Dollar, who bonded out of Fayette County jail shortly after being arrested for allegedly assaulting his 15-year old daughter told reporters this morning that he had no comment for his congregation, but he did admit he disagrees with the arrest.
“I discipline my kid. Love ‘em,” Dollar said as he was leaving jail Friday morning.
[RAW VIDEO: Creflo Dollar Bonds Out Of Jail]
Dollar has now issued an official statement regarding the incident.
Here’s what Creflo Dollar wants you to know about the incident that he was arrested for this morning…
As a father I love my children and I always have their best interest at heart at all times, and I would never use my hand to ever cause bodily harm to my children.
The facts in this case will be handled privately to further protect my children. My family thanks you for your prayers and continued support.
Nikki G. Bonner, the attorney for the mega-church pastor adds that Dollar “will make no further comments as this is an ongoing criminal matter.”
A witness told authorities that Dollar grabbed the 15 year old girl around her throat and choked her causing a scratch on her neck, according to Fayette County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Lt. Brent Rowan.
Deputies said Dollar’s 19-year-old daughter corroborated the story.
Parents have every right to discipline their kids, but do you think Dollar may have gone too far?

![Boo’d Up: Ludacris Throws ‘Fab’ Birthday Bash For Eudoxie… [PHOTOS]](http://cdn.straightfromthea.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Ludcris-FAB-Birthday-Party-10-520x547.jpg)











I bet Mr. Dollar’s daughter (little Dollar) doesn’t mind when the family vacations go "too far". I bet Little Dollar’s christmas wishlist goes "too far". I imagine Little Dollar’s birthday parties go "too far". So to give balance, he may have gone "too far".
Extreme opportunities have created an extreme beastly child. He had to go in extreme beast-mode. O well.
They’re gonna have to get an all white jury that only believes in "time-out" as punishment. There’s not a black parent around who would see this as abuse. If he was choking his daughter she’d have much more than a scratch on her neck. I don’t believe this was child abuse and I will be praying for him and his family.
The problem with alot of people they intimidated by there kids.He should not have went 2 jail. See they wanna put things on tv and talk about abuse. But the ones that are abusing there kids where are the cops then? I let my son know I brought u in and I will take u out. And im willing 2 go 2 jail.When I get out imma be like a bat outta hell and im gonna get that butt again but it will be worser. He need to put his foot in her butt really well teach her keep da police out. ESPECIALLY WHEN UR IN THE WRONG…..
Spare the rod, spoil the child
No he did not go to far. I would like to ask this what is the world coming to when you get into trouble for disciplining your own kid.
We need more parents to stand up and not be scared of parenting their children like Mr. Dollar did, he probably told her fast ass to “call the police, hell I’ll call them for you!!!” No he did not go to far!!
no he didn’t go far enough
No he did not go 2 far if she cant abide by his rules then she needs 2 get the hell outta his house and when that lil heffer called the police her bags woulda been packed so she could leave with them and its sad that its gotten 2 the point where u cant 2 much discipline ur kids they say its wrong 4 us 2 discipline our children but when they get locked up the guards beat the shit outta them if they feel they have the right 2 discipline my child then y n the hell cant I
Jesus woulda done different. No wonder the world is so fucked up.
There is 2 sides of the story, I do not find him guilty because when I was fifth teen, my mother did the same 2 me. I sworn I was grown and the same time got knock out. I am glad my mother did what she did cause as of 2 day I would have not existed.
Nope he didn’t go far at all you can’t let your kids walk over you and best believe once he got out of jail I would of came with a round two: take all of her electronics, her car if she has one, and will be grounded indefinitely. Since she think she can strip him of his right, I’ll show her who is the boss and take away all that materialistic stuff
They get locked up just the same.
Had he not disciplined her and she went out and got into trouble, the world would be asking WHERE ARE THE PARENTS?
He did the right thing, and if I were him I’d beat her butt again for calling the PoPo. If a child gets out of line a parent should have the right to TWO PIECE their a** without authorities getting involved.
No he didn’t we need more parents to stand up he did the right thing
A grown man should NOT punch a chick…ever. Especially his daughter…
I guess that means you go for the prescribed response that God gave Moses?
He should have spit in her face and she should have borne her shame seven days?
BTW, where did you hear he punched her and what Scripture are you referencing? Or do you simply make up your own rules as you go along?
…let him talk his way outta this shit!
I guess you’re more of fan of Tupac than Creflo, huh?
I don’t think he went too far. She was left with a scratch. She is not grown and she is a preacher’s kid. I’m sure her tail got out of line because she wanted to go party and needed to be yanked! Of course, I’m sure the media and daughter made things sound much worse that it really was…
To the people who are against Dollar disciplining his kid. You must be parents who let their child walk all over you.
Or blaspheming pagans who love the opportunity to mock Christians and preachers.
This man should not have been arrested!
Mr. Dollar’s 15-year old daughter will soon realize that she has put her entire family life-style at risk. I can not imagine why the mother of this teenager would allow such disrespectful behavior. As a First lady she failed her job as a mother by not sitting her daughter down and explaining the reasons why her request to go to a party was being denied. Surely Mrs. Dollar (as a mother) is the blame for not teaching her daughter to respect her father’s decision. But it appears that Mrs. Dollar "pass the buck" when question by her daughter about going to a party by directing her daughter to Mr. Dollar for approval.
This type of publicity not only hurts the parties involved but Mr. Dollars entire ministry.
I’m praying for Mr. Dollar and his family.
So um to this I say..He just had a "wreck"..But thank Gawd for insurance..(Isaysarcastically)
Yeah, there ya’ go. You’re the one I just referenced. There are no mirrors in your glass house, huh?
@gary sellars- ladye doesn’t have to be a blaspheming pagan to make light of the irony in this situation. It also doesn’t mean that ladye is oblivious to problems/issues in his or her own life. In his "rant" of support for that other so called preacher/reverend/prophet he rode a might high horse to a mighty high mountain. He challenged his congregation to leave the flock should he also "have a wreck". This… is a wreck. It will pass. in the black community it’s really no big deal to yank a child up when they step out of line. However, that other pastor did not "have a wreck". He had a full out catastrophic, earth-shaking f-ck up the likes of which the black cummunity is NOT so willing forgive or forget. It will not pass. This issue is that Dollar made light of this other dudes’ f-ck. He was judgemental, dismissive and showed no compassion to the christians in that congregation. None of which are charactistics of any MAN claming to be able to take you heaven. What he should have said was, "This whole situation is f-ck up but xxx is a friend of mine. I am choosing at this time to pray for my firend, his family and that congregation… and I would greatly appreciate it if you keep them in your prayers as well."
Heck those of us older than 50, all of our parents would have went to jail…lol
They bEAT our behinds!
There are 3 sides to this story. His, hers, and the truth. If he disciplined her that’s one thing, but if he actually choked her that’s assault and his ass should have gone to jail.
Says who? You? Every law on the books is right and justified?
I just hope documents are shown of offense because I’d really like to know what this dudes REAL name is. Creflo is f**ked,but DOLLAE? I guess tat serves it’s purpose though cause e’s certainly collecting them. Also there’s two sides to every story. Until I hear "lil" Dolla’s side I’m on her side. You never know WHAT goes on behind these freaky azz preacher’s doors and I ope "lil" Dolla will have a chance to say. She has no choice but to live there,she’s a 15 year old minor.
Well, I’m hoping someone will expose your hypocrisy.
so are people really saying as a Christian pastor he could not have handled his daughter in a different manner, spare the rod is a metaphor for discipline not putting your hands on anyone.
HE DID RIGHT
…..Not from what I can tell! Teenagers, especially privileged ones, can feel a sense of entitlement and ownership in the family fortunes and wealth. From what I have heard I can expect to have my day in jail too! #isupportcrefloonthisone
leave Creflo alone , He is definitely a man of God and He knows the Lord so be careful what you say about him, He has revealed much truth to me and something good will come of all of this. Love ya Creflo.
I think people criticizing him about this is out of line and none of their business, but Creflo screwed up ROYALLY about Eddie Long and needs to repent and apologize for his unscriptural and terrible advice
And you should learn to believe your Bible without a go-between.
This incedent is just the workings of the adversary and his "plan" to undermine Pastor Dollar’s home. When I was 15 years old, my mother put her foot up my behind so hard, I was spitting shoe laces AND shoe soles! Pastor Dollar’s daughter called the police out of anger and fear honestly because she probably saw a side of her father that scared her…and it should, right? I do not condone abuse, but I do condone discipline. If this man allowed this GIRL to disrespect his house, she would become a little runt. Instead, he put his foot down(literally) and disciplined her.
When African American men take position of being real fathers, they’re criticized. When they take position of low-lifes, they’re praised..jmo. Either way, I am still a fan of Crefflo Dollars and I prayfully wish him and his family well.
Some of you are truly sad. IF he is CHOKING his kid and throwing shoes at her, thats not discipline THATS ASSAULT!! GTFO. No kid (and yet no person) deserves that. Its 2012. I dont care what parents did back in the day, its a new era and you cant do that. Point blank period.
choking is way too far! That’s not discipline. I have kids and I would never choke them. As a child I wad never choked. That’s where he lost me. Whoopings are one thing, choking is crazy. He needs therapy and she needs boot camp.
I really don’t know what’s wrong with Yall. It is not ok for a grown man to choke a 15 year old. This os hats wrong with the black community. There are other ways to discipline a teenager. And we wonder why violence is perpetuated in black communities. I’m ashamed by these comments.
As a former know it all fifteen year old girl who is now the mother of 6 girls…3 who are, or have already been 15 and 3 more who have to go through that stage, I sympathize with Rev Dollar. I got yoked up by my momma ONCE and have had to yoke up two of the three who have made it through fifteen already…I did not do it to cause seriously hurt them but to let them know..hey you run up on me you will get knocked flat on your azz and then I will hug you & kiss you and tell you I love you. Cause that is the undetrlying theme is that I love you enough to check you when you get out of line. My mom and I are best friends and I realized she did it with my best interests at heart.
Holy crap!! Will you wise up, ignorant fools??? A 200 lb., 40-something year old man is not ‘disciplining his child ‘ when he is arrested for choking and beating her. (There was a witness)!!! That is violence and abuse, plain and simple. Kids act out…they rebel…they defy. Corporal punishment is one thing, (and I am opposed.) Choking and beating your child is against the law, and completely immoral. This man, pastor $, is a crook and a fraud. And now we can add child abuser to his list of titles.
After reading through the first 20 posts I’m so glad Mimsy and those who followed spoke the truth. Just because your parents burned you with cigarettes, body slammed you across the room, and put you in a full nelson before bedtime doesn’t make it right. Consider yourself a survivor. Justification of Creflo’s behavior is a serious sign of denial in whats been going in the black family for years……excessive abuse camouflouged as tender loving care. For the record not every family uses violence to correct a child. My mama whipped the mess out of me when I acted a fool but she would cut a ninja real quick if my daddy even thought about putting his hands on us. Black folks result to excessive punishment because thats all we know and thats how we were treated for 300 years. The times have changed but the mentality is the same. We beat people in order to have a desired effect. The bible does say spare the rod spoil the child but it doesn’t say use the rod to beat their brains out. Creflo industries is a million dollar empire. Has anyone stopped to think that most of the mighty men of God have fallen. Could his fall soon be on the way. Isn’t this the man who told people they weren’t wanted at his church and to go back to Bishop Longstrokes?? God doesn’t like ugly……so everyone say it with me….."What’s done in the dark, will come to the light." #amen
He’s the father of a teenage girl. I can only imagine what kind of stunts she’s been try a pull… If you love your children you will discipline them! I had a cousin that went to school showing her whelps from getting a spanking with a switch. The teacher called social services on her parents. Boy when she got home she got it twice as bad! You never heard of children doing such atrocious things on the regular until white people started this time out business… Oh yeah and this ADD business the drug companies started…
In response to TW, she is 15 the parents shouldnt have to explain sh*t to her. Explain this a** whippin
When I was a teen I was slapped, hit with brooms & wires, hit with a belt, but never choked. I’m all for discipline, without it I would of been a crazy teen, but choking? I dunno, gonna have to wait and see what develops before I make a decision…
He needs to put her in military school, away from home. I bet she’d get her act together then. Question: Why didn’t Taffi (mother) step in? This proves that this is not the first time this child has gotten out of hand, it just proves this time she took it too far.
I would say these words to Rev. Creflo Dollar remember JOB what happen to him when God lifted the protection from around him ever thing happened, SO KEEP THE FAITH STAY PRAYED UP AND THE STRONG HAND OF OUR LORD GOD JESUS CHRIST ON YOUR SIDE I KNOW U WILL COME THROUGH THIS THING WITH FLYIN COLORS REMEMBER U GOT SOMETHING OR SHOULD ISAY SOME 1 ON YR SIDE 24/7. HE’S,A LAWYER IN THE COURTROOM AND A JUDGE, BECAUSE WE SHOULD KNOW THAT MAN CAN ONLY JUDGE MAN BUT END THE END GOD HAS THE LAST SAY, SO AND WORD SO HANG IN THERE( BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS GOING TO B ALRIGHT).AS LONG AS U HAVE GOD ON YR SIDE AN BY YR SIDE,U R BLESSED AND HIGHLY FAVORED. MY PRAYERS R WITH U AS WELL AS EVERY 1 IS PRAYING FOR YOU. STAY BLESSED I. FRED L. PRAYING FOR U.
I think he was in the wrong. A man should never put his hands on a woman especially his own daughter. What type of example is he setting for her? When she gets married that its ok and appropriate for her husband to lay hands on her because she did something he didnt agree with. There are several ways to discipline a child without getting physical. You cant sit here and honestly say that beatings make children better citizens of the world once they become adults. There are plenty people in and out of the system who had parents and or grandparents that spanked them and look…
Smack her again for calling the police. Heck over 13 you can’t spank and put them in time outs. They are at the age and size where the laying of the hands is your only resort. In my Bernie Man voice.."neck and throat".."neck and throat"
he should’ve checked her…and whomever called the police was wrong…that was a family matter…
she’s too young to be out at 1:00 a.m.
good luck to you creflo
I going by personnel experience my daughter is now 15 yrs old…I have been dealing with her disrespectful behavior since she was 10. She verbally talks back to me, teachers & any other adult or authority figure…she is also destuctive as well..like I have several holes in my walls, torn up plants, screen doors, holes in bedrm doors, broke several centerpieces & pictures, cut the cords on my flat irons, threw a dvd player @ me, has pulled a knife out on her sister…but if I hit her first I would go to jail b/c I’m a aggressive one…so ppl want to talk about how black ppl beat their kids but when we did we got more respect from our children..Now the kids are running over the parents b/c society says its abuse. Its just another way of ruining our culture…b/c I really need & want to beat the heck out of my daughter but I can’t..I don’t want a record.
beat her
she has no right to talk to you her mother or any other adult in that manner, also throwing stuff at you call the Steve Wilkos show and put her on there they’ll put her disrespectful but in bbot camp and take her to visit prison and show her where she will end up if she don’t change her wicked ways. Let her know the bible says God is angry with the wicked everyday. (Psalm 7:11)

Lisa, I am sorry you have no control over your child, but I had to get them in line when they were way younger than ten.Mine tried me when she ran into a girl, who talked to her mom’s crazy, and she thought that was gonna fly with us…ummm..no, ma’am.I dont know what the problem is with your child, but I hope she gets the help she needs in her young life.If you do not/can not disicipline her, the police, C.O.s, guys and other inmates will do what the government prevented you from doing and that is a shame.That is a hard pill to swallow I know, but this is real life.I hope divine intervention happens in your child’s life and one more thing, prayer does work.
So I said all that to say this black children where well behaved in homes as well as out in public…so some of y’all can say what you want but now these kids are out of control…do all kinds of stuff…killing their parents & abusing them….what happen to the child(ren) obeying their parents..time out don’t work for black or white kids cause if it did we would not have so many behaviour issues with these kids now.nine times out of ten I’m sure his daughter hit him first & he lost it…
I say thanks but I discipline her when she was young all the way up tell now…even tho she has theses epsiodes I still do what I have to do as her mother..I have two other daughters & they respect me & other adults with no problem….I rescently is getting the help my daughter needs we went to juvenile court & the psychiatrist diagnosis her with ADHD…..so hopefully her behavior well get better…lord knows I have been praying.
Her mom should have stepped in. He let his anger get the best of him. He should have walked away. I’ve had to walk away as a parent cuz I would have lost it just as he did. She should not have been choked however she did need some kind of punishment. I can’t condone choking.
He had a Madea Big Happy Family (the play) moment. Yahh Trick. He wasn’t ready to let her up.
Yeah, he went too far. That’s why his butt was arrested, lol.
@ladye: you are so RIGHT, those were his exact words to the Bishop Longs members when they left his church to attends his ministry. I wonder if he has insurance. I do believe in spanking but what a lot of people has forgotten is we were AFRAID of our parents. My father never put his hands on me but my mother she didn’t play games nor would we play games with her. She was not our FRIEND but our mother which meant "THE LAW". How can we put all the blame on our youth when we as parents have failed to let the VILLAGE help us raise our children. How many of you that are commenting have told your child or will not let another adult chastise your
The black race never ceases to amaze me…. Choking a 15yr old is acceptable????? I have two sons, they have been spanked as children and disciplined as a teenager (i.e. car taken away, all electronics removed, given only the basic necessities, etc…) My oldest son just graduated from high school last year and is now pre-med in college. My mother raised three children on her own after she and my father divorced; we were spanked and grounded depending upon the age. I don’t understand why we believe that abuse is love……..which is why our young women suffer in silence from domestic abuse. It’s the only way they think “love” is shown.
continued: child? How many of you have raised your children to respect his or her elders? who made their child go outside and play instead of sitting around adults listening to the conversation? How many of you were grandmothers by the age of 30? How many of you had family meals at the dining room table? How many of you put a TV in your child bedroom before the age of 5? I can go on and on but I wont. So don’t just blame the youth and rap songs and video violence start blaming your DAM selves for not parenting like our parents and grandparents. THINK: There parenting skills just was not based on spankings it involved tough love, respect, hard work(if you didn’t work how would you eat), family values, prayer, and THE VILLAGE
Its sad n I wouldn’t wanna point fingers but I do feel that for the mother to have allowed the child to make the report then something must b wrong somewhere.
Only good will become of this matter….god knows
all about it…there is no worry, just trust God.
My husband and I have two girls………they’ve both met the floor. We know exactly what he was probably thinking and feeling during this time. These girls around this age start "smelling" themselves and also they hadn’t had a good spanking in a while…I’m telling you, they will buck up to you. I also feel that they’re not afraid of mama at this age as much. Mama doesn’t put that fear into like daddy does. I’m so sorry this happened to the pastor, but I bet it’s because this little heffa hadn’t had that behind torn up much when she was younger and now this is what he had to resort to. Again, my huband and I have been here twice with our girls. I feel like it’s our own fault for not disciplining them more when they were much younger.
My husband says she’s pretty lucky. When we were this age….boy we got the cast iron skillets in our backs, extension cords, brooms, shoes, racing car tracks, switches, etc. thrown at and laid across our backs, head, legs and Lord knows whatever else just happened to be in the way. I think this made us better adults though.
Reading all these posts reveal that there is two sides to parenting. Down south,if you got into trouble,say hitting a kid,at home, outside. You got a whoopin’,not a whipping. A whoopin’ meant it was your responsiblity for your behavior to go and retrieve the switch for your whoopin’. If your were say 5,6 or 7..one switch of would do. If you were eight and above,you could judge which switch you could get away with. If you wanted to be a smart azz at 11 yr.and bring some flimsy twig like switch,you were told to go and get two more just like it for braiding.By 15,it was unheard of to be labeled as a bad kid. These northerners were another story. Beating kids with extension cords,broom sticks,things that can kill a kid. And most times because they are frustrated with their own lives. Don’t know what the answer is,but taking corporal punishment to a degree from parents and teachers when kids were kids and not these little animals that roam the streets and disrespect their parents and everyone else will never reverse into the disapline that they once had.
it takes a special evil to choke anyone let alone a child. you dollar are a lier an the truth is not in you. really people?
Wow,I see The Eddie Long syndrome is not just residing at NewBirth because it’s clear to me that many of you are probably members of World Changes or whatever it is because of all the excuses you are making as if you actually KNOW what happened..
You’re supposed to be grown people and yet you are sitting up here judging a 15 year old based on what YOUR teenager does AS IF that is somehow relevant to this girl.If she called this time, I wouldn’t be shocked if this has happened at other times and you don’t know what the girl has been dealing with but being the blind followers many of you are, you just automatically believe the 15 year old is in the wrong because many of you go around worshiping preachers.
I wouldn’t be shocked if the 15 year old will somehow be pressured to minimize what happened in the coming days by her father and his people but I still believe this Reverend DOLLAR is guilty and it explains why he defended a pedophile as it pertain to Eddie Long.
"I’m Not One To Gossip ….You are so right and the reason why many Blacks feel this is acceptable is because many are working with a "slave mentality" and trust when I say the lock on these fools minds is real!
@ Joe…You are so right!
I’m sure Eddie Long was preaching about Creeplo’s "wreck" in church today.
Most of you all sound as dumb as fuck! There is no way that my husband would choke, punch, or hit our daughter in the face with a shoe. On the other hand, we would slap the shit out of her. None of you all know what the fuck went down in that house. Creflo has probably been beating and will continue to beat his wife and kids asses. They better cook some grits for that nigga!
You stupid motherfuckers need to stop putting these nothing ass pastors up on some kind of high level just because he’s smart enough to take money from the poor and live like a king. I’m gonna start up a church and steal money from you dumb motherfuckers!
I agree with Joe!
I’m not a parent but I have been a teenager and have watched my brothers as teenagers and worked in a school environment with teenagers and anyone who’s patients and resolve has never been tried by a teenager then you must be a saint. Teenagers are some hateful out of control evil creatures they will cuss at you, swing on you, act like they grown and do and say whatever they feel because they think they grown. If you scared of your own children and worried you can’t discipline them and if they have no fear of you then what will they do in the streets? These kids have no fear and you know folks like the police and the judges have no problem throwing they asses in jail or shooting them there is a break down some where in the community but bottom line is either you gonna raise your kids the way you see fit or you going to let them run all over you because you scared of them calling child protective services the funny part though the real kids who are getting really abused, sexually molested, neglected, traded for drugs, etc are never the ones that call child protective services its the ones who have a cell phone, a dvd player, a sweet 16 party a closet full of designer clothes, and other material goods that complain the loudest about nothing.
In the last days children will fight against their parents- even to cause them to be put to death. Your foes will be those of your own household. People will mock you and speak all manner of evil against.
You who say- you smack yours but choke? There is no bigg or little sin- all sin is unrighteous to God. You who are angry that he stood up for his brother in the Lord- saying he got what he deserve- repent! you hide behind your keyboards, but the Lord see you- repent. You hav

Exposers- you hate him, and judge on hearsay- like Eddie Long?? What does he have to do with this? They slandered eddie-and when it was over those boys did video and said we never had sex with him- the interview was so crazy- they edited the video- never seen it on tv but they accused him and it was all over the tv for months- same boy got locked up for drugs- they hid that too-it’s really the anti-christ spirit trying to defame God, and His people. You are against, and hate because you have that spirit. If he is wrong- pray
No one who walks this land is perfect- you have some mess in your life too- the difference is he believes in God- you hate him- you are a murderer at heart- pray for him- are you without sin? Pray for his wife and children- your angry because he kicked you out of his church? No? You wasn’t there? Why are you mad than? You were there? So youre a christian? is it that you are angry that some christian spoke again your sin? That’s it! I tell you what- Jesus died for us all(john 3: 16)- Repent! He is coming back soon- please turn to Him
Lastly God loves you all- so much so that He bruised His Son for you- that you who believe can have eternal life- you will spend eternity somewhere- if you believe our not! its your choice- now lets say for instance if what you believe is true and when we died-nothing happens, but if what I’m saying is true what will happen to you? What will be your excuse? If an earthly judge (no matter how nice you hear he is) sentences you- why would a Holy God who bruised His Son for you do less? Repent, turn to God, seek, knock ask!!!!!
I think Pastor had to instilled the fear of GOD in her. If he wanted to harm her he could have. The way he grabbed her by the neck or if he did that at all .. please, we don’t know how this was done. I can promise you if any harm was done to her, the man would be in jail without bond. Yet, it seems like he had to take a drastic measure to keep her from crying about some GANGTAS who was trying to upstage his ministry by atempting to get in her underwear.
i stated earlier that he should’ve checked her…but if he choked her and beat her with a shoe…ummmm now that is a bit much…
Since when did discipline include CHOKING YOUR CHILD?
I swear some times black people just go to far and become the oppressor that they have been trying to flee for generations. If the girl is truly unruly and unmanageable then how about you send her to live with relatives or flat out kick her out of the house? Isn’t 15 considered a legal adult in the state of Georgia?
I just can’t see choking your own child as a just reaction to them misbehaving. What did she do? If she back talked or missed a curfew or wore an outfit he disapproved of then verbally scold her and send her away for a time.
Putting hands on your kids in that manner is flat out wrong. She is 15 and too old and likely too big to beat. You have to communicate to them with words and not hands. Whether people like it or not, children have rights too and you can’t go wailing on a kid just because you feel like it.
Wouldn’t surprise me if he was molesting them girls. Creflo looks creepy to me.
Jesus is our friend. Why can a parent not be a friend that guides and helps us have self control? We can beat kids with a rod of iron and probably have behaved kids on the outside, but what about the inside. God cares about our hearts and motives, as in LOVE. Do we want to raise children that seek safety in a friend in Jesus or do we want to raise kids that think they can obey their way into heaven? The cross bought our salvation since no one could obey the law enough. Beating kids into submission is legalism. Truth is important and Grace is important. Parents that get no respect when a child is 15 yrs. old, did not show that child respect. Respect in relationships is earned. FEAR is a tool of the enemy. Jesus says to fear not. Do we really want to use the enemy’s tool of fear? It might make good behavior while we are looking, but it does not nor cannot achieve a heart connection of trust in Jesus, in child or adult.
Does grace only become available to us humans when we turn 18 years old? Submitting to parents or wives to husbands is a willing thing and not a forced thing. God does not force us to believe. Sin was condemed on the cross. Only the Holy Spirit can change our bad behavior through our hearts. Are we raising pharisees? Or are we hoping to raise believers from the heart?
I only read the first four responses, but it was great to see this for what it most probably is — an arrogant, ungrateful child who wants to intimidate her father.
Unfortunately, Creflo’s extremely bad display about Eddie Long says something is seriously wrong in Creflo’s thinking.
His dishonest evaluation of "his friend" was a twisted and perverse representation of the Scriptures.
I’d like to hear that Creflo has repented, acknowledged that no preacher should recommend Christians sit under leadership that has both refused to acknowledge his sexual perversion and demonstrated that it is repetitive.
There’s much sin in the ministry and perhaps Creflo was hinting at this by his support of Long, but I think most Believers are convinced his admonishment was wrong.
Should the Church be swayed by the perverts’ overwhelming control of virtually every media voice regarding sexual perversion?
Do we know of any statistical evaluation where adult children who were molested by sexual perverts say, "I was molested as a child and it didn’t hurt me and I’m a Christian and it had no negative effect on my life."
I think even the idea of such a "testimony" would be considered self-deception and a tragedy.
God said sexual perversion was an abomination. Should we think that God now wants us "enlightened"?
