-And Jesus did say unto the disciples, ‘Surely this donkey chafes me sorely. Leave us charter a plane for Jerusalem.’

-And Lo, they chartered a small plane that had only twelve seats of finest leather and comfort and a small wooden jump seat in the back near the lavatory.

-And the jump seat was windowless and had no overhead space.

-The disciples did draw straws to see who would sit in the jump seat.

-Now it came to pass that Judas drew the shortest straw and had to sit in the jump seat and he bore great hardship because he had to scrunch up his legs whenever any of them visited the lavatory and had to carry his luggage on his lap.

-And he seeth-ed and did plot against the others.

“I really believe that if the Lord Jesus Christ was physically on the Earth today, he wouldn’t be riding a donkey,” Duplantis says”

Well, then you really don’t know much, con man.

Get you a bicycle, POS.

With modern communication, would Jesus really be flying all.over the world constantly, enough that he needs his own jet? Or would Jesus have used satellite TV and the internet, to spread the word?

One does not exclude the other. But, I’m not so sure Jesus would have his own private jet. Maybe he would fly commercial when he traveled?

Jesus could have used a chariot, a litter, ride on a horse or in a carriage. He did none of those as recorded in the Gospels.

“I really believe that if the Lord Jesus Christ was physically on the Earth today, he wouldn’t be riding a donkey,” Duplantis says in the video. “He’d be in an airplane flying all over the world.”

No He would not, Jesse. Jesus came but for the lost sheep of the House of Israel and probably would evangelize today in Israel only. If the Apostle Paul were here today he might fly commercial, economy class. He would also run false prophets and teachers like Duplantis out of the church.

I think Jesus would fly coach and would attempt to spread his message to others on the flight.

The job can be done for a lot less, why a new aircraft?

There are multiple airplanes out there that would get the job done for much less.

I could see Him driving a second-hand pickup truck (being a carpenter) with a crew cab for a few disciples. Maybe one of them has a pilot’s licence and a Piper Cub.

Or perhaps he would simply appear “in the midst”... No jet necessary... Find the real Jesus, Jesse, before it’s too late.

John 20:26
And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.

I think Jesus would have a sweet, tricked-out dune buggy. And an airboat

Perhaps Peter would have a center console Bayliner? (For fishing and stuff)

He's asking people to "pray about being a partner" in this.

If I donate, do I get to ride along?

Duplantis has always reminded me of a cartoon character, but I can’t quite put my finger on it. Yosemite Sam? Foghorn Leghorn? Bugs Bunny?

Once again Billy Graham shows his extreme wisdom in choosing a modest lifestyle.

Well I’m not so sure that Jesus wouldn’t and if I was Jesse I get a saddle fitting PDQ as he is one of the biggest asses around.

And he certainly doesn’t know much about Jesus, but what televangelist does?
