craigslist deleted the post less than 12 hours later. wow. I really am looking for a Pastor that has not succumbed to these covid lies. Currently the Pastor of my church still requires masks and supports the vaccine and boosters fully. He believes there is no conspiracy to enslave us. Im at a loss. How can these people of God have no discernment on what is really happening? how? I love my Pastor but he's lost in this how?

Matthew 8 verse 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. And the the Lord's Prayer starts at verse 9
I think Jesus is saying we don't need an intermediary between ourselves and God. Therefore, any State requirement that we need to be a member of a State approved church (which is against the Constitution) is also not mentioned in the Bible, at least in the New Testament.
That verse is talking about not boasting about your religion or praying in public to get some sort of virtue signalling credit, to not try to make yourself look better to others or to claim you're closer to God than others so you're therefore better, things like that. That when you pray, be alone, don't show off to others or boast about your religion. Don't think you're better than others because you pray. Just do it quietly and without fanfare in a personal way with God. It is not saying we don't need pastors or churches. I tend to think pastors are overrated too, but that's not what that verse is talking about.
