Pastor dies of coronavirus after proclaiming ‘God is larger than this dreaded virus’

[Mtt]

A pastor has died from coronavirus after claiming "god is larger than this dreaded virus".

Bishop Gerald Glenn died just days after testing positive for Covid-19.

Before he was diagnosed with the virus, Glenn addressed a congregation New Deliverance Evangelistic Church in Richmond, Virginia.

The state banned gatherings of ten or more people 24 hours later.

Glenn had diverticulitis, which inflames the intestines, according to daughter Mar-Gerie Crawley, who said it was not unusual for him to have fevers.

But his health worsened last Sunday and was put on a ventilator in hospital.

IT WAS GOD'S WILL

IT WAS GOD'S WILL

For what it’s worth:

I live in the Richmond area and the Sunday he made this speech was on 3/22 and the state didn’t officially lock down until 3/30. But a lot of pulpit grandstanding is getting exposed out here. True faith in the Bible is that you believe that Jesus was Son of God and that He died in our place and took the punishment for our sin. It’s not the absence of reason.

Also, the Bible got chapters breaking down how we supposed to be eating unclean animals. Look at this right here:

We ain’t supposed to be eating that!!

It’s no different than unnatural sex and HIV. God is probably like smh right now.

Definition provided by google
Supernatural:
(of a manifestation or event) attributed to some force beyond scientific understanding or the laws of nature.
or
manifestations or events considered to be of supernatural origin, such as ghosts.

Well, then that means the origin of the Universe is 'supernatural'.​

Ancients civilizations believed what they believed to give answer to the what and how since they didn't have the advancement in science to make practical sense of it. They also used it to keep the separation from the haves and the have nots. "You are poor because you were met to be poor and I'm of divine lineage"

False. There was no such thing as 'poor' for instance. There were a few different classes in societies such as wife, concubine, King, etc. Their understanding of the Universe was based on experience and what they could see, feel, touch, taste. Science didn't exist.​

​

Old testament borrowed from those previous religions (which later became known as myths because people knew they were made up tales)

And this is entirely false. It used to be known as 'Panbabylonism' and died in the 19th Century. All the civilizations in the Ancient Near East, from Egypt to Afghanistan, had a shared understanding of 'cosmology'. There was no 'borrowing' since they all created it. Can't borrow from yourself. None of them thought they were 'myths' as they were all theological messages, not explanations of nature.​

I’m not telling you to run out and join a church but you aren’t seeing the big picture. Science can’t save us from a virus. We cured smallpox and polio then along came HIV, we can almost cure AIDS! Then along came corona, we can cure corona along comes Corona3000, we will never win WITHOUT god. The devil can corrupt all men scientists, politicians none of us are immune

the end is near brehs all signs are pointing to it

 

[Cadillac]

Isn't it all laid out right there in the Bible(if you're Christian)
If you don't want to follow it and just make up things to suit you then why follow to begin with?

its not about not following the bible, its about taking away what you read and your interpretation.
Theres a reason why despite all going by the book theres diff types of christians, and within that you got individuals, mini groups, that believe what they interpreted.

 

[Cadillac]

Jesus said himself let the dead bury the dead, this world is not our dwelling place for eternity
secondly even peter couldn't cast out certain demons out of individuals
john the baptist who was prob the 2nd most loved religious man to walk the earth had his head chopped off
thecoli laughs and giggles like it says in the bible if you blieve in God and are a christian you will never die or get sick

facts, but you know nikkas don't want to hear this

 

[Lamar Givens]

Yeah I feel you, if I was a dumb ass older nikka I would also assume only kids read as they are closer to school age. I mean I feel you, I think the bible is full of bull shyt but I also don't claim to follow it. But you Christians always want to have it both ways.

1. Your life is bull shyt.
2. Whatever you believe that you think is truth is bull shyt.
3. While you focusing on your disdain for Christians examine your own hypocritical fukked up life and judge yourself before you judge others.
4. It’s sinners like you who want to have it both ways.


Like I said, miss me with the young nikka logic you spitting. You got a lot of life lessons to learn.

You think you got if figured out and you nowhere near to having full knowledge.

Go idolize and worship ya lil rapper and athletes you look up to for guidance and direction.

The origins of the universe, explained

False. There was no such thing as 'poor' for instance. There were a few different classes in societies such as wife, concubine, King, etc. Their understanding of the Universe was based on experience and what they could see, feel, touch, taste. Science didn't exist.​

​

Once structured civilization happened there very much was class systems in place with the King and those close to him at the top and workers/commoners at the bottom. Maybe not everywhere but at least in Ancient Egypt it was.
Also they did have science
History of science in early cultures - Wikipedia

And this is entirely false. It used to be known as 'Panbabylonism' and died in the 19th Century. All the civilizations in the Ancient Near East, from Egypt to Afghanistan, had a shared understanding of 'cosmology'. There was no 'borrowing' since they all created it. Can't borrow from yourself. None of them thought they were 'myths' as they were all theological messages, not explanations of nature.​

Yes borrowed. If they all came up with it together than they would all be the same. One group of people heard the stories of another group and passed it on but since it was done orally things were lost, forgotten, and changed. That why they have similarities like the flood but the small stuff was different.
And of course the didn't see them as myths but by the time Christian got popping they were.

My last post in this.

think of it this way...., if you burned all religious bookS. In 500-1000 years people would make Up different stories and Have different prophets with different values. Because all religion is written stories made by other people.


If you burned every science book all those ideas would still come back because everything is testable and based on fact.

i deal with facts. Y’all should too.

Science is what teaches you about a virus and how to cure it

 

[Silkk]

God and the bible helps dealing with the fear of death and coping with death.


As far as stuff in the world today, well.......

Exactly

 

[23Barrettcity]

He didn’t make the virus, humans did.

That’s speculation

 

[Listen]

As I tell my very Christian mom at least twice a year.:

There was a flood and a woman was in her house. The water was as high as her front door and her Neighbors came by and asked her to come in their SUV to drive away and she declined . “God will protect me.”

The water went higher and forced the woman to her second floor. A boat of rescuers floated by and called for her to come with them and she declined. “ God will protect me.”

The waters rose so high it forced the lady onto her roof. A helicopter flew over head and dropped a ladder and basket down to save her and she declined. “God will protect me.”

She drowns.

Her soul rises to heaven and she finally sees Jesus and is confused.

“I prayed and prayed and installed all my faith that god would provide and save me, and here I am dead at the pearly gates. Why didn’t you heed my prayers??”

Jesus looks at her and says “ I sent your neighbors, and a boat and a helicopter...”

Once again, dumb nikka logic. Just because I don't agree with you, I think I know everything and have it all figured out. You argue like an idiot, and protect heavy, but you don't read so......
