconstitutional agencies and policies and ridiculous lengthy porky bills.
The “epidemic” was not a surprise or unplanned event, but rather a means for the UN to meet an AGENDA goal.

don't feel like it is a threat to my liberty as an American as I knew it would be temporary.

The “vax”…the putting INTO a persons BODY is NOT “temporary”.

I had no feelings ever that my liberty was in any kind of jeopardy.

You chose to go along…with the whole “human experiment” …sequester yourself, wear a mask, get the vax.

[QUOTE It was something that needed to be done because and I seen it with my own eyes, many people weren't doing anything to slow the spread on their own. [/QUOTE]

What you saw with your own eyes was PEOPLE exercising their God given LIBERTY…and you didn’t LIKE it.

The government had to step in.

Why? Did you VOTE for a DICTATOR or a SERVANT to be seated and PROTECT the citizens God Given LIBERTY?

Where IN the entire US Constitution is the US Federal Government given Authority over Diseases or an individuals Choice to care for their own Health?

Maybe, just maybe if people thought of others instead of themselves, the government wouldn't have stepped in.

The governing seated SERVANTS, ARE UNDER a FIXED OBJECTIVE they SWEAR to uphold WITHIN that FIXED OBJECTIVE…and are seated to PROTECT LIBERTIES….

YOUR Choice was YOU exercising YOUR LIBERTY to DO as YOU were TOLD to do.

See the “your, you, your, you”…. Humm, should I take that as you not having a care about others?

This is my opinion and likely those who are vehemently against the vaccine and mask wearing will not agree with me and that's fine.

And my opinion is I don’t care what YOU choose for yourself … NOR should YOU care about what I choose for myself….(without an implication I have NO care for others)…!

As you are determining others to be anti-, this, and anti- that….doesn’t that make you anti- THEM?

Who is accountable for YOU, if not YOU?

I am anti-corruption, lies, cheating, underhanded back-room deals, governments make between themselves and the People’s Liberties are always the bargaining chip…

You should wonder WHY their meeting are in Secret :rolleyes:

Many people are live today and have improved lifestyles because of medicines from science and doctors, including myself.

God instituted alcohol for people near death and the super poor people that were suffering back then in Proverbs 31:6-7. It was probably the first non natural substance used for pain medication and too alleviate unhealthy stress. There are more examples of medicines used in the bible. And Paul recommended a little wine in the New Testament. Hmmm.

All medicine is a type of poison, including things we normally consume. But we consume them in lesser amounts to have a desirable outcome. Heck even water is dangerous in large amounts. And a lot pf medicines come from the natural resources of the rain forest. Amazonian ethnobotany and the search for new drugs - PubMed

I'm sure once we all have a terrible case of cancer or some other excruciating illness the first thing we will do is turn to God, and when his answer is no, then the doctors. Hopefully we don't turn to wicca ideas of herbal remedies. Hopefully we turn to the time tested and studied medicine of professionals.

I personally think that God perhaps doesn't always heal people of things that doctors can fix. Why should he?

My doctor told me 8 years ago that fish was my friend.
He didnt prescibe any medications, just said to eat more fish, get more exercise, and stop smoking.
I don't like fish but I eat it a lot, exercise is almost impossible, and I'm still smoking.

I smoke menthol cigarettes. And they tried to ban flavored tobacco including menthol.

When I smoke menthol I think of Viks vapor rub that helps open clogged airways.
At the time many people were having respiratory problems. I kept smoking and I kept breathing.
I wondered why they was attacking only menthol and not all cigarettes.. and then it dawned on me...
Viks vapor rub.
They couldn't pass it because studies showed that most black people prefer menthol over regular cigarettes.
And at the time we were going through the black lives matter protests. So I figure they didnt want them getting upset and turning their burning looting and murder on them.

God created herbs for healing. And salt and and a lot of other things that grow naturally from the earth He created for our good.
He also created my DNA and I'm not convinced that man in his wisdom can improve what God himself has made.

It's the anti people that refuse the mark of the beast that get the white robes.

Just because we say yes now, doesn't mean we will when the mark comes. We Christians will know without a doubt that it is the mark and act accordingly.
