Men of god die from Covid after chastising it and its potential

It seems these people (and these aren't the only ones), making such a public statement of faith would, if they falter, show god to be weak, their faith to be misplaced and or god being absent and or not caring.
These kind of things aren't 'new' - they've been happening for centuries: man of god makes a claim with his faith and then succumbs to what he was chastising.
Meshach Shadrach and Abednego seemed to 'have it together' so what's going on since then?
For discussion:
Why do you think god allows these public statements of faith to happen and then, fall from grace so readily? Surely god knows this makes him and his church look weak or, at the worst, showing him not to be real or caring enough to do something about it.
Or does god only 'work in the shadows' in ways not to glorify him and his abilities (even though jesus is said to have held large gatherings showing his abilities at times)? And, if so, how is that helpful to his cause among the masses?
Does covid show there is no god or god intervention?

Post #11None. It was a link to a page of preaching from (in my view at least) a debunked book of myth and a debunked religion.thomasdixon wrote: ↑Sun Jan 02, 2022 9:47 pm Any comments on what I found?

I know that's the way vaccines have always worked with bacteria. An inoculation of a weak dose of the bug activates the natural defences against the actual disease. I'm not sure whether that's how anti -viral vaccines work, as viruses (being almost non -organic) are trickier than bacteria and in the early days were almost untreatable.brunumb wrote: ↑Sun Jan 02, 2022 11:55 pmWhat evidence do you have in support of that belief? It only takes a very small dose of the virus to result in infection and subsequent illness. Investigate further and you should find that the vaccine does not consist of the virus itself.thomasdixon wrote: ↑Sun Jan 02, 2022 9:26 pm I believe these vaccines are nothing more than a very small dose of the virus. This small dose activates your antibody defense.

Post #13To understand your point of view, from your response it seems you do not believe in the “bible” or the reported news articles presented in the linkTRANSPONDER wrote: ↑Mon Jan 03, 2022 7:55 amNone.

if you are referring to the vaccine, I have no evidence and should not have stated what otherwise

From https://www.verywellhealth.com/what-is- ... ine-200925A live virus vaccine contains a live, weakened (attenuated) virus that helps your body develop an immune response without you developing symptoms of the disease it is intended to prevent.
The weakened virus "teaches" your immune system to recognize the disease-causing pathogen and launch a pathogen-specific attack if it encounters it again. Many vaccines of this type give you lifelong immunity with only one or two doses.1
