Pastor Michael Jacobsen isn’t apologizing.

The leader of Palermo Bible Family Church in Butte County said Sunday that he doesn’t 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 don’t need to defend us. When Jesus went before Pilate, he didn’t defend himself. So I don’t 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 don’t feel the like the decision we made was irresponsible,” he said.

3. Sure Pontius Pilate ordered the crucifixtion but...

It was the Sanhedrin Jews that wanted Jesus executed.

4. Does he think parishioners who die from Covid-19 will resurrect in 3 days?

or is he going to accept responsibility for their deaths?
