Romans 1.16–18: a Remonstrant’s Rendering

J. D. Gallé | Friday, 23 June 2023

v. 16    For I am not disgraced by the good news of Christ, for it is God’s power resulting in salvation for everyone believing – both to Jew first, as well as to Greek.

v. 17    For in it God’s justice is being unveiled by faith, resulting in faith, just as it is has been written: ‘Now the just one, by faith, shall live’.

v. 18    For God’s indignation is being unveiled from heaven against every kind of irreverence and injustice of human beings, the ones restraining the truth in injustice. 

(Romans 1.16–18, A Remonstrant’s Rendering)

Bodily Autonomy and Illegitimate Governmental Authority

J. D. Gallé | Monday, 5 June 2023

        No person, corporation, organisation, government, or legislative body has the right to mandate vaccinations or implantations in the human body; nor do they possess the right to forcibly inject vaccines, or place or implant devices (or technology of any kind), overtly or covertly, in or upon the bodies of non-consenting human beings.

        The follower of Jesus Christ, who alone is King of kings and Lord of lords, must ever oppose the evil and tyranny of illegitimate authority by, firstly, exposing it, and secondly, refusing compliance to ordinances which violate bodily integrity and the conscience of the individual human being, who has been created in the image and likeness of God, the Creator of heaven and earth, things visible and invisible.
