I wonder why God chose a French airplane? Why not Gulfstream? Just saying... | |||

If all the stories in the bible are true, if God really did speak to him I doubt God said anything about a Falcon Jet. Maybe the good reverend heard "Laurel" instead........... | |||

Any time someone tells you that God spoke to them, you're dealing with a charlatan. | |||

Christ rode a donkey not because He had no other option. This preacher fundamentally misunderstands his Lord. You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier | |||

It amazes me there are still people that fall for televangelists and their ilk.
Impossible, for good reason...   | |||

As a private banker, I made a good living charging ~1% for assets under management, for a small number of individuals Pastors can reap 10% of the income from a larger number of people. Clearly, I went into the wrong business! | |||

Vehemently disagree. I'm gonna vote for the funniest frog with the loudest croak on the highest log. | |||

I stand by my statement. Anyone who thinks they hear God speaking to them is insane. Anyone who claims to have been spoken to by God is a con man of the first order. It's funny, isn't it, that God speaks to these religious con men only when it is to their benefit? Oral Roberts, Jessie Duplantis- these guys are con men and liars. Charlatans. Intelligence-insulting charlatans at that. Oral needed a new temple, Jessie needs a new jet. Isn't it funny that God never says "Give up these Earthly things, for they are not of My Kingdom"? It's a puzzler, ain't it? | |||

Jesus rode a specific donkey, a never before saddled donkey, as a symbol of humility and sinlessness. He certainly could have ridden a horse, a camel, etc. He did ride on boats from time to time so he certainly used modern transportation of the day. We should always think twice about declaring what Jesus would do. I'm gonna vote for the funniest frog with the loudest croak on the highest log. | |||

At least he is being honest about why he wants the money. If people are silly enough to give it to him that is on them. He is scamming no one. ———————————————— The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad. If we got each other, and that's all we have. I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand.

I don't think that's fair. These are mostly elderly people, some of them very lonely. They need to belong to something. They need to believe that at the end of their life, they are not just dust. They need to believe that they will be walking streets of gold and will be in the company of their savior, Jesus Christ, for all eternity. You can call them naive. You can even call them desperate, and statistically, yes, there are going to be sub-100 IQ people among their group, but to condemn Christians for wanting to believe in the gospel but who have ended up in the clutches of a con man is not fair. Just what exactly do you think faith is all about? Most of these people have followed Jessie Duplantis for many, many years. You expect them to shatter their world over something like this? Their reaction- for the most part- will be to rationalize this as the will of God, but that doesn't make them stupid. It makes them faithful believers. It makes them devoted. Could you unravel your own world with one bad or questionable thing out of the universe of joy that true belief can bestow? It's just not that simple. ____________________________________________________ "I am your retribution." - Donald Trump, speech at CPAC, March 4, 2023 | |||

Agreed. We should worry more about what Jesus told us to do. As far as Jesse Duplantis, Creflo Dollar, Kenneth Copeland, Jim Bakker and the rest of the prosperity gospel hucksters go, it should come as no surprise that their pews are filled with the willfully decieved that all but throw mony at them, who want to believe that Christ's sacrafice was meant to make them wealthy. Paul warned Timothy it would happen.

But then he might have to WAIT for NETJETS to arrive when he hears the LORD speak to him about flying somewhere in the world at this instant! Think of all the people who might die if he doens’t OBEY immediately! That just isn’t Christian! This guy and his like are con men of the highest order. Complete and utter theives. And the people who give them money are mindless drones. | |||

Rhino, is there anything that you're not cynical about? | |||
