By Christian Research Network contributor Justin Edwards of airō This is a repost of an original article on airo: God created man in His own image (Genesis 1:26-27, 5:1, 9:6).

In Steven Furtick Grows In Stature And Closer To Word Faith Movement here at Apprising Ministries I reminded you of that prophet-leader’s affinity for Rod Parsley, an obviously over-the-top WF snake oil salesman.
