Science has been proven wrong again and again. Yet many men boast in science and denigrate Christianity. They claim that science is rational and faith is irrational. An utter absurdity which only the least objective person could proffer. Science has often been irrational -we have seen a taste of it over the last two months- and faith is full of rational thought and reason. Faith is not irrational, nor without reason. In fact, reason is part of what brings men to faith. 36 min.----Links to things referenced in the sermon-----Deaths due to medical error- https---www.cnbc.com-2018-02-22-medical-errors-third-leading-cause-of-death-in-america.html----600 physicians letter- https---www.forbes.com-sites-gracemarieturner-2020-05-22-600-physicians-say-lockdowns-are-a-mass-casualty-incident--fbclid-IwAR1-5XQElM8NHIejan28tdePKSFWJNK3TbBNU-LhTThSrw6eMT4V1i9Oapw-68059f1250fa----Stanford News- https---news.stanford.edu-2015-11-16-fraud-science-papers-111615-----Professor John Ionnidis paper- https---journals.plos.org-plosm

Because we have given the state the place of God - and have declared the state to be God by virtue of how we think and conduct our lives - the Lord has given us over to that god. He is allowing us to get our bellies full of the state. He will show us what a taskmaster the state is.----Remember the Jews after they were delivered from Egypt- In Ex. 16 they complained about how their bellies were not full like back in Egypt. They were slaves back in Egypt - but no problem with that as long as their bellies were full.----And that is how most Americans are. Slaves to the state. And they are good with it - as long as their bellies are full. 38 min.

God's Word speaks to all matters of life, including the matter of quarantining. The Lord speaks of this in His law in Leviticus 13. And when we look at the law of God we see one thing that comes through loud and clear - you do NOT quarantine the whole of society - rather you quarantine the sick.----There is also a process in God's law to follow to determine who is sick. You do not abridge the rights and freedom of everyone and shut down the whole of society. In this we see the goodness and grace of God's law. God's law is more gracious and protects freedom more than man's law. God's law doesn't destroy the economy and lives of others. God's prescription was intended to protect society not only from the disease, but from economic hardship upon those who weren't diseased. You don't abridge every other person's freedom - you quarantine the sick.----Important links from this sermon---Position paper by doctor from Tennessee- http---mercyseat.net-mscc-docs-COVID-19-Analysis.pdf-fbclid-IwAR2BSzqVuVxUDrDEDPnHg-Vn4H9l

In Christian history, apart from Jerusalem, no other city of the Roman Empire played as large a part in the life of the early church as Antioch of Syria. It was the home base of Paul's outreach to the eastern half of the empire. It was the place believers were first named -Christians.- It was the place where the dispute about whether the Gentile converts had to be circumcised or not and other Jewish customs arose. It was the birthplace of foreign missions -13-2-. And it had among its teachers - Barnabas, Paul, and Peter in the first century- Ignatius and Theophilis in the 2nd century- and Lucian, Theodore, and Chrysostum at the end of the third century.
