@rbhill saidI am not fearful for myself personally, but I am fearful. I am fearful for my elderly mother and my health compromised brother-in-law because I don’t want to lose them and despite whatever spiritual assurances I may feel about salvation or the presence of God, there is no assurance that they won’t lose their lives.

Here’s what I mean in scriptural analogy:
When the angel of death descended on Egypt it was indiscriminate in taking lives. Those who obeyed God and stayed inside and smeared blood on their door posts were spared. If an Egyptian had entered one of the Hebrew homes they also would have been spared. It was the law of the event.
What is the law of this coronavirus event? To be in Christ isn’t sufficient to survive it, and to pretend otherwise is a lie. Christians will die. Christian friends will die. So if and when a vaccine becomes available, will you take it?
If so why would you, if you are not fearful?
Yes I am fearful.
Yes there is a place where fear can not overcome.
No I am not in that place.

@divegeester saidMy dad is in a care home. He had an electrical misfire in his heart January 4 of last year. I am at peace because one of his Christian friends led him to Jesus Christ. So I am at peace if my dad doesn’t make it from the coronavirus or anything else. I know his eternity is secure. If I had a missionary family members go overseas and was martyred for sharing their faith I’d be at peace too! I’m sure being martyred you will be honored more then any in heaven after Jesus. But having all about Jesus! I wouldn’t mind being the gate keeper in heaven!

@rbhill saidWell you can be pleased that Jesus won’t be burning your dear old Dad alive in hell right. Who mourns for the billions who will be kept alive forever and tormented day and night? Who fought for them and lost? Victory of the cross!!? Don’t make me laugh. If you believe in hell then there is NO victory of the cross. I am not fearful of hell because it doesn’t exist. It is an idea, a vision of a world without Christ. I am not drawn to Christ through fear of hell, your video link talked about fear and yet the doctrine of external suffering is built on it.

No I am more fearful of losing people I love in the here and now to Christ in eternity. I want to be with them now!

@rbhill saidIf a Christian was working at a church in Tokyo or Seoul or Sydney or Jakarta or Milan dies of coronavirus, you think it is martyrdom?

@divegeester saidI didn’t come to Christ for fear of hell. But obviously getting saved in redeems you don’t go to hell!

I came to Christ to have a relationship here and now and after!

@rbhill saidOk let us assume every Christian is like you and me in this regard.
I didn’t come to Christ for fear of hell. But obviously getting saved in redeems you don’t go to hell!
I came to Christ to have a relationship here and now and after!
So tell me what is the point of hell?
What is the point of telling people about it?
