Pure From the Blood of All Men

From Blogsite: “Sum of Thy Word”

Anyone teaching the Word of God in any capacity including their own children, please read this entire post as the coming vaccine mandates will begin fulfilling parts of the book of Revelation very soon.

Paul declared that the way to be “pure from the blood of all men” is to teach the whole counsel of God:

Acts 20:26-30  Wherefore I testify unto you this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.  (27)  For I shrank not from declaring unto you the whole counsel of God.  (28)  Take heed unto yourselves, and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit hath made you bishops, to feed the church of the Lord which he purchased with his own blood.

As a teacher of God’s Word, Paul knew he was just as accountable as Ezekiel to warn the children of God who fall into any wilful sin to repent or their blood would be on his hands and he would answer with the loss of his soul:

Ezekiel 3:17-21  Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.  (18)  When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thy hand.  (19)  Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.  (20)  Again, when a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thy hand.  (21)  Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he took warning; and thou hast delivered thy soul.

We too as Christians are to be watchmen over each other! Admonishing those who fall into any error from the truth so as to keep ourselves from the spiritual death of our soul:

Mark 13:37  And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

James 5:19-20  My brethren, if any among you err from the truth, and one convert him;  (20)  let him know, that he who converteth a sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall cover a multitude of sins.

1 Corinthians 11:1  Be ye(Christians) imitators of me(Paul), even as I also am of Christ.

Acts 20:31  Wherefore watch ye, remembering that by the space of three years I ceased not to admonish every one night and day with tears.

Matthew 10:28 And be not afraid of them that kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Luke 12:4-5 And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. (5) But I will warn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, who after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I(Jesus) say unto you, Fear him(Father).

Paul named several sins that, if practiced by Christians, would cause them to be destroyed in hell rather than inherit the kingdom of God:

Galatians 5:16-21  But I say, Walk by the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.  (17)  For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are contrary the one to the other; that ye may not do the things that ye would.  (18)  But if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under the law.  (19)  Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these: fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,  (20)  idolatry, witchcraft, enmities, strife, jealousies, wraths, factions, divisions, parties,  (21)  envyings, drunkenness, revellings, and such like; of which I forewarn you, even as I did forewarn you, that they who practice such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Witchcraft is probably the last sin Christians would think they are practicing but let’s examine the underlying Greek word to see what our Father declares as “witchcraft”:  

https://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?Strongs=G5331&t=KJV

The English word “witchcraft” was translated from the Greek word “pharmakeia”, which is defined as “medication”, and from where we also get the English words “pharmacy” and “pharmaceutical”. 

Please watch this 15 minute video on how the medieval practice of “witchcraft” developed into the pharmaceutical industry today:

https://lbry.tv/@ODDTV:b/pharmakeia-drugs-black-magic-the-end:0

The Greek word “pharmakeia” is also translated into the English word “sorceries” in the book of Revelation:

Revelation 9:20-21  And the rest of mankind, who were not killed with these plagues, repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and the idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of stone, and of wood; which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk:  (21)  and they repented not of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

The pharmaceutical companies use the work of man’s hands to create a multitude of medicines and vaccines from chemical compounds and human fetal cells:

The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act gives all pharmaceutical companies blanket immunity from any liability for damages arising from a vaccine-related injury or death:

Medical errors cause an estimated 250,000 deaths in the United States annually:

Yet most Christians put more faith in man’s methods of healing than in our Father’s holy promises for healing:

Jeremiah 17:5-8  Thus saith Jehovah: Cursed is the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from Jehovah.  (6)  For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh, but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, a salt land and not inhabited.  (7)  Blessed is the man that trusteth in Jehovah, and whose trust Jehovah is.  (8)  For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, that spreadeth out its roots by the river, and shall not fear when heat cometh, but its leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

If we do not obey our Father, He promises to put the diseases on us that were only meant for the world:

Exodus 15:26  and he said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his eyes, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases upon thee, which I have put upon the Egyptians: for I am Jehovah that healeth thee.

Deuteronomy 28:58-61  If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, JEHOVAH THY GOD;  (59)  then Jehovah will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance.  (60)  And he will bring upon thee again all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee.  (61)  Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will Jehovah bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed.

No one can receive anything including sickness unless our Father wills it for He controls everything from heaven:

John 3:27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it have been given him from heaven.

Ephesians 1:11 in whom also we were made a heritage, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him(Father) who worketh all things after the counsel of his will;

But He also promises to heal those who repent:

James 5:16 Confess therefore your sins one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The supplication of a righteous man availeth much in its working.

Psalms 103:2-3  Bless Jehovah, O my soul, And forget not all his benefits:  (3)  Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; Who healeth all thy diseases;

Everything God’s old covenant children experienced were written for our admonition upon whom the ends of the ages are come:

1 Corinthians 10:11-12 Now these things happened unto them by way of example; and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages are come. (12) Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.

Those OT children of God were to look forward by faith to the stripes of the coming Messiah for their healing:

Isaiah 53:5  But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

Whereas the Christian under the new covenant is to look back in faith to those stripes for our healing:

1 Peter 2:21-24  For hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that ye should follow his steps:  (22)  who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:  (23)  who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:  (24)  who his own self bare our sins in his body upon the tree, that we, having died unto sins, might live unto righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed.

After Jesus healed the man waiting for the troubling of the water, He commanded him to “sin no more lest a worse thing befall him” clearly proving obedience is a very important part of our health:

John 5:13-14  But he that was healed knew not who it was; for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in the place.  (14)  Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing befall thee.

We learn obedience by feasting on our Father’s Word daily as much as the Jews ate the unleavened bread in their wilderness:

Exodus 13:6  Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to the LORD.

John 6:51-58  I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.  (52)  The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?  (53)  Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.  (54)  Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.  (55)  For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.  (56)  He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.  (57)  As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.  (58)  This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.

The partaking of our Lord’s supper is a demonstration of our commitment to daily feasting on the Word of God that defines what sin is in God eyes:

James 4:17 To him therefore that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

Romans 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Howbeit, I had not known sin, except through the law: for I had not known coveting, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet:

Paul warned the church that there will be just as much sickness inside the church, as there is outside the church, for those not daily feasting on our Father’s Word and living by faith in His many promises:

1 Corinthians 11:27-30  Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.  (28)  But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.  (29)  For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body.  (30)  For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. 

Father will bring sickness upon us as a form of chastening to bring repentance but those who refuse to repent could end up being condemned with the world in damnation:

1 Corinthians 11:31-32  For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.  (32)  But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

Once a Christian comes to the knowledge of the truth and then chooses to willfully live contrary to that truth they are counting the blood of the covenant that they were sanctified with as unholy and without any regard for the Spirit of grace that our Father extends to us through faith:

Hebrews 10:26-31 For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more a sacrifice for sins, (27) but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which shall devour the adversaries. (28) A man that hath set at nought Moses’ law dieth without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses: (29) of how much sorer punishment, think ye, shall he be judged worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant wherewith he was sanctified an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? (30) For we know him that said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. (31) It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

This is when our Father scourges us to hopefully bring repentance:

Hebrews 12:4-6 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin: (5) and ye have forgotten the exhortation which reasoneth with you as with sons, My son, regard not lightly the chastening of the Lord, Nor faint when thou art reproved of him; (6) For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, And scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.

Contrary to the belief that drugs have saved lives, our Father clearly told us that no man has any power over the day of their death but Him alone:

Ecclesiastes 8:8  There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath he power over the day of death; and there is no discharge in war: neither shall wickedness deliver him that is given to it.

Father proved this with king Asa who lived a righteous life but in his end looked to worldly physicians for healing rather than Him alone and died:

2 Chronicles 16:12-13  And in the thirty and ninth year of his reign Asa was diseased in his feet; his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he sought not to Jehovah, but to the physicians.  (13)  And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign.

All of our days are ordained to us from our Father and He alone can lengthen or shorten those days:

Psalms 139:16  Thine eyes did see mine unformed substance; And in thy book they were all written, Even the days that were ordained for me, When as yet there was none of them.

Father gave His Son Jesus His power through His Spirit:

Luke 4:14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and a fame went out concerning him through all the region round about.

Luke 5:17 And it came to pass on one of those days, that he was teaching; and there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, who were come out of every village of Galilee and Judaea and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was with him to heal.

And Jesus in turn gave us as His disciples this same power to heal all disease and sickness through faith:

Matthew 10:1 And he called unto him his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of disease and all manner of sickness.

Luke 10:19  Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall in any wise hurt you.

Mark 16:15-18 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation. (16) He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieveth shall be condemned. (17) And these signs shall accompany them that believe: in my name shall they cast out demons; they shall speak with new tongues; (18) they shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall in no wise hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

He also commanded His disciples to take nothing for they where to heal through faith and free of charge:

Matthew 10:8-10  Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons: freely ye received, freely give. (9)  Get you no gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses;  (10)  no wallet for your journey, neither two coats, nor shoes, nor staff: for the laborer is worthy of his food.

By a doctor’s very methods of healing and extortionate fees associated with their profession proves they do not believe in Jesus’ free powerful peaceful promised healing:

Luke 8:43-48 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, who had spent all her living upon physicians, and could not be healed of any, (44) came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately the issue of her blood stanched. (45) And Jesus said, Who is it that touched me? And when all denied, Peter said, and they that were with him, Master, the multitudes press thee and crush thee. (46) But Jesus said, Some one did touch me; for I perceived that power had gone forth from me. (47) And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people for what cause she touched him, and how she was healed immediately. (48) And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.

Yet most Christians willingly yoke themselves to a doctor’s worldly methods of healing rather than faith in the promises of our Father:

2 Corinthians 6:14-15  Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers: for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? or what communion hath light with darkness?  (15)  And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what portion hath a believer with an unbeliever?

We are the temple of the living God who is dwelling and walking within us. When we put faith in man made medication we are making it an idol of healing by placing it in our Father’s temple:

2 Corinthians 6:16-18  And what agreement hath a temple of God with idols? for we are a temple of the living God; even as God said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.  (17)  Wherefore Come ye out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, And touch no unclean thing; And I will receive you,  (18)  And will be to you a Father, And ye shall be to me sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

We must learn to come out and remain separate from all man made idols of healing. Placing our faith in all the promises of our Father’s Word will cleanse us freely from all defilement of flesh which includes all diseases:

2 Corinthians 7:1  Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

The one time Jesus used a physical substance to heal, it was clay which represents man. Mixing His spit with the clay represents the living water spoken from His mouth which brings the healing in man to both physically and spiritually see:

John 9:1-7  And as he passed by, he saw a man blind from his birth.  (2)  And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this man, or his parents, that he should be born blind?  (3)  Jesus answered, Neither did this man sin, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.  (4)  We must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.  (5)  When I am in the world, I am the light of the world.  (6)  When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and anointed his eyes with the clay,  (7)  and said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam (which is by interpretation, Sent). He went away therefore, and washed, and came seeing.

The washing in the pool of Siloam represents the washing of water with the Word which will cleanse our spirit, soul, and body of all the curse including sickness:

Ephesians 5:25-27  Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it;  (26)  that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word,  (27)  that he might present the church to himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

1 Thessalonians 5:23 And the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved entire, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

But even Jesus was restrained from doing many of His mighty works because of unbelief in the promises:

Mark 6:4-6 And Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house. (5) And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them. (6) And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages teaching.

The Greek word “pharmakeus” from which we get the English word “pharmacist” is defined as a druggist or poisoner:

https://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?Strongs=G5332

The Greek word “pharmakeus” is translated into the English word “sorcerer”. Those who distribute and or use “medication” are “sorcerers” in our Father’s eyes for He sees them as practicing magical arts rather than living by faith in the promises of His Word:

Revelation 21:7-8  He that overcometh shall inherit these things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.  (8)  But for the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part shall be in the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone; which is the second death.

This should explain why most drug commercials list a half dozen possible side effects including death in exchange for the hope of being cured of one sickness!?!?!?

The fact that most pharmaceutical giants are headquartered in the USA should prove Revelation chapter 18 is talking about America:

Revelation 18:23  and the light of a lamp shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the princes of the earth; for with thy sorcery were all the nations deceived.

Jesus is testifying to the churches that sorcerers will be those cast outside the gates of His Holy city and cut off from the tree of life:

Revelation 2:7  He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. To him that overcometh, to him will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God.

Revelation 22:14-16  Blessed are they that wash their robes, that they may have the right to come to the tree of life, and may enter in by the gates into the city.  (15)  Without are the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the fornicators, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and every one that loveth and maketh a lie.  (16) I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things for the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright, the morning star.

Revelation 22:18-19  I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto them, God shall add unto him the plagues which are written in this book:  (19)  and if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book.

We have no right to ignore all the scriptures above in an attempt to promote our “beliefs” or we will be called a liar by our Father for going beyond what is written in His Word:

Romans 3:4  God forbid: yea, let God be found true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy words, And mightest prevail when thou comest into judgment.

1 Corinthians 4:6  Now these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes; that in us ye might learn not to go beyond the things which are written; that no one of you be puffed up for the one against the other.

Do we as Christians really want to risk losing our soul by giving man the glory for what our Father promises:

Isaiah 42:8 I am Jehovah, that is my name; and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise unto graven(man made) images.

Especially when our Father has finally increased man’s knowledge enough to begin to see how miraculously complex just one cell in our body is as it functions:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdjERhTczAs

Daniel 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

Psalms 139:14 I will give thanks unto thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: Wonderful are thy works; And that my soul knoweth right well.

MARANATHA!!

From the Tower of Babel to the mRNA Vaccine to CERN to HAARP to Gene Editing – It’s ALL about the same thing; and that is men and women attempting to copy (emulate) the works of the Creator of the Universe.

But just like the Tower of Babel, people become frustrated with the work of their own hands BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT GOD! And HE Will Frustrate Them!

What we are witnessing in our world today is not only mad scientists attempting to copy GOD, but these men and women have taken this to a knew dimension: Their goal is to depopulate the earth dramatically. Satan is their father. He is leading them in this endeavor step by step.

Definition of ‘Emulate’

Emulate: To strive to equal or excel,

especially through imitation Source

Brethren, can you see it?

“For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit” (Isaiah 14:13-15).

See what Tony Fauci did with the Covid-19 Virus:

Dr. Fauci Backed Controversial Wuhan Lab With Millions of U.S. Dollars For Risky Coronavirus Research

In that article you will see the nefarious work of Fauci and scientists from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where the main scientist nicknamed “Bat Woman” took over for Tony Fauci after a moratorium was called by Obama.

There is no doubt that Satan is the architect of the virus and now the dangerous vaccines. Can you imagine how many people have died and gone to hell because their time was cut short? This delights the Evil one. He knows that his time is short, so he will take as many people with him to a fiery hell.

We must pray – not just for our loved ones, but for those who are so lost, that they believe that the culling of humanity is for the “good” of planet earth. Pray for the lost among your friends and loved ones. Share this article with them if you think that they will read it.

We never know whom God can still reach – those who have not been given over to a reprobate mind.

MARANATHA!!

The gross mishandling of Covid 19 in NY by Andrew Cuomo was nothing short of Mass Murder. But it’s good to see that he is getting more than a slap on his Marxist wrist.

The biggest complaint about President Trump’s handling of the China plague was over the timing of the mandated wearing of masks. If Trump had committed the sins of Cuomo and then covered it up – there would have been a firing squad waiting for him.

From nytimes.com

Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo wrote a memoir on pandemic leadership last year. But questions around New York’s incomplete count of coronavirus-related deaths in nursing homes have undercut his national image.

Now, the Democratic leaders of the State Senate are in the final stages of crafting a bill that would strip him of emergency powers granted during the pandemic.

“I believe they should be taken away, hopefully sooner than later,” State Senator Gustavo Rivera said on Wednesday, adding that “we need to remind them that state government is not one big branch: There’s three of them.”

The details

Nearly a year ago, Mr. Cuomo was granted far-reaching authority to supersede state laws to combat the pandemic. He has signed dozens of executive orders since then, mandating shutdowns and instituting quarantine requirements for travelers, among other actions.

The bill’s passage, which could occur as soon as next week, would limit those powers and would be a remarkable rebuke in the aftermath of Mr. Cuomo’s admission that he withheld nursing home data from the Legislature, according to my colleagues Jesse McKinley and Luis Ferré-Sadurní. It would also establish a 10-person commission to evaluate his future pandemic-related directives.

It remains unclear if the State Assembly would follow the Senate’s lead, and any bill passed would also need to be signed by the governor himself — though Democrats could override a veto with supermajorities in both chambers.

The governor also faces a federal inquiry by the F.B.I. and the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District over his handling of nursing homes during the pandemic.

The Context

Critiques of the governor’s nursing home policies have been raised for months, and Mr. Cuomo had long dismissed them as partisan attacks. But on Wednesday, he lashed out at a critic from his own party, Assemblyman Ron Kim, a Queens Democrat who had said the governor had threatened him earlier.

After a report from the state attorney general and a court order, the official count of deaths of nursing home residents nearly doubled from about 8,500 to more than 15,000. Those who died in hospitals had not been initially included.

Mr. Cuomo’s top aide, Melissa DeRosa, also privately told some lawmakers last week that officials had withheld data because they worried about a possible Trump Justice Department investigation, sparking further allegations of a cover-up. The governor has since said that his administration’s lack of transparency was “a mistake,” but has stopped short of a full apology.

“That void of information caused the families who lost a loved one tremendous pain,” he said on Wednesday. “My administration created the void — and that I feel bad about. Not illegal, not unethical. But just failed people in that moment.” source

The left truly has no morals – no scruples. It probably has to do with their atheism.

Pray for these people who are hell bound if they do not repent and believe.
