"In the old testament, the Prophet Elijah was bestowed upon with speed so that he could outrun Ahab's chariots on his way to Jerusalem to avoid the rain he had called.

Now brothers, is it wrong for God to bestow upon me a 570hp Engine in these modern times to help me cut through traffic at lightning speed and tend to his flock? No. Now grab your bibles and say our prayer like you mean it..."

Y'all gone gave to pick a side.

Y'all praying to God for money, but then hating on the preacher with money.

If he's getting these cars/houses from selling books and touring speaking engagements, then there's really no huge issue. Those are solo endeavors, he has a right to make money.

If he's taking money from the congregation donations/tithes, well that's an issue. And at that point the "what would Jesus think" statement applies

I mean at the end of the day he's spreading the word for god :yeshrug:

Only God can change him really. People got to stop thinking that just because this man has a Ferrari what would Jesus do? Once people realize that this life is about energy and stop pocket watching nikkaz will always be hating. People say they want all these nice things in the world but don't want to put in the work to get it. You have to pick where you are going to direct your energy too. If you want to put the energy in getting money then you got to figure out your passion or a skill and work at that shyt day in and day out. The one thing I can't stand about religion is that they make God look like some genie or Santa Clause and don't understand that he/she is all about energy.

:dahell:

he'd call him out just like he did the false teachers of the law

he would tell osteen to go sell all your possessions and follow me like he did the rich man already


Woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort
Woe to you who are well fed now, for you will go hungry

99% of churches have under 100 members and are just getting by yet do work in the community
99% of pastors don't take a dime from the church

coli only focuses on the 1 percent

Where does Jesus stand on lying about living in your parents’ house to get into a woman’s pants? :patrice:

Bible Gateway passage: Matthew 6 - King James Version
Matthew 6:1-8
1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.

2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:

4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.

5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

I'm not hating any more. This guy has been gouging and grifting so long and people keep buying into it. That's on them.

You can't buy your way into the kingdom

His money comes from books and public speaking. And nothing say a man of god can’t have money
