An end-times pastor who blamed premarital sex for the coronavirus has died from the coronavirus.

The 75-year-old Irvin Baxter was hospitalized last week with complications from a COVID-19 infection, and his ministry announced with “deep grief” that the pastor had died Tuesday, reported Friendly Atheist.

“Though, we find comfort in knowing that he has without a doubt entered his great reward,” the ministry said in a statement.


“Irvin was hospitalized last week with COVID-19,” the statement added. “Since then, a vast network of churches and ministries, have been in almost constant prayer for him. The team at Endtime wants you to know that we appreciate your prayers and support through this season.”


The Pentecostal minister founded Endtime Ministries in 1991, and hosted the “Politics and Religion” talk show for National Prophecy radio, where he praised President Donald Trump for possibly hastening the biblical apocalypse.

11. So, he finally got his "end time". Perfect. Since that's what he was selling.

No pity. I hope his family and followers wake the hell up.

Or did he just blame the existence of the virus on fornication? His wife has it too, although she is still at home.

This is so incredibly sad. How many dead ministers does it take to convince people to practice physical distancing and wear a mask?
