YES, A SOUL WINNER: “I would not doubt that by now Paul Crouch has met the Apostle Paul! They both helped to shape the world spiritually! What an impact! May my generation continue the legacy that you two left!”
NO, A SINNER: This man was…a false prophet who was using the True Christian beliefs of many who walk among us to line his own pockets. As punishment for his life of dishonesty, wealth, greed, and lies, today he has first class accommodations in Hell…”
Even as most of the Christian world was celebrating the departed founder of Trinity Broadcast Network, Paul Crouch for the many souls won for Christ through the network, a controversial blogger, Jim Solouki has condemning him as a “closet atheist”, who is “burning in Hell as we speak.”
Solouki, who co-authored a similar condemnatory post about the late Nelson Mandela with Martin Baker on the blogsite, www.creationsciencestudy.wordpress.com, described all the current eulogies “the mistake of mourning this sinful man.”
Dr. Paul Crouch died November 30th at the age of 79 following a decade-long battle with heart disease. He has since been buried without any kind of public ceremony. Instead, the three-hour programme, which took a look at his life and ministry was aired twice on Sunday, December 8th and once the following day. The programme also highlighted the founding and phenomenal growth of TBN over the past forty years in addition to a reflection on the life and legacy of its founder.
Video messages and remembrances from many of the pastors, ministry leaders, and others who partnered with Paul and Jan Crouch to give TBN the global impact that it has today, also featured in the special programme.
Yet Solouki wrote of him: “Did you know that Paul Crouch, televangelist, owner of Trinity Broadcasting Network and closet atheist, is burning in Hell as we speak? That’s right folks. Paul Crouch has recently died, and is now being punished for his many sins. Many Christians are making the mistake of mourning this sinful man, thinking that we’ve lost a man of God. But verily, I say to you, this man was not a True Soldier for Christ, but rather a false prophet who was using the True Christian beliefs of many who walk among us to line his own pockets. As punishment for his life of dishonesty, wealth, greed, and lies, today he has first class accommodations in Hell…”
But even as Solouki was situating Paul Crouch’s eternal home in hell, one pastor was sitting him with the Apostle Paul. The Senior Pastor and Founder of Maranatha Christian Centre, Melbourne, Florida had this beautiful tribute on his Facebook page:

“I would not doubt that by now Paul Crouch has met the Apostle Paul! They both helped to shape the world spiritually! What an impact! May my generation continue the legacy that you two left! I remember ministering on a remote island nation in the South Pacific several years ago. I was born in the woods of Virginia but this was even further back in the woods than I was born! At the conclusion of that night meeting, it was very dark and no street lights anywhere and I was missing home. As we pulled up to the pastors home in the village and opened the door my eyes were drawn to the TV! There in the middle of seemingly nowhere the pastor had a satellite dish and TBN was on there. My heart rejoiced as I saw Kirk Franklin that night on Praise The Lord! You will never know how many lives TBN has impacted until we get to heaven! Thanks Paul and all the TBN family! “
So, what do you make of all that: is Paul Crouch in hell or is he seated with his namesake, the great apostle Paul?
