Source: Sacramento Bee
Pastor Michael Jacobsen isnt apologizing.
The leader of Palermo Bible Family Church in Butte County said Sunday that he doesnt need to defend his decision to hold services in person a week earlier an event at which an estimated 180 congregants were present with someone who had been infected with the coronavirus.
May I just say to all of our church, you dont need to defend us. When Jesus went before Pilate, he didnt defend himself. So I dont feel the need, Jacobsen said in a half-hour sermon that was largely devoted to the criticism Palermo Bible has received. Pontius Pilate was the Roman governor who is said to have ordered Jesus crucifixion.
I dont feel the like the decision we made was irresponsible, he said.

As long as they pass that collection plate, he doesn't care if anyone dies.

needs a little suffering for his stupidity.

It was the Sanhedrin Jews that wanted Jesus executed.

or is he going to accept responsibility for their deaths?
