My Position on the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA Covid-19 Vaccines
Updated 4/2023
I am opposed to taking the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA Covid-19 vaccines. As a Christian and an ordained minister, I believe that the Covid-19 vaccines violate God's will as revealed in the Bible. Genesis 1:26 teaches that God created the human body and its human immune system to function in the exact way He created it. The Covid-19 vaccine s interfere with this function. The "new technology" of the Covid-19 vaccines insert genetic code instructions into the cell to direct it to make spike proteins. This interferes with the function of the human immune system as God designed it. God's intent was for the DNA within a person's body in a cell nucleus to give genetic code instructions not anything outside the cell. Therefore, this process is a violation of God's will for humanity.
This is my sincerely held belief which prevents me from taking the Covid-19 vaccines.
Sincerely in Christ,
Rev. Ron Jones, D.D.
President, The Titus Institute

The Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson and Johnson Covid-19 vaccines interfere with the function of the human immune system which God created. These vaccines give genetic code instructions to the cell that does not originate from the DNA in the cell.
