Here we go......what a privilege to be a Christ follower during this time. Heavenly Father give us courage. Praying for our brother and family. 🙏🏼
You are wrong. Scripture is clear, you have to obey the authority. The authority did not stop you from worship the Father. They stop the gathering for health reasons.
Because of their disobedience to the Father, they brought judgement on themselves.
Rom 13:1 Let every being be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from Elohim, and the authorities that exist are appointed by Elohim.
Rom 13:2 So he who opposes the authority withstands the institution of Elohim, and those who withstand shall bring judgment on themselves.
Here is your second witness:
Tit 3:1 Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work,
and third witness:
1Pe 2:13 Be subject to every institution of man because of the Master, whether to the sovereign as supreme,
1Pe 2:14 or to governors, as to those who are sent by him for the punishment of doers of evil, and a praise for those who do good.
1Pe 2:15 Because such is the desire of Elohim, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men,
@@jacobtack2258 @Jacob Tack stop trolling me because you were proven to be a strawman, on several other subjects on another thread.
The government did they arrested him.. would let him out if he listened to the government...don't think you are actually listening to what is actually being said.
Hebrews 10(10:23-25)kjv- " 23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching."
If government says you have to worship budda, are you going to? Scripture says you shouldn't Exodus 20. Acts 4(4:19); Acts 5(5:29); 1 Cor 9(9:16)
Apostles were told to stop preaching and they still did preach out of respect of what God command them to do. As they obeyed God not man. And then in 1 Cor 9:16(kjv) "For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!" Woe is God's severest chastened is reserved for unfaithful ministers. Then seen in James 3:1(kjv) "My Brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation."
Daniel 3- Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, didn't obey Nebuchadnezzar to worship him.
You should read Daniel 6, Daniel still prayed to God against the man's law because it violated God's law
We should obey government until it violates God's commandments and not until that law directly affects us.
Now stop with your strawman points, you condemn Christians and Christ, so how can you claim Christ, you cant.

All churches must open. The pastors and members of the church can no longer sit on the fence... open the church!!!
Yes! Open all churches worldwide to full capacity now! Make sure it's non-violent and abiding by reasonable CDC Guidelines. Sanitize and sterilize your body temple and worship the One True GOD of the HOLY BIBLE together forever! Take temperatures, be masked up, physically distance in a safe-spacing please.

@@jacobtack2258 obedience to authorities is not absolute. And certainly when it comes to government dictating how, when and where the church worships it has crossed the line and stepped into a sphere God does not permit it to.
@@jacobtack2258 With all due deference and Agape' Love, it's more about what is right rather than about who is wrong here. *tone of tranquility* HOLY SCRIPTURE commands us to obey the authority, unless they are asking us to sin. The virus is a bio-weapon. How come Law Enforcement won't arrest Bill Gates and his ilk for the murder rampage they are on? Bill Gates openly discussed his insane plan (with charts and all) on Ted Talks, etc...for more than ten years before he chose to carry this lunacy out in Real Time. The virus and vaccines deception are crimes against humanity of astronomical proportion. GOD condemns all serial killing [Exodus 20 - Sixth Commandment], especially murder perpetrated by corrupt billionaires. This is not gossip or slander against anyone. This is not a so-called conspiracy theory. Please do the research for yourself. I'm not giving you second-hand information. This psychotic strategy in terms of Covid is all documented as having been hatched by Bill Gates and you can hear the crazy words coming out of his own mouth, if you listen to the data on CZcams, etc... Don't just merely take my word for it. I dare you to study it out on your own so you know the truth of what is behind the accusations against the China labs and so forth.

@AntiCap Atheist Christians obey Romans 13 when the government is in its lawful jurisdiction to uphold righteousness, punishing evil doers and rewarding those who do good. The covid bylaws interfere with Gods command for us to meet publicly for worship. Biblically, government was introduced to protect the God given rights of humans when there was murder of theft done to a human. When government infringes upon those rights we have the right to resist and make inquiry about their democratic duties, their job is to protect our rights and not take them away in the name of "safety".
@AntiCap Atheist Just because a government like Rome was barbaric, Romans 13 still commands us to obey government to a certain point (pay taxes, honor the king), but there were areas where Christians clearly disobeyed government, like in refusing to offer incense to the Emperor. This does not contradict the command in chapter 13. We are to obey government and live peaceably with all until their laws dictate our worship or force us to do something sinful. (See Daniel 3) (Acts 4)
@AntiCap Atheist From the very early times, Christians had to take definitive positions against oppressive and unlawful actions by governments/authorities, and stood for their faith in obedience to God's word. People should educate themselves before feeling compelled to comment on something.
@AntiCap Atheist Here I am a Follower of Christ, missionary and pastor's kid and I agree with "the atheist " completely on this issue. I'm embarrassed my fellow Christians' insistence that covid restrictions are persecution.... It's really deflating
@AntiCap Atheist Life comes from life. It has never been observed that life comes from dead matter. So it is only logical to conclude that the Eternal Absolute (=God) has life itself. If you believe that live comes from dead matter, the burden of proof is on your side.

Merciful Father, we thank You for keeping James and his family safe. What a true minister of Your Word they are 🙏🙏
I’m praying that this pastor will preach to the prisoners and staff I pray his jailing will not be in vain and I praying he’ll be safe and soon set free in Christ Jesus our Savior amen 🙏🏾
Sadly, they are keeping this Pastor in solitary confinement & are denying him any visits, including his wife.

@@angelamcentee1277 yup I included that too spot on
@@angelamcentee1277 Great verse, but read on a bit, we have to obey His Torah/Law. If you disobey His Word, like disobeying the authorities, that is willful sin, because you know you have to obey The Father:
Heb 10:26 For if we sin purposely after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a slaughter offering for sins,
Heb 10:27 but some fearsome anticipation of judgment, and a fierce fire which is about to consume the opponents.
On that note, the church has the Bible, and knows to keep the commands, but not calling Him by His Sacred Name and not keeping the Sabbath, which is the Torah/Law of Moses, see what Yahuah says:
Heb 10:28 Anyone who has disregarded the Torah of Mosheh dies without compassion on the witness of two or three witnesses.
Praying for God’s will in this situation
I’m Catholic.... what happened to courageous Pastor Coats is just wrong! He will be in my prayers. May God bless him. 🙏🏼

@@jacobtack2258 You really need to listen to Pastor Coates sermon on February 14. It was probably the best preached sermon on authority that I have heard of in this age. I have heard and preached from Romans 13 , Titus and 1 Peter and you are wrong in how you are reading it. When is the line crossed from our “authorities” and we stand against them.? It is also biblical (Samuel, Acts etc) that we practice civil disobedience when it is warranted and frankly this “pandemic” has been wildly overblown and people are living their lives in abject fear! I am not naive to say hat COVID isn’t serious, but the numbers speak for themselves.
@@darknappster7822 You don't get it, we can only disobey the authorities if it is against Torah. If people live in fear their relationship with their Maker is not good.
Even if things seem wrong to you, if our Father says obey, you better obey.
I don't know, but you probably know that the Yahudim/Jews were exiled to Babylon. A pagan nation with a pagan ruler. Yahuah said obey the authority and if they don't....:
Jer 27:6 ‘And now, I have given all these lands into the hand of Neḇuḵaḏnetstsar the sovereign of Baḇel, My servant. And the beasts of the field I have also given him to serve him.
Jer 27:7 ‘And all nations shall serve him and his son and his son’s son, until the time of his land comes. And then many nations and great sovereigns shall make him serve them.
Jer 27:8 ‘And it shall be, the nation and reign that do not serve Neḇuḵaḏnetstsar the sovereign of Baḇel, and the one that does not put its neck under the yoke of the sovereign of Baḇel, that nation I shall punish,’ declares יהוה, ‘with the sword, and the scarcity of food, and the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.
Jer 27:9 ‘So do not listen to your prophets, or to your diviners, or to your dreamers, or to your observers of clouds, or your sorcerers, who speak to you, saying, “Do not serve the sovereign of Baḇel.”
Do not listen to your pastors telling you to disobey the authority.
If you read Daniel 6, you will also learn that Daniel had to and did obey King Darius. But then the govenors weren't happy that the King blessed Daniel the way he did and wanted to get Daniel to fail. But they knew he would not disobey the king, but he will disobey if it goes against His Elohim.
Dan 6:4 Then the governors and viceroys sought to find occasion against Dani’ĕl concerning the reign. But they were unable to find occasion or corruption, because he was steadfast, and no negligence or corruption was found in him.
Dan 6:5 Then these men said, “We shall not find any occasion against this Dani’ĕl unless we find it against him concerning the law of his Elah.”
And this Daniel disobeyed, because it was against Yahuah's Torah:
Dan 6:7 “All the governors of the reign, the nobles and viceroys, the counsellors and advisors, have consulted together to establish a royal decree and to make a strong interdict, that whoever petitions any elah or man for thirty days, except you, O sovereign, is thrown into the den of lions.
And he was thrown in with the lions. And Yahuah protected him.
This is the word of Yahuah, you decide if you want to bring judgement on to yourselves:
Rom 13:1 Let every being be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from Elohim, and the authorities that exist are appointed by Elohim.
Rom 13:2 So he who opposes the authority withstands the institution of Elohim, and those who withstand shall bring judgment on themselves.
This is unacceptable Jason Kenney (Alberta’s Premier) must speak out against this.
Premier Kenney says that Pastor Coates is imprisoned because he won’t cooperate. I hope that we albertans remember this atrocity on Election Day & not re-elect this covid government
Kenny won't do anything like always
Kenney is the one who had this Pastor put in jail!
He won’t be getting our votes.

A reminder, 3rd witness:
Tit 3:1 Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work,
When our Father repeats Himself, we better listen.
The only time we may disobey the authority, is when we are expected to disobey His Word.
Like in Daniel, when they tried to trick Him to bow to the king.
He refused rightly and our Father protected Him.
Same with Mordekai when He was expected to bow down to Haman. Again the Father protected.
But otherwise we obey the govenrment, because we are commanded to.
No pastor can say any different, if they do, they are wrong. Just as they are wrong with the Father and Son's Sacred names, with the Sabbath, with Christmas and Easter, with eating of unclean foods.
Our Father does not change, but Christianity changes with the time.
Mal 3:6 “For I am יהוה, I shall not change, and you, O sons of Yaʽaqoḇ, shall not come to an end.

You are wrong. Scripture is clear, you have to obey the authority. The authority did not stop you from worship the Father. They stop the gathering for health reasons.
Because of their disobedience to the Father, they brought judgement on themselves.
Rom 13:1 Let every being be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from Elohim, and the authorities that exist are appointed by Elohim.
Rom 13:2 So he who opposes the authority withstands the institution of Elohim, and those who withstand shall bring judgment on themselves.
Here is your second witness:
Tit 3:1 Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work,
and third witness:
1Pe 2:13 Be subject to every institution of man because of the Master, whether to the sovereign as supreme,
1Pe 2:14 or to governors, as to those who are sent by him for the punishment of doers of evil, and a praise for those who do good.
1Pe 2:15 Because such is the desire of Elohim, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men,

Hebrews 10(10:23-25)kjv- " 23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching."
If government says you have to worship budda, are you going to? Scripture says you shouldn't Exodus 20. Acts 4(4:19); Acts 5(5:29); 1 Cor 9(9:16)
Apostles were told to stop preaching and they still did preach out of respect of what God command them to do. As they obeyed God not man. And then in 1 Cor 9:16(kjv) "For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!" Woe is God's severest chastened is reserved for unfaithful ministers. Then seen in James 3:1(kjv) "My Brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation."
Daniel 3- Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, didn't obey Nebuchadnezzar to worship him.
You should read Daniel 6, Daniel still prayed to God against the man's law because it violated God's law
We should obey government until it violates God's commandments and not until that law directly affects us.
Now stop with your strawman points, you condemn Christians and Christ, so how can you claim Christ, you cant.
Pastor Mike Theissan is awaiting a court date from Alliston, ON and his church has been shut down as he was still preaching. He has been on you tube- Liberty Coalition.
Praying for my Brother James. May the Gospel spread boldly! From Hungary
@Pastor James Coates Thank you, dear Brother. I'm at the feet of Jesus.
I’m in New Brunswick and I wish we would stand up and be the watchmen that they should !
ALL Protestant preachers had better get together with one another REAL FAST. You guys gotta stand up here because if you don't your not going to have a Church to preach from in a few years time. I'm behind yall 100 percent of the way. If there's anything I can do to help please feel free to PM me. GREAT JOB PASTOR COATES. Canada has at least one decent Preacher.
In a few months time, I believe.
Sadly, 501C3 tax code brings many of them together.
Then they are told what to preach and what NOT to preach, if they want to stay in business.
@@melissac6774 I live inSpruce Grove Alberta that is the same place this pastor’s church is. Our church like 99% of the churches are following guidelines and there’s no issues. We have services on line, we have bible studies on zoom. Children’s bible studies are also on line. You cannot judge what we do in Alberta. We have rules and laws. If his congregation had someone with covid they could spread it to other and then other, you get what I mean. We don’t need to have covid like it’s done in America. Please you have many issues in your country to deal with, leave us alone.

I live in Victoria Australia and the first thing that was shut out was going into schools with non denominational teachings as soon as Labor premier got in instantly stopped. Like all over the WORLD they are wanting to get rid of all Churches/Christians, try as they will, they will not be able to achieve, we have Almighty God on our side
We need to stay strong in trust and faith in God Almighty
I'm in Edmonton and got into several arguments on the Edmonton Journal article's comment section. Most people think our right to worship doesn't trump the Government's right to take our rights away. Also, "if you believe in God shouldn't life be more sacred than getting together in your clubhouse?" Sigh. We've fallen so far from the truth. But for Nations that know the truth and willfully turn from it the Lord will give them a degenerate mind. And we can sure see that now. Men can be women. Women can be men. Men can be dogs, elves, horses, etc etc. Literally insane demon doctrines. Pray for Canada and all God's people.
Pray for their boys. They are just children missing their Daddy. May the Lord heal and keep their souls.
Well, at least he can start a jail ministry. Imagine what would happen if he began preaching to the others around him.
Amen I prayed this very thing this morning. May the worst of criminals come to know Jesus in such a time as this. Praying God's peace and strength over his family 🙏🏾

Today, May 3, is the beginning Pastor Coates hearing, let's continue to pray
Pastor James, lots of prayers going up for you, Know that you are guided, guarded and protected... And So It Is 🙏🏾
Watch Pastor Coates last sermon before his arrest at Grace Life Church Edmonton Alberta on Feb. 14
It is a MUST SEE!!!!
Thank you for the encouragement Pastors. 🙏❤️
Thank you for standing up for Pastor Coates and his decision to follow Christ 🙏
Thanks for supporting James, I am in Australia.
THE GOSPEL SPREADS UNDER PERSECUTION. Bless Erin and her family. Bless you Ps James , bless you men.
Get ready its our time to shine. Persecution is what happened to Christ it will hate us too.
Looking ugly here too. Stand church stand.
I will pray for him and his family
Proud of you for standing up for the kingdom! We are doing the same here in western Colorado!
Pastor James’ last sermon on Romans 13:1-7 is excellent regarding the authority of governing bodies. I encourage all Christians to watch it.
He clearly does not understand Scripture. If he doesn't understand verses 1&2.

Why do I have the funny feeling that the government would have no issue with Pastor Coates if he were a Muslim Imam or a Wiccan?
They are not game to touch a Muslim - look at England.
@@lillypond1061 Doesn’t London even have a Muslim mayor?
There is a hatred for biblical Christianity that comes from the carnal, spiritually dead souls of men. Jesus said in John 15 that ‘If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated Me, first’.
The government officials are in whopping big trouble with God! Praise God for Pastor's of faith and courage! Praying for the ignorant fools locking them up
I am an Albertan and I just made an important video that actually unpacks what our Canadian rights and freedoms are. I am really hoping that Canadians begin engaging in a larger conversation that NEEDS to happen in our Nation right now. It is a complicated issue, but regardless of how a person sees Pastor James' conduct, our Rights and Freedoms are being violated. At the VERY LEAST - we need to have an open dialog.
Covid is also used to shut down what those in power don't like and God's word is top of the list. Joshua 1:9. Blessings from the UK.
Well said! I'm praying for Pastor Coates! Praise God for His deliverance!
Praying for Him the Family and Church 🙏 We do not have a spirit of fear but power, love, sound mind!
God has a purpose for all of these. God bless Ptr. James and his family. Our prayers goes with you. Godbless!
Thanks to you all for addressing this issue in Canada with the arrest of Pastor coates in Alberta at the Redeemed Bible Church. My prayers are with the Pastors and Churches who are under persecution for their faith. Keep up the good work.
Praying for all you have asked! I am sharing Pastor Coates' messages with many!
Be bold in the TRUTH, yet humble. I am in the states, and learned of his jailing from our pastor, I looked him up and watched Pastor Coates sermon: "Feb 14, 2021 (Romans 13:1-4) "Directing Government to its Duty" And was brought to tears painful/yet beautiful as these trying times help us see the TRUTH of the gospel, my words can't do it justice, praying that everyone will look it up and listen to it. Our country and our children need us to and who knows, Jesus may come today!
Very sad...but very exciting that the church has a chance to stand strong. Praying Pastor stays strong.

@@carleenpring3404 Thank you for your kind words. But i have to decline to listen to other preachers. I was a Christian for more than 40 years and lied to all the time. And the Father has shown me the errors of the church. And it's blatant disobedience to His Word.
They call Him by pagan names, disobey His Covenant sign, the Sabbath and many other errors.
The theology of the church is not Scriptural, close but not right.
Ask yourself how is it possible to get 3 days and 3 nights from Good Friday to the 1st day Sunday? Which is what the Scripture says:
Mat 12:40 “For as Yonah was three days and three nights in the stomach of the great fish, so shall the Son of Aḏam be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
Your pastor will not be able to tell you. If He knows the answer, then it will go against the teaching of the church. That is why this is never discussed in church.
Because the church threw Yahuah's Redemption Plan, out of their theology, many things the Christian do not understand.
Ask yourself why would our Loving Messiah Yahusha, live to be our example and die for us to set us free from sin.
Just so that the church can changes His Laws after our Messiah departed to be with the Father.
What use has the following Words, if we remain sinners according to the church?
Rom 6:1 What, then, shall we say? Shall we continue in sin, to let favour increase?
Rom 6:2 Let it not be! How shall we who died to sin1 still live in it?
Do you want to be free from sin? You can be, but not as a Christian.
Rom 8:2 For the Torah of the Spirit of the life in Messiah יהושע has set me free from the law of sin and of death.
If you truly Study Scripture you will learn our Father never changes and neither does the teaching of Yahusha.
Mal 3:6 “For I am יהוה, I shall not change1, and you, O sons of Yaʽaqoḇ, shall not come to an end.
Confirmed that He is unchangeable:
Heb 6:17 In this way Elohim, resolving to show even more clearly to the heirs of promise the unchangeableness of His purpose, confirmed it by an oath,
In Whom there is no shadow of turning:
Jas 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change, nor shadow of turning.
Shalom.
Thank you for being concerned for the church wherever it is. I am Canadian and this hits home. I know my family in BC, who are Christians, would agree with putting him in jail. Not sure how to handle that.
I would strongly argue that your family that thinks this ok may not be the Christians that they think they are. Gods word is very clear on how his church is to behave and fellowship. Scripture states 365 times (just coincidence I’m sure, note sarcasm) that we are to “fear not”. We are not to be stupid, but this “plandemic” is about government control not a virus. Early on, we didn’t know exactly what we were dealing with, but it has become painfully clear that this is political manipulation at its core. Pray for your family and show them the truth of a Gods word
They are believers; that is not helpful to just write them off that way. Many Christians in Canada hold the opinion that this is about public health. I understand that. We need to pray for the believers everywhere that are struggling, confused, not aware, or waiting. We are family.
@@mariaisaten Right, but they are not Christians if they put the government above God. Period. That's not to be rude to them, but that's simply the truth. If you put the government above God, you are so far from the Gospels that you are not a Christian. They need to come to God, God does not need to go to them.
I’m in BC Canada and am horrified by all this. As is my RCMP husband. He’d quit before arresting a pastor for this.
It’s very disheartening reading professing Christians agree with him being arrested. Critical thinking seems so rare these days.
@@mariaisaten It is about public health. What gives this pastor the right to facilitate the transmission of the virus and endanger other people? How many people will die or become ill because of his religious zealotry? Fortunately the virus has a low death rate. What if it was 10% or a mutation got to that level? What would you say then? Look at Israel where the religious zealots at 12.6% of the population have 28% of the cases in the country. Their zealotry is kiling them and others. We don't need or want that here. There are safer ways to preach to one's congregation.
Shame on you Canada the way you have treated Pastor Coates. From Australia
Thanks Redeemer Bible Church for the support. The enemy will come from all directions so just saying do not be surprised. Also people need to pray for revival around the world.

May the Lord strengthen him!
May many hear more of the Savior!
Will be praying.
Thank you for this encouragement. You are setting the course for us in countries like South Africa, together with our pastors from here, who too stood their ground. They received backslash from other Christians just as you. We need Biblical leaders like you.

Now stop with your strawman points, you condemn Christians and Christ, so how can you claim Christ, you cant.
What the enemy meant for evil God meant for good, the saving of many lives! May God save the men in prison with James through James
We are praying desperately for this man of God ... praying whether it’s that thee Lord has James in prison to witness or to stand in the gap ...may the name of the Lord Jesus be glorified , period 🙏🙏🙏
Covid - God brings good, out of all things meant for evil, for us all. We now have Christians, who cannot find good solid word churches, now can have church on-line, and not just a recorded sermon, but actually participate. Pastors are aware more now of the isolation some us are suffering.
Thank you!
It's about choice. FAITH over fear!
10, 15 or 20 years? It's right on our doorstep here in America. They just passed the 'Equality Act' on the House floor today, which will have a chilling effect on churches and Christian organizations. It still has to pass the Senate.
The religion of safetyism has many new followers these days!
We will be praying. 🙏
Praying for Pastor James Coats and his wife, and their family and church. We are really starting to see the beginning of persecution. I use to wonder how is it that things like what happened in WWll, to the Jews, and other horrific genocides that have happened like Mao and the Bolshevik revolution, and even now in other countries like China, and several countries in Africa. We are seeing the same gradual things happening, it was especially even more clear when I read some of the communists goals, and saw how many things have happened over the past 20-30 years. Little by little, it’s gradual and so many people don’t see what’s really going on. Thank God that whatever happens, we have Jesus gift of salvation and the holt spirit to help us through whatever we go through. Thank you
I was in an restaurant near Edmonton recently and it was packed out. The church can be as well.
@Pastor James Coates Pastor Coates would never say this. Please stop spamming.
Where can we write, email or snail mail, to let the government officials in Alberta know that what is happening with pastor Coates's is unacceptable? Of course he will be on my prayer list.
Jason Kenney is the premier of Alberta
You are wrong. Scripture is clear, you have to obey the authority. The authority did not stop you from worship the Father. They stop the gathering for health reasons.
Because of their disobedience to the Father, they brought judgement on themselves.
Rom 13:1 Let every being be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from Elohim, and the authorities that exist are appointed by Elohim.
Rom 13:2 So he who opposes the authority withstands the institution of Elohim, and those who withstand shall bring judgment on themselves.
Here is your second witness:
Tit 3:1 Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work,
and third witness:
1Pe 2:13 Be subject to every institution of man because of the Master, whether to the sovereign as supreme,
1Pe 2:14 or to governors, as to those who are sent by him for the punishment of doers of evil, and a praise for those who do good.
1Pe 2:15 Because such is the desire of Elohim, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men,
I could “believe” hurting or abandoning someone is “protecting” them, does not make it true. Abandoning the flock in a hard time is cowardly and not “protecting” them.
Edit:
My meaning here is that those who shrink to livestream “services” are not living a call worthy of the one who gave His life in our place.
@@mariae1948 no Coates is one of the few brave men. The livestream warriors are the ones lacking courage.
Thank you!!!!
Praying for Pastor James. God is with him and his family.
Lord set us all free to worship you, Walmart’s, Costco’s big box stores here in Canada are crowded, maybe we need to do “Church” there
