Those Who Dont Spend All Their Money On Jim Bakkers Food Buckets Will Answer To God

While hawking his survival food buckets on his television program today, prepper pastor Jim Bakker encouraged the wealthy to buy a million dollars worth of his products because their money will soon be worthless when the End Times begin and the financial system collapses.

Guest John Shorey told viewers to stock up on Bakker’s food buckets and not to worry about running out because God will miraculously refill them as needed.

“When you empty a bucket of food,” Shorey said, “trust God to refill it.”

When Shorey told those who “have the means to buy 100 buckets of food” to “buy 100 buckets of food” and give them to local churches, Bakker chimed in to urge millionaires to buy as much food as they can afford.

“Do a million dollars worth of food, I’m serious,” Bakker said. “If they’re rich, their money is going [away] anyway, John. It’s not going to be worth anything. The crash is coming, so why not sow it into the Lord?”

Shorey agreed, adding that those who don’t use all their money to buy as much food as they can will have to answer to God.

I mean, don't they think they're due for a smiting? Or do they think they'll just be forgiven?

Jim, you're giving away your survival supplies for a pile of worthless money! What are you thinking?! Or are you just hoping your audience isn't thinking?

I wonder what the calue of his home is? Could he sell it and use the proceeds to buy food buckets which he can then donate to churches?

When you see a supposed Man of God living in a ritzy place, you know right off they are a xon artist. I have much more respect for street preachers dressed in ragged clothes then for people like Bakker.
