Jesse Duplantis 1

There is one issue that makes so many TV Evangelists have a lack of integrity and not many people address this problem. Besides the fact that they have been "fleecing the flock" for years and many are nothing more than entertaining con artists, they have one more mistake to add to their dubious resumes. Most of them claim to have a doctorate. Consequently, most of the doctorates they have are honorary doctorates from Oral Roberts University. Proper use of an honorary doctorate is to have a notation beside your name that the doctorate you are claiming is honorary. My husband went to school for 11 years and received a genuine doctorate of ministry from a SACS accredited seminary. It aggravates me and completely disgusts me to see these people claiming education that they simply haven't accrued. Jesse Duplantis, John Hagee, Mike Murdock and others are no exception. They all claim doctorates they didn't earn from accredited institutions. Even if they were not asking for money, this one fact alone discredits them. If you are going to preach the gospel, you need to be honest in every aspect of your life, to include your education credits.
