Mandatory vaccination in spiritual perspective

 One very important thing one should note in dealing with this issue is that, humanity since the advent of Jesus Christ has a dual nature, man is both a physical and spiritual being, the members of man’s body is the instrument he/she uses to either live in accordance to the flesh or to live in accordance to the spirit and so we have been duly admonished saying; “And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God” (Romans 6:13).

Therefore, in dealing with anything that pertains to the human body, we are to consider not only the physical aspect but the spiritual aspect as well. So while one considers the physical aspect of mandating the vaccines as the greater good for man physically, one should also take into consideration the spiritual aspects and consequences for doing such and take into cognizance the fact that the flesh and the spirit are contrary to each other.

As we have been duly admonished saying; “I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish” (Galatians 5:16-17).

We have further been instructed saying; “For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. These things we also speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned” (1Corinthians 2:11-14).

So then, since the natural carnal mind sees mandatory vaccination as the greater good for humanity, how does the spiritual mind views it? Remember, the natural and the spiritual are contrary to each other, so here is how the spiritually minded individual views the mandatory vaccination on humanity, especially on believers.

I am flabbergasted and in complete amazement when I listen to so called spiritual leaders who claims not to have any scriptural or biblical reasons to support those who may refuse to partake of it, but instead are supporting the idea of being vaccinated as the greater good for humanity, what a shame!
