“Did Crouch mention to him that if he had enough faith, he wouldn’t have been captured or tortured?”


What does that mean?

Just tell me what you meant by it.

Do you have any degree of familiarity with the Word of Faith/Prosperity movement? Crouch’s TBN has been the major vehicle for propagating the teaching.

Basically, it all boils down to: God wants you to be healthy and wealthy and live a pain free life. Any degree of suffering is a result of a lack of faith (”faith” being a substance that we can control by speaking positively).
