VACCINATIONS
Northwoods Apostolic Church believes in the absolute sovereignty of God in all things, and His delegation of authority to human beings over the control of their own minds and bodies (Colossians 1:16-17; I Corinthians 6:19-20). We believe we possess both the God-given ability to reason and the gift of free will to make our own choices regarding our lives, inclusive of our health and well-being. Individuals should be the ones to make their own decisions pertaining to any and all medical services and medications, including all decisions regarding vaccines no matter what conditions – including pandemics – may be present.
The Word of God informs us that as believers our physical bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (I Corinthians 6:19-20). We are therefore not to take anything into our bodies that could damage them. This would include untested and un-proven COVID-19 injections that have demonstrated unprecedented adverse reactions and deaths. The choice to use or accept any form of external intervention to address any mental or physical health problem remains a sacred personal right, notwithstanding the opinion of other people, including medical professionals and government officials.
As Christians, we believe in the sanctity of human life and that life begins at conception. The Bible clearly commands us not to shed innocent human life or human blood (Exodus 20:13). Unborn babies are human beings whose lives shall not be taken (Jeremiah 1:5). Therefore, aborted fetal cell tissue use during any phase in the manufacture, production and administration of COVID-19 injections is immoral and unjustifiable. The use of “vaccines” that may contain fetal tissue or that creates a high risk of miscarriages in pregnant women violates the mandates of scripture.
Furthermore, any medical product designed to alter one’s genetic code or to create a “biometric” or comparable mark by which one can be tracked is also absolutely forbidden as a surrender and an aid to the coming anti-Christ system (Rev. 9 & 13). If such mark is not technically the “Mark of the Beast” warned against in Scripture, it is so close in form and substance as to be at least preliminary preparation for it, if not a binding spiritual substitute (Rev. 19:20; I Cor 8:4-7).
In addition to our deeply held religious beliefs, mandated vaccines and vaccine passports are in violation of my civil rights as protected under the Declaration and Constitution of the United States of America and existing and long-standing federal law.
In summary, we recognize only God as our ultimate authority in all things, and that He has delegated to each of us authority over our own lives and choices in matters of health, including that of vaccines, and we hold that the serious, potentially eternal consequences attached to our choices, strongly outweighs any dictate of government to the contrary.
