NO!

But when they make more than a quarter million dollar$, I compare that to Jesus' "salary"!!

Commercial air flights is appropriate. My late Pastor, Dr. D.James Kennedy, who was a TV "celebrities" like these "false" prophets, ALWAYS flew tourist class making sure to have a middle seat so that he could spread the GOSPEL to the passengers on each side of him because they did not stand a chance to run away from him!!

Jesus did NOT owned or used Lear Jets, etc., he rode a donkey!!!

Remember he cleansed the Temple chasing out all the money makers, saying "Take these things away! Do not make My Father's house a house of merchandise!", according to John 2:13-17???

I would certainly NOT be comfortable if my church was footing the bills to pay housing for a pastor's 4 children, like Joyce Meyer, and her likes, not talking about her extreme lavish lifestyle including paying housing for security guard

Federal law prohibits religious groups such as Meyer's from giving excessively to anyone who heads a ministry. Wall Watchers is asking the IRS to investigate several other charismatic televangelists as well.

While Meyer's previous salary is unknown, a recent series of investigative articles in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch revealed Meyer's ministry purchased for Joyce and Dave a $2 million home, a $10 million private jet, and houses worth another $2 million for the couple's children, who also work for the ministry. The articles also outlined Meyer's recent personal purchases, including a $500,000 vacation home. Meyer, 60, lives in Fenton, Missouri, near St. Louis.

I have a problem with anyone that teaches false doctrine and uses the Gospel to make lots of money. His lifestyle is so anti-Biblical and anti-Christ like that it is impossible to defend. He is simply living according to the spirit of this world, and not the Holy Spirit. I defy you to give me one example of any apostle or prophet that would support these Mega-church lifestyles. As I said, Hell is too good for these people.
