Is It ‘Informed Consent’ If The Facts Are Suppressed?
“It appears that in many cases, there has not been ‘valid consent’ because of undue pressure, coercion, manipulation and withholding of risks. This is wicked and shameful, particularly considering that we are supposed to be a democratic and free society.”
I Trust the Science, but Not the Political Agenda Being Injected Into the Pharmaceutical Industry
“When coercion and tyranny are some of the tools being used in the process, the impression many people have is that the pharmaceutical industry is not really in it to help people but to get filthy rich, primarily, treating people’s welfare as a secondary trivial matter.”
Why I’m Still a Religious Conscientious Objector to the Vaccine
“Is the fact that ethical vaccines for COVID are not being developed rather heavily predicated on the fact that we cooperated with the system over the last few decades in using morally objectionable common childhood vaccines where we could have demanded ethical alternatives that already existed?”
Christian Leaders, Fight for the Conscience of Your People: Vaccine Mandates and Letters of Exemption
“Will the Confessing Church ever learn that majority decision in matters of conscience kills the spirit?” Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Dear Parishioners, We’re All In This Together But Not All Of You
“We have also reluctantly engaged the services of a security company for this 3 week period, and a security officer will be present to enforce the public health orders where necessary.”
Pastor Who Urged Readers Not to Sign “Divisive” Ezekiel Declaration Will Exclude Unvaccinated From Worship Gatherings
“So, rather than ‘courageously refusing to place limits on who may gather together with the people of God,’ the ‘reasonable’ and ‘fair’ approach, according to this pastor, includes suspending unvaccinated people from public worship because it’s only ‘temporary,’ and the prohibition isn’t limited to the gathering of God’s people.”
Why Are Christian Leaders Undermining Conscience and Human Rights?
We must strongly oppose the campaign being waged by some evangelical intellectuals to de-legitimise the concerns and emotions that lie behind Covid vaccine hesitancy and thereby void the church’s responsibility to speak up about significant human rights violations.
Relief Is Coming for the Hesitant
“Freely given consent to any medical treatment, particularly in the context of a clinical trial, is not optional. Coercion is completely incompatible with consent, and denying a person the ability to work and participate in society if the person does not have a COVID vaccine will unquestionably breach this fundamental and internationally recognised human right. Can COVID vaccinations be mandated by employers on health and safety grounds? The short answer to this question, in almost every case, is no.”
Separation of Church and State… Except When It’s Convenient for the State to Interfere
“Unfortunately for Christians in Australia, we don’t have clear constitutional provisions to point at when the state and territory government gets uncomfortably involved in religious affairs. It seems that while Section 116 of our constitution protects us from the Federal government messing with religion, the States and Territories get free reign.”
Thousands of Australian Workers Are Set to Strike in a United Protest Against “No Jab, No Job” Mandates
Future generations will note how today’s public health orders created tomorrow’s public health crisis.
An Important Update from the Authors of the Ezekiel Declaration
“We did not expect to get this much traction with our letter, but we praise God that he has used three ‘poorly trained and uneducated ministers’ (to quote our critics) to draw attention to a very serious issue, and we believe, a very serious threat to the unity of the Church.”
My Nagging Feeling
“I was born and brought up as one of four missionary children in Tanzania. I still remember to this day the lepers in the streets… The church there in Morogoro did not stop the sick from entering and was open to all.”
“We Are Being Lied To and It Is Far From Being a ‘Conspiracy Theory'”
The professionals I spoke with today assure me that we, as a nation are being railroaded, we are being lied to and it is far from being a “conspiracy theory”. As a nation, we are facing some very serious issues and time will expose them all.
Is Safety More Important Than Church?
“By now we know how to keep safe and healthy. We know the risks of leaving home to partake in essential activities. Yet, many churches are still operating on the internet as if it were an online college degree.”
Don’t Let the Shepherds Silence You On Digital Vaccine Passports
If we once normalise an unbiblical divide like this in church, we are searing the consciences of our members and setting ourselves up for long-term segregation whether mandated or not because we have NOT clearly said, “It is wrong.”
Hundreds of Church Leaders Sign Open Letter Calling for a Re-Opening of Churches in Australia
“In a health crisis with no clear end in sight, the alarming increase in suicide, alcoholism, and depression, the pressing need to hold public worship should be even more evident,” the letter states.
Vaccine Passports for Worship Place Members Under Church Discipline for Illegitimate Reasons
“In the end, to ban healthy believers from public worship for any reason other than unrepentant sin, including those based on whatever arbitrary medical treatments the government deems necessary at any particular time of the day, is to ultimately exchange the gracious staff of the Great Shepherd for the often cruel and unforgiving rod of Caesar.”
Ten Reasons Why Online Church is Not Real Church
Now is the time to insist that churches be re-opened. For everyone: vaccinated and unvaccinated.
Five Reasons the Church Should Oppose A Vaccine Passport System
“The church would be appalled at any sort of racial/ethnic prejudice or segregation, but now in some quarters, segregation that Christ has not established, is being lauded as a solution for a return to normalcy. If there is no Jew nor Greek in the church, why should the vaccinated and unvaccinated be segregated?”
Mandatory Vaccinations Turn the State Into Master and the Citizen Into Slave
“The door that allows Government to get away with mandating medical procedures under threat of losing your livelihood, gives them the power to mandate the theft of your land, your house, your savings, your kids, and your property.”
