Good talk, but may not be so smart
If the market place will lead to more people contacting the virus, then get the food to the houses or do we want the people that will purchase the food to all get sick...

Who then will buy the food moreso what happens when the seller falls sick

a lot of churches will start doing strange experiments with the virus. some will totally ignore existence while others may start drinking d pastors sweat as a protection for d virus

a lot of churches are very matured, but if u have to open churches then every church must be included. most pastors are even calling it a scam so they will have more time to indoctrinate their members

let churches remain closed for now, d Bible said wisdom is profitable for all. it will not last very long and we will go back to church

Its God that can say . If that's what killed him. And what does it matter . Stephen died while preaching. Should we stop evangelism because stephen was stoned.

Well The bible describe your type .

Titus 1:16
They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

Market has been open for more than 2 month, person don come complain to you Sai him catch corona.

How can you compare market and church when it comes to corona.

Church wuna go sit down for one place for more than 2 hours with the same set of people, who don ever sit down for one place with the same person for market reach 1 hour. Market you enter collect wetin you wan and bounce.

Should I continue to explain to your dumbass logically why opening of market is more important than bringing your religion sentiment into it.

There is not enough love for everyone on earth, let alone giving it to an imaginary being.

Yes, you are. The percentage of student in school are more knowledgeable about basic sense and adhere to instructions.

Compare that with the greater percentage of not so knowledgeable people that believe their father would protect them from corona and misbehaving in churches by trowing all courteous away.

How dumb do you feel after reading this?

It's very senseless to compare the death of Stephen with d death of a pastor defying health regulations
And u will be very blind to think dat evangelism is being hindered by closure of churches. so to u it's only in d church dat d gospel is preached?

Where is that in your bible . Is leprosy not contagious jesus touched lepers. He's hearing you.

I'm not blind. The church is an assembly.

Hebrews 10:25
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

How obedient was the early church when they were told not to preach in his name. If you were alive that time I'm sure you will join them to stone Paul justifying your action as obedience to government.

John 16:2
They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.

Please be analytic in your thinking... markets create economic values yes

What sustains it...
Please think well b4 talking


So whilst creating economic value the people should become infected... and then deaths increase how valuable is the economy with the number of deaths increasing.. who will do the buying and selling

If the markets can be open the church should be OPEN..

There are fewer persons in an organised church hall than in MILE 12 market...

If we follow the guidelines by the NCDC and the models given to us opening the markets should have led to a huge number of deaths..my point is this is not science ...

Let the church open up or shut down everywhere simple..


How can an office with 200 persons function and a church with 100 persons meeting for 4 hours or less not function

Its all about benefit outweighing risk.

The benefit of opening markets for commercial activities outweighs the risk of spreading the virus. People need to feed and economy must run irrespective to avoid total chaos.

You can’t say same about opening churches. The benefits of opening churches in this scenario is far unsubstantiated.

The government should stand up for what is right..

Thats how they said dont go out in America, stay inside and live.. but the riots on street are not following CDC guidelines and the same people are sayung protests are legal..

Whats going on?

Why did they not just chase everyone inside and say protest online..thats because the protests need people coming together to fight a cause that will benefit some people... now everyone os on the streets and funny enough.. the number of deaths have reduced..

The churches should be open..
Simple, if the markets can open the churches can open..

This just further butresses My point exactly..

Why do we want them to die from the "killer virus" by allowing them to go to places where we said the infection rate is very high and the virus will kill them

If they can go to the market
They can go to church *end of story*
