Last year I removed a bunch of people after the BLM riots. I know how communism works and could see that these people would be the ones to rat me out if it ever came to it.
So my list of friends is drastically lower, and most are pretty right wing. Well this friend of mine, who a couple years ago got a job at a hospital making sanitation policy, came at me about a question I had regarding medical staff being threatened over vaccine hesitation. I didn't understand why they would threaten to fire staff if they were already so severely strapped.
Long story short, instead of answering the question, he came at me emotionally and talked about some of what he saw. I replied with my concerns about the authoritarian measures being taken, the VAERS reporting, the flu cases disappearing, etc.
His reply was long, emotional, and honestly painful. He accused me of having an attitude that killed people, that I had no empathy and didnt care about people dying. I've been sitting here for a few days thinking about it. Granted I don't see what is happening in some of these hospitals.
I'm sure there are places where things ARE bad. But damn it if this division isn't heart-wrenching. I'm not gonna convince him that he can't see the forest for the trees, and he's never gonna convince me that the vax is the right thing to do. It just sucks that someone would essentially accuse me of killing someone. But worse, it sucks I am losing someone I considered to be a good friend over an issue of medical freedom.
Matthew 10
“34 “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to turn
“‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law— 36 a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’[c] 37 “Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39 Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.”
Luke 21
“16 You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers and sisters, relatives and friends,(J) and they will put some of you to death. 17 Everyone will hate you because of me.(K) 18 But not a hair of your head will perish.(L) 19 Stand firm, and you will win life.(M)”
We are more than just these quaking flesh bags we call our bodies. We are eternal beings of spirit and gloriously created in God’s image.
Be not afraid.
