 Re: Public Health Emergency Declared In Connecticut Over Ebola: Civil Rights Suspende

Quarantines scare the wits out of moderns. Right away they are thinking the authorities will use it to trample people's liberties by forcing them to limit their travel be it to the job, shopping or wherever.

One poster noted this was the method used under OT law to prevent the spread of contagious diseases. And it did not stop there - it has been used in modern times with success. I well remember the old people talk about it when there was an epidemic, like scarlet fever.

Personally, I think if Believers would take to heart the principle as laid out according to OT law in how to deal with contagious diseases there would be fewer: if you or anyone in your family is sick, has the sniffles, cough, STAY HOME!! We have had a - and still do- people in our church with fragile immune systems and we are told to not go to church when you do not feel well because these individuals would get it and end up hospitalized. The kindest things you can do when you do not feel well is to isolate yourself from others - stay home.

Is it not rude for Believers to be forced by the gov to isolate themselves when we already know this is God's will for his people? Oh! sure, it will not damm you to hell if you violate it, but it sure can give offense to others and is this what you want to do?
