Went to Several of his Tent Meetings as a child in the 50’s.

A great con man and thief; not much else.

My great grandmother was dying of ovarian cancer.
My great grandfather took her to see Oral Roberts. Oral Roberts laid his hands upon her, and when she didn’t jump right up and dance a jig and go back to work; my great grandfather decided she was “of the devil” and left her to die without comfort.

Oral Roberts was a charlatan. Woe to those who believe in false prophets.

I am sorry he died. I thought he was already gone.

[DeweyCA]

Didn’t he have enough faith that God would heal him this time?

[MSF BU]

“Greater is he...”, heard it every Sunday for four years, he came on right after Jerry Falwell and before Garner Ted Armstrong.

Sad news. He was a truly good man. May he rest in peace.

[glock rocks]

Whatever else aside, he brought folks to God.

Rest in His peace Oral Roberts.

He was the godfather of the prosperity gospel movement

When I first saw that I thought it read "He was the goldfinger of the prosperity gospel movement."

Back in the 80s the roof blew off a dorm at his university. He got right on the air begging for funds to repair the roof and keep the young students sheltered. I wondered why he didn’t have insurance.

RIP Mr. Roberts, you did a lot of good on this planet.

I was just a kid in his heyday but I couldn’t figure out how’s come those guys who claimed to heal others mostly wore glasses???? Couldn’t they heal their own eyes? Made me wonder....

[Niuhuru]

What was it?

So true

He probably did but couldn't pass up on a golden opportunity to swell the coffers some more.

Watch for the passing of two great Generals: Billy Graham and Oral Roberts.

Not exactly sticking your neck out in the prophesy department to predict the deaths of two nonagenarians known to be in frail health, is it?

As it is, it looks as though he couldn't even get that right. Only two more weeks to go and Billy Graham is still alive and kicking.
