Religious Exemption Temporary VICTORY In New York

In what is appearing to be one of the most TYRANNICALLY led states in the United States, both at the Governorship and Mayoral level, the COURTS have agreed to entertain further deliberation on RELIGIOUS FREEDOM as it pertains to vaccine mandates and employment for Nurses and other Healthcare workers and related employees in NY's healthcare system in including NY City.

What Is At Risk?

The livelihood, professional status and family financial security and wellbeing of an estimated 650,000 healthcare professionals is at risk due to a OVERREACH and apparently PERVERTED interpretation of civil rights and religious and personal freedom in America due to covid 19 and its delta variant. Remember, this is the same covid 19 from which there was a 99+% recovery rate BEFORE there was an alleged vaccine to address it, even with inadequate medical prevention which still yet exists in many places. By the way, as of this writing, last year, without a vaccine, the INFECTION numbers were actually LESS than they are now. 

So What's The Deal?

Although an appellate court 3 judge panel has upheld the TRO (Temporary Restraining Order) against the mass firing of hospital workers and employees who refuse to vaccinate under the Governor's EO, by simply refusing to take any action at all, these shoddy political officials continue to bully and vow that their intrusive, and dictatorship inspired reign of terror will not be stopped.

That information can be found HERE

Looking like a modern day, JIM JONES IN A SKIRT, NY Governor Kathy Hochul has even gone so far as to say getting the vaccine is "God's will" for everyone...

She further says this HERE

“...you know there’s people out there who aren’t listening to God and what God wants. You know who they are.”

THEY are YOU Governor "Jim Jones" Hochul!

At the same time, hospital workers refusing vaccine, are yet being confronted with a "vax or else" mandate with no option for weekly testing and further disciplinary actions such as suspension or even termination. In the event of termination, NO UNEMPLOYMENT insurance compensation will be available to these employees, once hailed as HEROES! Boy...that sounds like the Governor is sure hearing from god??????

Remember, this is from some of the same people who talk about they want to keep everyone "safe" and do "God's will". In other words these idiots BLEED HYPOCRISY and reveal that their only intent through and by deception, is self exaltation and yielding of "God Like" power to extend rights when they feel rights should be extended. In other words, the actions of these leaders are totally out of an Orwellian NIGHTMARE where citizens have no INALIENABLE RIGHTS which are guaranteed protected, not established, by the Constitution Of The United States, but guaranteed to be protected at all costs by our government. These modern day mini-tyrants and dictators set aside Constitutional rights protected for each individual, to establish a new set of principles based on collectivism and what, in their opinion, without restraint, is best for everyone. Whether realized or not, their views are  DYSTOPIAN to say the least and the epitome of ignorance and selfishness at best.
 
THE RELIGIOUS EXEMPTION AT HEART

Now, as I have read the critics, two things are clear. 1- They have NO CLUE what this vaccine is, where it came from, how it was derived and why that is important to those of us committed to our faith who value LIFE at all stages of life, and 2- They have NO CLUE as to what religious freedom actually means and what the Constitution of The United States actually protects. Even in the article I referenced above, the author suggests that there there is only a "slight" relationship between the vaccine and abortion and that there is a "consensus" among religious faiths that vaccination is acceptable. Neither statement is true however.

Beginning with the latter...

• 1st Amendment Of The United States Constitution:
  Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
  

• 14th Amendment Of The United States Constitution
  Section 1:
  All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
  

Let this be clear...NOBODY NEEDS A CHURCH OR PASTOR TO AGREE WITH A SINCERELY HELD RELIGIOUS BELIEF IN ORDER FOR THAT BELIEF TO BE CONSTITUTIONALLY PROTECTED. IE: RELIGIOUS FREEDOM IS NOT ESTABLISHED BY A CHURCH, A CHURCH LEADER, A PRIEST, A MAJORITY, A CONSENSUS, A PASTORAL MISSIVE, A WRITTEN DOCTRINAL STATEMENT OR ANYTHING ELSE. RELIGIOUS FREEDOM IS NOT RESTRICTED TO THE CHRISTIAN FAITH BUT EXTENDS TO EVERYONE OF EVERY FAITH WITHIN AMERICA AND PEOPLE CAN BE IN THE SAME CHURCH AND HAVE DIVERGENT SINCERELY HELD RELIGIOUS BELIEFS.

Let me be more clear...I, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED
STATES, HAS NO REGARD, CARE, OR CONCERN FOR WHAT THE POPE SAYS AND OR HOW HE PROMOTES THE VACCINE. NEITHER THE POPE NOR THE CATHOLIC CHURCH ARE THE ONES WHO ESTABLISH RELIGIOUS FREEDOM OR THE BASIS FOR RELIGIOUS FREEDOM. NEITHER THE POPE'S STATEMENTS OF ANY CHURCH'S POSITION ON A VACCINE ARE THE BASIS FOR SOUND RELIGIOUS BELIEF AND NEITHER THE GOVERNOR OF NY, THE MAYOR OF NY, OR THE GOVERNOR OF CA, HAS A RIGHT TO CALL SINCERE RELIGIOUS BELIEFS INTO QUESTION.

Be clear, no matter what the Catholic Church may say or do, a Priest is not necessary for a religious exemption in the United States.

In addition, any commentary from anyone claiming "the consensus of churches" is untrue, and has no basis for truth. When people were putting together "consensus" statements none of them asked me and I have been a part of the Christian church and faith for nearly 40 years, and I can name countless individuals who have never been asked to be a part of this "consensus" as well...so who are "they", whoever these consensus takers are, asking???

The CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES protects our rights as AMERICAN citizens to religious belief and personal freedoms. Please note, the government DOES NOT GIVE us rights. Our Government recognizes that these rights already exist. Unlike the communist and socialist nations that many of our governing individuals admire, they, either through by or through health and safety measures or otherwise, have no right to ABRIDGE our FREE EXERCISE of religion or deprive us with life's pursuit of happiness, life, liberty or property, without due process.

What of 1905 Jacobson?...You're wrong preacher!

I am NOT a lawyer...HOWEVER, Jacobson, in which there was ultimately NO FORCED VACCINE upon the defendant, only a $5 fine (1), was NOT based on an mRNA vaccine under an EUA (2), was NOT based on a disease from which there was a 99%+ recovery rate PRIOR to the vaccine (3), was based on a vaccine which actually reduced prevalence and transmission of the disease, decreasing infections by some 99%[which NONE of the current vaccines do] (4), was based on a vaccine which was thoroughly tested PRIOR to distribution(5) and (6) was NOT developed using aborted fetal cells.

I don't know how much any of these points argued individually are persuasive or compelling enough to display that Jacobson is inapplicable, but I am interested to find out how such a dramatically different case, with a dramatically different disease with startlingly different outcomes can be used as a basis for mass mandatory vaccination in the United States, in spite of protected freedoms and personal liberties that are outlined within the AMERICAN CONSTITUTION, which is not some simple legal code that can be dispensed of at convenience or even during a pandemic as many legal authorities have already said. NOPE, not engaged in the practice of law, neither do I give legal advice, so I DIGRESS!

To The Latter

The mRNA vaccines were developed through the use of ABORTED FETAL CELLS taken from the kidneys of at least an aborted child.

I state the following in our article, "Mandatory Vaccines, The Religious Exemption" 

FACT: All three current mRNA vaccines were tested and developed using ABORTED FETAL CELL lines. Even the Phizer (whichever one was allegedly approved or not approved by the FDA) was TESTED AND DEVELOPED using ABORTED fetal cell lines. Although none have aborted fetal cells in them, they were TESTED and DEVELOPED using aborted fetal cells. In other words, someone wanted to abort their child, they did and certain of the baby's cells were used for vaccine research, and in particularly, the research for these 3 mRNA vaccine.  

Got Proof? YEP...See HERE, HERE and HERE

Yes, the vaccines were developed using cells from a human being...A PERSON...killed due to elective abortion, not some inconspicuous emergency procedure. To REJECT such vaccines on this basis alone, not to mention rights of personal autonomy and self direction, are perfectly acceptable not only within the Christian faith, but many other faith's and beliefs which also reject the killing of innocent beings for the purpose and sake of scientific research or otherwise.

This is an article that I wish had not to be written. Believe me, I understand and believe covid is real and do not wish it on my worst enemy! I disdain human suffering. However, it is clear that these vaccines DO NOT stop infection (though many claim the reduction in severity of disease) and does not stop transference or shedding of the virus to others. In fact, many indicators are currently pointing out that the vaccine, in those who have been vaccinated, may actually increase a person's ability to infect others with covid. IF information is not suppressed, as much information currently is being suppressed, we should know much more on this phenomenon in the coming days, but one only need look at the results of a highly vaccinated Israel to conclude, there is much more to the story than what we are being told and or led to believe.

Final Thought

Recently Attorney Allan Dershowitz, who has written a book, "The Case For Vaccine Mandates" stated on Fox News, that "an individual only has liberty to swing their fist as far as my nose". While that sounds true, I would counter with the opinion that if an individual must stop at one's nose, then they aren't free, but restricted.

One would say, "Pastor, I knew you were jacked up, but I just didn't know how much until now." I'll say, OK, but let's just see "how jacked" up I am...

While I would AGREE that hitting your nose, without cause is WRONG and more than likely immoral, LIBERTY makes the option of hitting it a possibility. I may have to pay a strong penalty for hitting it. You may do some damage to my posterior and other regions of my person for doing so, but FREEDOM does not restrict me for taking the action.

WELL...FREEDOM gave ADAM the ability to sin, although he was SINLESS! His ability to choose sin, therefore actualizing sin, displays that he (both Adam & Eve) were FREE! Certainly he and his wife paid the ultimate cost for sin and there was a consequence of death, but his ability to swing (chose sin)  WAS NOT restricted to our ability to feel the pain as a result of his choice! (death from which we all need to be saved figuratively OUR NOSE)

I'll leave it there and take up dissent in the comments...

Blessed!
