Are the coronavirus restrictions unGodly?

It's one thing to dislike the dictatorship- like restrictions, but now the question is, are they telling us to be unGodly? Taking a look at at it, I would have to say, yes. And here's my evidence ,why I believe so, the Bible states, "do not neglect the gathering of yourselves together".But if the law now forbids us to go to church, if the Bible says, DO NOT neglect the gathering of yourselves together,and the governor says we should, do we listen to an elected politician at the expense of disobeying God?Pastors have been arrested for holding church services.Second, evangelism...how can we hand out gospel tracts from 6 feet away? Third, God said,"Be fruitful and multiply.How can we be fruitful and multiply if the husband and wife are 6 feet apart? Uh huh..also,in the Lords prayer it states"Thy will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven."As it is in Heaven...do you think in Heaven we'll be wearing masks and standing 6 feet apart, and terrified of a sickness?Is that Gods will being done on Earth as it is in Heaven?Also, the Golden Rule.."love your neighbor as you love yourself". By walking around someone ,avoiding them like they're contaminated, that's being fearful of your neighbor, not loving them as ourselves, because we don't fear ourselves and treat ourselves as contaminated.Also, I think these instructions from unsaved people are given out of fear.God did not give us the spirit of fear. By "giving in" to these actions, to me, it's like announcing that we ARE afraid. When the storm was on the sea of Galilee, was Jesus afraid?Do you think Jesus in the time of coronavirus would have worn a mask and walked around people because He was afraid to catch it?Come on.Yes the Bible states honor our leaders,and Jesus said render unto Caesar what is Caesars.But like Christians are quick to also point out, UNLESS the rulers want us to do something that conflicts with Gods instructions.Proof--when the Antichrist comes, the Tribulation saints get martyred instead of take the mark.Because following Gods instructions supercedes following our human leaders instructions.So are the coronavirus restrictions un Godly?In most aspects of it, I think so.Remember, these people are looking at it from a worldly viewpoint, with worldly solutions. I understand, they don't know, they're unsaved. But if some want to do something unGodly, don't make me follow along too. Make the decision, which is stronger,God or coronavirus. Man cannot serve 2 masters, for he will love the one and hate the other.

Because I suspect I had a strain of this nasty virus, I do wear a mask out in the public. Everyone can make their own choice in that matter. But I do not ever want to have that nasty stuff again and refuse to risk my health because others don't care. It's just that simple.

Yeah everyone should make their own choice...I say that too, but they DON'T let you make your choices, the law forces you to do certain things.Also, people who I feel are "overdoing it" like wearing a mask 2 feet from their front door,"freak out" and "lecture" those who have faith.It's happened to me and to me, it's a form of harassment.Also, it's not just the mask, it's I can't have a preference to go in my bank to deal with my own money,I have to wait in the drive through for 45 minutes,I used to frequent certain restaurants, but now have to take out, which maybe I'd rather eat there, or go to a buffet. the thing is, I agree with you that everyone should make their own choice, but if the law in this former free country doesn't allow you to have a choice, the fearful ones are getting their way, but the rest of us who feel it's worth it to take chances to "do our thing"don't have that choice.It's like dicratorship.Also, if I get sick, so maybe I'll have it for 2 or 3 weeks, compared to months and months of these restrictions. Just waiting for things to get back to normal.P.S.-"Him who is weak eats only vegetables, but him who is strong eats meat".But they don't let us eat meat. The ones who eat vegetables are forcing the rest of us to eat vegetables like them.That's what I don't like, the forcing, not having a choice.

Your decision appears to be based on compassion for others and not fear. We all need Godly wisdom. Love over-rules fear.
God bless you.

But what noone understands is, they don't let you use your own wisdom..They're forcefully withholding things from those of us who want to choose otherwise..Gods wisdom tells me to not be fearful, to have faith that I won't get it..But the laws are telling me to ignore my faith and think like They're thing out of their own fears.

Wisdom is a spiritual blueprint for godly action. God's wisdom on itself may instruct us to be still. I can't pretend to know what is going on in every corner of the world but here in Toronto were under a state of emergency but I can still go out. Yes traffic has been somewhat depleted as well as some items in the markets. My life has changed somewhat. No large gathering are permitted but we still go out practising social distancing. I do my daily walk as well as others. It's a balancing act but I am vigilant of the possibility that the system may try to usurp my rights. Currently the officials are not tighening their grips. In fact some of our restrictions are being lifted. Wisdom leads to appropriate actions. For the time being I choose to be watchful because I can managed with the restrictions in place. They have not been overly restrictive in Ontario although we do need to mindful of all eventualities. I still praise God through phone, television, and internet. My Heavenly Father will honour my praises and worship. I pray that everyone moves through God's wisdom. I understand that situations can be different elsewhere. I pray for the well-being of all, and may God comfort those who are mourning, in Jesus precious name.

Things wont go back to normal for what we are use to, God's working behind the scenes, just be patient..

The main thing I don't like is,that those who are fearful are trying to convince the rest of us to be fearful.What I feel in the Spirit is that God told me I won't get it.So if in fact God revealed that to me, and these fearful people are giving me other messages, am I to listen to God giving me faith, or the fearful people speaking out of their own fear, and trying to convince me to be afraid?Remember the verse in the Bible,that mentions those who don't make it,"But as for...and the fearful are mentioned. To me, fear comes from a lack of faith,so why should I let them make me pretend I have this fearful lack of faith?If I don't really feel that way, I'd be living a lie, and who is the father of lies?So it's not just the inconveniences, it's , like why should I let them make me act fearful when Gods voice told me otherwise? Do we listen to God or man,if the 2 conflict?It's like if I'm following the law driving, doing the limit, and someone behind me is tailgating honking, etc. Because HE wants to do wrong, is one thing, but by pressuring me, now he's trying to force MY hand, make me speed. To me, same principle here. If they want to be afraid, fine--just don't try to force me to be.Do you see my point, now that I explained it?

When someone speeds up behind you it's up to you, do you speed up? or do you pullover to let them pass, or do you get a bumper sticker to support driving speed regulations to save lives..
