Cleveland Heights, Ohio.
Cleveland Heights is the Greenwich Village of NE Ohio, so comments like this are par for the course.

Dude, I have a $1 million dollar home. It was $173,500.00 when I bought it and then real estate went through the roof - the house isn't that great and it befuddles me how much it's worth. I'll have you know that anyone in any metropolitan area in the country is chuckling at your comment as $1 million dollars for a home in most cities these days means you're living in the poor neighborhood.
Sorry to say, but a million bucks just doesn't go as far as it used to so I'm not impressed that this guy has a million dollar home because I do, too.
BTW, Thanks to Howard Jarvis & Proposition 13 I'm not paying taxes on the mil or I'd be homeless.
You signed up on FR just for that?

Unless I am mistaken, the biggest thing that Parsley is doing that really frosts the libs is that he is trying to register 400,000 new voters in Ohio. Guess which way they will be voting.
His book "Silent No More" hits all of the areas where traditional churches seem to be afraid to venture. He talks about the educational system, welfare, gay marriage, Islam, abortion, liberalism, racism etc. It's an AWESOME book! Every Christian who is tired of the PC junk should read this book.
Heretic Hunters are coming out for this thread!
Do you also have your own corporate jet? How about a private guard force? No? Well Rod does.
BTW, I live not five miles from his house. In NYC or SF it would be worth $8-10 million, conservatively.
I love this quote.
When I visited his church they didn't charge to park. It was an awesome service. His ministry has truly grown and it does a lot for the local community there. If I lived there my kids would attend the school this church operates.
How is he putting himself out as the face of Christianity ?
Aren't Christians allowed to have many faces, one of which might be his ? He's not claiming to be the one and only interpretation in the article.
Although I am not a follower of his, I've seen his show occassionally on TBN, and he seems pretty regular. I've never seen anything to suggest that he's a false prophet or a heretic.
Do you have specific examples of heretical statements he's made; or is just appearing on TBN that earns that characterization from you ?
I agree with you about the TBN crowd, I don't know what he is doing on that channel, he's different. His stand against the queers, the Islamonutbags, and the libertine liberals (as per another poster) puts him head and shoulders above the TBN wimpy wacky preachers.
He is a voice from an earlier day in America, in my opinion. I can remember the time when there were many preachers like him in America. Too many today are too concerned with being politcally correct to speak out against the issues. There are things that I don't agree with him - as other posters have pointed out - but I say bravo for his lone voice, David -like stand against Goliath.
He's the one that was in my dream with Rev. Al Sharpton. Only thing is, when I wrote the song I thought his name was Ron LOL!! Boy! Did I mess up LOL!!
I dreamed I went to an old fashioned revival.....
Rod Parsley and Rev. Al Sharpton had called us all out to pray......
"God's Amazing Grace"
According to what I've read he is involved in the "Latter Rain" heresy as well as the Word of Faith movement. If you do a search on him I'm sure you'll find plenty of information about his "teachings".
I don't watch TBN because of it's line up of false prophets and faulty teachers. On the other hand, they have put on the likes of Ray Comfort, who teaches truth, but it's far more the exception than the rule.
And, women with pink hair and too much make-up.
I always felt sorry for her...I figured it must have been a terrible factory accident that caused that hair color.
I once saw him in the middle of screaming err I mean preaching, race toward the front bench or pew, jump up on it and race across it all the while hooting and hollering.
People were tryin to stand up and get their butts outta the pew before he trampled them. LOL
Bash this guy all you want but without him Kerry would be in the White House.
This really is sad. Like Shaker Heights, it's a lovely area. But Cleveland Heights is... different.
I remember quite clearly back in the mid-80s seeing a light-skinned black dude at an RTA bus stop in CH. This dude was wearing a shiny purple raincoat, even though it was a clear and sunny day.
I later came to realize that that was the norm for CH, and this "pastor's" remarks are not shocking at all. He's right at home.
