Limits on what the Lord provides

[kallend 2,146]

Apparently the Lord will provide, unless its money or jet planes, when the gullible have to pony up:

Only in America. There are many morally corrupt Imams in the world but AFAIK none has reached the crass levels of self aggrandizement as tele-evangelicals.

But then they all support trump!

God™ is a multi-billion dollar enterprise. It's top executives deserve the finest accommodations to help them in their constant quest for more filthy lucre. America is the world's greediest nation, and American Christian leaders are the nation's greediest leaders.

Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Limits on what the lord will provide? Simple, amputated limbs.

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Dassault Falcon
My peers all fly Gulfstreams, I must make amends
Preached hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends
So Lord, won't you buy me a Dassault Falcon

Thats close but the actual claim by Jesse Duplantis is that the lord spoke to him directly. That when he stood up in the cabin in his executive jet. The pilot turned around and asked him if he needed anything. Jesse responded that the pilot should just fly the jet and let him communicate directly with Jesus Christ about jet ownership.

When Jesse is on a roll he is hilarious. Many folks look upon these televangelists as entertainment. They send money same as you people pay for concerts, Broadway shows, Star Wars tickets or I-phones. The reason is that they do not attend secular venues.

However, I won't send them a dime.

Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

The majority of donors are the elderly who can not afford to be donating to these con artist.

this is hardly new. We used to watch Jerry Falwell and the Bakers back int eh 80's while drinking beer and laughing our asses off. EXACT same monologues.... "But if you are that one donor that can send us $1M, we can get God's message to the world...."

But hey, if I can convince you on TV to send me your social security check and then you send me your social security check - I mean that is capitalism, in its purest form.

I think Jesus would be smart enough to realize what a waste of money it is to be the sole owner of a private jet. He would understand that fractional ownership (eg Netjet) or an Uber-type arrangement (eg Jetsmarter) would leave more money to actually benefit the needy.

In fact, if Jesus was really smart, he would discover this new-fangled communications medium that broadcasts images and audio, enabling Him to reach orders of magnitude more people, thereby rendering physical travel obsolete.

Are you kidding? Jesus would be _running_ Netjet (and a few other companies) and funnelling the money into small-cap stocks. With a little omniscience coupled with a long term, high risk investment strategy, he could be richer than Buffett in ten years.

And anyone who reads the Bible knows that that is what Jesus is all about - wealth, good sales numbers and business success. And of course living in the lap of luxury, avoiding all the lesser undesirables.

Here at the Akron-Canton airport we have Ernest Angley's 747 taking up space.

Seems the lord will provide you with a 747 but not new tires.

Please don't dent the planet.

And donate his money to ensuring free wifi and cable to everyone around the world (to increase those orders of magnitude he could reach), not wasting it on the inefficient mode of personal appearances.
