Well, Jesus turned the tables over in the temple when people were selling and buying. This guy is no better. Actually worse that he’s taking money from people to fund his own private desires.
“And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves”
True. But not entirely true. Reread the passage and look at the verse he quotes. The temple leadership had blocked out the part of the temple designated for gentiles to come and worship so they could make and launder the sacrificial money through the buying of sacrifices.
So yeah, Jesus is mad over the buying and selling - but he is really mad over not allowing the gentiles in to worship so that Roman faced money (which was considered idolatrous) could be exchanged for Jewish currency while making bank.
Multiple sins going on here.

People like this third world charlatan are doing more to impede and destroy people's faith than any atheist ever could.

Wrong. His income may be taxed. But Go take a look at the tax rolls for st Charles parish. St Charles parish assessor - it’s a free search.
The ministry owns, Duplantis’s house on river road. He and his family love there and the pay $0 in Parish property tax on it
He and these prosperity gospel people are use the tax laws to their advantage to fund ridiculous lifestyles.
You just said I was “wrong” then went on to repeat what I actually said.
He is taxed on income and not housing (aka property)

Does God need a big neoclassical house? Yes HE DOES!!!!! and he asked Jesse to live in it!!!!!
Does God need a fleet of expensive cars? YES HE DOES!!!!!!
and he asked Jesse and his family to drive them.
Does God need a G4 or better jet? You bet HE DOES!!!!!!!! and he asked Jesse to fly in it for him!!!!!!!

The ones I know are just as hypocritical as Jesse, so why not?

Maybe, this says more about you.

Your anecdotal “people I know” doesn’t do much for me.
Like everyone, Christians struggle with certain things, but this guy and actual Christians are nothing alike. Just like the faith healers are not true Christians.
Accumulating worldly wealth, especially using God as the means to make it, is 100% against the Bible and as non-Christian as it gets.

I wish someone would put those quotes up on a billboard in Ormond.

When he goes to these places do the guest have to buy tickets to hear him speak?

Then they deserve whatever happens due to the parting with their money. Jesse is living the high life while they worry about food and utilities

I saw him several times back in the 90's and there wasn't a fee to see him but whatever church he was at would take up an offering for him.
The guy is a cockroach and has fooled so many people into believing the shite he preaches. I hate all of the name it and claim it people.

I'm sure his entire congregation believes this is actually scripture.
While this guy is irredeemably despicable, it's hard to feel sorry for his audience. reminds me of Christopher Hitchens describing Jerry Falwell:

I used to track him in flightaware.com, but he made it private (too many prying eyes, perhaps??):
Falcon 50; Tail number N770JD
FAA Registration
Looks like he's already reserved a new tail number for his new toy (since 2010; renewed 2017): N7JD

This is disgusting. Basically he's just taking advantage of stupid people in the name of Jesus.

Why does he have framed photos of his jets on the wall??
