I would first like to say that this claim is absolutely ridiculous. One thing that I do know is that if you are doing anything for the Kingdom of God there will always be accusers. Many people will try and destroy your reputation simply because you represent Christ. I am actually astonished at how much attention the article has even gotten. I don't know much about Pastor Steven Furtick but what I do know from watching his videos is that he speaks a message that is unpopular to many people who want a reason or an excuse to turn away from Christ.
Below is a video that you will find of Pastor Furtick himself addressing the accusations. Check your sources people.... Feel free to leave your thoughts and comments below
