Is civil disobedience against mask mandates supported by Acts 5:29?

What is the Biblical basis for pastors like Artur Pawlowski refusing to follow public health directives?

@spjennifer A moron of biblical proportions.

@QuixoticSoul Pretty much, If I remember correctly Acts 5:29 is about Men obeying the will of God over the will of Man but I'd like to know where exactly in the Bible it says "It is God's will that Man will not wear a mask"?

That verse is in 2 Opinions 13:2 @spjennifer

@spjennifer Not sure, but the bible does include this little bit:

[quote]Leviticus 13:45

“Anyone with such a defiling disease must wear torn clothes, let their hair be unkempt, [b]cover the lower part of their face[/b] and cry out, ‘Unclean! Unclean!’[/quote]

@QuixoticSoul Yeah, leper colonies, might be a good idea with the Anti-Vax crowd! 😆

@QuixoticSoul Here's a more scholarized rendition, from a word-for-word translation from Aramaic and Hebrew sources: (NASB 2020)

"45 “As for the person who has the leprous infection, his clothes shall be torn and the hair of his head shall be [a]uncovered, and he shall cover his [b]mustache and call out, ‘Unclean! Unclean!’"

It actually kind of checks out, depending on what the Law defines as a defiling disease. Anything to do with rotting, blood, and excessively mucous secretions tend to fall in this category.

@SW-User Still waiting for these jokers to follow the word of God then, haha "Unclean!, Unclean!" 😆

@spjennifer A sudden jump into Levitical Law would probably destroy our way of life lol
