OMG!!!!!!

(CNN) — A prosperity gospel televangelist from Louisiana says Jesus has asked him to buy a new private jet. And wouldn't you know it, Jesus has real nice taste in planes.

Jesse Duplantis, leader of Jesse Duplantis Ministries and the owner of three other private jets, is asking his followers to chip in so his ministry can purchase a brand new Dassault Falcon 7X, which runs about $54 million.

In a video recently published on his website, Duplantis says the planes get him closer to the Lord -- both literally and figuratively -- and he had a divine conversation in which Jesus asked for the new aircraft by name.

"It was one of the greatest statements the Lord ever told me, he said, 'Jesse do you want to come up where I'm at?'" the minister says. "'I want you to bleed me for a Falcon 7X.'"

By "bleed," Duplantis -- er, Jesus -- apparently meant "ask for donations."

Duplantis goes on to tell his followers that jets, especially nice ones with good fuel efficiency, allow him and his ministries to reach more people around the world. And no, it wouldn't technically be his, it would be the ministry's.

"I really believe that if Jesus was physically on the earth today, he wouldn't be riding a donkey," he added with a chuckle.

In the video, Duplantis also shows his followers a photo of him standing beside his other three jets: a Cessna Citation 500, an IAI Westwind II, and a Dassault Falcon 50. Under the portrait is a quote, which he proudly reiterates: "It's not about possessions, it's about priorities."

can you BELIEVE the audacity of this 'preacher' who wants his followers to donate $54 million dollars to him,so he can purchase a 4th jet for him,that he claims jesus told him to buy??

and,how ridiculously stupid are the people who follow him??

i think that people like this should be put UNDER the prison for fraud,and have all of their TAX FREE assets stripped from them,and have them donated to a REAL charity that DESERVES a tax free status!!

does anybody actually believe that 'jesus' told him to take money from the poor,and buy him a 4th $54 million dollar jet?

and,how are we letting frauds like this Piece of crap take advantage of poor,good intentioned,god fearing people like this,and not doing anything about it??

what are your thoughts about this??

There is apparently a certain percentage of people who need this sort of thing, or who are too gullible to be able to say No.

Oh Lord won't ya buy me a Mercedes Benz,
My friends all drive Porsches,
I must make amends...

And religious people wonder why I think organised religion is just a scam...now you know...maybe I should become a minister to get a new house and car....

and,on top of THIS,he also lives in a $3,000,000+ house that he got his followers to pay for!


i think that at a certain point,people who donate money to people ike thus should have to be mentally evaluated for their own safety!

and,at the very least,i think that people who receive THAT sort of money should lose their tax exempt status,and be made to pay taxes on ALL of their holdings...INCLUDING the income they get from tithes,and donations!!

but,i STILL think that people like this should be put in prison for fraud!!
[unless they can PROVE that god told them to do these things!!!!]

Humm yea makes one wonder how come God did not tell them to use that money to feed all the Homeless on the streets...

something I feel is just as bad is it is all tax free...that should be changed

I saw that on the News. What a scam job. Remind me of Benny Hinn.

I don't see where this man has asked any non-christians to give, I also don't see where this man has asked anyone that doesn't listen to him to give. Why is it the only ones with the biggest problem with it are people he's not even asked to give to his ministry? That's my view on it.

maybe because his followers aren't to smart to begin with if they believe Jesus told him he needed that plane...why didn't Jesus just tell his followers instead if him?

My heart bleed for the body of Christ just because of those fake pastors, evangelist etc. Jesus Christ didn't tell that scammer anything like that they have brainwash so many just only the wise can escape them

The followers have been conditioned to go along with these types of scams. Those who have woken up and walked away from this type of prosperity gospel are trying to wake others up. I used to be a Christian but soon realised the whole thing is lifted from other older pagan religions. This so called pastor should be prosecuted for deceit. I will never ever return to any religion and feel better for it.

Philippians 1
15 Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:
16 The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:
17 But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.
18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.

God will judge this man, and all men. For those of you that point to this and say it is a reason to not believe, will you give up your beliefs in medicine because there are quack doctors? Will you give up your beliefs in fairness and justice because there are crooked cops and corrupt judges and politicians for sale to the highest bidder? Will you beliefs in education because there are some kids that graduate and yet can't read or write?

His greed knows no limits and I greatly fear for his soul.

If Jesus was on Earth these days he would be living the same way he was in Biblical times a detached life from all material possessions Jesus is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow...never changes...Praise you Jesus thank you Jesus Amen
