Most people I know very sick with the flu this years are all super saved and love Jesus, so I dont think religion ad faith has anything to do with catching a virus.
I never once got a flu shot yet:
.... haven't had the flu in over 50 years
.... I ignore the "gimmicks"
.... I tend to think things like Miracle Ministries are yesterday's traveling medicine show
.... nor do I think religion ad faith has anything to do with not catching a virus
.... nor do I think religion per say has anything to do with catching \ not catching a virus.

Not too long ago, our local TV station had a segment which had medical research experts that had findings which indicated that people who get the flu shot do increase their immune system for the current season, only to be that much more weakened the following season.

Some are lazy but as for others it's a matter of hate \ bigotry \ mean spirited \ oppertunistic situation to vent the emnity as God said would happen in Genesis and Jesus said not being surprised that the world hates you.

Well said. This is a matter that needs much more attention and research than listening to whoever is on the TV at the moment, or whatever big story is in the paper at the moment. There's much more to what's going on than "get vaccine" vs. "don't get vaccine". I too am in agreement that the body is ultimately more vulnerable due to these types of vaccinations. We might get some short term benefit, and the doctors and pharma-kings get their moment of glory and applause while the attention is on, but the bigger picture and long-term situation is important too.

Except when flipping tables, rebuking the disciples and embarrassing the Pharisees.

Problem is the evangelicals pick and choose who they see as being "christian" based on their interpretation of god in their image.

No one hates you. You are dying to tell others they are not Christian, and you are being prevented.

When you tell other Christians they are not Christian, you cause unnecessary animosity and argument. You and BP have had your wings clipped and have been tamed on this forum.

Weird...because we see the NON-Christians picking and choosing who they see as Christians based on THEIR interpretation, as well.

We simply take them at their word. There is no Christian quiz, and you personally do not use scripture to make your point.

Your wings have been clipped. You cannot do what you love to do, which is telling others they are not Christian.

Jesus wasn't being a bigot nor hateful when the tables were over turned or declaring that those who doesn't confirm to a liberal social agenda are shouts located in the country of BIGOTS and HATERS.

Nor for that matter did he "embarrassed" them to "embarrass" them.
He refused to be what they wanted him to be which was mainly to remove Roman rule and a welfare \ health care provider savior, ... and don't tell me about my sin.
