We reported on the grand opening of the Morris Cerullo Legacy International Center on Saturday, mostly because it has a design that looks like a dollar sign … Read more

Charismatics Spread False Rumor that Chuck Pierce Prophesied Coronavirus (He Did Not)

Steven Strang over at Charisma Mag – who has posted more false prophecy relating to coronavirus than Wuhan has sick-beds – claimed today that “prophet” Chuck Pierce prophesied the coming of coronavirus.

Coronavirus is God’s Plague Upon Charismatics

Upon the top of Mt. Carmel in the 9th Century B.C., Elijah stared down the prophets of Ba’al and Ashera. They promised to be able to get their gods to move by decreeing and declaring positive confessions of their power. They beat their chests and screamed into the heavens.

Rodney Howard Brown Says Coronavirus a Sinister Plot to Kill People With Vaccines

As we have been chronicling at Pulpit & Pen religiously (no pun intended), charismatic prophets are going to get people killed with their crack-pottery.

Well, we continue in our marathon of posts about crazy things charismatics have said about coronavirus this week. And we come to Charisma’s Robert Henderson. But for the record, Bethel’s affiliated pastor, Shawn Bolz, declared a prophecy that God had ended the virus. Perhaps Bethel didn’t get the memo. Rodney Howard Browne promised to bind coronavirus from the … Read more

Charlatan Televangelist Pretends to Heal Coronavirus Through TV

As the spread of Coronavirus fuels fear of a global pandemic, governments and civic organizations are taking major steps to limit the spread of sickness. Schools are closing. Major League Baseball cancelled Spring Training and delayed its opening day. The NBA has suspended its season and the NCAA followed suit by taking the unprecedented step … Read more

Shawn Bolz Prophesied Coronavirus is Over. Immediately, the First Patient Died in the U.S.

Charismatics are really good at prophesying. Falsely. Benny Hinn claims to have healed whole hospitals (he was also admitted to one for being sick a while back). Todd Bentley claims to have raised the dead. Kenneth Copeland claims to have made the blind sea and Gloria Copeland promised Christians wouldn’t get the flu last year. Yesterday we … Read more
