What happened, Creflo Dollar said, was that "a family conversation with our youngest daughter got emotional."

He went on to say, "she was not choked, punched... had no scratch on her neck.  The only thing on her neck was a prior skin abrasion from eczema." Pastor Dollar explained.

"If I choked my kid you would see signs on her neck! (not a mark from 10 years ago)"

"I love my children enough to establish proper boundaries and make right choices."

In response to some beliefs that his daughter was wrong for calling the police, Pastor Creflo Dollar said, "I will never put any fault on my children. I love her with all my heart."

As Pastor Creflo Dollar moved on to his normal planned sermon, he ended his discussion on the latest arrest by saying, "when the facts come out you will be appalled. (But understand,) its not so much against me as it is against this message of grace…The devil knows in order to discredit the message you have to discredit the messenger."

"I will preach this Gospel of Grace until the day I die!"
