A Cons Con--Preacher Asks For Donations to Buy $54 Million Jet “For the Lord”

What I find so sad is that I have little doubt he will get his jet and will use it as proof of the lords love for him and his followers.

A New Orleans televangelist known for preaching the “prosperity gospel” has asked his followers from all over the world to send him donations for him to buy a $54 million jet.
Jesse Duplantis, the leader of Jesse Duplantis Ministries, is asking for a new Dassault Falcon 7X, a three-engine jet he justified in a five-minute video posted last week on his website by saying it could go farther, therefore saving on airplane fuel. “Pray about becoming a partner to it,” he tells viewers.
“I really believe that if Jesus was physically on the Earth today, he wouldn’t be riding a donkey,” he says in the video “He’d be in an airplane preaching the gospel flying all over the world.”
Duplantis also said that God specifically told him, “I want you to believe in me for a Falcon 7X.” When Duplantis worried about the price, God told him, “Jesse, I didn’t ask you to pay for it, I asked you to believe for it.”
The jet would actually be the fourth private aircraft for Duplantis, according to the video. He bought an airplane “for the Lord” in 1994, then again in 2004, and again in 2006:
I used them—and just burning them up for the Lord Jesus Christ. You know, some people believe that preachers shouldn’t have jets. I really believe preachers ought to go on every available voice, every available outlet to get this gospel preached to the world.
Duplantis preaches a “prosperity gospel,” in which God blesses people who please him with material wealth, to an audience on Trinity Broadcasting Network, which claims to be the largest Christian TV network in the world. TBN has a lineup of famous names in televangelism, including Joel Osteen and fellow private-aircraft enthusiast Creflo Dollar (as well as Mike Huckabee), many of whom also promote the prosperity gospel. Paula White, Donald Trump’s controversial spiritual advisor, also appears on the network to encourage her audience—often low-income people—to give money and be repaid in future success, because of God.
A religious watchdog organization also investigated Duplantis for a $3 million tax-free house serving as a church rectory, paid for through non-taxable donations. Legally, Duplantis cannot put the donations toward any personal use. Flight records showed Duplantis took thousands of trips on his private plane, including ones to Hawaii and Las Vegas, according to the St. Charles Herald-Guide.
Duplantis once appeared in a video defending the use of private jets with Texas televangelist and fellow prosperity minister Kenneth Copeland, who bought his own $6-$12 million jet from the actor Tyler Perry earlier this year. In the video, Copeland argues that Oral Roberts, a famous televangelist had been mobbed by people wanting him to pray for them when he flew on a commercial flight. “You can’t manage that today, this dope-filled world, and get in a long tube with a bunch of demons,” Copeland said.
“And it works on your heart, it really does,” Duplantis added.

You are right. Hates Christianity. Hates Trump! Hates just about everything. Joke! I don't think he has ever made a "positive" comment on OPP. most negative individual on here. I mean, geez, I would think he'd find something positve to bloviate about. These are the kind of people that I consider putting on "ignore". just tired of hearing all the negativity.

Yes let the fools buy the $54 million jet, God needs another. 
There are a few "preachers" who use God's name to acquire earthly things for their selfish needs. That becomes a "news" item. On the other hand, there are politicians, primarily from the left, but not limited to them, that use any available fraud technique to take money for their own use. It is so common on the "progressive" side that it seldom even rates a comment.

Pretty blatant on the Trump side too, how can you make that call on progressives with the banana republic way Trump and his bunch are doing business with foreign affairs?

What's wrong with his foreign affairs? Bringing Kim to the table is not a historic moment. What are you guys drinking? Or smoking? His foreign policy has been almost perfect. What is wrong with you people and how would you do things any better. All you got is boneheaded leaders going around apologizing for being the greatest nation on the Planet. Of course, he would have felt better if we were brought down to size like Third world. Trump has finally got us back to the point where we are respected on the World stage. Obama couldn't do that or didn't want to.
