Wait. I was told it was wrong to question other people’s religion. Is that not a thing anymore?
The Week: Obery M. Hendricks Jr., a religion professor at Columbia University, said last week that Christians who refuse to wear masks are possessed by “the spirit of antichrist.”
“These folk are not fulfilling their gospel responsibility. They’re violating it. They’re spitting in the face of it,” Hendricks said. “It’s anti-biblical. It’s anti-Christian. And I’ll go farther … what we see reflected in their attitudes and their actions and their pronouncements is what 1 John calls the spirit of antichrist.”…
Hendricks made these comments on the Rev. Dr. Howard-John Wesley’s YouTube show Can I Push It? Wesley pastors the 8,000-member Alfred Street Baptist Church in Alexandria, Virginia.
“[W]hen we look again at these conservatives, these right-wingers that talk about ‘You’re infringing on my freedom by having me wear a mask’ … they don’t understand that they are violating the biblical principle of responsibility for our brothers and sisters,” Hendricks told Wesley.
