WA, Australia. Only been 2 mask mandates, each a week long. Everyone was masked both times. I just didn't go those weeks, rather just worship at home with my dad then sit muffled for an hour. I think it's just completely disrespectful and borderline blasphemous to sing and pray with half your face covered.
Dress standard is pretty high, suits, dresses, casual formal Etc, no wearing hats because it's disrespectful but if the government tells you to cover half your face they'll all bend over backwards.
It pissed me off, the doctrine is sound, the people are good. But we (not just this church but Christianity in general) keep making 'small' concessions to keep their freedom of religion. Societies morals have been degrading since the 60s and all we do is just let the gradual osmosis happen. Compared to the early church, who blatantly disobeyed Roman authorities to practice their faith under penalty of death. We won't even assemble without the governments permission, under the threat of what? A fine? Jail? We've all gone soft, God help us when they decide compliance is not enough and start actual persecution again.
A countries leaders may be part of the cabal, doesnt mean we should hate anyone in that country purely on the basis of their ethnicity or nationality. Im not going to condemn some random taxpayer in Israel that I dont even know just because their countries caught up in some shady shit.
Well yes it's cultural adaption, people still want to celebrate holidays after you convert them so you substitute the pagan message with a Christian one. Same thing happening today except materialism trying to replace Christian values
Yeah, ive found the most effective way of redpilling is to convey ideas like a leftist would and pretend to have your on moment of awakening right infront of them. Sheep follow other sheep, not lions. However what if the lion was dressed as a sheep..
You gotta give them time to come to the conclusion yourself, it's much easier to believe a deduction you came to then it is to believe one someone else told you.
