Pls read about the old churches.

Even Jesus didn't even bother about those mundane things because they're of less important.

In analysis there is what is called "Application of Judgement". This is where you try to use equal scale to measure things that are of different dimensions. In Jesus days, the means of transportation was Foot, Donkey, and boat. Did Jesus not use all of these in His Days? Donkey was one of the most expensive back then. Jesus was to travel from Bethel to Jericho-all within Jerusalem. He had trek longer distance before but He chose that "luxury".
The OP has done a good work of analysis. He mentioned very good factors to use to measure this expenditure/luxury. The size of the church, the spread of the church, the organisational structure.
It will cost more to use "public jets" than to use private jets in these circumstances.
I think as one said here
The children of Lucifer should be more worried about activities in the kingdom of Lucifer and leave the children of God to be worried about the kingdom of God.

It's just so shameful to see Christians argue about tithe and private jet. Paying tithe is a means of worshiping God and acknowledging the fact that He is the source of the blessings. Tithe can be compared to the tax we pay to the government just that we don't have agencies mandating it. The funny thing is that Freeze and his followers don't ever question what the government with our tax, the massive embezzlement of tax payers money, the o e which affects us all directly. One that has impoverished the people but they are all about pastors that have helped a great deal to reduce the level of evil through life changing messages. God help you all o.

one pervert sleeping with baby mama which is a useful tool in the hands of the devil to mislead people just stand up and tell you that all pastors and churches are fake, and you believe?

Nigerians are damn gullible, the freeze guy is only seeking attention by making non followers of christ to be his followers

""Imagine someone tells you that you should not pay tithe and offering, yet expect blessing""

According to the Bible, Tithe (10%) is to be given to widows, orphans, poor people, levites, and foreigners who have no land. Yet ur pastor have been hiding it from u , Everyday they will be reading Malachi 3 vs 10 to u, Are u that daft? Don't u own a Bible? Aren't u educated? Why aren't u reading ur Bible?

And besides stop talking Balderdash about getting blessings from God because u paid tithe,Agnostics, Deists, Hindus, Atheists who have never gone to church or ever paid their tithes are still the richest people in the world, far richer than u who pays tithe.

"What is the significant difference between a Private Jet and a Private Car?[/b] that makes acquisition of a Private Jet 'sinful' while the acquisition of a Private Car is acceptable"


This is the most stupid² assertion I've seen in a very long time.

I do not support the belief that churches should not own private jets, but for the sake of your statement, I'll clarify. There's a huge difference between air and land travel, and one notable one is cost. The cost of air travel makes it far different from land travel, secondly mobility, a flight needs more attention to fly whereas any Tom, dick and Harry can just buy a car and start driving, lastly a car can be drives at all times no matter the road but a jet is regulated by bodies because too many circumstances sorrounds its safe movement, weather, clash, mechanism, etc. They are too incomparable things, a private jet was never a necessity meant for everyone.

hardeycute:
Op your excuses for the usage and purchase of PJ by pastors is unfounded because I wouldn't know why they must be present all the time at the congregation.

Why Should a Pastor be travelling up and down when he is not a tourist or a global trotter? Is it to incline that your god authority is only with the few and the others can administer the churches?

The cost of a PJ+the maintenance is overwhelming in regards to booking commercial flights

Thank you HardeyCute
First I must commend your civility in raising your Objection. Well during the first years when Living Faith(for instance) bought her private jets. It was a single member who took up the cost of parking them before the church then decided to build her own hangars. I do not know which would actually benefit the church more between owning a Jet and actually flying commercial. But in the case where 8-10 people are to go to a particular place wouldn't it pay the church to use a private Jet rather than a commercial plane where they would actually end up paying millions also for commercial planes.

NtoAkwaIbom:
Flamboyancy.
Why do you have a private jet, whose cost of maintenance, fuelling, parking, etc far exceeds its use ?

Why not stay in a comercial plane and preach in there en-route to your destination.

When you own a private jet, with no business to run it (unlesz you are agreeing that the church is a big business) how will you run the plane ?

Wont you now leave the preaching of the kingdom of God and centre on preaching Tithes and tithes and tithes, so that the minister that came for service, instead of using his allocation to build a hospital for the people, will rather give you the 10% and keep the rest for himself.

But if you have a humble car, you will rather concentrate on preaching against the evils of the society , how politicians lie, how they use money meant for the people for themselves... How their act lead to the death of others, etc.

How many times do our G.O's preach these ? When its the big politicians that feell up tgeir front seat ?
Instead, they will hammer on how God will double and multiply the money you gove, knowing that 10% out of the budget for a ministry is enough to manage his private jet for a year.

I have heard many top pastors preach against Corruption on several occasions. How many of their messages do you listen to.

You quote things half half to suit yourself. The quotation on tithe been paid to everyone but pastor was not a regular tithe, it was a special tithe of the third year. Study that up to learn better.
As for the whole of Malachi been addressed to only the Priests; again you are doing half half quotation. The earlier parts of the quote was concentrated on the priests but the later part was to the people and it touched on many subjects. Do a complete study next time sir.

The first and most important calling of the Church isn't to economically empower anybody. Christians in Govt should herald that revolution and not necessarily the church as an Organization. The role of the Church is to preach and Unveil Jesus.

If your father is a pastor and he bought private jet will you said this nonsense

What did I just read

Statsocial:


Church(or pastors) own private car-it is not mundane
Church owns Private Bus - it is not mundane
Church owns Private Jet-it is mundane. How?

Lol bros na money dem take buy all of them o whether na Bus or Car or Jet they all serve same functions I.e to move people from one point to another.

Now don't forget the Question. What is the significant difference between a Private Jet and a Private Car? that makes acquisition of a Private Jet 'sinful' while the acquisition of a Private Car is acceptable.

The differences in this scenario are:

1. One works hard, saves money and buys a private car VS. Someone who makes false promises of heaven (which existence he cannot prove), extorts money from followers and use the money to buy private jet. That is, individual money vs. public money.

2. Private jet is a luxury and not a necessity in preaching the gospel. The only reason they use it the way they do is just to justify the purchase. Random vacation to sleep in five-star hotels at the expense of gullible followers is not Christianity. All the globe-trotting just to
preach for 1 hour?

3. The cost of maintaining the private jet is a colossal waste considering the fact that some donors are people who can barely afford three square meal. There is something inherently wrong when father, mother and children are the only anointed leaders of each sect. It breeds fraud by collusion.

4. Why has Christianity all of a sudden made money its foundation? No more talk of salvation, faith, love. Rather it is all about prosperity through miracles. Jesus performed miracles to heal not to make people rich. In all his encounters, Jesus seemed to detest rich folks and their insatiable appetite for material wealth for he said in Mark 10:25, "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God." How vivid can that message be?

NOTE: Pastors can make all the money they want. But it is fraud to do that under the guise of reserving a space in heaven for gullible followers who have been rendered helpless by the bad economic policies of the government.

I read your write up twice and I must confess I struggled to see any sense in it.




Of all the points you raised your attempts at justifying the stupid excesses of your pastors and god of men is laughable. You even said there is no difference between a car owner and a private jet owner. The pope still fly around using commercial plane and he's the head of the biggest church in the world. What makes your pastors better ? Perhaps their arrogance.



You also asked why critics didn't sell their cars and give the money to the poor. Brain farts is what you have. There is a planet difference between a man/woman who worked hard, bought a car and a pastor who cajole and threaten members with poverty to take 10% of their earnings in the name of tithe.

A Response to Freeze thread on private jets

/https://www.nairaland.com/4154132/freeze-im-after-prosperity-pastorsQuestion

and a question to him and his supporters by a Nairalander


By Ife Olaleye

Before writing on Why Pastors Use Private Jets can Freeze and his followers answer the question below for me as I see no difference between a private jet and a private car.


Can Freeze tell me the difference between a Private Jet and a Private Car?

My own response: To the people who use private cars, I tell you that you are of no difference from those who use Private Jets. If Freeze himself and his followers want us to take them seriously then they should sell off their cars to the poor and join the rest of us Nigerians to use BRTs. That is the only way they can prove to me that they are sincere about their crusade against Jets because who is to say Freeze won't buy a private Jet if he has the money to do so.

Now, If God would Judge Oyedepo and Adeboye for using private jets then don't be sure he won't judge you for using a private car when the rest of us are taking BRT. Why not use that money you use in buying Lexus, Camry and Toyota to feed the poor and simply use Danfo or BRT? (Sarcasm) It is amazing that even some Churches where they use Church money to buy Bus would come and criticize those who buy jets for international travels. The way today's people assess issues is strange. To them anything they can not personally afford must be unfair for the Church to procure.


WHY CHURCHES USE PRIVATE JETS
Pastors buying private jets with tithes and offerings is an exaggeration take to far

Out of the millions of clergymen who exist across the globe there is just an handful. Most likely less than 100 who own private jets. As a matter of fact the use of private or charter jets is usually restricted to top leadership of most ministries e.g Pope of Catholic Church, GO of RCCG etc. However the enemies of the church both within and without have made a storm out of a glass of water to create the exaggeration(lie) and make it seem all churches are just being self serving. Before I proceed into addressing the issue of private jets I would like to address another trendy statement


A Private Jet is Just a personal Vehicle like any other Private Car

A private jet is not necessarily or exclusively luxury like a yacht for instance. Corporations, Governments and Organizations do own it for operational purposes and a Church with significant presence in more than 20 countries should actually consider owning one depending on how centralized the leadership of the church is.

It would be unwise of Living Faith and RCCG to use commercial Air transport.

The issue of Private jets ought not to be a Controversy. If you have a local assignment then use a local means of transporation. The assignment of most Nigerians are within the country. Hence a bicycle/motorcycle would do for those in the core villages while a Car would do for those in the City. And for individuals like Oyedepo and Adeboye who have Churches to run in 65 and 193 countries then the use of private jets may just be imperative.

On my little research I discovered that Oyedepo travels about 5 times in a week and still makes it back in time for Canaanlands Sunday service. That can only be possible if the Church has a private jet. Now my own pastor was once stuck Abroad due to some issues with his booked flight hence he missed about two Sundays or so. However I am not saying my pastor needs a private jet because he only travels once in a year for his summer vacation and rarely travels for international ministrations as we do not have a branch outside Nigeria. But on the other hand RCCG owns about 700 branches in UK alone, the biggest church in East Africa is a living Faith Church. Other countries like Zambia also have huge Living Faith members. So why should a pastor of such a church not have a means to travel in a private jet.

I once saw Oyedepo at a 8:00 clock service in Landmark University in Omu Aran(via internet). So I thought did he leave Ota as early as 3AM or did he sleep over at Omu Aran? But I was told by an indigene of Omu aran that anytime there is an Helicopter hovering over town then they are sure Oyedepo is around(and he comes around Omu Aran often) so I knew he came with a Chopper that morning and left with a chopper that same morning. But imagine if he had to use a commercial airline for that. He would have to take a trip to Ikeja board an available flight to Ilorin(if they have an Airport) or Abuja and then begin a journey back to Omu Aran and hope there is an Available flight back Lagos. All that wahala for a 60 something year old man just because you want to preach in a 45 minutes service Kwara.

Five Churches that should actually buy Private Jets if they don't have.

RCCG
Living Faith
Mountain Of Fire Ministries
Christ Embassy
Deeperlife Ministeries.

Perhaps there are few global ministeries in the world that have planted Churches as much as these churches in modern Christian era and that is testament to the indispensable role that Nigerian Christendom has to play in the propagation of the gospel in the end times.
For these Churches they appear to run a very Centralized leadership and that is very good. Hence I would actually recommend the use of Private planes and Helicopters for easy conveyance of their top leadership.


On a final note RCCG as a Church is bigger than some countries (membership vs citizens) e.g Lesotho, Licheistein yet can we say that the presidency of such Nations disparages their poor by using private planes for Official purposes? If we won't, then why do we insist on assassinating the Character of these Noble pastors who never respond to people castigating them?

My poor brother, you that is wiser where has that wisdom taken you to? Use google to check on testimonies of blessing through tithing. I accept that we Christians are not under obligation to pay tithes. But I also agree that there is blessing in giving. Tithing for me is a good system or windom for me to sow seeds for my future. Be it to u according to your faith. There is a blessing for giving, whatever name you call it; there is no blessing for not giving whatever excuse you may have for it.

Someone just asked a simple question but we have not been able to answer.

What is the difference between private car and private jet.

1. A car travels on land while a jet travels in the air
2. A Jet is faster than a car

I believe these are the two main main reasons why the church buys a jet. SPEED and ACCESSIBILITY
So, is it a crime for a church to try and do their job faster and access places they are not able to access easily using other means.

Obviously, we know private means private. So, both private CAR owners (like some of the pastor's critics ) and private JET Owners are on the same pedestal in this respect. You want privacy and you want to save time that's why you buy a private means of transportation. So, on that one every private "whatever" user is "guilty" according to critics for trying to be "private".

Materialism and money mentality is the bane of this generation. It's unfortunate that some so called believers have joined the bandwagon of people who criticise the church blindly.

I heard Dammy Krane will soon buy a private jet. When, he does I'll see how many of these critics will come out to say, his mother, father, manager, cousin, sibling are riding cars but he's riding private jet. Are they (parents) not the one that gave birth to him, why should he ride private jet when they are still riding Toyota Camry. Common people!

Do we think if Oyedepo or Adeboye dies today, their children will inherit the private jet? Most probably, the next GO who might not necessarily be their children or relative will inherit the jets by virtue of their assumed position.

I'm not trying to convince anyone (�).

Please, let's fix our own lives first with God. A o gbodo j'oye eni ti o nso ori olori ti awodi gbe tie lo?

There's no blessing that comes with giving an unemployed 10% - 20% of what u earn for a life time.




I don't pay tithe.

I don't go to church.

I don't give offering.

But God keeps blessing me.





Meanwhile how much tithe did Jesus collect?

They don't worship the same God i worship and yet they think they know Him better than I do.

Mathew 26:7-13
A woman came to him with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, which she poured on his head as he was reclining at the table.

8 When the disciples saw this, they were indignant. “Why this waste?” they asked. 9 “This perfume could have been sold at a high price and the money given to the poor.”

10 Aware of this, Jesus said to them, “Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful thing to me. 11 The poor you will always have with you,[a] but you will not always have me. 12 When she poured this perfume on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial. 13 Truly I tell you, wherever this gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her.”

The heart of a man is desperately wicked. Why are you so wicked to think a man of God that preaches the gospel of Jesus Christ that I know should be poor. You can't preach that gospel, lay your life for your sheep, fast, pray effectively for years and be poor. Even if you choose to be poor wealth will follow you.

The prophet Isaiah prophesy this in Isaiah 2:2
In the last days, the mountain of the LORD's house will be the highest of all--the most important place on earth. It will be raised above the other hills, and people from all over the world will stream there to worship.

Some of you don't have a clue into what the church will be in this last days. See let me tell you, men of God will be very rich, church will be very rich. Presidents of nations will run to church, people will seek the church. Wealth will move massively into the church. Every good andd God ordained denomination will experience this no matter where the church may be located.

For some of you who think men of God live on tithe and offering. Ministry is a calling, if you are called and deliver the mandate God gave to you, you can't go hungry. I once lived with a man of God that has never collected salary from his church. But this man of God devoted all his life praying and fasting for the sheep and for the advancement of the kingdom for over 2 decades even till now. Now his converts and the people his prayer has worked for all round the world can not do without blessing him per day even if he says no.

Once you are called and the oil of God is on your head, queen of shebba will bring gift even when you never wanted it. Wealth, money, gift will follow you. So first forget about tithe and offering if you really want to attack the wealth of a man of God. You should fight the oil on their head that makes their prayer to be answered for years and still counting.

A Response to Freeze thread on private jets

/https://www.nairaland.com/4154132/freeze-im-after-prosperity-pastorsQuestion

and a question to him and his supporters by a Nairalander


By Ife Olaleye

Before writing on Why Pastors Use Private Jets can Freeze and his followers answer the question below for me as I see no difference between a private jet and a private car.


Can Freeze tell me the difference between a Private Jet and a Private Car?

My own response: To the people who use private cars, I tell you that you are of no difference from those who use Private Jets. If Freeze himself and his followers want us to take them seriously then they should sell off their cars to the poor and join the rest of us Nigerians to use BRTs. That is the only way they can prove to me that they are sincere about their crusade against Jets because who is to say Freeze won't buy a private Jet if he has the money to do so.

Now, If God would Judge Oyedepo and Adeboye for using private jets then don't be sure he won't judge you for using a private car when the rest of us are taking BRT. Why not use that money you use in buying Lexus, Camry and Toyota to feed the poor and simply use Danfo or BRT? (Sarcasm) It is amazing that even some Churches where they use Church money to buy Bus would come and criticize those who buy jets for international travels. The way today's people assess issues is strange. To them anything they can not personally afford must be unfair for the Church to procure.


WHY CHURCHES USE PRIVATE JETS
Pastors buying private jets with tithes and offerings is an exaggeration take to far

Out of the millions of clergymen who exist across the globe there is just an handful. Most likely less than 100 who own private jets. As a matter of fact the use of private or charter jets is usually restricted to top leadership of most ministries e.g Pope of Catholic Church, GO of RCCG etc. However the enemies of the church both within and without have made a storm out of a glass of water to create the exaggeration(lie) and make it seem all churches are just being self serving. Before I proceed into addressing the issue of private jets I would like to address another trendy statement


A Private Jet is Just a personal Vehicle like any other Private Car

A private jet is not necessarily or exclusively luxury like a yacht for instance. Corporations, Governments and Organizations do own it for operational purposes and a Church with significant presence in more than 20 countries should actually consider owning one depending on how centralized the leadership of the church is.

It would be unwise of Living Faith and RCCG to use commercial Air transport.

The issue of Private jets ought not to be a Controversy. If you have a local assignment then use a local means of transporation. The assignment of most Nigerians are within the country. Hence a bicycle/motorcycle would do for those in the core villages while a Car would do for those in the City. And for individuals like Oyedepo and Adeboye who have Churches to run in 65 and 193 countries then the use of private jets may just be imperative.

On my little research I discovered that Oyedepo travels about 5 times in a week and still makes it back in time for Canaanlands Sunday service. That can only be possible if the Church has a private jet. Now my own pastor was once stuck Abroad due to some issues with his booked flight hence he missed about two Sundays or so. However I am not saying my pastor needs a private jet because he only travels once in a year for his summer vacation and rarely travels for international ministrations as we do not have a branch outside Nigeria. But on the other hand RCCG owns about 700 branches in UK alone, the biggest church in East Africa is a living Faith Church. Other countries like Zambia also have huge Living Faith members. So why should a pastor of such a church not have a means to travel in a private jet.

I once saw Oyedepo at a 8:00 clock service in Landmark University in Omu Aran(via internet). So I thought did he leave Ota as early as 3AM or did he sleep over at Omu Aran? But I was told by an indigene of Omu aran that anytime there is an Helicopter hovering over town then they are sure Oyedepo is around(and he comes around Omu Aran often) so I knew he came with a Chopper that morning and left with a chopper that same morning. But imagine if he had to use a commercial airline for that. He would have to take a trip to Ikeja board an available flight to Ilorin(if they have an Airport) or Abuja and then begin a journey back to Omu Aran and hope there is an Available flight back Lagos. All that wahala for a 60 something year old man just because you want to preach in a 45 minutes service Kwara.

Five Churches that should actually buy Private Jets if they don't have.

RCCG
Living Faith
Mountain Of Fire Ministries
Christ Embassy
Deeperlife Ministeries.

Perhaps there are few global ministeries in the world that have planted Churches as much as these churches in modern Christian era and that is testament to the indispensable role that Nigerian Christendom has to play in the propagation of the gospel in the end times.
For these Churches they appear to run a very Centralized leadership and that is very good. Hence I would actually recommend the use of Private planes and Helicopters for easy conveyance of their top leadership.


On a final note RCCG as a Church is bigger than some countries (membership vs citizens) e.g Lesotho, Licheistein yet can we say that the presidency of such Nations disparages their poor by using private planes for Official purposes? If we won't, then why do we insist on assassinating the Character of these Noble pastors who never respond to people castigating them?

Mr bro, the hypocrisy of Nigerians reeks to the high heavens. Somebody will even say Jesus did not ride jet, why should pastors be riding jets. Am always eager to ask them if Jesus used any mobile phone, how come do hey have one! Their mindset of a man of God is a destitute who can barely feed and provide for his family. Yet it is written that you will lend to nations and not borrow, is it a destitute that will lend? why can't a pastor have a jet?
