This is an interesting one, relating to what Romans says about governments. More specifically Romans 13:1-2, with the topic being mask mandates.

"Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. "

My explanation is that this ONLY works in a christian homogenous setting, like in the time of yonder, and does not apply to apostate states. I'm still new to Christianity, so my interpretation is based purely on what I read in Kings and Numbers, as well as Deuteronomy and Exodus. Their interpretation though was that Christians are to be accepting of other people.

My opinion on the matter was that I am NOT responsible for people who are afraid of their own shadows, and hence the concept of being nice to others no longer applies when malice and manipulation are at play. Anyways, I pissed them off for a while, but I'd like peoples' take on this one.

"...And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name."

"nah bro not the same thing because..."

"...And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. doesnt say who is meant to do it to us or why. It does say you will take the mark willingly

"Oh no, i wont take the mark, you could kill me but i wont take it, but thats not the mark"

my government is forcing these conditions on me. they are breaking the laws that they had previous enacted to prevent exactly this. they are no longer acting within the laws they created, nor are the acting within gods law or protecting the people, therefore my government is not acting within his word and i have no obligation towards them. my duty is to God and my neighbours.
