What should have been a purely scientific response aimed at control and cure of a disease quickly evolved into the political-religious cult of Covidism. Objective scientific analysis of and responses to what is the contagious pathogen COVID-19 were almost immediately suffocated by a plethora of arbitrary pseudo-religious rituals.
The capitulation of the churches to rituals radically modifying and even antagonistic to Christian rites may be because the Church, continually rent by internal crises and scandals, did not recognize the rival religion when it appeared.

Amen. A couple of weeks ago I watched my former pastor on live stream thundering from the pulpit, "So what this passage tells us is that when we have God on our side, we have nothing to fear!" Except germs and media lies, that is.

The rival religion is humanism. Humanism, a combination of atheism and secularism by man trying to create his own salvation.
Satan is constantly seeking to deceive man and lead them to call sin righteousness, and righteousness sin.
Men who are but agents of Satan are praised and flattered, while those who should be respected and sustained for their true fidelity to God and His truth are left to stand alone under suspicion and distrust.
Counterfeit holiness, spurious sanctification, is still doing the work of deception. They divert minds from the Holy Scriptures and lead man to follow their own feelings and impressions rather than to yield obedience to the law of God.
The ancient Israeli under Moses who was slain for idolatry and immorality, numbered 24,000 having fallen away from God by committing whoredom with the daughters of Moab and bowing down to their gods. God called it a plague upon His people.
Today the god of liberalism and immorality has taken over most of Americans and the world. They bow to lusts of the flesh worshiping immorality and turn away from God.
The plague of Satanism, atheism, humanism and secularism, has taken control of the world.

The NEA is controlled by Satan's servants who worship America's only recognized government authorized religion allowed to be taught in American schools, "Humanism" the religion of Satan.
Our Supreme Court ruled in 1961 that "Humanism" is a religion.
The NEA has turned American government education into worshiping a false religion, a religion that worships Satan, working to destroy God Our Father creator.
Look up the thousands of quotes by the NEA teachers union leadership professing the destruction of Christianity as a rotting corpse, teaching "Humanism", the religion of Satan eight hours a day in government schools and private university's. Twenty four hours a day by government, media and entertainment, teaching everything that is pure evil and an abomination of sinfulness which will cause all who worship "Humanism" to perish losing their souls.
New World Order of evil is Globalist Marxist Communist One World Government of Satanism by Marxist Communist democrats, rino's, liberals, independents, etc., as foretold in Gods' Holy Bible book of Daniel.

Seems like the American Church committed suicide at a time it was sorely needed.

There is another article that Biden will make abortion "the law of the land" also pinpoints to the decline in church attendance. When a church has leadership that is contrary to God's ways, it would seem to fall in the category of false teaching. Seems to be a lot of it going around.

Most churches caved like little houses built from matchsticks. When the time comes to face the lions they will not be ready. Satan is smiling.

This is not difficult. "If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything."
Most churches stand for nothing. No creed, no doctrine, no confession. No God.
No truth. No help.
The Episcopal Church, for instance, is gripped by Project 2020. Implemented in 2000, this program was designed to sheep-steal all the gay members of the Metropolitan Church and seduce them with smells and bells. It failed. The gays did not come over, and if they did they did not bring their money with them.
Instead of doubling, the Episcopal Church declined by at least one-half.
Hooray for experts.
Soon there will be no more money and no more Episcopal Church.
Get woke, go broke.

My church has been better than most. We were one of the first to start services months ago. We are not required to wear masks. They switched to what I call the "happy meal" for the Lord's supper, which is a self contained juice and cracker - no big deal. We wave instead of shaking hands.
But my friend in California has a church that announced they are closed down until the first of the year!
It is not the responsibility of the church to keep all its members well. It is the responsibility of the church to spread the Gospel message to the lost, to train and equip its members and to promote the Word of God as truth in a generation that has lost its way.

I am glad I read this article. Recognizing my anger is step number one in getting through it. Sadly, I had ignored one of the most important messages Jesus taught us, ''Be not deceived.''

Churches are hardly like Branch Davidians. Churches are more like Stepford Wives. At least the Roman Catholic church is. Meek. Obeying. Fearful of death. Not a good look.

The first century church as described in the book of Acts would not be able to recognize the current one. Churches now are run like corporations with the pastors as CEOs. Their only interest is getting bodies in the pews; their favorite gospel is the prosperity gospel which some preach almost incessantly. And we have TV pastors who promise their viewers that for 50 bucks or "your best offering" you will receive the miracle you desire. Meanwhile these pastors are living the lifestyles of the rich and famous while the people who were conned into sending donations are most likely struggling.
Many churches are also 501c3 entities which ties them into government control of their congregations if or when the government chooses; the churches must bow to the government rather than to the Lord. They have forgotten what scripture says about loving God vs. loving Mammon.
With a few exceptions the Church is as corrupt as our political systems.
God sees into each heart and mind. At some point I believe that he will expose that corruption and church as we know it today will be a thing of the past.

Providentially, Pastor John MacArthur here in CA is fighting LA mayor and city, however, for the forth time, Grace Community Church has won, the courts have agreed and said can stay open, it’s both a biblical mandate and a constitutional one. Even when first told by governor not to have services, members came to worship.
City tried to close a parking lot, rented for over 40 years. Neighbor Synagogue said to use their 150 spaces each Sunday, then judge ruled in church’s favor that city lease could not be cancelled. Now room for 150 more cars! Isn’t that just like God!
God is still at work saving souls in CA, as my church here is getting lots of new visitors in Cupertino.
“Come unto Me all ye heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.”
President Trump called Dr. MacArthur, he agreed after some governors said differently, that churches are to open across America!
