MINISTRY MAIL BOX
One of the things we do here at Saints Alive is answer many questions from our partners and people who send us letters or inquires. We also take time pray with and counsel anyone who ask for our help!
- Hello are the people who took the COVID vaccine or vaccines going to go to hell?
Dear K.M., Thank you for your email question. The answer to your question is NO!
We do NOT believe that people who took the vaccines are going to hell, even if they have fetal cell ingredients in their make-up.
It’s not practical or realistic to expect anyone to have informed consent without full disclosure (that’s currently lacking.) None of us really know exactly what the true ingredients of the covid vaccines are because this information has been purposefully concealed from the public by the pharmaceutical companies and by our governments all around the world.
We do not think hiding the vaccine ingredients or the subsequent censorship of doctors who have different opinions is for any good reason and causes us to be suspicious and cautious about any decision regarding the vaccines or boosters on a personal level.
Let us pray that everything hidden in the dark will be revealed and exposed in the light!
It’s no secret there is a lot of misinformation on the internet and social media which sole purpose is to cause fear, emotional reactions, sow division and undermine our society (which includes the Body of Christ!)
This information warfare plays people and believers on both sides of this issue and it’s truly evil because it pushes us away from the unity God calls us to.
“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!”
Psalms 133:1
Thank God we have the written word of God to go to for questions and times like this. This is a very similar predicament faced by the apostles when the Jewish Christians had to face the addition of Gentiles into the early Church and even when they had to evaluate if they could eat non-kosher food.
This scripture is the best answer to your question in the Bible! Mark 7:14-17
14 When He had called all the multitude to Himself, He said to them, “Hear Me, everyone, and understand: 15 There is nothing that enters a man from outside which can defile him; but the things which come out of him, those are the things that defile a man. 16 If[f] anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!”
17 When He had entered a house away from the crowd, His disciples asked Him concerning the parable. 18 So He said to them, “Are you thus without understanding also? Do you not perceive that whatever enters a man from outside cannot defile him, 19 because it does not enter his heart but his stomach, and is eliminated, [g]thus purifying all foods?” 20 And He said, “What comes out of a man, that defiles a man. 21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, 22 thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness. 23 All these evil things come from within and defile a man.”
This is the perfect Biblical response to this question you asked.
No! The vaccines are not somehow effectively a “forbidden fruit” even with MRNA technology that might change your God given DNA and immune system.
If the vaccines work or don’t work, that doesn’t have any bearing on our personal relationship with Christ. However, we may still have consequences to deal with after our decisions one way or the other, such as illness, hospitalization, injury or even death.
At this point, we don’t know the truth about the vaccine ingredients such as fetal cell ingredients. When and if we do get the truth with full disclosure, then we’ll need to look at that ethically with a new light. I am not saying it’s ok to use fetal cells etc…
On a personal note, some of our family have been vaccinated and others have not been vaccinated. Regardless of each of our individual choices, we treat everyone with the same love and respect that Jesus gives everyone.
I know close family and friends who feel strongly that the vaccines have helped them and I personally know some people who had adverse reactions and some who were even injured by them. Everything in life has a risk factor and we need to be stewards of our own bodies/ temples!
I personally think that good nutrition, exercise, and a healthy lifestyle is by far the best way to protect yourself and others. Our health care system isn’t designed to treat the root causes of illnesses rather than just use medications and procedures to treat symptoms.
When I was discharged from the hospital, I was shocked by people (friends) who would message me asking if I was vaccinated BEFORE they even asked if I was ok or how I was doing! That’s when I realized I needed to keep my medical information private.
Like Paul says in 1 Corinthians 9:19-23 “I have become all things to all men, that I might save some.” Please go read that whole scripture chapter, it’s such an important concept for us believers to understand and live by during this difficult time in our culture.
For the vaccinated and pro-maskers, we need to understand and do our best to make them comfortable to be around us and stay in fellowship together.
And likewise, for the un-vaccinated and unmasked, we need to treat them with the kind of love Jesus Christ showed all of us on the cross. How would the one who washed his disciples’ feet treat an individual from either side of this divide? He would show them love, kindness and gentleness, even if it was personally uncomfortable for Himself. He would have issues with those trying to divide, control and profit from this pandemic.
The ONLY people Jesus ever hot upset with were the “religious” people/pharisees who tried to control everyone with their interpretation of the law. We sure have seen those same people in this pandemic crisis haven’t we? Christ’s love is unconditional, and His sacrifice was the ultimate! So as His followers, we must all take up our CROSS (DAILY), humble ourselves and love each other!
Always treat others with love and respect and remember that even if we make mistakes, we serve a loving God who has given us the ultimate gift, true life insurance and even if we die, we’re immediately in eternity together with Him.
Please do not allow this situation to cause your response to be that of fear, anger, hate, division, judgment towards others who have chosen a different path than you have with regards to covid vaccinations.
THAT is what Jesus warns about coming from the inside (our heart) to the outside! We must protect our heart from hardening and closing off our ability to love others and be Jesus in our sphere of influence.
I’ll end with this:
“Therefore, if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord of one mind. Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.” Philippians 2:1-4
