Churches spread the virus like wildfire. Do we care? NO!

And there is a reason why. Satan is very active in these last days. The Bible describes him as like a lion roaring, looking around for something alive to rip up and chew on. Christians are top of his list so when we see butchers attacking God's children we can identify the devil at work. Not just obviously malignant creeds do this, God assures us that even family members get in on the act but – and it's an important but – we are safe.
Luke 21:16-18 And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake. But there shall not an hair of your head perish.
To what extent is a virus different from a toxic grandmother? A double-crossing second cousin? How they killed you is surely trivial once you're deceased! That is why God made it clear that not one hair of your head shall perish. So often the moaning Minnies grind us down with the gloom and despondency of their own condition. That is nothing more than sedition against the Kingdom of Heaven, directly contradicting God.
I Peter 5:6-7 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

Because death is temporary. It's what happens afterwards, and where your soul ends up, that should be of concern.
Matthew 10:28
And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

This brings us to so-called "Churches" where God's advice is disregarded. Not only do they fret over contracting virus of a single hair but of the whole body! We know that is impossible (Jesus has promised) and that destruction of the body occurs in hell (Jesus has explained) so what remains to care about at all? Are they saying God is telling lies? If that's what they think they should say so – but then they can't really call themselves a Church due to the foundational tenet that God not only created the universe but knows all about it and is not only capable of saving us but has promised to do so. Once the principle of God being a liar is admitted the option of being part of His congregation flies out the window. Nowhere God and Jesus are held in such low esteem, where people care what happens, even care if they die in agony or are betrayed by kinsfolk to be executed, can really be considered a Church.
Fortunately for us, God is always consistent and we cast our care upon Him.
