Your body is the Temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19). You are made in God’s image
( Genesis 1:27 ). Why would it ever be ok to contaminate our bodies with a material or injection that contains aborted fetal cell tissue and fragments of fetal DNA? Why would it ever be ok for someone who is against abortion accept products from an aborted child? Why would it ever be ok to take in foreign DNA? Why would it ever be ok to allow our own DNA to be changed? Are these really hard questions? Thank you, Dr. T, for speaking boldly and revealing the deception. Many have been deceived. By speaking boldly maybe people won’t be so easily deceived again.
I feel many took the Jab as you call it because so many were dying and extremely sick. We took it by listening to the news because that is our source of information if we are not doctors like yourself. Many Christian Scientists believe that God will heal
Is without any doctor intervention. I would prefer both.
I cannot repent honestly for taking the vaccine. It has nothing to do with my strong belief in God . Please explain.
There were MANY sources of 'information' other than MSM. I'm pretty sure I did explain it already, but happy to do so again:
Your body is the Temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19). By volunteering to take the shot an experimental, unapproved bio-weapon with no long term studies (it's not a vaccine), and doing it for one of the 5+ reasons outlined in the article, the deception was believed (2 Timothy 4:3-4).
Taking the jab means turning to pharmakea's product to remove fear rather than asking the Lord to remove/ mitigate the fear. Trusting a human in a white coat who never even questioned what was IN the jab or WHAT it could do long term.... hmm.
I did not - and NEVER will - take any vaccine and specifically would NEVER allow an experimental product to be injected into my Temple. And, even if I had allowed it for ANY reason listed above, I'd err on the side of asking God to forgive me and heal my body, rather digging in my heels to say "I did the right thing" ......I'd confess the decision of my frail human mind for blindly believed the lie.
We now know by the numbers, without question, the shots the worst horror ever release on Humanity during this massive spiritual battle. And we know now that most died of medical malpractice, not the 'virus.'
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us.
Even those with "strong belief in God" sin and fall short.... (Romans 3:23)
I don't think I may have said, but 'pharmaceutical' is an anagram of 'Uh a malpractice'. Malpractice is the longest single word anagram from 'pharmaceutical' after 'pharmaceutic'!
Dr Tenpenny - that was sooo liberating to read. I live in Sweden and my Christian friends have for the most part taken at least 2 shots, some 4. At work (I work with older people) I´m the oldest in the workforce (late 50ies) and I was the only one who dared to say no. Now just about everyone have issues lighter or heavier. What worries me the most is that the ones in their 20ies feel tired and sick just about all the time. One could say that we´re sitting on a ticking timebomb. Who will take care of sick people when the caregivers themselves are sick?... I am wondering what will happen when the Christian doctors and nurses who pushed the shots realizes how they have been part of tricking people into taking poison in their bodies - what will that do to their minds and emotions?... Your advice is therefore liberating and I will translate this and have it ready to give away whenever needed. THANK YOU!!! / Yvonne W
PS - anyone here is free to translate ANY of my substacks into their native language and pass on! I'm grateful they are meaningful enough to use! God bless!
it will be a real problem, and (unfortunately) you are spot-on.
I know personally of a group of about 50 physicians who have gotten together in a private zoom group to talk about how they are so incredibly angry that they were "duped" and how "enraged at themselves" that they believed the lie. It's a start.
what I"m hoping is that soon many pastors and priests and rabbis will do connect the dots and do the same thing.
Many people acted on taking the shots because they never considered prayerfully beseeching God for guidance and simply blinded and trusted the works of the devil. We must always be on guard to his disception and lies that silently and blindly lead us away from our relationship with him, down a deceitful tunnel that the devil has again drawn us down. Like they say, "In God we Trust", everyone and everything else "I will run through God's tests.
Absolutely correct. It's a point I make in most of my HappyHour podcasts (on Tues/Thurs night) and here in these substacks. LEAN IN... and ask for guidance before you do...anything!
Dr. T, Thank you for your warning about 1.5 to 2 years ago, re: the imminent deaths of those we know and love, or permanent suffering due to the damage to their health.
It has begun for us. Almost a-dozen-plus vax injured, and *at least* two who won't see the end of 2023.
Leaning into the Lord as we face years of grief and mourning, for the numbers/count will grow.
Thank you Dr. Tenpenny for the lovely words and living your faith and love for the Lord. By the time this mess started 3 years ago, I had already had revelation about all shots in general. When this latest bioweapon was introduced I couldn't understand why people were bragging about cutting in line to get to the front to be shot up. We had no idea what was in it and it hadn't been tested long enough. Well, that was then. Since that time, I've gone down so many dark rabbit holes researching, connecting dots and learning some disturbing truths. I never intended to set out on that journey, but somehow I knew this was important to learn and to share with as many as would listen. During this time, and as always, I read and prayed Proverbs 1 & 2 where it talks about the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. I always pray that God would give me wisdom, discernment, knowledge and understanding. He did, and He does. I also wanted to share with everyone here one of my go to passages, and that is Psalm 139, especially verses 13-16. This is the one about how we praise God because we are fearfully and wonderfully made. He knew our frame before we were born and in our mother's womb. You see, He made me especially for my journey. Why would I mess up his masterpiece by willingly putting experimental pharmakia in my body, the body he created. I was ready to quit me job if my employer went with the mandating. Sixteen years ago, I accepted Christ as Savior and ending years of mutilating my body is so many ways. I repented of those things and turned the other way in a new direction. He accepted me just as I am. What a wonderful God we serve that he loves us so much that he would die for us. He gave everything for me, how could I not share with everyone the love he has given me, and that includes what is really happening today and why. All believers should praise God that we were put here for such a time as this. It is no accident. Praise the Lord.
Your response gives me pause. The woman in the bible with the issue of blood had made all the wrong choices, spent all of her money on doctors to no avail, bore in her body and pocketbook the results. Her desperation, her faith, her fear brought her to Jesus. He did not condemn, cajole, reprimand. She simply came and left whole. It is enough.
Thank you for sharing your heart, your prayers, your necessary warnings. I pray those who took it or talked others into taking will repent. I pray the Holy Spirit convicts them to the point of repentance. I wish our young people in churches that promoted taking the experimental drug could see adults truly role model a heart of repentance like they do a heart of worship. We need to teach young people “experimental drugs” are as bad as LSD, mushrooms, fentanyl, pot, abortion, bodily mutilizations, etc. KEEP WRITING, SPEAKING, and loving us well through your commitment to “do no harm” and your substacks. Thank you. You are loved, Dr. T (Sherry).
God Bless You Dr. Tenpenny & Edward Dowd! Both American Heroe’s & Patriots sent from God to share Truth in these dark times! I pray for both of you daily 🙏
Thank you Dr Tenpenny my Sister in Christ! I had a Christian family member ask my advice early on about the injection. I said no. I sent her many articles on the injections to educate her on the unknowns. One visit to her doctor was enough to convince her to take it. The doctor said because of her age and her asthma she should take it. I immediately felt anger and said (to my husband, not her) she chose her doctor over God. Fortunately she’s still doing ok, even with one minor stroke a few months ago.
I had many of the Bible passages regarding fear in my massage practice posted on the wall in the waiting room. My clients wouldn’t even read it. I learned later almost all of them got the injection. I only learned this because I had medical complications from working on them. I found out I was exposed to the spike protein. Fortunately I had antibodies to fight it. However, I could only work on clients who did not get the injection. Needless to say I lost my business. I’ve had to really process the LORD’s plan for me after that. Long story short I learned I was needed at home. So, He protected me enough from having serious symptoms, but just enough to pay attention and I listened to his warning. I’ve learned a LOT about my life in these past three years and who my friends really are. I trust God in everything. I just pray others will stop being defensive and see what they did to their temple was wrong. They didn’t take God’s word seriously enough. I’m not judging in what I say. I trust God 100%. Period. I wish others did. I will pray for our believers to take Him as seriously as He deserves.
Praising God and Thanking Him for the discernment He so LOUDLY gave to me in prayer over this shot 3 years ago! My husband was flat intent on this shot, I said NO YOU ARE NOT...in prayer had another been in the room with me, God would have been heard!! It was to the point.."NO" NO shot. I had no idea what to say to my husband and I basically said "Holy Spirit, You are going to have to do this one for me..I have no words. Please!" The words the Holy Spirit put forth from me to my precious husband were.. "When we got married, we became ONE. What you do to you. you do to me." Settled. God is always there when we reach for His Hand, He is Mighty, He is Faithful. We need to remember another thing..He tells us.."I abide in you and you in Me"..so we also do to HIM what we do to ourselves. Thank you for you Dr. Tenpenny. Much love to you and God's richest blessings.
I read it and I know by ll these verses. I didn’t say he never sinned. But if you say he sinned by taking it, then I disagree with you based on this. He took it exactly because he was trying to take care of his body and he shouldn’t have. He was paralyzed after a hospital didn’t restrain him from moving his injured neck in 83. Did he sin and this was a punishment? No!
I'm sorry to hear about his injured neck. It was not a punishment. We're going to have to agree to disagree on this point. I've had pastors write me back today saying they agree and agreed with God's mercy about it too.
I wouldn’t agree they sinned. My husband always tried to take care of his body and the information he had was to take it. He was an amazing, righteous, humble, compassionate, God-fearing, gentle, imitating Christ in all he did man!
I agree with Abigail. There are very few choices that have a 1-to-1 correlation with sin. Taking this shot is not one of them. I hope that you didn't mean to suggest that it does.
Good and Christian people took this shot for a variety of reasons. By the Grace of God noone in my household did, but if circumstances had been different we very well could have. That we are all sinners and that this shot is a bioweapon of the devil are true premises but not sufficient conditions for concluding that everyone who submitted to the jab was acting sinfully.
Jon: I do suggest that it is a sin - it was an active, voluntary choice to choose be injected by an experimental product....for what reason (I listed 5 reasons - there are probably more). I don't understand why this is offensive. The violation of the temple with a pharmakea poisonous product which many tried to WARN against...
... why did they chose a man-made injection over trusting God to keep the well?
And yet, God give us a way out, a way back, a way home.
Maybe the next article I will write will reflect on WHY people chose to NOT take the jab... they were equally exposed, had equal opportunity to get "the flu", but said no.
I question several points there Sherri. First, it was a choice with considerable coercion applied. If you say that it was a weakness, a defective faith, I can accept that, provided we hold to the humility that reminds us that we all have such defects. It was a bad choice to be injected with the shot but to suggest that anyone who made a different choice than you and I did has gone against Christ is unacceptable. If James and John were wrong to condemn disciples of Christ who did not follow with them is it possible that you are right to do the same thing and do you suppose that the voices of those who warned against the shot were so loud and so clear that any who didn't heed them is guilty of going against Christ?
This is akin to the circumcision controversy in the Apostolic Church or to eating food sacrificed to an idol, and we see that while at times he fights very manfully against allowing the compelled circumcision; Paul allowed Timothy to be circumcised but not Titus, and the Jerusalem Council forbade the Gentile Christians from eating the food as a matter of charity to the Jewish Christians not as a matter of fidelity to Christ. The key point is that just as neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is anything and that though we have good reason to stay away from food which has been brought into association with a demonic practice, the church rightly declares that neither of these is ab initio sin, though like any action these can be done with a sinful heart. As Augustine says, 'In Essentials Unity, In Non-Essentials Liberty, In All Things Charity.' This is a non essential-that is it does NOT go to the heart of the Gospel and must not be confused with those things which do.
I enjoy your writing very much, and both myself and the church in general have benefited from your work. I apologize for the sharp tone but I believe that you are making a choice which causes unnecessary division in the church, fosters self-righteousness in those who think that they 'passed the test' and despair in those who think that they failed. Anytime we find ourselves in the position where it appears that we got it right that is the time to be suspicious of our own hearts.
I used to think vaccines were of some use but not for the 'flu as I saw people fall ill anyway. In 2020 after 2 months solid research wondering why the world had gone stark raving bonkers over the 'flu and not in very good health myself, I turned my thinking round 180 degrees and realised we had been fooled by a great deception.
By June I had it worked out and had a summary completed which I issued to my family and friends before Christmas 2020 and those in my small fellowship in the UK.
I had been pleading with them to meet up together too as it says in the scriptures but people thought they had to obey the government rather than God. As a consequence the love of many grew cold, let alone common sense departing for another planet!
Most of those in the fellowship took the shots despite my warnings, some because they wanted to go on holiday! Many were ill as a consequence.
It wasn't just the shots you see, it was abandoning those in care homes etc. due to an imaginary threat - I knew by June 2020 the flu was not contagious despite what we had been told.
1 John 2:15 says
Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
They sinned against God but as you know and as Sherri has said forgiveness is available to those who confess their sins.
I think you may have missed the point that I was trying to make and you're taking an issue with accepting that by allowing yourself to be injected with an experimental bioweapon, with unknown ingredients and unknown consequences is a sinful act.
Ignorance or fear are understandable reasons, but are they excuses? A sin is not the rejection of Christ; it is not being Christ-like.
However, if gluttony, slothfulness, and disregard for our body as His temple is sinful, would not the voluntary injection of poison into the body also fall into the same category...
Even if the answer is "well, maybe..." wouldn't it be better to ask for forgiveness than to say "I have not sinned with my choice" ?
As I thought about this, I realized that there are a lot of issues here and that you deserve a decent response, not something flip and off the cuff. That response is here: https://comfortwithtruth.substack.com/p/on-covid-shots-and-sin But to summarize:
Dr. T, you say sin is ‘not being like Christ’, but the rock-bottom truth of the Gospel is that because we can never be ‘like Christ’, He became like us. Real life isn’t like Cinderella. The truth is that happily ever after doesn’t take place in the Prince’s castle, it takes place in a shack where the Prince digs ditches to put food on His and Cinderella’s table. The fantasy of our ever being ‘up there’ where God is is a very Old Testament fantasy, and when He creates New Heavens and a New Earth, it won’t be a palace of ease and pride. It’ll be a muddy, messy place full of the Prince and Princess’s dirty children running around in diapers. What I mean to say, is that we aren’t being made like our imagined God. We are being made like Jesus of Nazareth, a man who drank with drunks, was loved by whores, abandoned all of the people who got it right to chase after one sinful black sheep, and experienced fear and weakness. He didn’t change when He went back to His Father. That thought is unworthy of Him. He is not a man that He should repent. It is not our fortitude or discernment or any of that that needs to level up. Just our view of Christ. Love and peace, jc
Your body is the Temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19). You are made in God’s image

Why would it ever be ok to allow our own DNA to be changed? Are these really hard questions? Thank you, Dr. T, for speaking boldly and revealing the deception. Many have been deceived.

Wow! what a great testimony! Praise the Lord - share your story everywhere, please!

Did he sin and this was a punishment? No!
I think you missed what was said. Never did it say this was a punishment.
My thoughts: Jesus has already provided healing, its done. Just receive it by faith. He only asks that we believe. Such LOVE!
I'm sorry to hear about his injured neck. It was not a punishment. We're going to have to agree to disagree on this point. I've had pastors write me back today saying they agree and agreed with God's mercy about it too.
I wouldn’t agree they sinned. My husband always tried to take care of his body and the information he had was to take it. He was an amazing, righteous, humble, compassionate, God-fearing, gentle, imitating Christ in all he did man!
Did you really read this message...? Maybe you missed these if you just skimmed it..?
1 Corinthians 3:16-17 - Do you not know that your body is God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you?
1 John 1:9 - If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1 John 1:8 - If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
1 John 1:10 - If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and His word is not in us.
And then there's this one:
Romans 2:23 - For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God =>
we sin EVERY day by acts of commission (what we think/do/say) and acts of omission (what we SHOULD think/do/say)
I agree with Abigail. There are very few choices that have a 1-to-1 correlation with sin. Taking this shot is not one of them. I hope that you didn't mean to suggest that it does.
Good and Christian people took this shot for a variety of reasons. By the Grace of God noone in my household did, but if circumstances had been different we very well could have. That we are all sinners and that this shot is a bioweapon of the devil are true premises but not sufficient conditions for concluding that everyone who submitted to the jab was acting sinfully.

I question several points there Sherri. First, it was a choice with considerable coercion applied. If you say that it was a weakness, a defective faith, I can accept that, provided we hold to the humility that reminds us that we all have such defects. It was a bad choice to be injected with the shot but to suggest that anyone who made a different choice than you and I did has gone against Christ is unacceptable. If James and John were wrong to condemn disciples of Christ who did not follow with them is it possible that you are right to do the same thing and do you suppose that the voices of those who warned against the shot were so loud and so clear that any who didn't heed them is guilty of going against Christ?
This is akin to the circumcision controversy in the Apostolic Church or to eating food sacrificed to an idol, and we see that while at times he fights very manfully against allowing the compelled circumcision; Paul allowed Timothy to be circumcised but not Titus, and the Jerusalem Council forbade the Gentile Christians from eating the food as a matter of charity to the Jewish Christians not as a matter of fidelity to Christ. The key point is that just as neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is anything and that though we have good reason to stay away from food which has been brought into association with a demonic practice, the church rightly declares that neither of these is ab initio sin, though like any action these can be done with a sinful heart. As Augustine says, 'In Essentials Unity, In Non-Essentials Liberty, In All Things Charity.' This is a non essential-that is it does NOT go to the heart of the Gospel and must not be confused with those things which do.
I enjoy your writing very much, and both myself and the church in general have benefited from your work. I apologize for the sharp tone but I believe that you are making a choice which causes unnecessary division in the church, fosters self-righteousness in those who think that they 'passed the test' and despair in those who think that they failed. Anytime we find ourselves in the position where it appears that we got it right that is the time to be suspicious of our own hearts.
I used to think vaccines were of some use but not for the 'flu as I saw people fall ill anyway. In 2020 after 2 months solid research wondering why the world had gone stark raving bonkers over the 'flu and not in very good health myself, I turned my thinking round 180 degrees and realised we had been fooled by a great deception.
By June I had it worked out and had a summary completed which I issued to my family and friends before Christmas 2020 and those in my small fellowship in the UK.
I had been pleading with them to meet up together too as it says in the scriptures but people thought they had to obey the government rather than God. As a consequence the love of many grew cold, let alone common sense departing for another planet!
Most of those in the fellowship took the shots despite my warnings, some because they wanted to go on holiday! Many were ill as a consequence.
It wasn't just the shots you see, it was abandoning those in care homes etc. due to an imaginary threat - I knew by June 2020 the flu was not contagious despite what we had been told.
1 John 2:15 says
Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
They sinned against God but as you know and as Sherri has said forgiveness is available to those who confess their sins.
I think you may have missed the point that I was trying to make and you're taking an issue with accepting that by allowing yourself to be injected with an experimental bioweapon, with unknown ingredients and unknown consequences is a sinful act.
Ignorance or fear are understandable reasons, but are they excuses? A sin is not the rejection of Christ; it is not being Christ-like.
However, if gluttony, slothfulness, and disregard for our body as His temple is sinful, would not the voluntary injection of poison into the body also fall into the same category...
Even if the answer is "well, maybe..." wouldn't it be better to ask for forgiveness than to say "I have not sinned with my choice" ?
As I thought about this, I realized that there are a lot of issues here and that you deserve a decent response, not something flip and off the cuff. That response is here: https://comfortwithtruth.substack.com/p/on-covid-shots-and-sin But to summarize:
Dr. T, you say sin is ‘not being like Christ’, but the rock-bottom truth of the Gospel is that because we can never be ‘like Christ’, He became like us. Real life isn’t like Cinderella. The truth is that happily ever after doesn’t take place in the Prince’s castle, it takes place in a shack where the Prince digs ditches to put food on His and Cinderella’s table. The fantasy of our ever being ‘up there’ where God is is a very Old Testament fantasy, and when He creates New Heavens and a New Earth, it won’t be a palace of ease and pride. It’ll be a muddy, messy place full of the Prince and Princess’s dirty children running around in diapers. What I mean to say, is that we aren’t being made like our imagined God. We are being made like Jesus of Nazareth, a man who drank with drunks, was loved by whores, abandoned all of the people who got it right to chase after one sinful black sheep, and experienced fear and weakness. He didn’t change when He went back to His Father. That thought is unworthy of Him. He is not a man that He should repent. It is not our fortitude or discernment or any of that that needs to level up. Just our view of Christ. Love and peace, jc
Well said!
Well, thank you.
