OMG!!!!!!

(CNN) — A prosperity gospel televangelist from Louisiana says Jesus has asked him to buy a new private jet. And wouldn't you know it, Jesus has real nice taste in planes.

Jesse Duplantis, leader of Jesse Duplantis Ministries and the owner of three other private jets, is asking his followers to chip in so his ministry can purchase a brand new Dassault Falcon 7X, which runs about $54 million.

In a video recently published on his website, Duplantis says the planes get him closer to the Lord -- both literally and figuratively -- and he had a divine conversation in which Jesus asked for the new aircraft by name.

"It was one of the greatest statements the Lord ever told me, he said, 'Jesse do you want to come up where I'm at?'" the minister says. "'I want you to bleed me for a Falcon 7X.'"

By "bleed," Duplantis -- er, Jesus -- apparently meant "ask for donations."

Duplantis goes on to tell his followers that jets, especially nice ones with good fuel efficiency, allow him and his ministries to reach more people around the world. And no, it wouldn't technically be his, it would be the ministry's.

"I really believe that if Jesus was physically on the earth today, he wouldn't be riding a donkey," he added with a chuckle.

In the video, Duplantis also shows his followers a photo of him standing beside his other three jets: a Cessna Citation 500, an IAI Westwind II, and a Dassault Falcon 50. Under the portrait is a quote, which he proudly reiterates: "It's not about possessions, it's about priorities."

can you BELIEVE the audacity of this 'preacher' who wants his followers to donate $54 million dollars to him,so he can purchase a 4th jet for him,that he claims jesus told him to buy??

and,how ridiculously stupid are the people who follow him??

i think that people like this should be put UNDER the prison for fraud,and have all of their TAX FREE assets stripped from them,and have them donated to a REAL charity that DESERVES a tax free status!!

does anybody actually believe that 'jesus' told him to take money from the poor,and buy him a 4th $54 million dollar jet?

and,how are we letting frauds like this Piece of crap take advantage of poor,good intentioned,god fearing people like this,and not doing anything about it??

what are your thoughts about this??

and,on top of THIS,he also lives in a $3,000,000+ house that he got his followers to pay for!


i think that at a certain point,people who donate money to people ike thus should have to be mentally evaluated for their own safety!

and,at the very least,i think that people who receive THAT sort of money should lose their tax exempt status,and be made to pay taxes on ALL of their holdings...INCLUDING the income they get from tithes,and donations!!

but,i STILL think that people like this should be put in prison for fraud!!
[unless they can PROVE that god told them to do these things!!!!]

I don't see where this man has asked any non-christians to give, I also don't see where this man has asked anyone that doesn't listen to him to give. Why is it the only ones with the biggest problem with it are people he's not even asked to give to his ministry? That's my view on it.
