Pat Robertson had a net worth estimated at 100 million dollars

[calguy]

Who knew service to God could be so lucrative?

The New Testament quotes Jesus as saying in Luke 18:25, "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."

[MaryMagdaline]

1. Harder than a camel going through the eye of a needle ...

Or “you can’t take it with you.”

Wonder which verse he is contemplating now.

[newdayneeded]

12. The rich get to leave

their entire fortunes to their family. Zero tax. Those of us that have an estate of lower than 400k, well thats a different story.

[jimfields33]

17. Hopefully everybody has a trust.

It’s not a good idea to die without one no matter the estate.

[intrepidity]

2. Shameful.

A concept that only works for those capable of feeling shame, unfortunately.

[Permanut]

3. An amateur grifter..

Kenneth Copeland is somewhere in the $300 - $800 million range.

[liberalmuse]

4. He grifted from the poor and elderly.

If there is a hell, he should be in the 9th circle by now.

[sanatanadharma]

20. Nah! He is now on the first of the next nine miserable incarnations

Nah! He is now on the second of the next eight miserable incarnations.
See, he doesn't always get 90 years to turn around and face reality.
Now reality is kicking his butt, so to speak.
Ol' Pat is gone but Pat's comeuppance continues.

[Midnight Writer]

5. Praise The Lord!

[Aristus]

6. The verse that led to a flurry of sermons insisting that the 'needle' wasn't literal

but was a gate, or a door, or something that a camel easily can actually pass through, and that Jesus was speaking figuratively. This from people who otherwise say the Bible is the absolute literal truth, and interpreting it is heresy.

[MaryMagdaline]

10. I learned in Greek class that the best translation was CABEL going through a needle

which makes sense since a cable is much thicker than a thread and that translation would only strengthen the interpretation - Jesus said what he said. And yes, the rich never got over it.

[Comfortably_Numb]

7. Funny how "the Lord's work" makes these hate-filled grifters richer than the rest of their flock

combined. Assholes

[demigoddess]

8. such Christians values! NOT!!

[malaise]

9. Diamonds are a guy's best friend

So I heard

[Oneironaut]

11. "It is easier for a rich man to enter heaven seated comfortably on the back of a camel,"

than it is for a poor man to pass through the eye of a needle!” - Supply-Side Jesus

[cloudbase]

13. I'm sure he's leaving his fortune to a legitimate charity.

Or not.

[Hekate]

14. Matthew 19:21

Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

[LakeArenal]

19. Did the Vatican have that verse?

Cuz they got a lotta stuff!!!!

[The Unmitigated Gall]

15. Fleecing, er...shepherding, yeah shepherding the flock!

[kimbutgar]

16. I'm sure satan welcomed him with open arms!

[Mr. Sparkle]

18. He should be crowned King Grifter

its what most of the GOP dream of

[Johonny]

22. People ate cat food to save their social security

To give that bastard. Glad he's dead

[yellowcanine]

23. When one "spins off" tax exempt charities to for profit companies

the sky is the limit as to how much one can steal legally.
