Pastor Raphael Warnock is facing off against Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler in one of Georgia’s January runoff elections.

The Peach State’s two U.S. Senate elections will decide the balance of power in the Legislative Branch’s upper chamber, and the distinction between the candidates couldn’t be more apparent. Yet somehow, newly unearthed reports prove Warnock is even more extreme than we realized.

Footage from 2011 shows Warnock proclaiming, “You can’t serve God and money. You cannot serve God and mammon at the same time. America, choose ye this day who you will serve. Choose ye this day:”

RedState reports how more than a few Christians were eager to respond:

According to the Daily Wire, Warnock’s campaign swooped in for damage control and said that Warnock was referencing a Bible verse about serving two masters.

“This sermon is based on a biblical verse that reads ‘No man can serve two masters… Ye cannot serve God and mammon,’ a biblical term for wealth,” Terrence Clark, communications director for the Warnock campaign, told Fox News. “Reverend Warnock was speaking about the need to commit to moral life before pursuing other priorities. As the video of the congregation’s response makes clear, this is another blatant effort by Kelly Loeffler to take Reverend Warnock’s words completely out of context. Given her own decision to spend her first days in the U.S. Senate profiting off the pandemic, perhaps she should watch the sermon more closely.”

As usual, the left has only focused on one aspect of a verse in order to mold it to their world view. However, as the Daily Wire pointed out, the National Review’s Dan McLaughlin corrected the assumption by posting another Bible verse that shows what the Bible says about military service.

Other Twitter users acquainted with the Bible weighed in.

  1. This guy is another reason not to vote for a Democrat. He supports those that believe White people are all evil and should be eliminated. Don’t understand how Georgians would even consider him since I once lived there and know they have better values than he does.

    1. If he did, he would not accept the definition. By REDEFINING words they make up their own theology. And that is why I can say that GOD HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HIM, until he comes to judgement.

  2. This “man” Warnock professes to be a ‘man of God’ but he is nothing but a Wolf in sheep’s clothing! He has fleeced the sheep of their money and lied to them from the pulpit. Now he expects to fleece those outside of the church as he did to those within the body of believers. He’s a liar and a thief and the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is going to expose him for what he really is.

  3. This guy Warnock should be laughed out of the county, I am of Native/Christian (read native and Quaker) upbringing, I served, My father was of Native/Christian (read native and Quaker) upbringing, held a silver, a bronze, a soldiers and Sailors medal, the Navy cross, three purple hearts, a distinguished service medal, and an airmans medal, also Alvin C. York was a strict Christian and used the scriptures to decide when to Utilize Violence ” Render unto Cesar that which is Due Cesar and unto the lord that which is due the lord “

  4. If you believe Black people in Georgia are repressed….all you have to do is listen to Rev Warnock, and you’ll see that his beliefs are the cause. He’s a classic example of placing blame on others when what you need to be doing is everything you can to accept responsibility for your own life, and do everything you can to improve yourself, and stop pretending that nothing is ever your fault.

  5. After this election if you went to Webster’s Dictionary and looked up Cow Manure it would say: Dung, cow pie, cow s—t, poopie, Democrat, Bowel Movement, Scat, and on and on.

  6. As military personnel serve the federal government and so can’t be Christians in his opinion, then how can a person serve the federal government as a senator and be considered a Christian?

    1. You mean so-called democRAT senator serving in the federal government, who are AGAINST ANYTHING GOD/CHRISTIANITY….!!!!

  7. God said to protect the downtroden the helpless and the poor, he sent soldiers to fight and die to free the slaves and indentured servants. He did not delineate, so my ancestors died at Antitum, Shileo, and other places to do “unto the least of Mine”. Moses gathered together the men of Israel put them to battle. God didnot invent War but gave us the werewithall to protect and defend ourselves and our neighbors. The reverand should be thanking God for those souls who do Gods will.

  8. So I will assume the Pastor is against abortion then too since he is following the Bible for all his guidance, right? Does the Democrat Party support the outlaw of abortion because I am not sure what part of the Bible Pastor Warnock is going to justify those policies. Does the Bible say defund the police or to defend yourself against evil? I think if we actually followed the Bible we would be in much better shape today than we are at present.

  9. Then you should not run since you cannot serve God and the people of Georgia. I’m sure want everything that your fellow Democratic idiots want is to sell the USA out to the rest of the world.

  10. So, then late REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT Abraham Lincoln was a VERY BAD man who wrote the Emancipation PROCLAMATION to FREE the Slaves and was VERY Religious, especially back in those days, and had to go to WAR with the Southern States to get the Slaves to the FREEDOM that they also wanted….??????

  11. what more reason do you need to not support him than the fact he worked with and like the preacher that preach hate and ask his god to dam America remember the man and now he’s wanting to keep this mans hate going claiming to be a preacher and working for the people after he has said you cannot worship God and serve in the military that’s is the same thing he’s trying to do the best thing that can happen here is the people send him packing from the Gov. and the Church he is destroying

  12. God has nothing to do with this vile, evil man. I bet that he can’t even tell you what is the KEY VERSE OF THE ENTIRE BIBLE.

  13. WATNOPCK IS NO MAN OF THE CLOTH! HE IS ANOTHER ONE OF THE FAKE PREACHERS ” JESUS WARNED US ABOUT “! JUST ANOTHER MARXIST IN RELIGOUS SUIT, AND A PHONY SUIT AS WELL!

  14. In WW I the war to end all wars there was a soldier named Alvin York who was a conscious objector because of religious reasons. He was awarded the Medal of Honor for killing enemy soldiers and saving his own American soldiers.

  15. This coming from a man that has been arrested for interfering in child abuse case and a man that abused his wife. It also says in the BIBLE not to listen to people that do not speak the truth. In a very large part that is the Dem. Party. Warnock is an embarrassment to the entire Dem Party, and the AMERICAN PEOPLE.

  16. Read the Bible. God was always interested in his soldiers. He was always on their side the ones who believed in Him. Glory. We have Soldiers. Glory.

  17. Does he get paid for preaching? Does he preach to serve God or for the money? He wants to be elected to the United States Senate. Is it to serve his follow citizens or for the money? If elected would he then have two masters?
    The government is not my master! I served in the Army for twenty-six years but it was never my master! I never had a conflict of conscience, loyalty, or duty. If elected will his loyalty be to the American people or marxist democrat party?

  18. If the reverend is relying on the passage that says that you can’t serve two masters (taken out of context— the Bible was speaking about worshiping money), then he should withdraw from the election. Clearly, he can’t serve God and the people of Georgia.

  19. This pastor is an idiot. He does not know the Lord, he does not walk with God….He is a wolf in sheep’s clothing and is the devil in disguise.

  20. I think Soldiers, Warriors can serve God. I am pretty certain though we can’t serve God and an abortionist agenda at the same time. Get your feces together, pastor man.

  21. Okay, first it was Ilan Omar who quoted “Mathews” 15:7 wrongly misinterpreting the chapter. Now we have a person who claims to be a Christian minister using the same passage and again reading into the word go God what is not there. This tells me people should be leaving this guys church, he is not of God he is a tool of Satan. Sorry folks. That’s the way it is.
