Of course he will next say that God needs him to have access to his followers’ wives and daughters. That is pretty much the standard with cults.
That’s usually first on the list.
Pretty sure if God needed that, He could make it happen without needing people to make donations.
Assuming He exists, of course.
Get him a RC plane looking like a jet. Then, if he seems unhappy with it, call him out as an ungrateful heretic. Proceed to throw rocks towards his head. God gave you a jet mf”er, WTH is the problem? It is what Jesus would do. Be like Jesus.
Last I checked, I thought having such expensive luxuries would absolutely be following the sin of greed. Last I checked, God doesn’t give out orders to commit sins.
Then again, I would expect these stereotypical Christian devil worshipers disguised as prophets to swindle common folk to worship false prophets and idols so if Satan ever tries to invade Heaven they’ll have way more unwilling slaves.
What we need now is an Argon Crystal laser. See an Argon Crystal laser can pierce thick space hulls in a way that other lasers just can’t. Send your money now.
I heard that one 10, 12 years ago and I assume older folks have heard it before that.
Damn near 20 years ago now, Kenneth Copeland and his extended family of Prosperity Gospel grifters. Fuck him, fuck Creflo Dollar, Jesse Duplantis, Keith Moore, Benny Hinn, Todd White, and anyone I might have forgotten to mention.
joel olsteen too.
Oh yeah, double-fuck him. Locking his church’s doors during a hurricane to keep people from taking refuge into it is straight up anti-Christ.
I generally assume when Jesus was decrying the perils of wealth, and telling dumb rich people to go sell their shit… he had a cheesy car salesman grin and a hand out, maybe muttered something like “let me help you with that “,
Why assume that? He literally says to give the proceeds to the poor. Matthew 19:21
The poor.
Not the opportunistic.
Because he’s already a charlatan grifting the poor and desperate for cash.
Kinda fucked up to draw that conclusion from him telling a rich guy to give it all to the poor. Not to him, directly to the poor.
The problem isn’t Christ’s doctrine, it’s the endless lineage of grifters twisting it to take the money for themselves.
Sorry, I side with the fig tree. Show me a christian church without massive sin.
On that we can agree. It is my understanding that the only true “church” is just the collective population of believers, and that establishments/organizations of religion are anathema to Christ’s teachings.
How is a collective different from an organization?
Except I’m not drawing it exclusively from one verse.
I’m drawing that conclusion from an understanding of both his nature, and literally that of every other charlatan.
He was faking miracles in order to grift people out of their hard-earned money. Further more, it’s quite clear by the same accounts in the gospels that Jesus did not in fact have any beef with rich people, per se, and often enjoyed the benefits wealth brought. (i.e. by staying in their homes.)
There’s no reason to imagine Jesus was any better than any other faith-healing grifter.
And lets be perfectly clear here, those gospels also say he said he’d return and do the whole messiah thing, the final judgement, all that, before all of the disciples would have died. that clearly has not happened.
Those gospels were all written well after his death. They’re probably about as accurate as George Washington chopping down the cherry tree.
Mythicism doesn’t paint any better of a picture of whoever came up with the “teachings”.
Either way, whoever started it was scamming people. (I would suggest Paul was from the get go, too, even if Jesus was real.)
That said, if Jesus was real and he claimed to be a messiah, then he would have been expected to do miracles to prove it. So if the most basic part of his claim is true, he’d have had to do a little sumth’n sumth’n
Ah, I can see how you’d interpret the situation, if you suppose fake miracles were involved. I’m not convinced there were any miracles, real or fake, rather than such things being added to the account later by charlatans to lend legitimacy to their claims.
Pretty dumb god if he doesn’t even look at oil prices before saying this
FBI should loan him one of theirs and have agents as pilots or something
At this point, if people are so dumb they fall for that, I think he deserves that jet.
Yeah you’re right. The victims of the abuse should be the ones blamed.
Prole
Me being a worker is not a good insult.
That’s not the insult.
So it’s a compliment?
You’re aware of its meaning.

Who is he abusing? He’s selling “salvation” and people seem happy to buy.
God needs you to send me money. I take PayPal, zelle, check, cash, venmo, Amazon and visa gift cards.
Sorry, I only have Biblecoin.
You misspelled “profit”
