Sounds like delusions and maybe psychosis, and also potentially a con-man in staging some of these miraculous healings. There should be a crime of inciting to religious delusion, because a lot of these things are going to encourage the credulous to less-than-scientific world views.

Alternately he may be someone having a genuinely spiritual experience, if he really thinks god is sending him messages to heal people. In that case I would suggest he try to deepen his experience, in private, and first spend some time as a mendicant, away from the spotlight. I tend to agree a lot of people do need support and healing, but not necessarily by contact with Christian faith.

He's just plain 'ol crazy in the head.

Robertson has made wild claims since the very early days establishing the "700 Club" and CBN. I recall reading his florid prose in his book about those years, Shout It From the Housetops, back in my teens. Even then, and even as an (admittedly, non-charismatic) evangelical, it was easy to see him for the crackpot that he was. He was an aggressive new level of crazy, even beyond what I knew.

His presidential campaign in the 80's established some of the first doubts I openly admitted to myself that I actually had about the faith. At some point he opined that he felt that if he couldn't pray away a hurricane as it approached the Eastern seaboard, that he wasn't worthy to lead the country. I guess most folks agreed, since he didn't come close to winning the nomination.

Robertson was, for me, the embarrassing crazy uncle in the basement that wasn't exactly my fault or my denomination's fault, but he's blood relation and had to be excused or swept under the rug somehow as an anomaly rather than the logical product of our "thinking".

After Robertson I paid more attention to how even the staid folks in my group who constantly intoned "miracles are not for today" still surreptitiously watched and enjoyed televangelists, most of whom offered healing or prosperity gospel themes. Their pastors might not have approved, but they were willing to believe the bullshit. I saw people caught up in the Jim & Tammy Faye Bakker scandal, and other scandals like those of Jimmy Swaggart. At some point I had to admit that following these extremists was some sort of guilty pleasure for even more restrained believers. And that disturbed me greatly.

..you’d think… with that ability to save lives ..the guy would have committed himself to full-time healing! …instead of amassing a religious political thiefdom. They’d have cloned him, studied him, attempted to replicate his powers. But instead, just more BS ..apparently, the world’s full of it...

No, he’s a pathological liar! ?

Technically how we feel can have a great impact on our health, because of the indoctrination we face growing up , people like this are looked at as healers and people buy into that and actually can use their misplaced “ faith “ to help themselves to get better. In some cases especially physcomatic instances . As far as actual things like cancers , and other diseases no way .
