US preacher asks followers to help buy fourth private jet

A US televangelist has asked his followers to help fund his fourth private jet - because Jesus "wouldn't be riding a donkey".

Jesse Duplantis said God had told him to buy a Falcoln 7X for $54m (£41m).

He added he was hesitant about the purchase at first, but said God had told him: "I didn't ask you to pay for it. I asked you to believe for it."

Although preachers owning private jets is not unusual, this particular appeal has caused controversy.

What nonsense of the pastor to buy a private jet.

It concerns me that the money my father had worked hard for all his life might be given away to one of these churchy swindlers by my mother as she gets more senile. I wish there was a way to have more control over her landline and her cable TV. She'll trust what anybody in a suit says over what I say. lmao

I did try that M&M diet though. lol

It's been a while since I read the Bible, but I seem to remember that Jesus did ride a Donkey. I certainly don't remember Jesus asking people to give him money

Jesus also didn't use his religion as a business model to scam millions from fools.

And no, Jesus rode into Jerualem on a dinosaur, ask the creationists.

I went down that same road with my mother. She gave away thousands before I finally got her checkbook away from her. We still get a mailbox full of junk mail because of it.

This whole "Jesus wouldn't ride a donkey" business, one question pops up: Did this preacher suggest he is Jesus? Oh dear me.
