What Does the Bible Say About Vaccines?

In this age of forced immunizations, there are still some states that allow home schools to obtained an exemption based on their religious convictions.  If you have such convictions, then this article may assist you in explaining your reasons for not immunizing.

Do Not Contaminate God’s Temple
The body of a Christian is the temple of the Holy Spirit (1Co 3:16; 1Co 3:17; 1Co 6:19; 2Co 6:16; Eph 2:21). As such, the believer is to purify himself from everything that contaminates both body and spirit (2 Co 7:1). Vaccines may contain various ingredients that contaminate the body, including aluminum hydroxide, aluminum phosphate, ammonium sulfate, formaldehyde, various toxoids and antibiotics, as well as heavy metals like mercury contained in thimerosal, which is used as a preservative.   Mercury is a highly toxic element, second only to radioactive plutonium. When it is combined with other ingredients, specifically aluminum and formaldehyde, the synergistic effects increase 10,000-fold.  Scientific studies have connected thimerosal with autism.  To inject known neurotoxins into our children, which have known health risks, would be a violation of these biblical teachings.

Some vaccines such as the “measles - mumps – rubella” (MMR), the “measles – rubella” (M-R-Vax), and the Biavax rubella vaccine, all produced by Merck & Co., Inc., as well as the Imovax rabies vaccine produced by Connaught Laboratories, and the Havrix hepatitis A vaccine by GlaxoSmithKline, contain human diploid cells from aborted fetal tissue.  We believe that according to God’s Word, life begins at conception (Ps 139:13), and abortion of a human life in the womb constitutes murder.  This is an abomination to God.  The Bible says, “Thou shalt not murder” (Ex 20:13).  It would be unconscionable for us to inject the remnants of a murdered baby into our children or ourselves.

Some vaccines even contain DNA, such as ProQuad, the “measles, mumps, rubella and varicella” vaccine by Merck & Co., Inc.  

The authors of a study published in 1980 by "Mutation Research" came to the conclusion that smallpox vaccination has a "mutagenic effect" on human chromosomes. [Neil Z. Miller's 1999 book Vaccines: Are They Really Safe and Effective?, p. 46] "Viruses and viral vaccines are agents for the transfer of genetic imprints from one host to another. In other words, because they contain pure genetic material (DNA and RNA) from a foreign organism, once injected into a human recipient, the new genetic material is incorporated into the invaded cells." [Miller, p. 48] In the 1960s, Joshua Lederberg, Dept. of Genetics, Stanford University School of Medicine, said that "live viruses are ... genetic messages used for the purpose of programming human cells". Lederberg said that "we already practice biological engineering on a rather large scale by use of live viruses in mass immunization campaigns." [Miller, p.49]

"No one knows the long-term effects of tampering with the genetic codes and delicate structure of the human organism. However, the physical invasion of the human body by foreign genetic material may have the immediate effect of permanently weakening the immune system, setting in motion a new era of autoimmune diseases. For example, research indicates that psychotic disorders may be caused by viral infections. The incidence of schizophrenia is on the rise compared to earlier times, and studies now indicate that about one-third of all cases are autoimmune in nature. Once again, some authorities implicate the childhood vaccine programs." [Miller, p. 49]

We believe that God is our Creator and He put the DNA in each person, containing the exact codes needed to instruct the cells of our bodies how they should build.  Scientific research has revealed that the genetic material contained in the vaccines is incorporated into the invaded cells of the vaccinated recipient. This constitutes crossing the DNA of humans and animals.  It would be unconscionable to allow someone to inject the DNA of an animal or another person into the blood of our children or into our own blood.  This would constitute a type of sorcery, which is forbidden by God.  We believe that vaccines contaminate our body and spirit, God’s temple, thereby weakening us, and we must purify ourselves of such things, as a means of perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

The Life is in the Blood
The life of all flesh is in the blood, so the blood must be kept pure.  The Lord said, “For the life of the flesh is in the blood…” (Lev 17:11a).  He also said, “For the life of every creature is its blood: its blood is its life…” (Lev 17:14a, ESV).  

Since the life of a human is its blood, it must be kept pure.  Nothing unclean may be put into the blood.  Since the life of every creature is in its blood, we must not put it into our own blood.  This is the same as putting their life into our blood.  Since their lives are not pure, their life weakens us.

It’s a well-documented fact that satanic rituals involve animal and human sacrifices, as well as drinking blood.  This is an occult practice.  In both the Old Covenant and the New Covenant, God forbids His people to eat blood (Lev 17:14; Act 15:20). Since they did not have vaccines when Scripture was written, nothing is mentioned about them.  But since God forbids eating or drinking blood, we know that He does not want us putting animal blood into our bodies by any means, whether ingestion or injection. 

Pharmaceutical Roots in Sorcery
In a day when there are huge numbers of deaths caused by adverse drug effects (ADEs) from prescribed pharmaceutical drugs, it is interesting to note the biblical reference to sorcery: "But the cowardly, unbelieveing, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolators, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death." Revelation 21:8 (New King James)

In this passage, the word 'sorcerers' comes from the Greek word 'pharmakos' (Strongs) which is derived from the Greek word 'pharmakon' and is defined as: “a druggist (‘pharmacist’) or poisoner” (Strongs). 

An interesting passage in the Bible refers to the methodology used to deceive the nations in the end times:  "...For your merchants were the great men of the earth, for by your sorcery all the nations were deceived."  Revelation 18:23

The word 'sorcery' (Strongs) in this passage is the Greek word 'pharmakeia'. It is defined in as “medication” (pharmacy).  Drugs that the government considers illegal, like marijuana, cocaine, LSD, and heroin, are connected with the occult and sorcery.  And so are many of the drugs the government considers legal.  We do not necessarily believe that every medicine produced by a pharmaceutical company is considered sorcery.  But pharmaceuticals have their roots in sorcery.  And it is obvious in the case of vaccines that these are connected with sorcery, since they are poisonous (toxic), rely on the blood of dead animals, and they consist of ingredients that we are forbidden by God to put into our bodies. 

For example, some vaccines may contain pig blood, horse blood, rabbit brain, dog kidney, vesicle fluid from calf skins, rhesus monkey fetal diploid cells, bovine fetal serum, rhesus monkey fetal lung cells, bovine serum, chicken embryo, monkey kidney cells, calf serum, chick embryonic fluid, washed sheep red blood cells, and mouse serum proteins.  Many vaccines are made from the blood of diseased animals, decomposed animal parts, and are not sterile.  The Bible teaches that there are clean and unclean animals and that God’s people are not to put the unclean into their bodies. 

Luke 13.1-5 states that those who mix human blood with the blood of sacrificed animals are 'sinners.' This is precisely what pharmaceutical industrialists do in order to produce many vaccines, by mixing the blood of animals with that of humans.  And it is what medical practitioners do when they inject vaccines containing animal blood into the bloodstreams of humans.  The human and animal blood is mixed together, which is an abomination to God (Lev 20:16).

It is Not God’s Will for His People to Be Sick
Vaccines may also contain other ingredients that contaminate and harm the body, such as deadly viruses (both live and inactive).  The human body’s reaction to these (i.e., fever, aches, pains, nausea, inflammation, coma, death, etc.) show that the immune system accurately recognizes these components as foreign and harmful.  The pharmaceutical companies call these “adverse drug effects” (ADEs). Scripture teaches that it is not God’s will for believers to have sickness or disease.  The psalmist said, “Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget none of His benefits; Who pardons all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases;” (Psa 103:2-3).  God is willing and able to heal all our diseases.

Do Not Destroy God’s  Temple
In some cases, vaccines can even result in death to the patient. A top Merck vaccine scientist (Dr. Maurice Hilleman) openly admits the presence of AIDS and deadly SV40 in vaccines. If you or your child dies, “They” cannot be held liable! Why would they protect themselves from lawsuits if it wasn’t harmful? They do so, because they know that it is.  And the Scripture says that “If any man destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him, for the temple of God is holy, and that is what you are.” (1Co 3:17).  We must never be accomplice to any man who destroys the temple of God, even if the intent was to prevent disease, because His temple is holy, and we are His temple. 

The Lord is Our Healer
Jesus Christ not only paid for the forgiveness of our sins and our salvation from hell through His atoning sacrifice, He also paid for our healing and deliverance.  The prophet Isaiah said, “Surely our griefs He Himself bore, And our sorrows He carried; Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, Smitten of God, and afflicted. But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, And by His scourging we are healed.” (Isa 53:4-5). 

When the prophet said, “Our griefs He Himself bore,” the Hebrew word for griefs is chŏlı̂y meaning “sickness, affliction, disease, griefs, or illness,” according to the NAS Exhaustive Concordance (NASEC).  When the prophet said that Jesus “bore” our griefs, the Hebrew word is nasah, which means in this context “to carry, take, receive, bear or accept” (Strongs).   Jesus actually received our sicknesses, our diseases, and our illnesses in His body on the cross. 

When the prophet said that Jesus carried our sorrows, the Hebrew word for sorrows is makob, meaning “pain” (NASEC).  When it says He carried our pain, the Hebrew word is sabal, which literally means to carry or bear a heavy load (NASEC).

It is repeated in the New Testament.  In the gospel of Saint Matthew, it says, “When evening came, they brought to Him [Jesus] many who were demon-possessed; and He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were ill. This was to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet: ‘HE HIMSELF TOOK OUR INFIRMITIES AND CARRIED AWAY OUR DISEASES.’” (Mat 8:16-17).  So Matthew states that when Jesus healed all who were ill, He was fulfilling the prophecy of Isaiah that we have just cited.  

Jesus Christ rose from the dead and lives forever.  Just as He healed all who were ill during His earthly ministry, He continues to do so today.  “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” (Heb 13:8). 

Furthermore, the apostle Peter wrote, “and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed.” (1Pe 2:24).  The Greek word for “healed” is iaomai, which means “1) to cure, heal, 2) to make whole,  and 2a) to free from errors and sins, to bring about (one’s) salvation” (Thayer).   Therefore, Peter affirms that by the wounds that Jesus received in His passion and crucifixion, we His sheep are healed, made whole, cured, forgiven, freed from the power of sin, and saved. This means that there is not only salvation but healing in the atonement.  

Just as one must believe in Jesus as His own personal Lord and Savior in order to be saved, one must also believe in Jesus as His own personal Healer to be healed.  Jesus often said to those whom He healed, “Your faith has made you whole” (Mat 9:22; Mat 15:28; Mar 5:34; Mar 10:52; Luk 8:48; Luk 17:19).

Since it is not God’s will for His children to have disease, then it is not God’s will for them or anyone else to inject disease in any form into their bodies.  The child of God is supposed to walk in the perfect will of God, and never do anything he knows to be contrary to God’s will (Mar 3:35; Rom 12:2; 1Pe 4:1-2; Heb 10:36; Eph 6:6; 1Jn 2:17; Mat 7:21).

We have seen the Lord heal many various sicknesses and diseases through prayer and the laying on of hands.  He has done this in our own lives, our children’s lives, as well as the lives of other people.  We have not only read about this happening through others like Smith Wigglesworth, Reese Howells, Kathryn Kuhlman, Charles and Frances Hunter, and Dr. T.L. Osborne, who saw tens of thousands healed in every corner of the earth during his sixty-five years of ministry, but we have seen it first hand. 

This is not a gift reserved only for a select few believers.  Healing is a covenant promise of God to His people.  God keeps all His promises and cannot lie.  Not one word of all His good promises has ever failed.  In Saint Mark’s gospel, he records the words of our Lord Jesus to His disciples when He commissioned them to preach the gospel, make disciples, and baptize them.  He said, "These signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues; they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover." (Mar 16:17-18).  This is part of the Great Commission. He not only called us to preach salvation, but healing and deliverance also.  We cannot take only the parts of the Bible we like and leave out other parts.  We have a mandate from the Lord of the Universe.  He said that believers would lay hands on the sick.  And when He said, “They shall recover,” this reveals it is His will for those upon whom believers lay their hands shall recover.

As disciples of Jesus Christ, we believe that if we are walking faithfully in obedience to Him, then He will put none of the diseases upon us that He put upon the Egyptians.  For He said, "If you will give earnest heed to the voice of the LORD your God, and do what is right in His sight, and give ear to His commandments, and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have put on the Egyptians; for I, the LORD, am your healer." (Exo 15:26). 

We do not rely on vaccines to prevent diseases, we rely on our great God.  He has revealed Himself to His people as “Yahweh Rapha,” the Lord your Healer (Ex 15:26), and we have come to know Him personally as such.  To deny this would be to deny Him.

Sometimes believers do get sick.  When they do, they are to call upon the elders of the church, not the doctors.  And the Lord promises to heal them, if they do so.  The apostle James wrote, “Is anyone among you sick? Then he must call for the elders of the church and they are to pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; and the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up, and if he has committed sins, they will be forgiven him.” (Jas 5:14-15).  He says, “the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up.”  We have faith that the Lord will restore the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise Him up.

Futility of Seeking Physicians Rather Than God
The role of physicians has its place in society.  But a godly physician knows that only God can heal his patients.  Many people have sought physicians rather than God and either gotten worse or died as a result.  There are examples of this in Scripture for our instruction.  One was Asa, King of Judah. 

“In the thirty-ninth year of his reign Asa became diseased in his feet. His disease was severe, yet even in his disease he did not seek the LORD, but the physicians. So Asa slept with his fathers, having died in the forty-first year of his reign.” (2Ch 16:12-13)

One more example will suffice, and that is the woman with the hemorrhage.  “A woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years, and had endured much at the hands of many physicians, and had spent all that she had and was not helped at all, but rather had grown worse…”  (Mar 5:25-26).  Although she spent all she had seeking the care of physicians, they could not help at all. In fact, she only grew worse.  It was only when she put her faith in Jesus and touched the hem of his garment that she was healed, and her bleeding stopped immediately. 

We believe that when people seek physicians rather than God, they will end up like King Asa or like the woman with the issue of blood.  We see this happening today in the rise of diseases, of which vaccines are suspected by scientists to be the cause, such as autism, schizophrenia, and various autoimmune diseases.  Not to mention all the so-called "adverse drug effects" resulting from vaccines.  The immunization campaign deceives people into thinking that physicians can protect them from disease without seeking God, when in fact this program only makes them worse.

Cause of Disease and Plagues
Scripture records that the following diseases came upon the people because of disobedience to God’s Law: plague, hemorrhoids, itch, consumption, fever, inflammation, boils, tumors, scabs, blindness, confusion, and madness. (Deut 28; cf., Num 14:12; Lev 26:25; Am 4:10; Jer 24:10).  And since this list is not exhaustive enough, the Scripture goes on to say, “He [the Lord] will bring back on you all the diseases of Egypt of which you were afraid, and they will cling to you. Also every sickness and every plague which, not written in the book of this law, the LORD will bring on you until you are destroyed.” (Deu 28:60-61). On the other hand, God promises His blessings of prosperity, or overall well being, upon His obedient children (Deut 28:1-14).

Divine Protection from Plagues
We are keenly aware that we are under the protection promised in Psalm 91, which says, “He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the LORD, ‘My refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I trust!’ For it is He who delivers you from the snare of the trapper And from the deadly pestilence.” (Psa 91:1-3).  The deadly “pestilence” in this verse is from the Hebrew word deber, meaning the destroying “plague” (Strong).  The Lord -- not the pharmaceutical company -- delivers us from the deadly plague.

We don’t need to live in fear of plagues.  God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of love, power and a sound mind (2 Tim 1:7).  Though a thousand fall at our side, even ten thousand at our right hand, it shall not approach us, because He will give His angels charge over us.

The Lord has promised us, “You will not be afraid of the terror by night, Or of the arrow that flies by day; Of the pestilence [plague] that stalks in darkness, Or of the destruction that lays waste at noon. A thousand may fall at your side And ten thousand at your right hand, But it shall not approach you. You will only look on with your eyes And see the recompense of the wicked. For you have made the LORD, my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place. No evil will befall you, Nor will any plague come near your tent. For He will give His angels charge concerning you, To guard you in all your ways.” (Psa 91:5-11).

The Lord promises that if we love Him and call upon Him, He will deliver us and satisfy us with long life (Ps 91:14-16).  Man cannot give us long life, since he himself is subject to sickness and death. But we know that God who is Life Himself has the power to do so, and will do what He promised. 

The Scriptures also command God’s people to come out of Babylonian the Great whore, so as not to partake of her sins. “I heard another voice from heaven, saying, "Come out of her, my people, so that you will not participate in her sins and receive of her plagues.” (Rev 18:4). 

We believe the government immunization program is part of the Babylonian system that God commands us to come out of.  So rather than participate in this program in an attempt to avoid plagues, we believe it would actually be sin to participate in the program, since it is based on sinful activities.  We believe that if we are obedient to come out of her, we will not receive of her plagues.  We have divine protection only if we come out.

A Nation’s Proper Response to Plague
Scripture teaches that when God sends a plague to His people, the solution is for them to humble themselves, pray, seek His face, and turn from their wicked ways.  God says: "If I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among My people, and My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” (2Ch 7:13-14).  God promises to heal the nation in response to this kind of prayer.

When God sent a plague to the nation of Israel as a result of King David’s sinful census, it took the lives of seventy thousand men (2 Sam 24:15).  Then David repented of his sin and prayed to the Lord (2Sa 24:17).  He obeyed God’s command and sought the Lord:

“David built there an altar to the LORD and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. Thus the LORD was moved by prayer for the land, and the plague was held back from Israel.” (2Sa 24:25)

When David confessed his sin and sought the Lord for forgiveness, prayer for the land moved the Lord, and the plague was stopped. This is the way God’s people, especially the national leaders, are to respond to plague.

But wicked men want to devise schemes so that they can avoid sickness without turning from their wicked ways.  They want to mix their potions and inject them into human beings in an attempt to defy God.

Obey God Rather Than Man
As Sherry Shriner states: "The Bible teaches that there have been times in history when evil government and government employees have attempted, through force or color of law, to intimidate, harm or destroy the children of God’s people. (Exodus 1 and 2; Matthew 2).   The Bible teaches that when man’s law contradicts God’s law, His people must obey God over man. (Acts 5:29) Therefore, be it known, should any policy, edict or legislation of man decree our children must be vaccinated, we must obey God rather than man just as Moses’ parents of old, we will do so without fear (Exodus 2)."

The Bible teaches us that we are not to harm or wrong our neighbor. (Romans 13:10 and James 2:8) When a family decides to decline vaccines, it does not do wrong or threaten their neighbors. If vaccines were truly effective, the neighbor who has been vaccinated would not be in danger from someone who is not vaccinated.

Conclusion
After having seriously considered the Scriptures and the suppressed facts about vaccines, you may elect to forego these risks, by faith in God and enjoyment of His blessings, among which are health and natural immunity.  For anyone with deeply and sincerely held religious convictions about this matter, it would violate conscience to allow their children to be vaccinated.

  1. Thank you for this excellent, Bible-based article. My family mistakenly vaccinated some members, as well as our pets. We've reaped the horrible results in poor health, behavior problems and shorter lives. All vaccines cause brain inflammation and immune system suppression; this obviously isn't what God wants for any of His creatures. I pray the LORD to give His wisdom to all of His people.

  3. Very well written and insightful piece! Thank you for such a wonderful resource. I was injured by vaccines and other pharmaceutical abominations as a child and have since found Christ and have chosen to abstain from vaccinations for our children. My 4 year old is the brightest and healthiest child I know. God made our bodies perfect and our capabilities are miraculous through Christ. God bless you for sharing your wonderful research!

  4. There are natural ways to recover from vaccines injury. After years of being vaccinated, I'm on my way to recovery by crossing many barriers, especially praying for God's wisdom and understanding as I search for physical and spiritual healings.

  5. I agree with the above but Id like to add- we are to separate ourselves from everything that contaminates the body- this includes vaccines yes- but also man-made toxic foods and drinks that are loaded with chemicals and preservatives. The church is as sick as the world because it has conformed to the ways of the world and this includes the way the world eats. EX- sugar, junk, fast foods, soda etc.... The Standard American Diet is a diet that fuels illness. It is a diet of the world. Its time for the church to return to Gods original diet (Gen 1:29) and reap life abundant. Thank you for a very informative article.

  6. Honestly, i love your biblical insight on vaccines. I knew, through Gods word, that we are not to mix other blood with ours, as well as, have read many Health Professionals articles, medical journals reports, as well as, viewed many of Dale Bigtrees, Highwire videos with healthcare professionals, but i have never read such indepth, biblical based information. I pray that my both my older daughters and my son in laws all read this article and i hope it enlightens each of them to Gods Truths. Thank you so much

  8. If that resident of the White House you referred to pleads with you to bow down to an idol or commit some other abomination, would you do it? Read Acts 4:19 and 5:29. In Rev 13:8 and Rev 14:9-12, the saints must defy the demand to worship the beast or his image and to take his mark. In Daniel 3:12, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego refused to bow to the idol. From the first century until now, there would have been very few martyrs, if any, had the saints just obeyed the authorities' demands, whether in the First century under Nero, or during the Spanish Inquisitions, or under Soviet/Chinese communism, or in Muslim countries under Shariah Law. You are badly mistaken to say that refusing to obey a government official is equivalent to disobeying God. It is a gross misunderstanding of Scripture.

  10. Well said and thank you, I have a daughter who was badly damaged by the hov vaccine, we have walked a road of recovery, learning and healing with God since, it has been a blessing in disguise as now because of our experience none of my children or grandchildren will be taking the jab,we have learnt to use the all things natural and I even studied nutrition, I realised God has given us everything on the earth that we need to heal our bodies and keep our immune system strong, we have been so deceived by the big corporations, we live in a time of the great awakening, we are truly blessed indeed.

  11. Thank you Len for this article. Here in Melbourne Australia we have experienced the severist lockdown measures in the world with draconian infantalization response to the existing virus and now there is talk of opening up only to those who are fully vaccinated. There will be discrimination for those who choose not to receive the jab. This is starting to include schools and very shortly medical arena no doubt. I am a music teacher and I will not be able to teach if I do not receive this horrid Jab. It really is a precurser of what is to come in the future.
    I have a few questions though and would love to discuss. My husband has a hereditory blood presure condition and has to take blood presure tablets to survive. I have been praying for his healing and would appreciate it you can also pray for him. I also have sleepy thyroid and my physican would like me to take tablets for this but it's an emphatic no from me. Toxity in some medications are definitely present. If you look at the history of the Rockerfeller dinasty with petra chemicals in our medication, one can see why there has been a fall out with rise in cancer and other illnesses which I believe is partly attributed to medications. Prior to this control from these wealthy individuals, people would go to God's Beautiful garden for supportive help. I am growing to learn how the Lord can heal in many ways and wholistic food is part of it mingled of course with faith.

    1. Dear sister, yes we've been watching with sadness and shock the horrifying things happening in Australia. I have a dear brother in Christ I know there. That is what is coming to the rest of the world soon.

      About the medications, and about the holistic nutritional approach to health, as well as praying and trusting God for healing, I am in agreement with you. God bless you.

      Here are some oral supplements you should research:
      Astragalus-lowers blood pressure (and blood sugar).
      Oregano-lowers high blood pressure
      Andrographis-seems to decrease blood pressure. Taking andrographis along with medications for high blood pressure might cause your blood pressure to go too low.

      Also Lavender might decrease blood pressure in some people. Taking lavender along with medications used for lowering high blood pressure might cause your blood pressure to go too low. Do not take too much lavender if you are taking medications for high blood pressure.

  12. Thank you Len. I've read your article over and over again and love how it all makes so much sence and is biblical. Myself and all my family are refusing to take this experimental vaccine and as a result will be loosing my job but i keep saying that God will provide and am standing on his word and praying he keeps us all strong in faith what ever comes our way.

    We are going through some tough restrictions and lockdowns here in Melbourne Australia and all i feel is Evil all around knowing this is not about a so called Pandemic is more of a PLANDEMIC to make the way for whats coming this is clear as day.

    I am saddened that my church is now divided between vaxed and non vaxed creating such division where some have argued the verse in Romans that says to OBEY THE GOVERNMENT and say that we are doing the wrong thing. How i see this verse is Yes i will obey that i need to stop at Red light when driving or Pay my tax's, fines, bills, or any other guidelines but when a Government is pushing so hard for a vaccine that is not safe and innocent people are getting sick and dying everything in my being is saying NO. Not to mention all the lies and no liability if anything happens to us or our family.

    I pray God gives us strength, courage and peace to stay the course and fight the good fight keeping us faithful till the end.
