Former Southern Baptist Leader: Republican Presidents Are God’s Reward, Democrats Are God’s Punishment

“Great political leadership is a sign of God’s blessing, and its absence of a sign of God’s judgment. I believe that Mrs. Clinton’s husband being president of the United States was a judgment of God on the United States for our immorality and for our sin, especially in the child sacrifice of millions and millions of unborn babies.

“I believe that Barack Obama was the judgment of God on the United States for continuing down the road that we had been progressing under Bill Clinton.

“I personally believe that Donald Trump’s election shows that God has given us a narrow reprieve, given us a little more time to turn back to him, to turn back to the God of our fathers before he sends even more judgment upon us.” – Southern Evangelical Seminary president Richard Land.

Land stepped down as the head of the Southern Baptist Convention’s policy arm in 2013 following widespread condemnation for accusing Obama of using Trayvon Martin’s murder to “gin up the black vote.”

Earlier this year the Southern Baptist Convention was exposed for covering up hundreds of incidents of sexual abuse committed by its clergy.

RELATED: In recent appearances on JMG, Land has declared that opposing Trump is tantamount to treason and that he would have had to apologize to Jesus if he had voted for Hillary Clinton. As in the case with most evangelicals, Land loudly opposed Trump before the 2016 election, co-authoring a Christian Post op-ed which denounced Trump as a foul-mouth, philandering, misogynist fake Christian. That op-ed, titled Donald Trump Is A Scam, remains online.
