“Don’t forget to pass the box around.”
Avowedly honest televangelist Creflo Dollar today admitted that he’s a bit unclear about some parts of the Bible, especially the bit about the ‘love of money being the root of all kinds of evil’ which he says he doesn’t remember reading.
While celebrating the approval of his new $75m Gulfstream executive jet which he describes as ‘essential for carrying out God’s work’ Dollar spoke about some of the Bible verses that meant the most to him but was flummoxed when probed about certain other verses.
When asked about Matthew 19:21 “Sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven” he said he must’ve fallen asleep while reading that page and probably skipped it accidentally as he’s never heard of it.
Likewise the verses in James 5:1 and 5, “Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming upon you,” and “You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence,” Pastor Dollar said he was sick the day they covered that bit in Bible class and he never got around to reading it.
He then went on to say that he hopes to catch up on his Bible studies when he takes time out from his hectic preaching schedule.
He urges all his followers to each donate $300 to help fund his new Bible study retreat in the Caribbean so that he can read these passages in the kind of surroundings that God intended.
