Looks like a liberal pro-Marist pro-abortion governor is just being consistent!!
First, the governor shuts down anything that threatens his political ambitions under the disguise of a “COVID shut down” while at the same time he’s promoting Marxist group activities and gatherings that spread Marxist propaganda (a serious political virus) which is more dangerous and more deadly than the COVID virus!!
Deads due to the >>Marxist virus<< far out number deaths due to COVID!!!
The Marxist ploy a really great propaganda trick!!!
First, you pretend to protest injustices (that are perceived but never proven)!
Second, you allow and praise anarchists (like Marist rebel groups BLM and Antifa) by giving them access to any sort of venue they want to further their violent atrocities against the innocent while at the same time you lock down those who disagree with you!! WHAT A GREAT PLOY!!
But you do it ALL in the name of “looking out what‘s best for you”.
I hope the “pastor” wins the lawsuit against the Maxists.
I also think the COVID shutdown is more hype that help. We’ve had far worse pandemics in the past and have never resorted to such ridicules measures.
If the COVID was really that much more dangerous, why isn’t the governor concerned about the group exposure of his Marxist friends!!!???
I’m sure someone is going to accuse me of minimizing COVID. I’m not minimizing, I’m rather shedding light on the media hype surrounding COVID. Yes, we take reasonable precautions but we don’t lock down in a state of irrational fear!!!
As more information comes-to-the-fore, we’re finding that the COVID scare got its start with exaggerated computer models that were pandemicly and falsely wild!!
In the meantime, I’m sure our enemies are looking on with a high degree of satisfaction!! I think they’ve concluded that this generation of people scare really easy.
It’s fairly obvious, this fearful generation will stampede on their own kind and destroy themselves like scared animals!! Prime for an easy Marxist revolution (take over)!!
The government has the right to do as they are with the church people, as most have taken the 501C3 Tax exempt status, which places them under CEASAR, not Messiah.
GOD Almighty is not responsible for what the 501C3 business says or does, as they want what man wants.
GOD Almighty says pay taxes, man says you do not.
Read the article with eyes being open by the Holy Spirit, to see that the people have been brainwashed into believing that they need the church system in order to Worship and assemble.
Remember, do believers gather according to how the church says to gather, OR as GOD Almighty says in 1 Corinthians 11 - 14
Messiah takes responsibility for what He creates and builds, Only once did Messiah take responsibility for what man has done, that was when He went to the cross.
Messiah is not responsible for what says or does that is not according to His Word.
California Church: Not Gathering ‘is disobedience to the Lord’

In an ongoing religious liberty battle, a multi-campus church in California is suing the state for unfairly targeting houses of worship while encouraging statewide protests. Pasadena-based Harvest Rock Church (HRC), part of Harvest International Ministry (HIM), filed a lawsuit Saturday, claiming that Gov. Gavin Newsom’s temporary ban on singing in churches and gathering for in-person worship and in-home Bible study is unconstitutional.
HIM, with 162 churches in California, is being represented by Liberty Counsel, which says its request for a preliminary injunction is being expedited in federal court.
Liberty Counsel: State Can’t ‘micromanage’ worship
HRC emphasizes that Gov. Newsom’s pandemic-related orders place unreasonable burdens on religious expression while he’s simultaneously encouraging mass protests against racial injustice. Its lawsuit states: “The governor cannot claim a compelling, legitimate, or even rational interest in his orders when he has permitted and encouraged mass gatherings of thousands of protesters to engage in the very activity he claims poses a massive danger to California if it takes place in plaintiff’s churches.” Throughout the summer, Newsom has publicly thanked protesters and even taken steps to protect their rights.
Mat Staver, founder of Liberty Counsel, says Newsom “cannot disregard the First Amendment and ban all in-person worship in private homes and churches. Nor can the state micromanage the form of worship by banning singing or chanting. The governor is not the High Priest over all religions.” Staver says, “There [are] not two First Amendments—one for protests and one for houses of worship,” adding that Newsom’s “discriminatory treatment is unconstitutional.”
To prevent the spread of COVID-19, Newsom’s July 1 order limited attendance at indoor worship services to 100 and banned singing and chanting. As the virus spread, however, shutdowns resumed July 13, with all indoor worship services and gatherings once again shuttered in some California counties. Also included in the shutdown are gyms, salons, malls, and indoor protests. The state cites research suggesting that “the odds of an infected person transmitting the virus are dramatically higher [at indoor operations] compared to an open-air environment.”
Harvest Rock Church: Not Gathering ‘is disobedience to the Lord’
In its filing, HRC contends it’s unable “to fulfill its vital ministry and sincere religious beliefs without gathering together in person,” adding that online services aren’t effective. The church also maintains that not meeting for corporate worship “is disobedience to the Lord for which [the church] will be held divinely accountable.” Times of trouble, it adds, call for even louder singing than usual.
On Facebook, HRC posts, “This is a defining hour in American history.” The congregation, it notes, “is rallying…to take a stand against the unprecedented overreach from an elected official telling the church how to worship.”
In a message posted online, HRC Pastor Chê Ahn says, “There is something larger at play here; there is a spiritual battle that is taking place over our nation and over our state.”
Though most Facebook comments support the church, one says: “You are NOT fighting the first amendment. It is NOT discriminatory to work to save lives! You do NOT need a building to be the church. Please, I beg you, stop unnecessarily risking people’s lives. I know people [at Harvest], and I do not want them at risk because of your poor leadership and mixed-up priorities.”
Unfortunately we now have a law that you must wear a **MASK** in my hometown where all the churches are closed.
EBAY has a wonderful washable reusable **MASK* with the following words for $7.95 free delivery and no tax with delivery in just 4 days. The beautiful message on the white on black mask Is
**JESUS**
**LOVES**
**YOU!!**
Actually Jesus does **LOVE EVERYONE** since anyone can **LOVE AND OBEY JESUS AND GO TO HEAVEN*
Besides passing out tracts in all your stores you can put Scripture on the back of your car in 2 inch letters and continuously circle a busy intersection in the middle lane so that about 150 people every hour can read God's Word.
On the back of my car I have the following Scripture in beautiful 2 inch psychedelic letters that change colors in the sun. **
John 14:23: Jesus says, "If you love Me obey My teaching then My Father will love him and We will come to him and make Our home with him!**"
** READ GOD's WORD DAILY ACTS 17:11 THEN DO WHAT IT SAYS** JAMES 1:22
**WORK, SO THAT YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SHARE WITH THOSE IN NEED** EPH 4:28
** LOVE YOUR NEIGHBORS AND LOVE ALL YOUR ENEMIES** LUKE 6:27-31
On the rear side windows I have :
**LOVE OBEY JESUS**
** PRAY TO YOUR CREATOR**
**READ GOD'S WORD**
This is an excellent way to spread God's Word and producing **FRUIT** now that the churches are closed!!
*}**JESUS SAYS, "I CHOSE YOU SO THAT YOU MIGHT BEAR **FRUIT**, **FRUIT THAT WILL LAST**!"
"John 15:1-5,16: Jesus says, "I am the true vine, and My Father is the gardener, He cuts off every branch in Me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear **FRUIT** He prunes so that it will be even more **FRUITFUL**. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in Me as I also remain in you. No branch can bear **FRUIT** by itself; it must remain in the vine, Neither can you bear **FRUIT** unless you remain in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches. If you remain in Me and I in you, you will bear **MUCH FRUIT**; apart from Me you can do nothing... You did not choose Me but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear **FRUIT**--**FRUIT** that will last!!!"
Matthew 21:43: Jesus says to Israel, "The Kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a people who will produce **FRUIT**!"
Matthew 13:23: Jesus says, "But the one who received the seed that fell on good soil is the man who hears the **WORD AND UNDERSTANDS IT**. He produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown."
Luke 8:15: Jesus says, "But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the **WORD**, retain it, and by perseverance produce a crop."
If a person goes into a church, then we have example of Jesus going into the synagogue, and instead of His testimony being welcomed, they attempted to stone Him. That is because the Holy Spirit has no place with man.
Luke 4:16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.
Luke 4:25 But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land;
26 But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.
27 And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.
28 And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath,
When a person believes in the righteousness of Jesus Christ, (rarely given to anyone by the Father to believe ) they also give the same testimony to man by the Holy Spirit, and this is how the world hates you the same way as it did Jesus for no cause...
John 15:22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin.
23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
24 If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.
25 But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
Bringing the right ways of the Lord, to anyone, or any place that does not truly believe in the Holy Ghost, means the same result as when they hated Christ and tried to stone Him, you will be rejected, resisted, and unwelcome, and it would tell you the same place( church) is not for you either, so God gave commandment, how to keep the church without evil doers, and if we cant check the people who claim to believe in Christ, then we are non believers ourselves....
Now false teachers teach, that we cant stop sinning, fornicating, coveting, but the verses instruct us to not be with the worldly men who do these ways, nor to ever be near those who claim to be a believer and really are a coveter and a fornicator, who are WICKED PERSONS...
1 Corinthians 5:9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:
10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.
11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolator, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?
13 But them that are without God judgeth. THEREFORE PUT AWAY FROM AMONG YOURSELVES THAT WICKED PERSON.
1 John 5:18 WE KNOW THAT WHOSOEVER IS BORN OF GOD SINNETH NOT, BUT HE THAT IS BEGOTTEN OF GOD KEEPETH HIMSELF, AND THAT WICKED ONE TOUCHETH HIM NOT.
