It's one thing to be arrested for preaching The Word of God!
Whole other ball game if your arrested for putting people's lives in danger by holding a church service! Maybe he doesnt buy the crisis bs Something fishy with your reaction ...............different religous denomination than you ?

If they were just clamping down on religious services I would be worried. The case now though is they are cracking down on everyone. I there was a Joe Biden rally and they turned a blind eye to that, yet stopped a church service, then we would have a constitutional issue.
Regardless of the law this preacher is showing blatant disregard for the health of his church members, possibly for a boost to his proud ego.
Our church last Sunday held our service over Zoom Meeting an internet App. It was great, that was a surprise to me since I'm not a big tech fan I can gather with others to work in a cabinet shop but can't gather to worship.This is what's fishy to me. As far as the church, it's members attended services of their own free will. If an arrest was to be made, they should have all been arrested for breaking .govs mandate. When a church makes the call, as my church has done, to not hold services that is perfectly fine and likely the smart thing to do. When .gov decides that you aren't allowed to meet and worship, that's tyranny. This article helps illustrate the difference between a "cabinet shop" and a church gathering. People generally sing at church, so really belt it out. 60 People attended a choir practice in Washington State and 45 end up with CV-19 at least one dead so far. https://www.heraldnet.com/northwest/dozens-from-skagit-valley-chorale-have-covid-19-and-two-died/

I had virtual church last Sunday via "Zoom Meeting", every household was connected via an internet zoom connection, it was great. Many of the these folks come from a place where they have actually suffered true religious persecution, I haven't heard any of them complain that what we are doing now is in any way persecution. We're just wimps and want everything our way a lot of the time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raDCEhCKa84

Being asked not to hold a church service to help save lives is not unbiblical! Being asked is fine, I've got no problem with it. Being told I can't is a whole different ball game. I believe that meeting regularly with other believers in person on a regular basis is an integral part of my faith, no different than reading my Bible or praying. 40 miles away I could get arrested for it.

I know the thinking part may be a problem. But try
Ive been wanting a solid debate. No need for the insult. Just asking if that is what you meant. You said no. Thanks.

i dont believe in god. i do believe in freedom. peaceable assembly does not threaten those who choose to isolate Who are these people that isolate? All of us have to go out for stuff some time. Those people go to church, go shopping, get gas and so on. They are helping in the spreading of the virus. I am all about freedom, right now I don't see an infringement, I see sacrifice for our fellowman.
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

If you are so stupid or reckless to risk your life on a false premise I guess you deserve your fate. However, that does not give you the right to put the lives of your family and friends in jeopardy.
