But not Oral Roberts. He died at the age of 91.

I guess God finally followed through with that threat.

Ouch

Everyone I know had the same response today when the news was said: "I thought he died years ago."

I know the statement of his that you are referring to, but I hope I stay healthy enough to make it to 91.

"Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world"

I always got Oral Roberts & Rex Humbard mixed up.

I thought it was Falwell who made the "God's extorting me" comment.

Falwell, Swaggart, Roberts.... none of them can hold a candle the REAL Evangelist: Fundamentally Oral Bill

BTW, Penguin Lust is still the root of all evil!

"I thought it was Falwell who made the "God's extorting me" comment."

God told Oral that he'd call him home if he bonked a 1987 fundraiser:

I had thought it was the 900-foot Jesus who said this, but apparently Jesus is more lax in collections and only wanted Oral to build an unneeded hospital. Dad laid down the law.
