Ron Baity, Baptist Preacher, Claims God Will Send Something Worse Than Ebola As Punishment For Gay Marriage

Ron Baity, Baptist Preacher, Claims God Will Send Something Worse Than Ebola As Punishment For Gay Marriage
A Baptist preacher says the biblical “End Times” are upon us thanks to a federal judge striking down a ban on gay marriage in North Carolina.

According to Ron Baity of the Berean Baptist Church in Winston-Salem, N.C., God is so angry over the decision that He’s about to send something even worse than Ebola.

“You think Ebola is bad now, just wait,” Baity warned during his sermon on Sunday.

Baity spoke of hearing an official bless a gay marriage, something he claimed was a direct violation of the Bible.

“If you think for one skinny minute, God is going to stand idly by and allow this to go forward without repercussions, you better back up and rethink this situation,” Baity said in remarks transcribed by Raw Story. “I want you to understand, that is raw, pure blasphemy.”

Baity also drew comparisons between gay marriage and Sodom and Gomorrah, the cities destroyed by God in biblical stories.

“My friend, we are meriting, we are bringing the judgement of God on this nation as sure as Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed, don’t be surprised at the plagues. Don’t be surprised at the judgement of God,” Baity said. “You think Ebola is bad now, just wait. If it’s not that, it’s going to be something else. My friends, I want you to understand, you can’t thumb your nose at God, and God turn his head away without God getting your attention.”

At times during the nearly hour-long sermon, members of his congregation can be heard shouting “Amen!” in the background.

Full audio of the sermon is available here.

Baity previously made headlines when he called for the prosecution of gays.

“For 300 years, we had laws that would prosecute that lifestyle,” Baity was quoted as saying in 2012. “We’ve gone down the wrong path. We’ve become so dumb that we have accepted a lie for the truth, and we’ve … discarded the truth on the shoals of shipwreck!”

He’s also on record comparing gay people to maggots, according to The Daily Beast.

The website reports that in 2012, Baity was given something called the “Watchmen Award,” ostensibly a pro-family honor, by the Family Research Council, a conservative Christian organization.

Good As You, a GLBT activism site, has posted a series of clips showing some of Baity’s most outrageous statements.
