Tell that to jesus . Leapers were in isolation in the bible days also.


And during Jesus time orthodox medicine was the same as it is now?

Would also like to know an instance in the Bible where Jesus attempted to break protocol in order to force himself into an isolation center to heal lepers

Are you 100% on this?
Have you ever seen a frog crossing a 4-lane road? Have you ever seen a monkey jump from one tree to another? Have you ever seen a deer approach a human being for food? Be careful that in setting your own path, you miss out on all that which always been right in front of your eyes. grin

Here's a great idea for those of you itching to do something for COVID-19 sufferers. In Matthew 25 vs 31 -46, Jesus outlines the qualifications for entering heaven. Essentially, the 6 acts of righteousness(the rock on which the church is built) that will quality anyone who is already saved to enter into his kingdom(yes, some of the saved will not make it).



Matthew 25 vs 34-40

34 “Then the king will say to the godly people on his right, ‘Come, my Father has great blessings for you. The kingdom he promised is now yours. It has been prepared for you since the world was made. 35 It is yours because when I was hungry, you gave me food to eat. When I was thirsty, you gave me something to drink. When I had no place to stay, you welcomed me into your home. 36 When I was without clothes, you gave me something to wear. When I was sick, you cared for me. When I was in prison, you came to visit me.’

37 “Then the godly people will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and give you food? When did we see you thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you with no place to stay and welcome you into our home? When did we see you without clothes and give you something to wear? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and care for you?’

40 “Then the king will answer, ‘The truth is, anything you did for any of my people here,[b] you also did for me.’

Some of the patients living in some of the isolation centers have complained that they are denied even food. If you have been paying attention to the news, there have been numerous cases of patients escaping isolation.
So here's an idea, you could organize to have food delivered to the centers regularly for the patients. Ofcourse you will likely not be let into the area where the patients are physically housed ( i hope the isolation centers are no prisons), but by obeying Jesus's command, you can be guaranteed through your faith in Christ(the gates of hell shall not prevail against the rock on which his church is built) that the food you take will in fact reach those you take them there for.

You see Jesus never said that by laying hands on the sick you will enter his kingdom. Nah! Only those who obey his commands will enter his kingdom. grin

True but is it better to do the works that Jesus did or to obey His commands? According to Jesus, doing the works He did will get one nowhere

Matthew 7vs 21-23 from ERV
21 “Not everyone who calls me Lord will enter God’s kingdom. The only people who will enter are those who do what my Father in heaven wants.
22 On that last Day many will call me Lord. They will say, ‘Lord, Lord, by the power of your name we spoke for God. And by your name we forced out demons and did many miracles.’
23 Then I will tell those people clearly, ‘Get away from me, you people who do wrong. I never knew you.’
But obeying his command is what He desires of us all.

John 14 vs 15 from ERV
15 “If you love me, you will do what I command. 16 I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper[a] to be with you forever.

Thread is heading for faith.
Well the concept of faith is usually applied to man. Instinct is one thing used in the concept of animals in place of faith most times, animals vdo believe X will occur when they do Y. E.g. An animal can put much faith instinct on its tactics to succeed, man could put faith (God) on his work to succeed.

It's not about quoting verse, understanding the meaning and the context of the content too it's quite helpful.
Some hear but, do not have faith. Some have faith only after seeing proof.
Bless you.

Just get yourself infected first, then walk right straight to any isolation center, once you're in you can perform the miracles just as Jesus cleansed the leapers of his time! Mark 1:40-45

Meaning you dont believe in the name of Jesus

Well the OP is not talking about believing in the name of Jesus, that's another topic entirely.
Covid19 patients surely have families and i'm certain that at least a member of their family will be praying for them in the name of the God they believe somewhere.
But since the OP insistent on prayer, this means being with the patients and that is not possible now because the authorities are trying to prevent the spread of the virus.
So if anyone wants to pray in the presence of Covid19 patients, surely such a person can only beat the protocols by getting infected then the opportunity to be in the midst of Covid19 patients will be open.
That's the time to perform whatever such a person feels is better than prayers from home! smiley

Well i think it's easier when the outbreak began because all the so called Pastors ran for cover when the pandemic began.
Instead of going straight to the government to prove their ability to heal all manner of sicknesses as they used to make shows on TV, none of them show up when the government began deliberating on the next thing to do.
Is it now that their business centers is locked down due to orders given to prevent the spread that they're now coming to talk shit?
Please if anyone have anything to do let them get infected and confirmed, then they will be locked up with other patients, there they can prove before everyone that the miracles they present on TV are not just stage shows but real! grin grin grin

Oga nobody know you abegi, if those big names in church business took this serious from the start nobody will deprive them of meetings one on one with Covid19 patients.
A pastor did in America and died of Covid19.
So instead of all these arguments, pray to God so that you can be infected move closer to all those who can have it, stop using nose masks and continue going for check up from time to time.
Once you've been confirmed as a patient you'll have direct access to other patients, then you can perform your miracles there Sir! cheesy
