Professor Says God Did Not Get Mary’s Consent

by Todd Starnes: A professor at Minnesota State University, Mankato has accused Almighty God of sexually assaulting Mary.

“The virgin birth is about an all-knowing, all-powerful deity impregnating a human teen,” Dr. Eric Sprankle wrote on Twitter. “There is no definition of consent that would include that scenario. Happy Holidays.

Sprankle, who teaches psychology at the taxpayer-funded school, is also a sex therapist. Clearly, he is not a theologian.

“Dr. Sprankle’s comments are nothing but blasphemous babble from a liberal who is completely ignorant of the Bible,” Dr. Robert Jeffress told Starnes Country.

Jeffress, the pastor of First Baptist Church in Dallas and a Fox News contributor, said the Gospel of Luke records Mary’s hymn of praise thanking God for choosing her to give birth to the Messiah.

“Furthermore, a sovereign God doesn’t need ‘consent’ from any of us for anything He chooses to do,” Jeffress said.

The renowned pastor warned that the professor “had better pray that there is no God because if there is, his goose is cooked on Judgement Day.”

Dr. Emir Caner, the president of Truett McConnell University, said he was not terribly surprised by Sprankle’s offensive comments.

“It comes as no surprise that a radical leftist professor with little knowledge of the Scripture would make such an imbecilic statement,” he told Starnes Country. “Welcome to the modern university system, where statements easily demonstrated as false are now mainstream.”
