Just Saying
Dave in Tenn:
*maybe later*
Dennis Vogel:
All kinds of discussions on the Internet with very little absolute proof other than the usual greed and corruption.
My biggest problem with the 'hoax' theories are all the crematories and funeral homes unable to keep up with the body count at times in various countries around the world. Never happened before. Even NYC is using refrigerated truck trailers to store bodies.
The number of dead is not that unusual, but it's the compressed speed it's occurring that shows me that something is very different. The chance that there are thousands of people around the world in on a massive hoax is zero.
Extol:
Conspiracy theories are interesting--they can even be fun--but their implausibility is not the main reason I don't embrace them. The ultimate reason I don't care--even if they are true--is I believe in a sovereign God.
God has declared the end from the beginning (Isa. 46:10)...whether the virus came from "natural" causes or was manufactured in a North Carolina lab and sold to China.
God works all things together for good (Rom. 8:28)...whether the media lies to us or not.
God has decided the length of our lives and knows exactly how many months we will live (Job 14:5)...whether we die by heart attack falsely reported, or by a real coronavirus.
God works all things according to the counsel of His will (Eph. 1:11)...whether 5g is off or on.
The kingdoms of this world have become those of our Lord and of His Christ (Rev. 11:15)...whether it is a "One World Kingdom" or 200 separate kingdoms.
Why would I care if the media lies to me? I go to the Word of God for truth, not to newspapers. If they are lying, God will judge them accordingly; but I'm not going to stand on a street corner with a protest sign. We, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells (2 Pet. 3:13). That is more exciting to me than trying to correct our present government or expose the media.
As Dave said, "Ignorance, pride, and fear-mongering." I think pride is the most appealing part of a conspiracy theory. What a great feeling to know the truth while everyone else is ignorant! It is the same attitude harbored by so many of Ray's readers, whom he reprimanded for seeking truth only so they could show up their pastors.
Is that why you believe this, Shawn? What good does it do, or what difference does it make, if your theory is actually true? I ask sincerely. What is the next "step"? Is it to tell all your neighbors so they can be enlightened? Here is some better news to tell them: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people's sins against them (2 Cor. 5:19). If you feel victimized and angry because of the media, try living in the slums of Mumbai for a few weeks. You'll soon be pining for merry old Georgia, corrupt newspapers and all.

My wife works at the local hospital. COVID-19 is no hoax. Yes. the patient population is reduced (NOT EMPTY), but that is because there is a concerted effort to keep as many out as possible during this pandemic. For example, no elective surgery. Emergencies only.

By "research" you mean perusing the same conspiracy-theory sources you've claimed you want to get away from.
--- Quote ---Viruses CAN NOT be spread airborne (so much for social distancing..), and can only be contracted via injection (ie. through vaccines)
--- End quote ---
Completely untrue. The various strains of influenza, and the group of "common cold" rhinoviruses are airborne.
--- Quote ---Despite what the media says, independent journalists all over have shown that hospitals are EMPTY.
--- End quote ---
Meaningless, even if anecdotally accurate. Where are these "empty" hospitals? They are not in NYC, New Orleans, and various other population centers around the world.
--- Quote ---CDC gave an order for death records to purposely be falsified.. If someone died from underlying causes, whether it's heart attack, cancer, etc they are to be labelled as 'Death due to Coronavirus'
--- End quote ---
The CDC is a government entity. If it gave such an order, it would be a matter of public record. If it was some sort of "private" order, how did your "sources" obtain it? Either way, provide some documentation for said order. My gut tells me some self-aggrandizing individual who thinks he knows more than he does misunderstood what he read. and spouted off. That's the "good" alternative.
--- Quote ---I do believe SOME of the mass deaths associated with this are due to weaponized 5g in some areas.. and will likely be 'turned on' as more people start to wake up to this global lie.. this 'Great Deception' that has fooled the masses/sheep.

You can believe what you want. I suppose if somebody has to believe it, it's better you than me. If it is going to be posted here, however, expect blowback. "Posts in this forum do not necessarily reflect the view of L. Ray Smith or the BT forum."
By the way, there is nothing scripturally which should embolden any of us to insult sheep.
--- Quote ---Pray for discernment brothers/sisters. I believe hard times are ahead.

You pray too. I believe you need it worse than I do. But I could be wrong. I'm going to hang onto this post until the truth becomes more evident. Not that that will do everybody any good.
I don't want to play whack-a-mole with this or any other such posts. I don't want the BT forum to become Conspiracy-theory Central. MOSTLY, I just want the readers of this forum to understand that not all of "us" are prone to think the same way. *And I see as I was typing that evidence of that has appeared*.
