A New Zealand senior pastor says Christians who tithe, believe the Bible and are filled with the Holy Spirit are protected from coronavirus.

Destiny Church leader Brian Tamaki was speaking this week in Auckland when he said that Bible-believing Christians who tithe have a Psalm 91 “protection policy” against coronavirus.



"You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday,” he said, reading from Psalm 91. "We needn't fear it. There is a lot of hysteria that has been engendered by certain elements about this pandemic," he said.

Tamaki said that “satanic spirits” control how viruses travel in the air, but Christians are safe from the virus.

“The prince of the power of the air, Satan, has control of atmospheres, unless you’re a blood-bought born-again, Jesus-loving, Bible-believing, Holy Ghost-filled, tithe-paying believer. You are the only one that can walk through atmospheres and has a, literally a protection — the Psalm 91 protection policy around you,” Tamaki said. “I don’t care if you don’t believe it. It’s all right.”

Tamaki’s advice, however, is drawing some criticism from other church leaders. Rev. Helen Jacobi, vicar at central Auckland’s St. Matthew-in-the-City, said Tamaki’s comments are “incredibly unsafe.”

"People should be following public health advice. I think it is very dangerous and wrong for any public leader to contravene that. Certainly in the Anglican Church we have been sharing the message to follow public health advice, and we follow it in our own gatherings. It is also quite offensive, saying his followers are safe and no-one else, which is the absolute opposite of the Christian belief,” she said.

She added: "It is very amusing he has chosen that psalm, given it was used by 'the devil' to test Jesus.”

CNN reported early this week that more than 90,000 people across more than 70 countries and territories have been infected by coronavirus.

Health officials have said that persons infected with the virus usually develop symptoms similar to the flu. Currently, the flu is impacting more Americans than coronavirus.

Protection policy

[b]Each time I heard Christians pray against their enemies I scuff. Only if they know they are their worse enemies and the evil one.

The devil is the real enemy but anyone who makes himself for the devil can also be an enemy, dont misquote the bible, what Jesus pray for your enemy, sometimes enemies need to be taught a lesson that would lead them to repentance, that is the kind of pray that enemies need, paul prayed it.

Nigeria Christian doesn't care if thousand and tens of thousands are dieing of corona virus around the world so long as they and their loves ones are alive.

Nigeria Christian doesn't care if price of good increases or if dollar to naira depreciate so far as they can afford it.

what do you want them to do? Christianity is not about being a philanthropist although that is good, christianity is centred around the birth, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and the salvation he brings. Christianity offers eternal solution not temporary one.

If you ask why? You hear their place is not on this earth Their final destination is in heaven. The good book mention love thy neighbour as thy self but Christians aren't practising this.

yes of cause the place of a christian is not of this earth but that does not stop him for loving you. The greatest love a christian can show you is preached the gospel that would save your soul from eternal condemnation and that they are doing by preaching to you.
The good book said that the greatest love a man can offer is to lay down his life, and that Jesus did for you but did you accept it?

Christians don't underestimate the power God gave you. Use it to make this world a better place for US ALL, not someone you like, not someone like you, but US ALL[/b]

the world can never be made a better place as long as humans are oppose to God, yes indeed God has a plan for humanity but will they submit to his plan? The power a christian has to preach Jesus to a world that is lost and separated from God, that power does not force you because true love does not force it self but rather he pleads with you to repent and turn to Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sin and the salvation of you soul and this my friend is the love that pass all love.

Matthew 16:26
For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

In other words.... The financial assets of the church will protected, while those not paying are on their own.
Corona doesn't discriminate. Christains are not immune.

read again, I didnt say Christianity does not encourage providing for the poor but that is not the central message.
It is only after the salvation that good works begins to count. Jesus said that by selling his property the rich man would have a treasure in heaven that is only after he folliws him.

Who are you trying to deceive ?

You explicitly said that Christianity is not about philanthropy and that it is not concerned with the temporal.

You guys are the biggest jokers on this planet. While your self appointment men of gog enjoy temporal luxuries on this earth , they implore their members to wait for theirs in a permanent heaven , lol.

Oh please, just stop.

CAPSLOCKED:
THE THIEVES ARE EVERYWHERE.

People like Kenneth Copeland, Benny Hinn and Jim Bakker, they're in their own class when it comes to deceiving the gullibles.

This is how bad it has become.

did you read where I said giving to the poor is good? Yes giving to the poor is encouraged in the bible but it is never a solution to mankind's problem, the is the implication of my post up there.

correct.
