Virginia Pastor Who Defiantly Held Church Service Dies Of Coronavirus by Nobody: 8:36pm On Apr 13, 2020 |
He practiced what he preached — then he died of coronavirus. An evangelical pastor died of COVID-19 just weeks after proudly showing off how packed his Virginia church was — and vowing to keep preaching “unless I’m in jail or the hospital.” In his last known in-person service on March 22, Bishop Gerald O. Glenn got his congregation at Richmond’s New Deliverance Evangelistic Church to stand to prove how many were there despite warnings against gatherings of more than 10 people. “I firmly believe that God is larger than this dreaded virus. You can quote me on that,” he said, repeating it a second time to claps, saying that “people are healed” in his church. Happily announcing he was being “controversial” by being “in violation” of safety protocols — with “way more than 10 people” at the church — he vowed to keep his church open “unless I’m in jail or the hospital.” “I am essential,” he said of remaining open, adding, “I’m a preacher — I talk to God!” On Sunday, his church announced “with an exceedingly sorrowful and heavy heart” that the pastor had died a week after being diagnosed with COVID-19. His wife, Marcietia Glenn, is also sick with the bug, with church members offering their prayers. Their daughter, Mar-Gerie Crawley, told WTVR that her father initially dismissed his symptoms because he has a condition that often leads to fevers and infections. She is now urging everyone to stay home. “It becomes very real to you,” she told WTVR after her parents’ diagnoses. “I just beg people to understand the severity and the seriousness of this, because people are saying it’s not just about us, it’s about everyone around us.” Culled from the New York Post 1 Like

Tell Christians that God does not do stupid. How irresponsible of this pastor to put his family and the congregation at risk of this deadly virus. Further evidence of the powerlessness of Christians in the face of sickness. |

He obviously did not talk to God. His foolishness has led to his death and a lot of his believers will doubt him as well as words from men of God. His very own daughter is now urging people to go against what her father said, meaning she herself no longer believes he heard from God. If truly they still believe he heard from God then they can carry on with their services. 1 Like |

This is what happens when Christians try to dilute the word of God. The book of Romans 13:1-5 clearly states that Christians should submit to the laws of the government. The lockdown isn't an attempt to persecute the church, but to ensure the safety of the people. Why are Christians complicating scripture? 1 Like |

@ petra1 What's the latest news on 5g and the anti-christ? The news seems to have died down. No theories about the 5g this week. What happened? |
Re: Virginia Pastor Who Defiantly Held Church Service Dies Of Coronavirus by petra1(m): 12:14am On Apr 14, 2020 |
kingxsamz: They should do proper search into the side effect on human health first. |
Re: Virginia Pastor Who Defiantly Held Church Service Dies Of Coronavirus by kingxsamz(m): 12:23am On Apr 14, 2020 |
petra1:Oh, now they should do proper research? You're beginning to sound more like pastor Chris after realizing his mistakes ... What happened to the anti-christ now? What happened to 5g being the cause of deaths in Wuhan? Now you want them to do proper research on its effect on human health. I thought you were sure about 5g being the cause of deaths and also the tool for the anti-christ. eyah.. |

petra1: Nonsense which faith? He died in disobedience. His need to prove he was powerful and unafraid overrode his common sense. Perhaps he was even more concerned about tithes and offerings than the safety of his members. He has exposed himself as another impotent pastor claiming to talk to God. May he rest in peace and remain an example of why religion is ineffective. |
Re: Virginia Pastor Who Defiantly Held Church Service Dies Of Coronavirus by petra1(m): 5:43pm On Apr 14, 2020 |
Buliwyf: He probably died of something else . They seem to label everything covid-19 These days . Even when it's not related. |

petra1: Stop dodging my question. He clearly linked 5g and the anti-christ, he claimed the lockdown was so that Fg could install the 5g. He also stated that what caused deaths in China was 5g, not coronavirus. You yourself came out and displayed this same ignorance on this forum. Why all of a sudden, did he come out to say his only concern has been about the health implications of the 5g, that he would love to use 5g right away? He said "IF" there are health risks, they should look into it. He's not even sure if there were health risks before, but still came out to say all sorts of rubbish. Answer me, what happened to 5g being a tool for the anti-christ? Where's the zeal you used in typing crap before? Now your pastor came out to say that 3.25 billion people tuned in to listen to his service in over 227 countries. abeg how many countries dey this world? What's the population of Christians? Keep making a fool of yourself. 1 Like |

petra1: Did you even stop to think that the man could have had underlying health issues which he could have survived with good medical treatment? But due to his ignorance, foolishness and disobedience he caught the virus, making his case even worse. It's a known fact that people with health issues(especially older folks) are more vulnerable or likely to die from covid-19. 3 Likes |
