scandals oh this is going to be messy ain't it please keep in mind we will not be talking about certain allegations that have been floating around online in recent weeks all of you who expect me to address a lie you can log [Music] off but we were able to dig up a bunch of other information that we know your little messy self is going to enjoy before we jump into today's video we know some of y'all can't stand it when we plug our little snacky snacks but when I think of about my goodies it makes me want to stom you can't take my joy haters I'mma plug my snacks makes me plug my snacks makes me want to dance and stom and on that note turn to your neighbor and say scoop me up something to munch on from R snacks.com our online concession stand that has a an assortment of beef and bacon jerky butter toffee peanuts green apple Licorice and rrg coffee mugs the bishop has long been associated with the Prosperity Gospel Movement it teaches that the power of the Holy Spirit can be put to use for whatever the believer wants and that God blesses those he favors with material wealth Lord give me a million dollars huh expeditiously amen dating back to the '90s when his church was garnering more popularity people attempted to dig into The Bishop's finances at the time he was swimming in the profits from his books music plays and speaking engagements according to income tax returns obtained by the late oie Anthony Bishop Jakes and his wife Serita had an income of $1.6 million in 1996 chaing by the time 2001 rolled around the bishop told the Washington Post that he wanted to keep his current income to himself with his secretive ass but even Stevie Wonder Could see that the bishop was falling he and his family once lived in a massive estate near White Rock Lake in Dallas according to culture map website the Jake's family held an Easter Sunrise Service on the front lawn the website added one might think that drawing attention to where he lived was not a particularly clever move if you are any sort of a celebrity and people know your address well it's time to move ain't that the truth that was stupid Bishop Jakes sold the home in 2005 and fli led to a 15,000 ft Fort Worth Mansion 4 years later the location of his home was put on blast literally what happened girl on October 16th 2009 news outlets reported authorities were investigating an early morning explosion in the homes sun room thankfully no one was injured as for his desire to live in mega mansions Bishop Jakes told belief net website anybody who has sold 8 million books shouldn't have to justify why why they live in a nice house an Instagram account called preachers and sneakers puts Bishop Jakes and other Evangelical pastors on blast by identifying their luxury purchases in one post Bishop Jake is spotted in a pair of $700 fendy sneakers in another post he's carrying a Louis Vuitton bag that has a price tag of almost $22,000 Ching Bishop Jake told belief net website that his nonprofit organization which produces his cont es and television Ministry is largely supported through sales of his products he added so the stereotypical idea that the Evangelist is out there trying to get money from poor widows and Welfare people to support his lavish lifestyle that model does not fit my life ties and offerings from his congregation paid off the church's $45 million mortgage good God Almighty so members were aware of exactly where all of their money was going while Watchdog groups are still demanding that he make the ministry's financial information public Bishop Jakes has stated he's only interested in complying with the IRS and that's on Mary had a little lamb okay some of his biggest controversies came courtesy of his own children oh hell including when his daughter Sarah got pregnant at the age of 13 in his book crushing God turns pressure into Power Bishop Jake shared that at the time he felt like her pregnancy was the worst thing in the world considering he was a prominent Pastor whose life was underneath a microscope Sarah went on to get married twice and is now the mother of three children by three men Fix It Jesus and then in 2009 The Bishop's son Germaine was arrested during a Dallas sting operation in a park Lord here we go here we go according to the police report Germaine walked directly over to a male undercover cop and stood next to him with his dangl Lang standing at attention through his un unzipped pants I know you lying the arrest fueled speculation about Germaine's sexuality the bishop later addressed the allegations by saying in a world where we all have to live together I think everybody has a right to pursue their own life and their own beliefs and their own passions and that's what makes this country great the hell he talking about Bishop Jake stop deflecting now we talking about Jermaine dang Lang and why he got it out in a public park that's what we talking about the hell he talking about while some may argue that parents can't control everything their children do others advise everyone to turn their Bibles to 1 Timothy 3:5 the scripture reads take your time take your time preach on it now for if a man know not how to rule his own house hallelujah how shall he take care of the Church of God hallelujah it now Hallelujah yes and of course Germaine's arrest also put Bishop Jake's sexuality in the spotlight say what now it's that lisp ain't it it's the lisp I'm trying to tell you you can't trust the lisp first time Bishop Jake said Potter house I said uh-uh uh-uh something ain't right a writer for the Windy City Times wrote some in the African-American Community say Germaine is intentionally flamboyant and sexually Reckless to publicly deride and embarrass his homophobic dad but there are others in the community who say Germaine is just like his dad but that the son is not hiding behind a stained glass [Music] closet along with other religious leaders such as Bishop Eddie Long Bishop Jakes has been very vocal about his decision to stick to the scripture on topics pertaining to samex relationships Bishop Jakes told USA Today to date I have not seen scriptural Authority that allows me to stand on behalf of God and say I Now pronounce you husband and husband and wife and wife he has also described homosexuality in men as a spiritual Brokenness and cited some of the causes as long-term imprisonment absentee fathers and abuse in 2005 fed up with black preachers who constantly have negative things to say about the lgbtq community activists Keith boyin and Jasmine kenik KCK off a five-part series called outing black pastors L this is getting messy in the series Keith and Jasmine wondered if the Bishops were constantly condemning gay people because they themselves were struggling with their own sexual orientation Keith and Jasmine started soliciting information about the pastor's private lives in order to prove their Theory according to the telegram they were able to collect uncorroborated tips but were unable to obtain any solid information to confirm if the Bishops Were Gay 6 years later due to circumstances unrelated to the investigation multiple men came forward to claim Bishop Eddie long had inappropriate relationships with them so Keith and Jasmine were definitely on to something and don't worry besties we're going to explore the Eddie Long topic a bit further in an upcoming video look at God during a 2015 interview with Huff Post Live Bishop Jake appeared to have a change of heart when he was asked about the Black Church's role in ministering to gay people he responded that things were evolved and evolving regarding his approach to his ministry to gay people several Christian Media Outlets re-shared the article and The lgbtq Advocates cheered his Newfound stance on gay rights while those in the church Community were completely baffled to clear up the confusion he took to his Facebook to State he was shocked that people twisted his words to say he endorsed same-sex marriage he added my position on the subject of samesex marriage has been steadfast and rooted in scripture he went on to unleash his Venom toward lazy journalists who misconstrued his words he received over 600 comments on his Facebook post from those who applauded him for setting the record straight but others called BS BS BS shut your ass up T BS B to the S BS one online user responded no one Mis constru nothing you said what you said why is it that these pastors don't evolve when it comes to the collection plate another commenter wrote he should have said then and there that homosexuality is wrong and so is same seex marriage he didn't say it on purpose it's what you call Double talk for years Bishop Jakes has dodged allegations that he preaches modalism also known as Oneness Pentecostalism the what a what we'll try to break this down as as best as we can modalism is a heretical view of God it denies that there are three distinct and co-eternal persons in the godhead instead it teaches that the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit are one and the same person though manifested in different roles modalism has been rejected and condemned as an unorthodox teaching by the early church councils Bishop Jake's Divinity school's faith statement boldly reads there is one God creator of all things infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three manifestations Father Son and Holy Spirit would you say it's one God manifesting himself in three ways or one God in three persons I think the latter one is is where I stand today one God three persons no one God three persons one God three persons because of this evangelicals have been concerned with The Bishop's teachings a website called the gate summed things up by saying this is a serious error that is attempting to creep into the church unnoticed modalism is more than just an elephant in the room it's a dangerous false doctrine that Evangelical Christians should be very careful to avoid in honor of Father's Day 2022 Bishop Jake decided to go for the jugula during his sermon he argued that today's women aren't applauded for embracing their femininity as society's culture now idealizes women as being too independent he went on to say this breaks all the sociological order of the culture we are living in now because we are raising up women to be men he need his ass beat as he continued speaking to his female congregation he said that today's women are being applauded in society for how tough rough nasty mean aggressive hateful and possessive they are no he didn't maybe we just matching the energy from some of these men out here Bishop he added that women are climbing the corporate ladders all while losing their families as his sermon made the rounds on social media people wondered how he managed to turn a Father's Day sermon into an opportunity to bash women long after his sermon sent shock waves through the internet many people were still confused by what he was actually advocating did he want women to return to being barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen did he think women were incapable of holding high-paying jobs all while taking care of their families a writer for Yahoo news sum things up quite nicely by stating he had the opportunity to use his Father's Day message to celebrate excellent black fathers or encourage black men struggling with fatherhood instead he chose to use a portion of his sermon to focus on berating black women sit your ass down now TD you and that lisp need to sit down okay sit your ass down in 2023 with a desire to create more black homeowners he announced he was developing a community of mixed income housing and Retail facilities on 95 acres of land next to Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta while some applauded him for his desire to create affordable housing some online users gave him a bombastic side eye but come to find out Bishop Jakes wasn't funding the project entirely himself Wells Fargo stepped up and committed up to $1 billion to fund the development in a 10-year partnership with the bishop the bank's involvement in the project is what really ticked people off just one year prior a class action lawsuit was filed against Wales Fargo with allegations of discriminatory Residential Mortgage policies and lending practices against its Black customers more allegations emerged when Black customers accused the bank of lowballing black homeowners appraisal values many people wondered if the bishop was being used in the bank's attempts to distance itself from the racial discrimination allegations others wonder why the bishop would even bother partnering with a company that was accused of treating Black customers so poorly although he might have good intentions something at all boils down to The Bishop's desire to line his pocketbook with more cash one person on an online Forum wrote if his parishioners had left their ties in their pockets in the first place instead of forking over millions to this fool so he can buy multi-million dollar homes jet planes and rolls-royces maybe they could afford to own houses period poo boom to everyone one's surprise Diddy and Bishop Jake have been thick as thieves for a minute L here we go here we go in an Instagram post the bishop revealed he had known Diddy for quite a few years but 2017 was the first year they were able to spend an evening getting really acquainted with one another Diddy invited the bishop to his home where they had an elegant dinner from there it appears that their bond deepened say what now say it deepened girl come on hurry up and explain now hurry up and explain hi Diddy said in an online chat that in 2018 his life took a turn into complete darkness that was the same year his girlfriend Cassie walked away from him once and for all his children's Mother Kim Porter passed away unexpectedly and some other undisclosed things just weren't going right in his life Diddy turned to The Bishop's sermons and they gave him strength Diddy arranged Kim's funeral and Bishop Jakes officiated the service did Kim even know Bishop Jakes did Bishop Jakes even meet Kim why just see seemed like two men came together to lay a woman to rest that don't seem strange to y'all this don't feel right from there Diddy was spotted at some of the Bishop's church services and in 2021 they took their friendship to the next level girl what level the penthouse in a joint video chat Diddy reiterated how The Bishop's sermons brought him out of a dark place Diddy stated he wanted to bring that same sense of hope to people worldwide by giving the bishop his own show on his Revolt Network called Kingdom culture with TD Jakes Diddy said a lot of kids think it's cool to spark a blunt in front of people but they won't nod their heads to pray in front of those same people now we want to make God cool make yourself cool are you cool with God ninja he God he cool he don't need you n you need him God we go the great Diddy want to make this ain't going to be good y'all I'm telling you right now this ain't going to be good this ain't going to be good baby didy stay in your lane TD stay in your lane Jakes need to stay in the pool pit and did they need to be at the altar now that's how this need to be set okay that's where he need to be and stay for a long time stay down there Diddy we'll tell you when you can get up many people questioned why the bishop would partner with someone who has lived a less than Godly life did the bishop and Diddy have more in common than people realized the Bible says this in in 2 Corinthians chapter 6:14 we should know this he says do not be bound together with unbelievers for what partnership have righteousness with lawlessness or what Fellowship has light with Darkness that's an issue you have fellowship with these people so much that when they come back and bite you like they do each other you have no recourse because you should not have been there with them in the first place or it says what Fellowship has light with Darkness or what Harmony has Christ with bow or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever it may be that you all have everything in common I don't know according to your Doctrine you probably do have everything in common in addition to Diddy's career of creating secular music as well as his worldly lifestyle that led him to Father multiple children out of wedlock people were Beyond puzzled by their friendship and their new Business Partnership girl I'm not puzzled I'm flat out confused okay I am confused girl while online users begged the bishop to reconsider the new Venture the bishop going to do what he want to do he moved forward with his program on revolt and his friendship with Diddy has remained strong ever since so we really not going to talk about them other allegations you just going to skip right on over there huh oh okay girl okay if you enjoyed this video let us know down below
