Disgraced Pastor Johnny Hunt Tearing Up The Preaching Circuit
Former SBC president and current ‘pastor’ Johnny Hunt has been preaching at so many churches and events lately that you’d almost forget he is completely disqualified from the ministry after being recently outed as having engaged in what he describes as a “brief, consensual extramarital encounter,” and what the woman involved maintains was non-consensual sexual assault.
Still, having no shame, he was quickly restored to ministry by friends and has been shockingly active.
In particular, Hunt has ramped up his speaking engagements over the past four months, crisscrossing the country to speak at more minor services as well as more than a few multi-day conferences.
To punctuate how delusional and unfit Hunt is, it was only a few weeks ago that, using theological arguments so bad that he should be disqualified from the ministry on this basis alone, he filed a lawsuit against the SBC, arguing that publicly exposing his indiscretions caused him substantial reputation and economic harm, as well as “personal harm and anguish.”
Hunt argued that his sins were a private moral failing that should have been kept confidential, with his memorandum claiming that “He was merely a private citizen whose marital fidelity was nobody else’s business.” Hunt’s view that his sins as a pastor should be private and not publicly disqualifying is as idiotic as it is unbiblical and makes no sense in light of the scriptural imperatives regarding church discipline and qualifications for an elder.
Talk about finishing poorly.
