Evangelist Bentley stepping down
Allie Martin - OneNewsNow - 8/19/2008 11:05:00 AM

Todd Bentley will step down as head of Fresh Fire Ministries, after the ministry revealed he had an "unhealthy relationship" with a female staffer. That announcement comes one week after Bentley's ministry announced he and his wife were separating.

The announcement from the board of directors acknowledged that Bentley had an "unhealthy relationship" on an emotional level with the female staff member. Bentley is best known for leading a series of public meetings in Florida since April that have attracted around 300,000 people to churches and a baseball stadium.

The Canadian evangelist will also cease all public meetings, including a 38-city stadium tour of U.S. cities.

Grady also pointed out that Bentley had serious credibility issues from the beginning of the meetings, claiming to have talked to an angel in his hotel room, and bragging about tackling a man and knocking his tooth out during prayer.

8. It's always dangerous to assign a date for Jebus to return
or the world to end or any other type of Apocalyptic nonsense.

The world always manages to go on and you end up with egg all over your face.

Well, unless you're Daddy Grace and you time the end of the world to your own death.
