JOSH Duggar’s aunt Deanna shared a cryptic post about “sinners” being “thrown into the sea”.

Deanna – who is Jim Bob‘s sister – posted the Bible extract days after Josh’s arrest on child porn charges.

She shared a quote that read: “Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were put around his neck and he were thrown into the sea.”

Deanna captioned the quote – which was accompanied by a sketch of a little girl on a swing – “This is what my Bible says!!!”

Her daughter Amy replied: “AMEN.”

Deanna added in the comments: “Hey I am just quoting what the Bible says! God Almighty says this is very, very serious!!!”

“No I don’t want anyone to die! But I do want the Truth to be revealed!!!!”

Josh, 33, was arrested last Thursday over allegations that he downloaded material that depicted the sexual abuse of children under the age of 12.

He pleaded not guilty to one count of receipt of child pornography and one of possession of child pornography. 

The former reality star faces 20 years in prison and fines of up to $250,000 if convicted.

According to the indictment, Josh “knowingly received child pornography” between or about May 14, 2019 and on or about May 16, 2019.

For the second count, Josh “knowingly possessed material that contained images of child pornography,” including “images of minors under the age of 12.”

Josh has been ordered to forfeit all visual images and property, including video equipment, related to the case.

Hours before Josh’s arrest, Deanna’s daughter Amy wrote “a tornado” was coming” in a cryptic post.

She tweeted on Wednesday night: “I had a dream last night that it was a beautiful sunny normal day and then all of a sudden the sky went black and there was a huge tornado that appeared on the highway close by and was destroying everything in its path.

“It felt so real.. Hmm.”

The Counting On star also seemingly gave Anna, Josh’s wife, a shoutout with another cryptic post as she wrote: “Shout out to those who are solo parenting.”

“You are amazing and you do SO much and one day for kids will see all the sacrifice and will love you even more for it.

“I just felt like someone needed to read this tonight… Stay strong.”

The arrest could not come at a worse time for Anna, who is pregnant with the couple’s seventh child.

Anna, 32, and the Duggar family previously stood by Josh through his disturbing sex abuse scandal in 2015.

That year, Jill and her sister Jessa came forward as two of the five girls that Josh molested as a teenager in the early 2000s.

In Touch Weekly uncovered a 33-page Arkansas police report claiming Jim Bob confessed to police that his eldest son fondled the breasts and genitals of young girls while they were asleep in the Duggar home in 2002.

Following the allegations, Josh said: “Twelve years ago, as a young teenager, I acted inexcusably for which I am extremely sorry and deeply regret. I hurt others, including my family and close friends.”
