Or our Euro-Americans in the Americas, Asia, and Africa in the pursuit of material profit.
You sound like such an ass.
I never said anything in the OP about him being a crook or committing crimes.
Ostentatious displays of fabulous wealth are unbecoming for a committed man of God, but it's not a felony crime.
When the native Houstonian Joel Osteen decided to buy a luxury home outside of Texas, he didn't look at Nebraska, Oklahoma, Alabama, or West Virginia as potential second homes.
He bought a luxury beach front mansion in Newport Beach, California.

My dad grew up in Orange County when Fullerton was in the boonies. Beautiful country, he said. He did not like Huntington Beach.

Crappy beach. They have breakers, though.

Better surf to the south below Camp Pendleton.
But the way Texans bad mouth California, but then their native son Joel Osteen buys a mansion in Orange County. Why didn't he want to consider Mississippi, Tennessee, South Carolina, or Arkansas for a vacation home?

Who in their right mind would the South for mansion making?
Exactly. As much as rich Texans bad mouth California, they make a bee line to purchase oceanfront property there - instead of in a conservative red state.

you need to meet god halfway.

Dupantis is another, mentored by Copeland in fact. Robert Tilton was a crook too, but he was hilarious to watch. Ernest Angley was also hilarious, crappy wig and all. There is some guy on the air now, usually early am, who looks exactly like a guy you would cast as Satan in a movie, don't know his name, but he's on that 'campmeeting' broadcast thing, always asking for 'seed money' and telling stories about how people will get rich if they send him money; it's all he does, ask for money. Why he's allowed on the air is a mystery, and apparently he gets a lot of suckers, as he's been on the air for years. I'm surprised he's not running in the Democratic primaries.
He doesn't make 'ostentatious displays'; he's living way below his income. And you claimed 'he refused to shelter flood victims', which of course is just a lie you like to repeat. Jesus liked partying with rich people, and a rich man paid for his tomb.
Why would he consider those shitholes? Would you? Both houses combined cost less than 2% of his income from book sales. lol
You're just an idiot who likes to read tabloids and pretend you have morals.
Are you saying you live in poverty and give away everything you own?
You sound like an angry faggot.
Do you give all your money to the poor, Jake? My guess is you wet yourself and run away screaming when some bum asks you for change.
I lived in both Louisiana and Texas, and enjoyed my time living there.
No, I am not a saint.
Curiously interested in me? I live modestly and have modest material possessions, although I could afford more. Even if I had 50 million dollars I don't see myself buying extravagant luxury cars and mansions. I help the Methodist Church keep their public food pantry stocked and I give 20 dollar bills to homeless people when I can. But nobody is going to nominate me for any humanitarian awards, nor do I think I deserve them.
If you think it's good optics for a committed man of God, a pastor, a witness for Jesus Christ to be living a lavish and extravagant life of wealth and indulgence that's your choice.
