Actually it is. If people who refuse vaccination infect others, that would be immoral. One solution would be deporting anti-vaxxers.

Vaccines are not foolproof, especially in the roll out stage. People have different responses. Effective HIV meds took ~ 15 years to be developed. Covid vaccine about 1 year. No HIV vaccine exists as yet, decades after HIV became a problem in the States. My wife and I were both Covid vaxed. She got a mild case, rested a couple of days and was fine. Even though we lived together, I didn't get Covid. Not sure how she got it. Some people, even though exposed to Hepatitis B fight it off and remain essentially immune to it. Others get it, have their liver destroyed and require a transplant. As I said before, anti vaxxers, if they keep to themselves, in effective isolation, are not a problem. If they want to be part of society, get vaccinated, for the sake of others. This is not a moral issue. It's really not even a matter of conscience. A person who owned an animal that was known to be dangerous would be put to death if the animal killed someone. How much moreso anti-vaxxers who infect others.

It's a mistake to use the issues described in Romans 14 to excuse anti-vaxxers. If I refuse to eat food offered to idols because of my conscience, no one is impacted but me alone. If an anti-vaxxer falls ill, others are endangered by that illness. That's a huge difference. This is typical "religious" nonsense. My religion exalts me personally beyond my fellows. If you get Covid because of my conscience, that's your problem. My conscience is clear. Not sure what religion that is beyond "me myself and I."Reminds me of the "What is yours is mine, what is mine is mine" philosophy of life. Contributes to the hatred certain governments manifest towards Christianity.

I posted many things about Dolly Parton in the obituaries section. It got me thinking. We are different than most people. To me the purpose of this life, is to serve God and go to heaven. By serving Him, I mean following His instruction book, living a life of love with the focus on God and His principles. Children have been important to me, even though I started later in life. Their salvation, and my teaching to them have been important. Evangelism has been a big part of my life. But most people don't feel the way I do.

The Trinity is: God the Father = All powerful, almighty, all glorious, final authority, universal. Old Testament term "El" God the Son = Personal, approachable. Old Testament term "YHWH" The Angel of the Lord who turns out to be the Lord, the Captain of the Lord's Host, Michael and other manifestations. God the Holy Spirit = God working with our subjective/existential experience Old Testament term "The Spirit of the Lord" and pictures of the Lord's leading. All three are seen as one God, We use the term "Trinity" The idea is in the Old Testament term "Elohim" a singular plural.

We’ve all seen the dramatic Sunday school depictions: Jesus, eyes wild, braiding a whip in a sudden fit of rage, sending coins flying and doves scattering across the temple courts.
