Covid Church-Ruler Cowards

Note, Church-rulers should impose only necessary things; things which Christ has made our duty, which have a real tendency to the edification of the church, and, as here (Acts 15:22-25), to the uniting of good Christians. If they impose things only to show their own authority, and to try people's obedience, they forget that they have not authority to make new laws, but only to see that the laws of Christ be duly executed, and to enforce the observance of them, page 159, Matthew Henry's Commentary, Acts to Revelation, volume 6. 

Obedience and observance. Observe, the Word of God; Obey the King of kings. 

Some human beings are pathetically dull, aren't they? in their repetitive attempts to command and control others. This type of human is exhausting, irritating, and has a tendency to suck the life force right out of those that try their very best, to make the most of relationship with them. Church-rulers, must not make up rules, or follow rules that God has not commanded, and yet ... the ancient tradition of thumbing noses at God Almighty continues without a hint of red faced shame. 

It is with much disdain that I write this blog. The cowards, blatant yellow bellied cowards, that dared to stand in front of empty seats and speak to their audiences from behind a monitor screen, about the dangers of covid and how, We will get through this; Jesus is with you, even though we can't be together, made me sick, and still causes my heart to beat rapidly with outrage, when I pull up the visuals from my memory. How dare they?

Now, dear reader, since the thin veil of facade has been torn asunder, we can see the cowards for who they are. Covid Church-Rulers, embraced the greatest lie of our generation, and spoon fed the vomit of propaganda to congregants, the very people they ought to have protectively laid down their lives for, by speaking Biblical truth. Drivel, that is what trickles from empty minds, down into lifeless throats, and out of the mouths of antichrist pastors ... I think of several pastors that I knew very, very well, and I consider them an embarrassment, and no matter what comes from their mouths, I declare they are not Christians, if they have not confessed the sin of being wrong, for wearing masks, for keeping distance, for closing and locking the doors of their "churches", and for keeping people OUT, while continuing to encourage monetary giving. O, dear reader, and if they dared to suggest covid injections, or took the poison in themselves, they are accessories to many a crime, including the criminal offence murder, of innocent babies, and all the test subjects that suffered and died to make vials and vials of injectable vile ingredients. 

I contend that church-rulers are Pharisees, and have the age old spirit of contradiction: they contra indicate God's commands, and are brazenly disobedient, hexing themselves and in turn, vexing everyone that sits under their false shepherd-hood. Anyone that has the God bestowed gift of discern, is now, if they did not originally, questioning what happened, to tilt the world sideways and hold it there? I picture a roller-coaster car hanging upside down, under the tracks, stopped and held in place with passengers starting to panic, while wondering, Will we die in this off-kilter position?

The only way to right ourselves is God straightening us out. The Bible does not impose, to impress: Jesus didn't come to throw a heavy yoke upon the necks of the vulnerable, he came to take the weight of sin off of all that know, the burden is crushing, and too heavy to bear. Covid is a spirit of oppression, and church-rulers/leaders inhaled this demon, letting it speak through them to the people that trusted them with their very souls. We go to church to learn about God and how we can be more like him, not to be handed a set of man-made rules that put us in peril, physically, emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually. 

I don't get many comments on my writing, except in private. People message me and give their opinions. I know that some pastors read my blogs, but they are cowards, and will not comment, because whether they admit it or not, they know they have sinned against the Lord, and the people he has given them to shepherd. I suggest, if you are a pastor, or church-ruler/leader, that embraced and shared the covid lie, you fall to your knees, plead for forgiveness before God, and then do the same in front of your flock, and resign immediately from your post, as unworthy to lead anyone. Perhaps your new found humility will save you from God's wrath. 

Ezekiel 34:1-12

And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto the shepherds; Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks? Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill them that are fed: but ye feed not the flock. The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled them. And they were scattered, because there is no shepherd: and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, when they were scattered. My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill: yea, my flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth, and none did search or seek after them. Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD; As I live, saith the Lord God, surely because my flock became a prey, neither did my shepherds search for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock; therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD; thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them. For thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out. As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of the places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day. 

Let us make muddy waters clear:

1. God instructed Ezekiel to prophesy against the shepherds of Israel

2. God indicts the shepherds with a Woe; rather than feeding the flocks, they fed themselves

3. The shepherds eat the fat (choice meat), clothe themselves in wool, eat from the fattened sheep, but do not feed the flock

4. The diseased have not be strengthen; the sick have not been healed, the broken have not been bound up (bandaged or put into a cast to recover)

5. The sheep that were driven away have not be brought back; the lost have not been sought after, found, and returned to the fold

6. With force and cruelty the shepherds ruled the sheep

7. The sheep were scattered, because there was no shepherd, and they became meat for the wild beasts ... when sheep are scattered, they do not have the protection a flock provides, and in their vulnerability, they get separated and singled out more readily, for predatory devouring

8. God's sheep wandered through mountains and over high hills, scattered all over the face of the earth, and no one went looking for them to gather them together again

9. God's flock became prey while the shepherds fed themselves ... in other words, they did not do their shepherding work, the work God had assigned them, rather, they feasted at the expense of the sheep

10. God is against the shepherds

11. God will deliver the flock from these shepherds and they will no longer be able to feed the sheep, or feed from them; God will deliver his flock from the mouths of the shepherds

12. God will search for, seek out, and deliver the sheep, that have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day

Matthew Henry hints at our duty as Christians. Shall I declare what our duty is, dear reader?

We are to believe in the one whom God hath sent. We are to care for, feed, clothe, shelter, orphans and widows. We are to declare Jesus Christ as King, Redeemer of Souls, the Good Shepherd that goes after the lost sheep, no matter how far they have travelled from his side ... These things edify and unite the church, the body of Christ, his bride. 

The covid-church-ruler-cowards, did nothing at all of what God employed them to do, in fact, they did the opposite, which is why I can with full confidence, accuse them of being hirelings, mercenaries, that fatten their wallets and stomachs, at the expense of the flock. 

For shame. 

If your church, your pastor and the staff or volunteers, followed covid protocols, they did you wrong, dear reader. My hope is that you do not trust sinners disguised as saints. If they fed you to the waiting wolves during covid, they will leave you as prey once more, when their own skin is threatened. Cowards run and hide, and must not be trusted as rulers or leaders.  

Yellow is a natural shade of yuck for weaklings.
