12. 2 Corinthians 3:17 My faith teaches me that liberty, freedom of choice, is a vital part of God’s presence in my life. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty, life and pursuit of happiness. To support any pressure to be … or lose one’s livelihood is a violation of this liberty, and a denial of of God’s presence in my life.

11. Revelation 13:15-17 I DO NOT believe that taking this … is the “mark of the beast.” Yet the economic sanctions in Revelation 13, and the real threatened loss of livelihood are eerily similar. Whether I am … or not …, my faith calls me to conscientiously stand against the economic pressure placed against people to make decisions under the real, coercive and unconscionable threat of economic hardship.

9. Romans 13:8 My faith instructs me that my obligation to my community is love. I am to love others as I love myself. For me to take this … would be an encouragement to others around me to believe that I thought it to be safe and best for them. This would communicate a message that I am not convinced is true, and therefore could be misleading. Therefore it is not a loving act towards my community.

5. Romans 14:1-5 My faith instructs me that there can be differences of opinion within Christianity. This means that other Christians, even within my own faith group, including those holding positions of leadership may not be persuaded as I am. My convictions are not based on the convictions of others - they are between myself and God.

3. Daniel 1:5, 8. My faith instructs me that however well-meaning government health provisions are, they may conflict with my personal conscientious convictions, and when they do, I am to choose the latter.
