Debunking the "leaders"
Part 1
Where to begin….. I suppose most would start at the beginning, but in this case, let’s start with the most modern understanding, and work backwards.
The accepted canon in the wide range of Christian denominations, are the collection of books in the King James Version. This includes 39 books in the Old Testament, including the Torah, which is the first 5 books, and 27 books in the New Testament, which also include the 4 Gospels. This completes the total 66 books accepted as canon in the KJV.
One of the mainstream teachings that even I remember being taught repeatedly throughout Sunday School was that the OT was the “old covenant” and is only for Jews now; and that the NT is the “new covenant” that is for us now. For the purposes of today, we aren’t going to dive into the debate between there being one covenant, or two. What I will say is that regardless of that debate, scripture as a whole is important. The OT is the history, and the context in which the NT is understood. So both are important.
So let’s look at some of the more obvious reasons one may choose to use a Religious Exemption.
Note: I’ll be going through the more obvious, and more common reasons, there are obviously far more we will cover later as we get deeper into the theology.
Faith & Fear:
Faith is the foundation of belief. For believers, your faith should be limitless. Faith is the solution to fear, and fear in turn, can be the killer of faith.
Vaccination is a fear based product. It is sold on fear and false promises. We don’t get Chicken Pox, and run out for a Chicken Pox shot. Take this shot, and live! OR- If you don’t take this shot- surely you will DIE!
Under all of this, there is this ongoing push, to abandon your instincts, distrust yourself, put your trust in these authorities instead. They’re here to protect you.
So, what does scripture say? - Well that is very simple. First of all, the phrase “fear not” appears 365 times in the canon. Yup! That’s right- 365. Almost as if there is a daily reminder to fear not.
The question here, becomes where to place your faith? In the hands of man? Or in the hands of God?
Hosea 5:13- When Ephraim saw his sickness, And Judah his wound, Then Ephraim went to Assyria And sent to King Jareb. But he is unable to heal you, Or to cure you of your wound
Jeremiah 17:5- Thus says the Lord, “Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind, and makes flesh his strength, and whose heart turns away from the Lord”
Psalm 108:12- Give us help from trouble, for vain is the help of man
Psalm 118:9- It is better to take refuge in the Lord, than to trust in princes.
Isaiah 2:22- Stop regarding man, whose breath of life is in his nostrils; For why should he be esteemed?
Proverbs 3:5-6- Trust in the LORD with all of your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all of your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your path.
Body is a temple:
Scripture tells us that God made us- in HIS image.
Genesis 1:27: So God created man in His own image, in the image of God he created him
He created us in HIS image implies that there was specificity and purpose not just to create us but in the way in which He created us. Every cell, every strand of DNA, carefully and lovingly put together by God.
So, the first question this leads to- does God make mistakes?
God has had a purpose in everything, and outcomes are no surprise to Him, for He declares the end from the beginning: “I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure” (Isaiah 46:9-10).
I think it is human nature, that we often fail to acknowledge that which we can’t understand, or simply cannot know. The very nature of God falls into this category, and it is for this reason that more people dedicate their lives to scientific fields attempting to disprove God. But the reality is that OUR reality is here, on this Earth, in this plane, with a linear sense of time.
To spite our best minds and our most advanced efforts, we can neither reach into the core of the Earth, nor beyond the immediate space around it. (At best, maybe the moon?…. whoopie!!!!!)
None of this applies to God. God exists outside of this space, plane, and linear time. As you grow, and age, moving forward through your life, He watches from beyond your birth, life, and death simultaneously.
So if we can barely wrap our minds around the literal existence of God and His relative relationship to our world, how arrogant of us then, to accuse Him of mistakes that we- in all our grand feebleness- must fix.
In Proverbs 3:5-6- King Solomon makes it a point to point out that we should not lean into our own understanding- but to trust wholly in God. Because as a human, we are confined to our human constraints. We are confined in our understanding, by our place in this linear system. While God is outside of it. We see a fraction of a moment in all of time, while He sees every moment throughout all time.
Proverbs 3:5-6: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”
Ephesians 2:10: “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.”
Jeremiah 29:11: “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.”
Ingredients of vaccines: There is a range of materials used to manufacture vaccines, and the truth is that for most vaccines, there are multiple ingredients that create a conflict of faith. But the one that most people think of, or ask about is of course:
Aborted Fetal Cells
The use of fetal cell lines in vaccines, today, is a quasi-taboo subject. The population tends to fall into one of only a few categories. They either refuse to believe that aborted fetal tissue is used, they justify it by saying “It was only two abortions and at least it was used to do something good for humanity, or they justify it by saying it was only for research and fetal tissue is used in a lot of products now.
But vaccine science, and abortion go hand in hand. Their histories are so intertwined that they cannot be separated.
In the 1960s, Dr. Leonard Hayflick at the Wistar Institute located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania began working with aborted babies in an attempt to obtain human cell strains that would provide a culture medium for the growth of viruses. These viruses, grown in the human cell culture (also called human diploid cell cultures).
The need for fresh fetal tissue dictated that the abortion be pre-arranged between abortionist and researcher. Investigations into the modern fetal tissue market also show that abortion clinics are paid for this tissue. So, could the mother be influenced into abortion? Of course.
In fact, polls have shown that some mothers who are considering abortion would be more likely to follow through with it if they knew they could donate their baby for research.
In 1964, the Wistar Institute worked with American abortionists to collect and dissect aborted babies, in order to obtain the rubella virus for vaccine development. This involved almost 70 abortions. The 27th baby in the rubella project provided the live virus that was used in the vaccine. Thus the rubella virus was named RA 27/3 (Rubella, Abortus, 27th fetus, 3rd tissue explant). The virus was then grown in WI-38 cells for vaccine production.
Dr. Stanley Plotkin, who worked on the rubella vaccine at Wistar Institute, said “This fetus was chosen by Dr. Sven Gard, specifically for this purpose. Both parents are known... the abortion was done because they felt they had too many children. There were no familial diseases in the history of either parent, and no history of cancer specifically in the families.” This cell line was named WI-38. “WI” for Wistar Institute and “38” for the 38th fetal sample used in this research. So, also, it is not and was NEVER just 2 abortions.
In 1966, Brittian’s Medical Research Council developed another cell line, from the lungs of an aborted baby boy. This abortion was performed on a 27-year-old, healthy young woman, for “psychiatric” purposes. This cell line was named MRC-5 and is used extensively in vaccine research and production.
The marriage between fetal cell lines and vaccination has created an unholy dependence upon the abortion industry. On one hand, because of the success of fetal tissue, the search for more cell lines for more vaccines began. On the other, WI-38, and MRC-5 will fail. Each cell line has a finite number of population doublings, when that number is reached, the cell line will die and need to be replaced.
Today, there are countless cell lines.
They include, but are not limited to:
WI-38 is a diploid human cell culture line composed of fibroblasts derived from lung tissue of an aborted white (Caucasian) female.
MRC-5 cell line was derived from the human lung tissue of a 14-week-old male fetus from a 27-year-old woman.
HEK-293 is a cell line derived from human embryonic kidney cells of a healthy aborted fetus. RA-27/3 is derived from an aborted fetus.
WI-26 VA4 is an SV40 transformed derivative of WI-26, a human diploid cell line derived from embryonic lung tissue of a male Caucasian.
WalVax-2 is taken from the lung tissue of a 3-month gestation female who was ultimately selected from 9 aborted babies. Perhaps one of the more harrowing of cell lines, this baby was delivered via induction using a “waterbag abortion”. Which is used to shorten the time of delivery and keep the baby alive so that the tissue remains alive and fresh.
IMR-90 is the human diploid fibroblast from the lungs of a 16-week female fetus.
PER.C6 cell line is from retinal tissue of an 18-week-old fetus.
So, let’s get into the religious ramifications of this. The first claim we hear most often, “at least it’s making something good out of something bad”.
I often think this is a misunderstanding between God taking the evil done against us, and working it for our good, and our knowing something is evil, yet calling it good. This is directly tied to one’s faith.
Do you have the faith in a bad situation, to rely on God and trust him to handle the situation? If someone burns your house down, this was something bad done to you. God can use these situations to bless you. Your house was burned down, you are blessed later with a stronger or safer home. This is God using something meant to be done against you, to instead bless you.
Isaiah 5:20 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
Proverbs 17:15 He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous are both alike an abomination to the Lord
3 John 1:11 Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. The one who does good is of God; the one who does evil has not seen God.
Job 28:28 “And to man He said, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom;
And to depart from evil is understanding.’”
Romans 12:9 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good.
1 John 2:15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
The intimate relationship between vaccines and abortions, have monetized and incentivized abortion. It has created an industry that is dependent on women choosing to terminate the life of their unborn infant. One might say, it is an alter that demands the sacrifice of children.
The most popular trope that is often pushed not only by the Catholic Church, but leaders of other religions also: It’s for the greater good.
But Scripture teaches the exact opposite of this. Scripture teaches that all life, each individual life, is important. The life of the unborn infant, to the life of the murderer. We are commanded to love all, to pray for all. To pray for our enemies and love our neighbor as ourselves. I know this is something our modern society struggles with at all levels. But the simple fact is that the use of fetal cell lines cannot be justified religiously, even if the vaccines DID do what they are purported to do. (They don’t)
Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patients, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.
Deut. 12:31 You shall not behave thus toward the Lord your God, for every abominable act which the Lord hates they have done for their gods; for they even burn their sons and daughters in the fire to their gods.
Psalm 106:35-38 But they mingled with the nations And learned their practices, And served their idols, Which became a snare to them. They even sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the demons,
Jeremiah 19:4-5 Because they have forsaken Me and have made this an alien place and have burned sacrifices in it to other gods, that neither they nor their forefathers nor the kings of Judah had ever known, and because they have filled this place with the blood of the innocent and have built the high places of Baal to burn their sons in the fire as burnt offerings to Baal, a thing which I never commanded or spoke of, nor did it ever enter My mind;
While there are additional Scripturally based arguments against vaccination, these are the primary reasons. We will get deeper into the additional issues as we move forward, but I hope that this has been a solid foundational start for many of you.
I have included a chart below, to give you an example of just how many of our vaccines are produced using human cell lines. Not included in this list, obviously, is covid-19 vaccine. But multiple cv-19 vax options did use fetal cell lines.
