I don't know if any of you heard on the news about Televangelist Jesse Duplantis. He is asking his congregants to cough up $54 MILLION for a new jet. Now mind you, this would be his FOURTH jet.
Supposedly this is so he can travel the world and preach. Well, isn't that what a television is for???? I don't see the POPE asking his people for this kind of thing. I absolutely have no words for this; and if I did, they wouldn't be nice.

I have never heard of Jesse Duplantis. I have heard of Jesus, however.
Donkeys are not that common as a means of transport these days so I'd expect to find Jesus walking, riding a bicycle or even maybe driving a car. though he'd be much more likely to be the person next to me in the bus, train or underground/metro or whatever the common means of public transport you have where you are.

@nanette64 Isn't there something in the bible about camels, eyes of needles, rich men and heaven?

And what makes me mad is that Christ didn't tell 'anybody' that they would have to BUY their space in Heaven @WorDazza .

@nanette64 The leader. Not your post. I would be ashamed to say such a thing, plus I don't
believe the LOrd told him that.

Not my place to judge, but someday he will be judged.
As Matthew 19:24 says:
Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God

To me that sounds more like pure greed and a lot less like thoughts about preaching. Wrong, wrong, wrong.

Yeah, I'd like to know what happened to the other 3 too @cintol . He probably sold them for 'cash'. I'd never heard of the bugger either.

@nanette64 What can we do? People are easily misled. They probably think that God will bless them for their generosity.

You got that right @amadeo . One of his comments to his parishioners was, "Jesus is my Sugar Daddy." Somehow if Jesus heard that comment, this guy is gonna be taking the elevator down; not up.

If people give to him he will get it. It is wrong but for those members that contribute he will keep asking.
