The disagreement seems to be whether or not the magistrate went beyond the roles they are given by God.

Many, if not the majority of Christians I know believe, that requiring the Church to shut down during the pandemic seem to believe obeying the government is the “loving your neighbor”, thing to do.
Some of them believe that the government went overboard; but according to many believe under the circumstances it was understandable.
I think that is a lot of hogwash. Sometimes I felt like I needed to walk on egg shells, because of my stand even among family members.
Some of who are in the medical field and are open that they feel Churches who disobeyed the government lockdowns during Covid, deserved any repercussions they got. I am happy to say, that although some pastors already served time in jail. All of them were found not guilty when their court cases finally happened.

I am not exactly quiet about my views on the issue. So it required a lot of restraint and prayer on my part. Yet, I am afraid that on at least two occasions, I acted out in the flesh and I put my adult daughter in tears.
