He's in the hands of 900-foot tall Jesus, now.

Oral Roberts is dead of pneumonia after a fall, at age 91.

From the article:

In 1977, Roberts said he had a vision of a 900-foot-tall Jesus, who told him to found the City of Faith Medical and Research Center. The biography said the center was aimed at "merging the healing power of medicine and prayer."

In 1986, Roberts announced that God would "call him home" unless he raised $8 million to send medical missionaries from the center -- an announcement that was widely publicized. He wound up raising $9.1 million, but the center closed in 1989. However, the biography said, it left "a lasting impact on the understanding by many medical professionals of the importance of treating the whole person -- body, mind and spirit."

In addition, Roberts wrote more than 130 books, the biography said. "His book 'The Miracle of Seed Faith' has more than 8 million copies in circulation. This book's key principles -- God is your source, sow your seed out of your need, and expect a miracle harvest -- formed a fundamental part of Roberts' ministry and legacy," the biography said.

I remember when Oral Roberts made the claim that he would be "called home" if he didn't raise $8 million. He was falling short and the hour was growing close, when a millionaire benefactor made up the short-fall. I was beside myself. I had wanted to know what would happen if he didn't raise the quota. It was a terrible anti-climax. A cheat, even. Nothing would have done more for the cause of faith than for him to have not raised the money. And then promptly died.

Anyway, his faith healing and "sow a seed" nonsense were insanely successful for him. Broke people sent his ministry money in the belief that God would make them successful for it. After all, Roberts made out all right, didn't he? (Did he ever!)All those "seeds". Sowed in *his* backyard. And for many, many years, he was loved and respected as a man of God.

And that's all I'll say about that.
