One wonders how many people choose not to become Christians after reading such stories.

I suppose MANY Jews, at the time of Jesus, chose NOT to become Christians because of Jesus' ignominious death on the Cross. I guess they didn't "get it"--that He died for our sins...for all time.

I guess he tried to “name it and claim it” but the lender wanted money.

John Gray has been a great blessing to me.

Are you a car salesman? A jeweler? Real estate agent? Lawyer?

I expect a good number of folks have enjoyed his blessing.

God can raise people to higher positions but many times it seems the people don’t handle the promotion well and fall to the temptations of sin.

To whom much is given, much is required.

Jesus didn’t buy his wife a chariot worth 200,000 dinarii following an “emotional” extramarital affair. If he had, then I would not be a Christian.

Pastors should not own the church real estate.

It is a potential direct violation of an inured benefit under 501 c 3 regulations

**A South Carolina megachurch led by celebrity pastor John Gray is facing eviction after another well-known preacher said Relentless Church wasn’t paying its bills, court filings show. **

So where is the money going?

In December 2018, Gray bought his wife Aventer a $200,000 Lamborghini for their anniversary. He later said he bought her the pricey car after having an “emotional affair.”

I'm a little confused. Is his wife's name Aventer? Or did he buy her a Lambo Aventador, and the author is just an idiot?

I don’t put Jesus’ crucifixion in the same category as that of the hypocritical “pastor” who bought his wife an expensive car following an “emotional” extramarital affair.

Yes, his wife’s name is Aventer.

What's your commission on the sale of a Lamborghini?
