T.D. Jakes Claps Back at Hater Over Ripped Jeans

Come for the Bishop's fashion choices and you might get burned.

Bishop T.D. Jakes doesn't take kindly to the intolerant — especially when it comes to his fashion choices. The popular pastor clapped back in the classiest way to an Instagram follower who had issues with his church attire.
It all started when Jakes posted a picture of himself leaving Sunday service in a sport coat and a hip pair of ripped jeans. "I want to thank One Church for a great service! Loved the atmosphere there. The presence of the Lord and the kindness of the people explain why Hollywood is buzzing about this young church and its rapid growth!" he captioned the picture.
Well, one of his fans wasn't exactly feeling the spirit. Dressed_2_iimpress commented, "Too Old for jeans w/ Rips and Tears! Aren't you supposed to be setting an example for your flock? No better way to show them huh..."
Jakes wasted no time putting the amateur fashion critic in his or her place: "Scripture please? I certainly want to comply with the word. I just missed the one about jeans in the pulpit..."
That should teach 'em.
