"They were under the heel of the French ... and they got together and swore a pact to the devil. They said, 'We will serve you, if you get us free from the French.' True story."
So the devil agreed, and the Haitians revolted and kicked the French out, the host of The 700 Club and founder of CBN went on, adding: "But ever since, they have been cursed by one thing after the other." |
So sad, when the unseen World is used to manipulate people. How can people question that or prove its worth? They can't, and that's the problem.
This is an age old tactic to put false fear into the hearts of people, and you're right, Non-Christians see this as abuse.
What's also troubling about this, is this creates a greater lack of trust in the many Christians who've come out of abusive churches.
