Bob Leone 1,977 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Acts 4:19 "But Peter and John answered and said to them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge." This Sunday has special meaning to me. We are holding church service. President Trump says that we can. Governor Newsome says we can. But our county has forbidden it. We will be following all of the CDC recommendations to protect our people. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

William D'Andrea 613 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Be patient. It looks like a good reason for Contra Costa County in California to face a multitude of law suits; along with many other State and local Governments, when it comes to their handling of the coronavirus. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately the Supreme Court Chief Justice sided with the majority in a 5-4 vote to give Gov's the right to allow such a thing. Churches seem unfairly singled out in contrast to other groups. Peaceful civil disobedience may be the only way to go before long. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The first century church met under persecution. this is mild compared to then. All they have threatened us with is misdemeanor charges and fines. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
