Roberts also espoused his "Seed-Faith" theology, which held that those who give to God will get things in return.

The generation of "prosperity preachers" who followed Roberts point to their own luxury homes and private jets as evidence of God's favor. In 2007, Republican Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa launched an investigation of six prosperity preachers, including three who sat on the Oral Roberts University board of regents at the time. The inquiry is still under way.

I thought I'd give Cheese a rest on starting this thread. To me, Oral Roberts will always be the guy with big earlobes who God held hostage for $8M.
