Televangelist Marcus Lamb Who Called Vaccine Mandate 'Sin' Against God Dies Of COVID

Source: Newsweek

Marcus Lamb, a televangelist and founder of Daystar Television Network, has reportedly died of COVID-19 after maligning vaccines and allegedly taking ivermectin to prevent infection.

Daystar Television confirmed Lamb's death on Tuesday, although the network's announcement didn't mention a cause of death. However, Marcus' wife, Joni Lamb, confirmed her husband died from COVID-19, saying that he had been hospitalized after his oxygen dropped and alternative treatments proved ineffective.

Lamb, according to Joni Lamb, was diabetic, which made him a high risk for becoming seriously ill from COVID-19 and the 64-year-old was just on the cusp of being considered high risk because of his age.

Franklin Graham, president of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, also posted that Lamb died of COVID-19 complications and his death came about a week after his friend, Perry Stone, asked for prayers for Marcus, who he said was battling a "severe case" of COVID-19.

Agreed! So many silver linings! --- Why do they never admit *death* or the *reasons* it happened? It's always things like "was called home" and "Jesus needed him" etc etc.

“This morning at 4 a.m. the president and founder of Daystar and the love of my life went to be with Jesus,” said his wife, Joni, on a Tuesday (Nov. 30) morning broadcast. “I wanted you to hear from me that he’s with the Lord.”

If he actually called getting vaxxed a sin against God, he was an even bigger idiot than most "rank and file" antivaxxers. That is absolutely outrageous and unspeakably presumptuous.

How much more ridiculous can these pinheads get? (Don't answer that; I really don't want to know!l

There is a story about a man stranded on his roof during a flood. He begs God for help. Three people try to rescue him through various means but he turns down all three, because God will save him. The man drowns. When he gets to heaven, he tells God he prayed, but God didn’t listen. God told the man he tried three times to help, and the man refused all three times. What more could God do?

Moral for the Bible thumpers: Same with the vaccines. If you are so sure God’s hand controls, then God gave man science and gave people the intelligence to use it. If you reject it, that’s on YOU.

Multi-millionaire U.S. evangelist confesses on his own TV network to cheating on wife after being blackmailed
By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
UPDATED: 11:45 EST, 3 December 2010

The founder of America's second biggest Christian television network has come clean about an affair after claiming he was threatened with extortion for millions of dollars.

Evangelist Marcus Lamb, 53, who earns a fortune from his Dallas-based network Daystar, made an astonishing TV confession after three people demanded $7.5m to keep the story out of the papers.

His statement followed a lawsuit filed by a former employee which alleged that Lamb's affair contradicted the Christian TV network's values.

. . .

Speaking on Daystar’s show Celebration, Joni narrated how the couple dealt with the ‘improper relationship’ backed up by her husband who interjected ‘praise the lord’ on several occasions.

. . .

He also said he took full responsibility for his sins, said he didn’t blame the devil and added he knew that God had forgiven him for his mistakes.
