student has well and truly hitched himself to the Hallelujah Crazy Train. Religious (non)reasoning is more nuttier than squirrel poo, but it's what fuels the ride.
The more he's questioned the more hard Jesus he goes. But that's cult think for you.
Instead of applying a little dose of healthy doubt as a useful tool to help avoid a complete failure in human reasoning, dubiety is superstitiously viewed as a test or threat by many religious folk like student.
The way religious peeps brainwash themselves to respond under those circs is to double down on crazy. Unable to apply their God given intellect in case their God disappears in a puff of reason.
Whatevers, just my view. Other than that I'm sure he's a most splendaciously decent dude. Just like you and I mickey

Just blame the Jews. Seriously, this guy has 50,000 followers, and is buying mansions. He's not curing cancer, he didn't win the lotto. He's just taking the monies from the tithing bowls. It's obscene.
Why are Jews the scapegoat? Because they martyred this stupid Jesus dude, and now everyone is being scammed by it.

You said it! They should make a movie and have Taylor Swift make a song and dance about it.
Exclusive Brethren family smash Epping record buying $7.5 million house

The family of Exclusive Brethren world leader Bruce D. Hales have emerged as the record $7.5 million buyers of a house in Epping.
The sale of the 1980s-built house on a vast 4116 square metres stunned locals earlier this year because the result was well above the $6 million guide, took just 10 days to sell and smashed local house price records by $1.75 million.

The buyer remained a tightly kept secret until settlement revealed it was purchased by Nerolie Hales, wife of Ox Tools global chief Dean Hales, who is the son of Hales Snr, known by his congregation as the Elect Vessel of the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church, previously called the Exclusive Brethren.

No finance was required on the purchase.
The wealthy Hales family are well-known locals who have long shown a penchant for some of the largest and most expensive estates in Epping and Eastwood.
The five-bedroom, three-bathoom house was built in the mid-1980s and sits on one of the suburb’s largest privately held parcels.Credit:
Hales senior’s brother Stephen Hales set an Epping record of $4 million in 2016 when he bought the heritage Blairgowrie mansion, and that was topped in late 2019 when Cameron and Rochelle Hales bought a six-bedroom mansion up the road for $5.75 million.
Dean and Nerolie are moving from Eastwood, where brothers Gareth and Charles, who sold their office design firm Unispace last year for $300 million, live in the same street as family patriarch Bruce Hales.
Bruce D. Hales is the global leader of the 50,000-strong Plymouth Brethren Christian Church.
The fundamentalist church – once dubbed an “extremist cult” by former prime minister Kevin Rudd – has been the subject of controversy in recent decades given its doctrine of “separation” whereby members are discouraged from forming friendships with outsiders under threat of excommunication. Formerly known as the Exclusive Brethren, the church does not allow members to vote, although leaders are politically connected, Liberal Party donors and have lobbied on behalf of conservative causes.
At the time the Epping property sold it was reported the buyer planned to create a family compound, rather than redevelop the estate, but those plans remain speculative given no comment from the Hales family.
On the face of it , this a great example on how evil hijacks and profits in various aspects of society. Looking forward to a deeper philosophical discussion.
If you're into real estate, you might want to consider exploring opportunities beyond your local market. I've had some experience with investing in property abroad, and it can offer some unique advantages. Not only does it diversify your investment portfolio, but it can also be a fantastic way to enjoy different cultures and locations.
