Are you guys all getting it? I mean the vaccine. Conspiracy theories are abounding. It reminds me of all the worry over getting a credit card of many yrs ago. Because cashless society and the antichrist. Then the illuminati.The great reset. . .
There are some very close to me who afraid of getting it. They listen to Jimmy Baker et al. Is there any truth to all the conspiracy theories? I have no idea. I just don't see any point in all the fear. To me it's just medical science moving ahead. Medical science in some ways has done a great deal of good for society. Vaccines mostly rid us of childhood diseases polio and it looks like maybe malaria is the horizon.
As far as putting stuff in us to control us I can't see it. For 2 reasons. One is I don't think people are smart enough to pull off something like that. The other reason is that God is in control that endtimes are moving forward but things are not going to happen ahead of Gods time. Until then I'm just going to enjoy my life.
For me personally I just trust the Lord for my health. Lots to say on that and its been discussed here in detail in times past so I won't add to it except to say if the motivation is fear then that's not faith.
I got the jab the other day. My reason was I just want to be able to travel and its looks like it will be much easier if you have it. Otherwise I wouldn't bother.
Anyway those are my thoughts.

Mark has been Marked! (Joking, of course!)
Anyway, I think one of the reasons for so much suspicion is the fact that this "vaccination" doesn't seem to be a vaccination. This alone makes it seem as if someone, some entity, or something, is pulling the wool over peoples eyes.
I fully agree that having fear as a motivation, whether to take or not take the shot, is lamentable.
I'm not going to be taking it because I don't need it... I'm not a world traveler like you! The only reason that I can see to take the shot is fear of getting the condition (loving thy neighbor isn't apparently on my radar!) Just because there might be another reason for NOT taking the shot, and it's based on fear too, doesn't mean I'm betwixt a rock and a hard place--both fear based!
Blessings,
William

No, I'm not getting it, don't see any need for it myself. I don't get flu shots or any of the others they offer free for those with Medicare coverage.
I don't think negatively concerning those who do, but I bet HEF will chew you out when you get to heaven.
