Should We Take the Vaccine Shots? …an opinion

Someone asked me for my opinion on whether or not it would be right to take the Vaccine for Covid. Here is my reply…I welcome any input or discussion...”Questions / Comments: Bill, what are your thoughts on Christians taking the new covid vaccines? You hear conspiracy views talking it will change your dna and make people unredeemable to God. Thanks, share your thoughts

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. But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows. ( Luke 12:4-8)

Dear —- thanks for asking my opinion on this Covid vaccine matter. First I will tell you what I do not think, then I will mention my own caveats about what these shots could possibly be…


1) I do not believe that these shots could render anyone unredeemable. They may well be dangerous because they have to do with alterations on the level of RNA or Dna, and that ought to concern everybody, but I do not fear that they could have that kind of effect.

2) Nor do I believe that these shots constitute the Mark of the Beast , as in Revelation 13.

3) Look at the “fear mongering” which has descended upon us so suddenly and effectively! Were our forefathers such fearful and timid people, when they went out to tame this continent and build this beautiful free World we have been living in?  

As for my Caveats, they are many…


1) I have all kinds of problems with the way Governments seem to be seizing on this Covid crisis to attain previously unimaginable control over free people in a free society. One of our politicians of the Left said “Never let a crisis go to waste…”.  I do not trust these people , nor their “cure” of a disease that they have manipulated, propagandized about and generally terrified millions of people into relinquishing their own freedoms, livelihoods, and even religious observances in order to conform to the new Government edicts.Something about this stinks.


2) Another aspect of these ready made “cures” is that we do not really know what they used to test and produce them. There is a good chance that they contain aborted fetal tissue. That would make those who use them into cannibals, willing to sacrifice babies to live a bit longer. I am not a scientist of any kind and cannot profess expertise on the subject, but as I said, I do not trust our ruling class, they are amoral and even AntiChrist. These “Kings of the Earth ‘  would love to provide some kind of justification for the mass slaughter that is abortion, and they would also love to induce all of the population to participate in the sin, if not directly, then indirectly.Very simnilar to the so called “Medical advances” provided by Dr Mengele in the Nazi era. 


3) Trump is a pragmatist, a businessman who actually knows how to get things done on a swift and effective way. So “Operation Warp Speed” is his fast-tracking of these vaccines, waiving what would usually be five years of trials and tests, in order to get this “miracle vaccine ” on the shelves.

The ‘virus’ was used politically by his enemies to club him down, and the Vaccine being fast tracked is a political move of his own as well.

At this point, I do not trust it…seriously I do not want to accept it into my body.  Particularly if it is coerced. Everybody must seek the LORD and make their own decisions, prayerfully. I have a God, and He is not the US or World Government.


4) Definitely there is  Covid Virus. I have friends who have struggled with it, and some have died of it . Personally I believe it was an errant biological warfare project that got out of hand. Perhaps it was an outright attack by Communist China, I wouldn’t doubt it. 

But the suppression of knowledge about it, by Big Tech, and the suppression of provable alternative treatments for it, by the Government and Big Tech, tells me that there is a definite Dark spiritual component to it. 


This is why we have to pray, pray, pray for guidance. God does speak to His people, He knows what this is and what to do about it. We have a God, who is good, and whose nature is to hear prayer, Save, and to Heal as it pleases Him. 


There will be some real moral dilemma’s coming for some. For example, if a place of Work demanded their employees take a certain vaccine, (Which you researched and knew to contain aborted Fetal tissue), people are going to have to make some tough choices. 


Pressure is going to come to bear also on those who choose not to, when the inevitable second  or third wave of Covid arrives, and blame is put on those who abstained. Fear creates much pressure to conform.


I do not believe, as I said, that this is the “Mark of the Beast” but I do believe that this whole episode is a trial run for it. Governors demanding people give up Holidays? Making people cover their face? Forbidding eating together in restauraunts? Dictating who can come into your house ? Telling churches how they are to worship? All of the above seem to be compliances demanded in order to dehumanize us. I believe there will be long term psychological effects of people being forced to hide their faces behind masks, etc.

Some of these leftist fanatics are addicted to petty power and just simply won’t want to give it up.  The compliance of many to this is staggering also. I believe we are experiencing a sophisticated Psychological conditioning operation, which is degrading and soul deadening. 

We need to be individually persuaded in our hearts, internally guided after seeking God for direction and confirmation. There will be some who end up taking it without this. It would be harmful to condemn them. It is possible to sin in ignorance (supposing they took one of the vaccines which uses aborted fetal tissue, or something). God is an understanding and forgiving God.

There are also those in the fight of their lives in hospitals, they have Covid and are perhaps subject to other co-morbidities. If that is the case, they have a responsibility to live if at all possible. We must pray for them and encourage their families.

Only true Faith in God can elevate us above it all, and show us how to live (or die) in a way honoring to God and man. I hope this helps… Pastor Bill

  2. Mark Scott says:

    I still do not think that we even know the half of the story regarding COVID, which makes me even more suspicious of the vaccine. Also, as someone with a long-term autoimmune issue, I think that I will sit this vaccine out, especially knowing that there are excellent therapeutic drugs to treat and beat this disease.

    But given the entirety of what we have witnessed over the past year, I trust absolutely no one but God at this point. Can you blame me? So I will not be looking to get vaccinated until we know a little more.

    • billrandles says:

      I agree Mark,. We would love to bring the other therapeutics into the discussion, also Herbal and Vitamins. I do not believe that the only options are these Govt sanctioned “miracle cures:”.

  3. Ruth L says:

    I didn’t know until researching it this year that the regular flu vaccine has a cell line from aborted babies. I took the shot for years. I didn’t take it this year now that I know. But I know the Lord understands that I was ignorant. I have many health issues and autoimmune disease (and had pneumonia twice in three years due to flu), so I won’t be taking the Covid vaccine. I hope the Lord comes back or I die before it becomes mandatory (as I know it will).

  4. gridsource says:

    Thank you brother Randles, I appreciate your insights which happen to be 100% on par with mine!!! I feel the whole situation is based on lies and that sets the tone for how we as Christians should deal with it. We cannot possibly trust anything that comes out of this as I feel it is driven by a much bigger agenda that we cannot see or perceive at this point. What has become very apparent to me is that we have very clearly moved from a time of physicality to that of spirituality and unless we arm ourselves in this regard we have no defense whatsoever!!! Thank you for sharing brother as you have confirmed for me the thoughts and feelings I have had!! Love to all my brothers and sisters in Christ X

  6. Dear Bill,

    Thank you for sharing your thoughts and careful considerations on this important topic.
    In this well-documented study by Jeremy James 12 reasons are presented why not to take the mRNA vaccines: http://www.zephaniah.eu/index_htm_files/Worldwide%20Vaccine%20Experiment%20on%20Human%20Guinea-Pigs.pdf

    In my own article on the topic, I propose how these vaccines are a precursor to the mark of the beast, see: https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=nl&tl=en&u=https%3A%2F%2Fnadeopname.wordpress.com%2F2020%2F03%2F24%2Fopmars-naar-het-merkteken-van-het-beest-van-coronavirus-tot-dna-corruptie%2F

    This is a Google translated version of the article, as the original is in Dutch. English research links are included.

    Many blessings,
    Sabine

  7. KAT ESPY says:

    Dear Bill, the COVID-19 vaccine does NOT altera DNA or RNA. In the past, we would have to take a piece of the virus and cut it into little pieces and see which one of those little pieces could cause an immune response. We now use messenger RNA to make the specific piece we need because we don’t need the whole virus.
    Second, a right wing person said, “never let a crisi go to waste” – not a left winger. Did you go to school? Then you had vaccines. Polio was a virus that paralyzed people and you had to have an iron lung to keep people alive. Smallpox, measles, rubella, chicken pos, mumps – all of these were eradicated. Know how? VACCINES. Mumps are coming back because people like you are spreading misinformation about vaccines. The reason people are so easily deceived is because people have been dumbed down. And very few have the time or werewithal to research things. It’s easier to believe what someone says. Government is NOT taking away people’s freedom, they are taking the responsible and prudent actions to keep people safe. Or is 300,000 Americans dying from COVID not enough for you?

    I’ve heard alot of stories of nurses talking to people who are dying from COVID who are still refusing to believe they are dying of COVID, because someone misinformed them that COVID is fake news. Not believing in gravity doesn’t make it any less real.

    • billrandles says:

      Thanks Kat, this discussion was initiated for the airing of perspectives and yours is welcomed. I didn’t know that Rahm Emmanuel was a “right Winger” . I believe that there is a Covid and as I stated, I know people who have died of it. I also know those who have recovered, thanks to timely treatment. None of that nullifies my points , that it is a bad idea to “scare people” into anything, and that it is a bad idea to take a rushed vaccination. Thanks for your input and I welcome any thoughts on this subject.

    • billrandles says:

      BTW, I was given 2 or three vaccinations as a child, not the 70 some that children are subjected to today. Something doesn’t seem right…I believe we are allowed to question…still, right?

    • billrandles says:

      There is most definitely a massive loss of Freedom , in the name of Govt response to the Covid…https://45.79.56.181/focus/f-news/3917284/posts

      • KAT ESPY says:

        Open states, freedom to travel, freedom own guns, to give disinformation. The United States is paying a very heavy price for freedom. It seems this country is resigned to preventable firearm deaths and it is going the same route for COVID. I just can’t get over the scenario of millions of people dying from COVID and us being used to it.

    • Jeanne T. says:

      Kat,

      Just like Pastor Bill, I went to school, and I received vaccines. I can count on one hand the number because they were so few.

      Then I grew up and went to work for the Federal Government. I lived and traveled overseas, and each time I received more vaccines. No problem. In fact, I still have my vaccination record which goes back to 1978, when I first went abroad to live. The various vaccines I received over the years is less than the number our grandson received during his first year.

      I have usually gotten the flu shot, but even when I didn’t I never got the flu. I haven’t gotten around to getting it this year. Maybe I will, maybe I won’t. My husband never gets it. He has never had the flu. He spent 24 years in the Navy, traveling to all sorts of exotic places that required him to get certain vaccines that most Americans don’t get/need.

      Unless the COVID vaccine becomes mandatory I probably will not get it. It’s my choice.

    • Anthony P Cruz says:

      Kat Espy:
      There’s a way to lie without uttering a single untruth and bill clinton was a master of this technique. It’s called omission of the WHOLE truth. Your response to Pastor Bill is arrogant at best and un-Christian at worst. Bill was obviously not referring to Winston Churchill in rahm emanuel’s paraphrasing of Mr. Churchill’s quote spoken decades before. Nor can you place “yesterday’s vaccines” even remotely in the same category of those that presume to counteract covid. Are YOU educated? To wit: “Government is NOT taking away people’s freedom, they are taking the responsible and prudent actions to keep people safe. Or is 300,000 Americans dying from COVID not enough for you?” Do you actually TRUST the government to keep people safe? Really? The government condones the butchering of 3,000 babies DAILY in the name of “women’s reproductive health”. Once again I ask, are YOU educated? Educated people learn facts IN THEIR INTENDED CONTEXTS and make decisions thusly. Are YOU educated? Are you REALLY educated or are you merely using loose, disconnected and ostensible facts as a way to piously advance an unholy agenda? You’re making me wonder…

  8. penna4 says:

    I totally agree with Kate Espy’s comment and would like to offer this link if possible from Dr Jonathan Sarfati on vaccines from Creation Ministries International, Australia, which i have found very helpful and balanced. There seems to be an awful lot of what i would call misinformation around and it’s good to have a balance and it’s written by a Christian.

    Many thanks.

    • KAT ESPY says:

      penna4, thank you. I am not a preacher and wouldn’t tell a preacher what to do. But yet, people want to play doctor and talk about vaccines and medicines like they are experts. And yet these are the same people that when they get sick, they want the expertise of the doctors to diagnose and treat them. They don’t doubt the doctors’ opinions and recommendations to a T. I just want to know how come when these people are given a diagnosis and medications for their condition, they don’t disobey or distrust them? If their kid had terrible pains in the middle of the night, they wouldn’t sit and pray about it, they would run to the ER. So, why they do pick and choose? Is it because they have a double standard?

      • clay says:

        Actually I always question doctors’ opinions and recommendations especially if they do not seem correct and based on information that they can explain to me that makes sense. I have found there are doctors who are really good and know what they are doing and I trust their opinions because of the steps the take to reach those opinions and how they explain them.

        On the other hand I have met doctors who do not know what they are talking about and give bad diagnosis and opinions such that it could cause you great harm. It is important for everyone to think for themselves as much as possible and question things in a reasonable manner.

        As an example, I have had doctors give opinions on a condition without doing blood tests and based only on their observation. An experienced and good doctor will usually be on point but will still have you do a blood or similar test so they can complete a differential diagnosis and make sure their opinion is correct. A lazy doctor (there are more than you think for different reasons i.e. HMO doctor not going to order test to save $) will just give you their opinion. Some of these doctor’s opinions are no better than an intelligent person looking up a diagnosis using Google.

        So to say that we are only questioning the Covid 19 MRNA vaccines which have not even received full FDA approval process is simply an uneducated statement.

  9. Rabbitburn says:

    All you said boils down to be persuaded either way. Your double speak is ridiculously noted. All you said was pointless because you’re not bringing people together, you’re scattering abroad. Carnal minds are the devils workshop.

    Brother Randles I agree with everything you said. Bill Gates does not give his children any vaccines. Gave Africans some vaccines that killed a lot of them and paralyzed them. Glad I know the Lord. I pray for y’all and your church. Wish I lived there but I am 81 now and my husband is 86. We moved from Louisiana to Texas 6 years ago so we could live near our daughter.Six houses down. Come soon Lord Jesus.

  11. Lisa says:

    I like Pastor Bill that you encouraged people to pray about this. God know what we should do!

  12. Deemar says:

    The last sentence in your post says it all!
    And this “test” is really showing all of us who or what our faith is in. Personally, I choose to trust the LORD and no one else. He is above the lies and manipulation we face here – and He is certainly above any virus, as deadly as it may be.

    “He who seeks to save his own life will lose it, but he who loses his life for My sake will find it.”

    And “who, by worrying, can add a single hour to their life?”

    This is all an orchestrated distraction to what is truly critical: eternal life

    Thank you Bill, I am with you, and thank you for the discussions you open up for us to work through together 🙂

  13. Deemar says:

    We as Christians “love our neighbors” best by loving The LORD first, which requires our obedience to HIM, not the government. Daniel was trapped in the world’s wickedness and refused to “bow down” to the “mandates” and the Lord honored him, protected him, AND used it all for His glory – as even King Darius recognized His great power in the end! 💗💗💗
    AMEN!!

  14. standingfirm says:

    Wow, I know I am really late finding this thread about the Covid 19 vaccine. I appreciate reading a lot of different comments by everyone and what many pastors have to say. I will not be getting the vaccine myself. So far many have died from the adverse reactions. Many left with half their face paralyzed, grievous sores on the bottom of the feet, anaphylactic shock etc. Many in the health care field have refused the vaccine for the bad reactions. The last I heard, 55 people have died from it. Not to mention the permanent gene altering and nano particles. I read that having the vaccine you will be “traceable” from the particles and other items in it that they (big pharma) don’t advertise. I know a Christian woman who was a heavy smoker and diagnosed with emphysema. She had Covid two months ago and God pulled her through. Another lady from church was in a coma for two months on a ventilator and now she is sitting up in bed giving God all the glory!!! I will continue to walk in faith and if the good Lord wants to take me home before the rapture, He will do it one way or another. I pray Jesus continues to keep all my brothers and sisters in Him safe and secure.
    MARANATHA!!!!

  15. James David says:

    Could this be “The Great Falling Away”?
    Why are Christians consenting with corrupt Governemnts to not meet together in churches?
    Why are healthy people looking to the World Government for a cure & waiting for the hope given, through a lifetime course of injections? Should not our hope & trust in Christ our Saviour be our all sufficient?
    Why is Jesus warning us about the teaching of Balaam in the last days?
    Revelation 2:14, “you have there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols,” (Baal)
    Balak & Balaam could not curse God’s children, So they taught God’s chosen to eat things sacrificed to idols & to worship Baal.
    Today. Are we following the blind & consenting to be human temples of Baal?
    Here’s a link below to get us thinking about the Great Tribulation to come, before the 7 years of God’s wrath:

  16. Deemar says:

    Enough time has now passed – we can see what is happening.

    IF you have already “received it”, find comfort in this Truth:
    This evil plan will only succeed to the extent that our Sovereign Lord allows.
    HE is the One ultimately in control – allowing all things for our good and HIS GLORY.
    Romans 8:28

    If you have not, please do your research (without google), and you will see that this is a bio-weapon formed against us. This can be easily seen with God-given logic alone – that a virus with a 99+% survival rate has brought about these “shots” which have currently (based on what is reported) killed well-over 4000 people, as well as injured thousands upon thousands, and is closer to being “FDA approved” than ever. It is being forced upon mankind – and we are being manipulated by our enemy. My son just lost his job over this, as receiving it was “mandated” for him to continue working. He is young, strong, healthy – but yet considered a “health hazard” to the ignorant. The full health-ramifications of all of this will come LATER, and in many forms. They think they have a perfect plan. BUT GOD….

    This world is not our home. Lost souls should be our priority over this scheme – but yet, we are not to be ignorant of our enemies devices while we are still here. Many christian people are still considering this, and being backed into a corner over it… the LORD does NOT operate like that; it is ALL OUR ENEMY to LIE, THREATEN, MANIPULATE, SEEK, KILL, DESTROY.

    “TRUST in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness.”
    PSALM 37…. THE LORD WILL TAKE CARE OF HIS PEOPLE.
    I have been reading this Psalm 37 almost every single day in order to “take my thoughts captive”, as this is a VERY overwhelming time we are living in. I have shed many tears as of late.

    MARANATHA, JESUS, our ONLY HOPE!!

  17. Makina says:

    Hello pastor so I have a huge concern I received my first vaccine in May I started hearing all these rumors wish really scared me I decided not to get the second one at my job we were told we had to be fully vaccinated or we would be let go I got a religious accommodation. Them I was let go for a few weeks and won’t go back until they feel like it I guess. Anywho I’m now hearing soon kids won’t go to school if not vaccinated. I so see that. I feel they doing everything to force it. I also hear love thy neighbor so do it other Christians say. My kids 7 and 8 have morning appointments tomorrow for their 1st vaccine. I’m really scared part of me says no and then yes so I’m confused. First my job and now possible getting kids kicked out of school. My 7 yr old daughter has health conditions if she gets covid, well the outcome for her wouldn’t look good, and I’m TERRIFIED. I fell either way wrong. Pls give me advice, I don’t trust any answer but from you. God bless and thanks for ur time.

    • billrandles says:

      My dear sister I write you in fear and trembling since you seem to have invested such trust in Gods work through our ministry.
      The scripture God has given me to share is “whatsoever is not of faith is a sin…” Romans 14
      Can you really say that Gid has shown you that your little children need the vaccine in order to live ?
      If not, don’t subject them to it under any circumstances because all other motives fall short of the standard of faith. All that matters at this point is Faith in God. The World is using fear and coercion to force us into compliance. That is not Faith … ( Hebrews 11:6). We read in passages such as Hebrews 11 that for faith people paid various prices… I will pray for you, I hope this helps, feel free to keep me in touch and please do not fear(Isaiah 41:10)

    • JustAHunch says:

      Makina – You said “part of me says no” –
      You need to listen and heed that part.
      Have you asked Jesus to direct you in your life?
      If you have and He is speaking, are you missing what He says because you have brushed it off as “part of me”.
      Please heed that still small voice – that mother’s instinct!
      So many mothers did not and ended up with vaccine disabled children. A vaccine injury, much more common with this vaccine than anyone is saying, can upend your life in one moment.
      Again, take heed to your “gut” / your spirit / the voice of God trying to direct you…. whatever you call it…. it is a very important thing or it wouldn’t be there.
      Do not look to man/schools/tv on these medical decisions. Ask God – the author of your body and that of your children. He knows best but you need to listen to what you hear.
      Go with PEACE.
      I pray the Holy Spirit reveals to you what His voice Sounds like (ask Him if you don’t know) and may he keep you in His perfect peace.
