This is already in the Politics/Controversies Area. For 2 days already.

It's Jesse Duplantis... all things are normal here.

This is getting lame and predictable. No deep discussion, no dialogue. Just the same tired aimless bashing. It's not even of biblical stuff. Yeah, fakes and frauds. They're scum. Nothing new.

Hardly. It's fair game because it reflects poorly on our faith. I am so tired of these charlatans.

What I find disturbing is the people who follow them.

Default When will they learn? Oh, Jesse Dup...

Ref...TV evangelist.

Why does he not know that he is satisfying a stereotype...AND turning many away from
Christianity, churches, preachers, maybe even Jesus.
As in: "If this is what being Christian is...it's not for me."

He needs it to spread the Gospel...what? First class may get you there 2 hours later than your own jet.
Nothing better he could do with $54 million?

Whoa, Jesse! Down turned thumb here with a head shake.

...and the attention, and the ego gratification, etc. Just like politicians. All part of the same lost and worldly stuff that people chase after. It might feel good now, but that ultimate 'hangover' will be a bytch.

He's a two-bit con man shyster charlatan. He's outside of orthodoxy and is universally condemned by every Christian I know of.

Even better, what's becoming more and more popular is for CEO's to belong to jet-sharing organizations. For $54 mil you can buy virtually unlimited hours of flight time.

He wants this jet, his 4th, to keep up with the Copelands. It's all about status. He's selling the idea that if you believe his message, then God will make you rich, so he has to keep up appearances.
