Televangelist Jesse Duplantis Says He Lives in a Mansion with a $159K Rolex Because He’s Just ‘Acting Like God’ +Other Wild Heresies
Arch-heretic Jesse Duplantis, known for his love of filthy lucre and declaring that the Lord ‘flexes on him by ‘giving’ him a private jet, is a lost man. We wrote about him recently after he argued that if you don’t believe in the prosperity gospel as he does, one that has made him a multi-millionaire by savagely beating and twisting the scriptures for his gain for decades, then Jesus will tell you to “go to hell,” as you seemingly can’t handle all the riches that will be inlaid in heaven.
In the last few days, he claimed to be the fulfillment of messianic prophesies eternally associated with Christ, and said that Jesus wants to live inside of us because “we are just that good” and are “perfection.” Now, he claims that the reason he doesn’t get sick and also lives in a mansion is because God doesn’t get sick and lives in a mansion, and that because people wouldn’t get mad at God for wearing a luxury watch, they shouldn’t get mad at him.
And Duplantis does love his watches, being featured multiple times on Prophets n Watches.
Now, he explains:
So you’re mad at me because I’m blessed? Well, I’m just acting like my Dad. Because he’s blessed. You’re mad at me because I live in a mansion? I’m just acting like my Father. ‘Cause He living in a mansion. Don’t shout me down I’m preaching good. ‘Oh, well he just never get sick.’ Well, I’m just acting like my Father. He took my infirmity, bore, he didn’t- watch this- he didn’t want sickness on the flesh. Why? Because he dwelt in it.
…So you can say what you want. I think a lot, I think very good things about me. Let me say that again because some of y’all didn’t quite get that. I think a lot of good things about me because Christ in me the hope of glory. You call it bragging? I call it dwelling. He dwells in me and I dwell in him.
Some people get mad because I said something about a watch the other day. You know why? Because they don’t have one I guess. They don’t realize, would you get mad if you saw God wearing a fine watch? No.
…Let me read that St John 1:14 again: “And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld his glory.” Ooh man, that’s good. Now, (unintelligible) say we beheld his glory, in the flesh. This is not at the throne of God.
‘Oh, but that’s Jesus.’ Ephesian 5:1 Be ye therefore imitators of God, they should dwell”– they should be amazed at your glory. “The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld his glory, the glory of the only begotten of the Father full of grace and truth.”
He was the first begotten of the dead. You got a number? Where’s your number? Do you see what I’m saying? (Editor’s note, he’s saying we are the second and third and whatever number begotten of the dead, referencing Revelation 1:5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood)

I’m guessing if Jesus had need of a timepiece, He would wear a Timex.
