FDL Late Night: Pastor Calls For Obama’s Death
Then he appeared on Alan Colmes’ Fox radio show and explained that Tiller’s real sin wasn’t abortion but not being right with Jesus, though Dr. Tiller’s church thought he was right enough with Jesus to be an usher. He also laid out his prayer style to Fox’s Alan Colmes:
Imprecatory prayer is agreeing with God, and if people don’t like that, they need to talk to God. God said it, I didn’t. I was just agreeing with God.
When Colmes asked if there are others for whom Drake is praying "imprecatory prayer," Drake hesitated before answering that there are several.
The usurper that is in the White House is one, B. Hussein Obama.
Colmes then asked:
Are you praying for his death?
Drake replied:
Yes
Colmes pressed on:
So you’re praying for the death of the president of the United States?
The pastor replied:
Yes.
Colmes asked Drake if he was concerned that by saying that he might be placed on a Secret Service or FBI watch list, and if he believed it appropriate to talk or pray that way. Drake responded:
I think it’s appropriate to pray the Word of God. I’m not saying anything. What I am doing is repeating what God is saying, and if that puts me on somebody’s list, then I’ll just have to be on their list.
Colmes asked again:
You would like for the president of the United States to die?
And Drake firmly said:
If he does not turn to God and does not turn his life around, I am asking God to enforce imprecatory prayers that are throughout the Scripture that would cause him death, that’s correct."
But Dr. Johnny Hunt, pastor of First Baptist Church of Woodstock, Georgia, and president of the SBC, says Drake’s comments are out of line:
[That's a] terrible statement, [a] very unbiblical statement. I’m still encouraged that the [Book of] Proverbs teaches that God has the water in a channel — and my prayer has always that God would turn hearts.
Sing Oldham, vice president for convention relations with the SBC Executive Committee stated that while Drake served one year as second vice president of the SBC, he is not now nor has ever been a spokesman for the convention:
Mr. Drake does not represent Southern Baptist actions, resolutions, or positions in his interpretation and application of ‘imprecatory prayers.’ Any comments made by Wiley Drake on this subject represent his personal views, not those of the Convention…I think it is fair to say that the vast majority of Southern Baptists reject any call to pray imprecatory prayers of death over any individual.
On his radio program, Alan Colmes asked if Drake felt his for of Christianity was the only right one, and Drake admitted it’s not. Thank God(s)
However, imprecatory prayers are used by Sarah Palin and her witch hunting pal, Mary Glazer who both prayed a witch out of Alaska, and Mary Glazer and others prayed for the death of Mother Theresa. Palin and Glazer are part of the New Apostolic Reformation:
New Apostolic Reformation believe that they have been mandated by God to cleanse and purify the earth of what they view as evil, which includes all competing religious and philosophical beliefs. In their own words they believe that they must take control of all aspects of society and government and they are well on their way in some locations. They also believe that their prayers can, and have, maimed, killed, and destroyed others around the globe as is demonstrated in numerous witch hunting stories as well as stories of property destruction.
Call them crazy, but when people are motivated by the idea of religious salvation whether it be with Jesus and the angels or 72 virgins, they just may do something more intense than just praying for the death of a hated figure.
Just throw the twit in jail. Please.
