Some people say that face masks and respirators provide adequate protection against being contaminated by COVID-19, while others say that they don’t work. So what is the truth regarding this matter?

There is actually truth in both statements. N95 and FFP3 respirators do work. However, there are several things that the user has to do in order to ensure that they work as intended, and provide the protection that one needs; namely these:

1. Make sure that you have the right size mask for the size and contour of your face. A medium-size mask will fit most people.

2. Make sure that you are wearing the mask properly so that it fits snugly against your face.

Some respirators — such as the ones I have — have a small metal strip across the nose bridge so that you can mold that part of the mask close to your nose so that there are no gaps between the mask and your skin.

3. If you have a beard or a mustache, you will probably have to shave it off; as otherwise, the mask will not seal properly on your face.

4. While wearing the respirator, do NOT touch any part of your face with your hands, particularly your nose and your mouth.

5. Most respirators should only be worn for a few hours and then discarded; not only because they become moist from your breathing, but also because if you are working in a contaminated area, the mask will eventually become saturated with contagions.

6. When it comes time to remove and/or discard the mask, be very careful how you do it.

Try to just touch only the straps as you remove it, as otherwise, you could unknowingly end up getting the virus on your fingers. Then, when you inadvertently touch your face, such as your mouth or your nose, you will end up infecting yourself.

7. If you are living in, working in or temporarily visiting an area where there may be infected people or contaminated surfaces, in addition to making sure that you are wearing your face mask properly following all of the previous steps, wash your hands frequently with soap and warm water, or else use wipes that contain at least a 70% alcohol solution, or use rubbing alcohol with a non-alcohol-based wipe of your choice.

If you fail to carefully follow the previous recommendations, then no matter how expensive or high quality your mask is, you will still become infected.

For the record, despite how careful they are, it has already been reported that some health care workers have in fact been infected by the coronavirus. That is just how virulent and aggressive COVID-19 is when it comes to transmission.

So be careful, be conscious of what you are doing at all times, and follow the above guidelines, as well as the guidelines which are issued by your local healthcare officials and government authorities. And, of course, pray for God’s protection.

I hope that the above tips help. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

https://www.billkochman.com/Blog/index.php/coronavirus-40-bible-verse-lists-regarding-gods-love-patience-wrath-judgments-and-repentance/

As the world endures the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, many people — including many Christians — are looking to YouTube videos, unsubstantiated conspiracy theories and other question sources, in order to understand and explain what is going on, as well as why it is occurring. In my view, many of these things are red herrings and sideshows which distract us from the one true source which actually explains to us what is going on in the world right now. Of course, I am referring to the Bible. But because they look to these other secular sources to understand and explain things, some people are not only missing the Big Picture, they are also emphasizing the wrong things when they discuss this issue with their friends.

The fact of the matter is that as Bible-believing Christians who know the Lord, we have a duty, an obligation and a responsibility to look to God’s Word for the answers, and not to the wisdom of the world, which can quite often be rather deceiving. While many people today — again, including many Christians — like to emphasize a God of love and a lovey-dovey Jesus, as I explain in articles such as “Do You Want Love and Light, or Rod and Wrath?“, the Holy Scriptures inform us that our Heavenly Father is both a God of Love, as well as a God of Wrath. Likewise, Jesus can bleat like a Lamb, or else He can roar like a Lion. Exactly which side we each see of their character depends a lot on us.

One mistake which I have repeatedly seen some Christians make, is to use verses such as John 10:10 to justify and convey the one-sided image of God the Father and Jesus which I just mentioned to you. In that verse, Jesus states the following:

“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have ‭it‭ more abundantly.”
John 10:10, KJV

Personally, I wholeheartedly agree with the above verse. In fact, I am quite familiar with it, as well as with a number of other related verses, which you will find in the “God’s Desire for Healing and Repentance” KJV Bible Verse List which is listed below. But as I said, we need to look at the entire equation. In other words, we can’t just look at those verses which create an image of God the Father and Jesus Christ which we like, which is pleasing to us, and which we can easily accept. We need to examine ALL of the related verses.

As I have said so many times before, we need to compare and balance Scripture with Scripture, in order to better understand whatever subject we happen to be researching in the Bible. If we fail to do this, then we may end up with a lopsided understanding of the issue. Worse yet, we may erroneously convey that lopsided understanding to others as well.

This very same rule applies to understanding the full nature of God the Father, and His Son, Jesus Christ. When we do compare Scripture with Scripture, we get a very different picture. We get a more balanced picture. For example, while in Matthew 18:11 Jesus said “For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost”, and in Luke 9:56 He also said “For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them”, at the same time, the Lord also clearly said such things as the following in the Gospels:

“And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”
Matthew 10:28, KJV

“And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: ‭‭Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.”
Mark 9:45-46, KJV

“I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.”
Luke 13:2, KJV

“Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: SIN NO MORE, LEST A WORSE THING COME UNTO THEE.”
John 5:14, KJV

And let us not forget that this is the same Jesus who overturned the tables of the moneychangers in the temple compound, and who repeatedly referred to the unbelieving Jews as liars, hypocrites, oppressors of the poor, murderers, and the children of the Devil. So, do you see my point?

To continue, as I mentioned earlier, if we truly want to understand what the COVID-19 pandemic is all about, and why it has wrecked the global economy, and pretty much brought the entire world to a standstill, then we must look to God’s Word, and not to the fallible words or wisdom of mere men. With that in mind, below you will find a list of 40 of the current 625 topical KJV Bible Verse Lists which I have compiled to date. If you invest some serious time in really studying each one of them, it is my hope that you will arrive at a much better, clearer understanding regarding why the coronavirus has struck the world at this current time. May God bless you and enlighten you as you delve deeply into His wonderful Word.
