Police shut down church service during Sunday mass in Baltimore

Driving around you’ll see lots of signs canceling services at places of worship or moving to an online format.

[@radioflyer68911]

Sorry, but you'll have to override the constitution. It doesn't allow government to close churches.

[@Sniper_Cat_71]

The Constitution is a check on gubmint power, not individual rights. The United States is supposed to be a nation of laws, governors do not write laws. JBTs all of them. Governors don't get to abrogate the bill of rights and the US Constitution.

Sad day in America when you’re not allowed to go to church

[@redeemedbytheblood]

The devil is having way too much fun with the true believers of GOD, I mean if you are a true believer in the first place! PRAY for this Pastor and the rest of the PASTORS! Stop talking about them... The Bible is clear about meeting together and being on one accord! This is Coronavirus is exposing all evil things, but it’s working out for the good of them who LOVE the LORD and are the called, according too HIS purpose!! PASTOR my arms are link too yours... I STAND WITH YOU BROTHER!

[@shastafilmcrew5648]

Why are they not shutting down mosques? Only Christian churches?

[@caitlinsoliman1658]

They hate the true God! Anti Christ.

Quit harassing these pastors! They are following your laws!

[@ac-jn1iq]

Roland No I can’t see it as protection when they are following the guidelines and LIQUOR stores are open and grocery stores are filled with 100s of people not spaced apart at all. You’re really brainwashed.

[@mxnty0321]

a c grocery stores have limits in most places as to how many people can enter at a time. The reason liquor stores stay open is to support addicts because quiting cold turkey can be lethal for them. Churches are not a necessity. If it is such a problem then contact your pastor so he can set up online prayers on zoom

[@rodjohnson1000]

@@mxnty0321 F off. People like you are the problem here. Orders and guidelines are not LAWS!

[@ems3832]

Yet the abortion clinics, liquor stores, and marijuana/CBD dispensing stores are open...

[@fourleafclover2885]

I’m so sorry, Pastor Alvin. For you and your congregation. This was not right and we need to stop these out of control mayors and police forces from violating people’s rights.

[@thereasemiles2943]

Since you know the law pastor you and others like you should be marching down to the courthouses and file a partition to stop this madness. Stand your ground and start getting HOT for JESUS and not LUKEWARM.

[@colinwaite9471]

We should all go to church Easter Sunday

[@robertmcguckin2713]

Police officer is standing right there at the front door WITHOUT A MASK? The other tubby cop had no mask? If you want to enforce, show compliance yourself. Tired of police bending and breaking the law while. Hypocrisy!

[@rev.timothyhafner8108]

But the grocery store is ok?

[@xboxhater87]

I'm sick of this response can you eat prayers...is there some secret...

[@ems3832]

Abortion clinics, liquor stores and marijuana dispensaries are all open, too. Think about THAT, people...

[@xboxhater87]

Well I mean can you eat prayers ..can I FEED MY CHILD PRAYERS. FOOL

[@xboxhater87]

I think if a baby is not doing to well and the person carrying the baby getting sick from it is a reasonable thing when it's going to be life threatening like this virus....see what I did there..

[@southbeachmiamiart895]

Grocery stores are necessities. Churches are pretend.

[@tylerlaforest7917]

You should be able to sue this police department right? Not to mention airplanes are packed full guess the church isn’t paying off the politicians like the airports...

[@kb741103]

You know... for some reason I’ve seen multiple instances like this....cops come in droves to stop the service... since these cops weren’t looking at leaving maybe they should be witnessed to 😀👍

Homeland Security?

[@inhocsignovinces1081]

The subject line is misleading; there is no Sunday Mass inside a Baptist Church. Catholic parishes in the Archdiocese are in compliance with Governor's Hogan order.

[@cheken9163]

This is all in the Bible Amos 8:11 11"The days are coming," declares the Sovereign LORD, "when I will send a famine through the land- not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the LORD. The government wants God out of lives. Pray America. God is in control.

its truly sad but mosques bars restaurants beaches big gathering like walmart are still open.. To send police to close the church🤦.Man has always allowed a place of refuge churches was a place you could go into in the Times of trouble.

They will be punished for stopping the lords people from praising his name nobody should ever interfere with the free will of praising the lords name,by no means at all. They will truly be rewarded for what they did for the lord and God and not of any man.

The Holy word of God says do not forsake the gathering of yourselves together as the manner of some is. That is above a mans rule.

This was'nt a Catholic church therefore it was'nt a Mass.

@Roland You do realize that the mortality rate for influenza and Covid-19 are nearly identical, the key difference however is that influenza is far more infectious than Covid-19 and therefore the seasonal flu is deadlier than Covid-19

[@markwells6532]

This is not a freedom fight , it is a pandemic. If your walk with God is so weak that you need to hear the word from your Pastor only, then you are not following God at all, you are following a man. The Bible says to obey those in authority and The Church should be the 1st to display this example. There is a potential for people to become sick and die.I am a Minister and if I was Pastor of a Church I would not want. Gods people who He gave me to manage , to risk their health. I would be encouraging them to read their bibles and pray and seek God on their own

[@iveacendedboyos1555]

The church was under attack by satan and you agree with these measures?

[@patriotcitzen7116]

Brother Gwynn, I won't question your faith. But, in this instance, you seem to be behaving more devilish than Godly...My apology if this offends. The constitution does give you the right to assemble, vote, bear arms, as well as the freedom of religion, free speech, etc. But there are limits to those rights in matters of public safety. Being Godly doesn't simply require faith. Just as "Faith without works is dead"... Works without Wisdom is not true Faith, it's self-serving, and runs counter to the example a leader should exhibit to his or her followers. Fyi. Assembling on the internet is still assembling. Therefore, in this state of emergency "Let us not forsake assembling together". Make arrangements to assemble on Facebook, Instagram or KZbin. You can deliver your message daily and collect tithes on Facebook. If you need help just ask. I'd be more than happy to assist you. Peace & Blessings!

[@williamwilson6499]

PatriotCitzen I guess you missed the part where he said he was following the governor’s guidelines. If you are in compliance, but a bunch of nazi pigs show up anyway, you would not have a problem with it.

[@shades1756]

Sorry, but no. The United States government does not have the Constitutional authority to shut down churches and ban worship services.

[@patriotcitzen7116]

@@williamwilson6499 Don't quite know what issue you're speaking on, but, my issue was not with compliance, instead, it was about the wisdom of his actions. Boris Johnson complied with his own guidelines and now he's laid up in intensive care, correct. I could give you a million ways one can follow the law, yet fail to do what is wise. That said, feel free to do whatever YOU want. My message was an attempt to personally reach out to the minister. Hope he understood my message. Whether you do or don't has no effect on the situation, William.

[@ac-jn1iq]

Jesus was crucified by the government. The government told Radshack Meshach and Abednego to bow down and worship a statue. Government told Daniel to stop praying. Government told apostles to stop preaching in the name of Jesus. The mark of the beast comes from the government. Common sense tells Moses not to go back to Egypt. Common sense tells david not to fight Goliath. Common sense tells peter not to step off the boat. Don’t lean in your own understanding or you will be the first one to fall. It is not “devilish” to disobey the government IF the government is DISOBEYING GOD. Do not try to put God in your mental box because I guarantee you if what you are speaking doesn’t come from God Himself, the Holy Spirit, it will be dead WRONG. And you will think you’re saying something wise, and it will be anything BUT wise. Do not speak against this man
