Oklahoma pastor faces criticism for rubbing spit on parishoner’s face
pastor from a megachurch in Tulsa, Oklahoma, faced a wave of criticism online over video of him rubbing spit on a worshipper’s face.

During a sermon on Sunday, Michael Todd, a 34-year-old lead pastor at Transformation church, spat into his hand twice.

“Receiving vision from God might get nasty,” he said, before turning to the man on the stage.

The incident came about 40 minutes into a two-hour service, when Todd discussed Mark 8:22-25, a Bible passage in which Jesus restores a blind man’s sight in the village of Bethsaida by rubbing spit on to his eyes.

The parishioner in Tulsa was identified as Todd’s brother, Brentom Todd. When Todd rubbed his hands on to his brother’s face, the audience let out an audible gasp.

When Stitt announced chruches should close at the height of the pandemic this one had a 4-state revival.

5. Someone should inform this nut that he is not Jesus

If the audience/congregation gasped — maybe they’ll fire him. One can hope.
