I did. A few times. BC always seemed alright by me. No extravagant claims that I ever witnessed. No inflated or unreasonably large numbers were claimed. Of course, that does leave out all of the Ethiopian stuff. I was not there.

From what I have seen of him in this hemisphere, however, I'd have to say that he probably was very dependent upon the "local help" in collating numbers and such. If that was the case in Ethiopia, then I can see how those numbers ended up being so inflated. That Oneness movement over there, the folks who would eventually peal off the UPCI over the "Divine Flesh" issue, often made huge unsubstantiated claims - and still do at times.

If I were to blame BC for anything related to that, it would be due to his naïveté and always wanting to see the best in people and in any circumstance. That puts him in a far, far different category than a flagrant fraud like Benny Hinn, imho.

I was going to go with the "Wait for it" comment but hometown guy got in with the slur before I could.

thank you hometown guy for doing the dirty work for the minons of hate!

Well...I must live in La La Land, because I personally have never heard anything negative about this mans ministry...in fact, until any of us puts in a third of the energy, commitment, and sacrifice as he and his family did for the work of God - we have no business slandering him or being critical.

Just my two cents..

There arent many men alive or dead who gave more to the cause of Christ than Brother Cole. He was a great man that I was blessed to meet and be impacted by.

When he would come thru our town, he would often come to my mom and dads house to eat. Those times as a small kid, sitting around the dinner table with him are treasured memories for me.

This is very awesome and I'm envious. I would be honored to have any man of God to eat under my roof and speak to me about the good things of God. To be honest, I would feel entirely unworthy of it.

Hometown - did you know BC?

I have heard 'certain men' laugh at BC and his results..however not one person that I have heard belittle him has had the results he had during his life time. Wish I could at least measure up to his heels...
