Joshua and pastors from SCOAN have attracted controversy for their claims to heal incurable illnesses such as HIV/AIDS and cancer and recommending that "healed" individuals stop taking potentially life-saving antiviral medications.
Rumours of Joshua's plans to visit Zimbabwe in May 2012 led to controversial clashes within both politicians and pastors. The visit never materialized.

Famous quotes containing the word controversy:
“Ours was a highly activist administration, with a lot of controversy involved ... but I’m not sure that it would be inconsistent with my own political nature to do it differently if I had it to do all over again.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“And therefore, as when there is a controversy in an account, the parties must by their own accord, set up for right Reason, the Reason of some Arbitrator, or Judge, to whose sentence, they will both stand, or their controversy must either come to blows, or be undecided, for want of a right Reason constituted by Nature; so is it also in all debates of what kind soever.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
