Jesus also said, "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheeps clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves." (Matthew 7:15). By Sheep's Clothing was he referencing wool, hence the $4000 Italian suits worn by the likes of Benny Hinn, Jim Baker, et al are a fulfillment of that prophecy??

Nothing upsets me more that watching those money grubbing jerks on tv. Ever watch the 700 club? They have supposedly true stories about how people that started giving them monthly donations suddenly had enormous increases in wealth and prosperity.
How anyone could believe that giving away money will help pay your bills, is beyond me, but i suppose some of these people are making decisions based on faith, not logic. I know an elderly woman who lives on a fixed income but gives $400 a month to tv preachers. As a result, she can barely afford her medication and groceries.
False prophets is about the nicest way to describe those crooks who prey upon the elderly, the poor, and the uneducated.

I think that the ones that wear such apparel are not for real.
I think that they have sold the word of God and made a real nice niche for themselves.
You named Bennie--One of the false prophets. Jimmy the same.
They haven't caught up with Bennie yet.
Now we have to look also at the Pope and all the cardinals. They also
wear grandiose clothing. I understand that a change of clothing for the pope is about 10,000. He has many changes. The cardinals have quite a wardrobe also. If we are to point fingers let us do it with fairness. So who then is to blame?
It is the people that support such shenanigans.
These people are just men--that is all. Where then shall you find the false prophets? In the churches, representing God----NOT.
They will not be out on the street corners. When you hear the word money--let the bell go off in your head warning you.

As a christian i mind about the big tree in my eye and ignores the dust in the eye of my neighbor.
I do not see any problem if these preachers are not stealing anyone or coning anyone.

As a Christian, you besides mght have the legal accountability to gown in a manner that befits a youthful minister.—2 Corinthians 6:3.

No, they are worn, because people keep giving these guys money. Who's the joker here....them for wearing 4k suits, or the people who give their money to let them wear them?
