Baton Rouge pastor ignores stay-at-home order by holding church services

1. Many here in the comments are calling this pastor arrogant. What you are seeing is the boldness that comes from this: "For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day." 2 Timothy 1:12 It is the boldness spoken of in the Bible. '“The people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.” Daniel 11:32

2. Has anyone here ever been healed through prayer? I have.
   Has anyone here ever had his breaking heart lifted in church by the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ? I have.
   Has anyone here ever had unexpected money to pay the bills, when it sure wasn't in the budget? I have.
   Has anyone here ever felt a surge of love for an enemy, after praying for that enemy? I have.
   Jesus was scourged for our healing. Jesus promised that if we seek God's kingdom FIRST, then He would supply our needs. The Bible says that when we lend to the poor, we are lending to the Lord, and HE will repay. Give, and it shall be given to you. These Bible promises are real, and bear results.
   THAT is WHY we go to church. Jesus Christ is faithful.

3. Good for him. We need social disobedience. This government no longer represents the people.

4. Awesome! That’s a real Shepard! All these other people commenting are Manifesting their own future enslavement. Sheepil are always lead to the slaughter. You don’t burn a barn down to get rid of the rats ppl.

5. If you are a really good man use streaming and Do Not Ask 💰 … Because you care about people 😂

6. It's all about making money!.

7. He will be guilty of manslaughter if they trace a church members death. I hope

8. What an idiot! The virus doesn't give a damn about rights! Sometimes people act like the US constitution was handed down to men from God like the 10 Commandments were. They only quote the Declaration of Independence/Constitution and the Bible when it suits their purposes and ignore them when they don't.

9. Stupid little laws don’t outweigh the first amendment.

10. People are making light of this but TV will have you laughing your rights away. Make no mistake God is not mocked.

11. 0:54 "We hold these truths to be self-evident…" Sorry "pastor" but that's not the Bible. That's the Declaration of Independence.

    1:52 "Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom" is not followed in the Bible by "we have nothing to fear but fear itself." Last time I checked Franklin Delano Roosevelt was not in the Bible. Moron!

12. Romans 13:1-2 says: "Obey the government, for God is the One who has put it there. … So those who refuse to obey the law of the land are refusing to obey God, and punishment will follow

13. The federal government cannot tell churches to close thus violating their First Amendment right to practice their sincerely held religious beliefs. We don't suspend the Constitution for a virus or anything else.

14. Clinics are closed too. My clinic just opened last week. I saw my PCP on the phone twice. But he still advised me not to come to the clinic after another two weeks. Why is that? Because they are coranavirus patients there he said.

15. This pastor needs to serve prison time. 😡😠

16. Hebrews 13:17 says obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to give account. Let them do this with joy and not with groaning for that would be advantage to you. And here is the pastor's favorite scripture Acts 5:29 But Peter and the apostles answered "we must obey God and not men. But then in Titus 3:1 it says Remind them to be submissive to their rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work. Romans 13:1-14 says let every person be subject to governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists aurhorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrong doer. Therefore, one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God's wrath, but the sake of conscience… Then In James 1:5 says if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. One more pastor, Proverbs 2:6 says For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. There is a lot I can preach to you pastor. You are obviously lacking in all these areas. And you are going to suffer the consequences. By the way malls, beauty salons, barbers, and all non-essential businesses are closed. The only places that are. open is the grocery stores. What are you talking about. Oh yeah, the hospitals that are so tired of stupid people like you. The water works, electricity, phone companies etc. You should get like 40 years in prison. And I live in New York. If I can have some patience you as a pastor should have patience too. Talking about the fruit of the spirit pastor. You make me sick. And yes I said it. You make me sick it brings tears to my eyes when I see people dying every day. And you are endangering more people with your stupidity. Your leaders are carrying the burden knowing that all these people are dying. And all you have to do, is your service from home. You and the other pastors that are disobedient right now to the rules put in place for us to stay safe. And see no more deaths eventually. You and others are slowing up the process of this nation getting to normal. Including the president himself. 🙄😡🤨

17. “The Constitution does not import an absolute right in each person to be, at all times and in all circumstances, wholly freed from restraint.” Instead, “a community has the right to protect itself against an epidemic.” Its members “may at times, under the pressure of great dangers, be subjected to such restraint, to be enforced by reasonable regulations, as the safety of the general public may demand.”
    -Supreme Court Justice John Marshall Harlan
    Jacobson v Massachusetts 7-2 majority opinion, February 1905

18. Greed is a sin pastor you should think about what your doing the lawsuits comming your way you may end up being roomates with the major of new orleans. Sinners!!! Better wear lots of sun screen while you burn in hell.

19. The answer had to come from the root of the root: Judaism.
    "You are NOT allowed to rely on a miracle".

20. People are not in prisoned in their home. The governors are trying to keep us healthy and prevent us from getting sick. What idiots

21. Absolutely outrageous! He is jeopardizing many peoples lives. You are required by God to follow government laws! You are way too slick and self serving. I pray for your speedy arrest!!!

22. Im sorry. This man is prideful and misled. It's people like this that make Christians look bad. Don't nobody care about no constitutional rights right now. This is not about persecution. We tryna keep people from dying and losing their life. God desires obedience over sacrifice. He is being blatantly disobedient to the word of God who commands us to obey authority as long as its nothing that leads to sin. He can quote the other scripture verses about assembling but not about obedience. This is only temporary. God is everywhere. Online or in person God hears our worship. It IS the same spiritually although not physically. I pray for anyone who sits underneath the teachings of this man. Something is definitely not right with him.

23. UNBELIEVERS..CANNOT UNDERSTAND !!

24. Pastor Spell is a lying Elaper and a Turd tapper. Silent Sam, religious liberties do not over ride the states responsibility to protect it citizens during a public health crisis. Free exercise of religion does not allow dangerous acts, even if they are part of a demonstration of faith. A pastor should not be able to disregard public health limits on congregation size to fight a pandemic threat any more than he can disregard a fire safety threat.

25. So God’s spirit is limited when people worship by Zoom. Okay. Good to know.

26. This is a great man of God and I stand with him they are trying to stop the church !!!!!!! The church does not follow the state law’s church and state is separate so he will not be guilty where is the Christians in all this we need to stand for what we believe in and God is not dead he is alive and the church is being
    Prosecuted in us Christians need to stand up for the church

27. Many , if not most, believe tony spell is being immoral , doing what he is doing. Many of those same people also believe providing goods and services to those doing evil , is tantamount to going against their religion.
