Jesus touched lepers and dead people and other sick people which was radical in his day both because it made him ceremonially unclean according to Jewish law, and also because it was just gross to touch sick and dead people since it could spread diseases and such, and there was no real medicine back then. Jesus, being not only fully God, but also fully man, was just as susceptible to disease as anybody else, and still made the effort to minister to those people.

^^^^^^
Interesting point (Jesus being susceptible to disease), most of the time we dwell on Jesus's Divinity and don't really think too much about the other aspect of Jesus; his humanity.

hard to fathom

If Jesus could heal people by touch or words, I don't see how he was fully susceptible to disease.

Wonder why no Muslims were arrested in FLA.? They are still having "school" at the Muslim center in Overland Park KS and I do not think the Muslims in FLA ever shut down their meetings, even after the christian preacher was charged with a crime.

I suspect it is because law enforcement and politicians were aware that Muslims would get violent if told they no longer had a recognized right to gather peacefully.

Jesus suffered various human sufferings being fully man along with fully God. He got hungry, he got tired, he got thirsty, he felt pain, he died. The Bible doesn't record him getting sick, but it's reasonable to believe that he was at least capable of getting sick.

Jesus knew his limits as a man and chose not to jump off any mountains. He had power to resist the devil and set him in his place behind Him. Jesus came with a purpose to save mankind. Had the Kung Flu killed him he would not have been able to do His work on the cross. He did not have His life taken from Him but gave it freely. He chose to give it in the open light on a hill and not have it taken from Him in a rat infested dark corner some where. So in one since he did have resistance to any disease the devil threw at Him, thus resist the devil and he will flee.

They should have lock the doors and kept them inside for 15 days or so. JMO

I thought the Bible instructs us to flee from evil?

Exactly, and thats why I am not going into any big crowds, I'm not Jesus nor do I in my self have the power to make a puppet out of the devil. Some grand standing preacher maybe makes puppets out of his congregation. Later if not sooner God will judge the congregation. Surely the sheep know their Masters voice, but I have raised sheep and they will follow a goat right past the executioner.

If Jesus had got the flu and died off it wouldn't have made for nearly as interesting of a story. Not a lot of people would have lined up behind someone that claimed to be the son of God and then got knocked off by the sniffles. On the same note it makes not much sense to read that Jesus was the only "human" to lead a sinless life and then somehow believe he was able to do that without divine intervention. If he had done it wholly as a "human" without any help from daddy then it would be something that could be duplicated today.

The state of Florida and the county that enforced this ban have determined that this action was most likely unconstitutional.

The church had prepared a federal lawsuit against the county that enforced the ban. Shortly before the suit was filed the county voted to overturn the church ban. They went even further when they decided that any future guidance the county may issue will be recommendations and not enforceable. Perhaps the timing is a coincidence.

The lawsuit has been put on hold. The church is still demanding retraction of certain statements, written guarantees, and charges being dropped. I suspect they will get all of these things because the county and the state are in cover your butt mode.

The state of Florida has also reversed course on this. Religious services is now essential. To take it a step further, the state of Florida amended the original order to prohibit local government from passing more restrictive restrictions. In short, the state is trying to limit the possibility of local restrictions rubbing off at the state level.

Put all of this together and it becomes pretty evident, the lawmakers who wrote this ban think it is most likely unconstitutional. When faced with a meaningful, legal challenge; they folded immediately. The stakes are high and legal ruling on this case would have far reaching implications. The most plausible explanation for the county and states actions is that the government's attorneys are telling them this not likely to be in the state's favor. The government does not run from fights it thinks it can win.

Here is a link for more details. It appears to be from the church's legal counsel.

Too bad it didn't go to court.

I said earlier that was the reason they opened gun stores back up. Wasn't applied correctly by picking and choosing what they close.

If they decided to fight it and win they win nothing and costs the state a minimum $100k, if they lost probably have to pay additional for the morons attorney fees! Not worth the fight either way, imo.

Yup!

Federal govt from what I understand still has only set forth "guidelines". Nothing official to date I do believe. All these executive orders are coming from govenors. From what I can see there is no athority given to govenors to do what they are doing.

Lol

Very tricky stuff!

Saw where DNR was requesting pictures of people fishing etc... Didn't understand that
