Arch-heretic Jesse Duplantis tried to justify his massive wealth accumulation during a recent broadcast episode of his show, but his wife accidentally called him out as an “ungodly man” over a blatant scripture twist.
The decrepit money-grubber is known for his love of filthy lucre and declaring that the Lord’ flexes on him by ‘giving’ him a private jet. Perhaps the best living example of a two-fold son of hell that will spend eternity screaming in horror in the lake of fire if he doesn’t repent, we wrote about him recently after he argued that if you don’t believe in the prosperity gospel as he does, one that has made him a multi-millionaire by savagely beating and twisting the scriptures for his gain for decades, then Jesus will tell you to “go to hell,” as you seemingly can’t handle all the riches that will be inlaid in heaven. Notably, he’s claimed that God has given him half a billion dollars over the last few years to “reach souls,” but that it’s not enough.
He’s claimed to be the fulfillment of messianic prophesies eternally associated with Christ, engaged in gross manipulation when he told folks to give me money so Jesus doesn’t have to cry anymore, said, “When you see me, you see the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost – you see God Incarnate, and recently insisted that he’s so righteous that he has a hard time sinning.
In his recent show, Duplantis expressed his mild consternation that people keep coming at him for his wealth, saying he’s not bothered because he has a scripture to justify it, such as his 35,000 sqft mansion.
Let me give you a prime example why I don’t care what people think about me, about what I have. Now Look at me. Look at me! I am a very blessed man. Me and Kathy are very blessed. I’m spiritually, physically and financially.
I’ve had more people criticize me over that jet; they still can’t get over it. Criticized me over my house- they didn’t pay for it, I paid for it. Do you understand what I say? All these different things.
But let me tell you why that’s water on a duck’s back to me and I’m gonna give you a scripture and it’s Psalms (Psalm) 49:16 “be not thou afraid when one is made rich, (chuckles to himself) when the glory of his house is increased.”
Duplantis asks his wife and coconspirator to read the same verse in the Amplified Bible, which gives a bit more context, and she accidentally roasts him by showing he’s ascribing to himself the qualities and characteristics of an “ungodly man.”
“Well, Amplified says “be not afraid when an ungodly one is made rich, when the wealth and glory of his house are increased” and goes on “for when he dies you will carry nothing away; His glory will not descend after him.”
LOLOLOLOL. Bingo. The entire chapter is a Psalm that warns against the folly of placing trust in wealth. It’s a scathing rebuke of those who trust in their wealth and boast in the abundance of their riches’, predicting their ultimate demise in darkness, their riches left behind, and the light forever out of their reach.
For Duplantis, though, who never met a bible verse he couldn’t molest, he’s too crooked and spiritually bankrupt to admit his error, so he quickly glosses over it and pivots.
A 35,000 sq ft house? Doesn’t EVERY preacher have one, or two? </sarc>
I think Robert Tilton had three in his hay day.
I love love love love the AMP translation for accuracy.
He’s the guy who said Jesus came to him for advice. He has had multiple conversations with Jesus.
He used to be one helluva electric bassist. I’ve seen his “tent show” a coupla times. Interesting, but... when the bucket is passed, just passed it along.
“A 35,000 sq ft house? Doesn’t EVERY preacher have one, or two? </sarc>”
It’s incorporated, these individual tent show preachers don’t own much materially, but the do have wealth. The infrastructure, fleet vehicles, aircraft reside under the corporate umbrella.
They might come off as dressed up bible thumpin’ hicks... but they ain’t stupid, there’s business savvy amongst them, and a whole basket of infoshare between the club members.
A lot of these clowns are just like politicians - called to be SERVANTS; to SERVE..
Yet, they all get rich. -Filthy rich.
One does not get rich by serving others. It’s not possible.
They’re either serving and giving or they’re taking in the dough. Can’t do both at the same time.
SATAN IS THE ACCUSER OF THE BRETHREN, STOP IT!
A friend posted on FB that her husband had a “wavering” faith. Ooops
