House delegate: 'It felt like condemnation'

RICHMOND, Va. (ChurchMilitant.com) - Virginia Democrats stormed out of the state's House of Delegates when a local pastor condemned abortion and so-called gay marriage.

Invited to give the opening prayer, Rev. Robert M. Grant Jr. last week warned state lawmakers of God's wrath on those who reject biblical principles and greenlight abortion and sodomy.

"The unborn have rights and those rights need to be protected. They should never be denied the right to exist, the right to develop or the right to have a family. The word of God has given us a warning: woe to anyone who harms an innocent child," prayed Grant. "Every one of you sitting here today can guarantee these rights to these little innocent children of Virginia. They are in their trimesters as we speak."

Several Democratic delegates stormed out of the house chamber with one yelling, "Is this a prayer or a sermon?" Democratic Speaker Eileen Filler-Corn abruptly ended the prayer by banging her gavel and immediately beginning the Pledge of Allegiance.

Before being cut off, Grant was able to pray more against abortion before turning his spiritual guns on so-called same-sex marriage. He prayed that both sides "would do their job and stand for what is right in the sight of God."

"I pray that you may understand that all life is precious and worthy of a chance to be born," Grant affirmed. "God is the giver of life and people have no right or authority to take life."

God bless this pastor for his courage and charity.

I ENJOY it every time!!!!

Kind of like the old guy that asked the Marine guard at the White House to speak to Pres. Obama.

Sir, Barack Obama is no longer President. Donald Trump is.

And sir, you have been asking that same question every day for many weeks.

Yes, and I enjoy your answer every day. I’ll see you tomorrow.

The Divil’s Disciples flee because they can’t stand being in the presence of the Lord’s Holy Word.

Not enough probably. This is a big deal, and so refreshing to hear when a fellow American stands up against evil.

Democratic House delegates like Luke Torian took offense. Torian afterward remarked that Grant's prayer was "totally disrespectful to all of us, all of us in this House."

About Luke

Delegate Luke Torian was elected to represent the 52nd district in the Virginia House of Delegates in 2009. He serves a constituency of approximately 80,000 Virginians in Prince William County. Delegate Torian is Chair of the House Appropriations Committee. He also serves on the Rules and General Laws Committees in the House of Delegates. He has been a Minister for over 35 years and has served as Pastor of First Mount Zion Baptist Church in Dumfries since 1995.

So I wonder who Rev. Luke prays to.

How can any Christian, especially a so-called reverend belong to the party of Satan?

Prayers for these Democrat servants of Satan to be destroyed.
