Destiny Church's Brian Tamaki has been repeatedly criticised for his brusque fundraising style.

Controversial Destiny Church leader Brian Tamaki has attracted a torrent of criticism after posting a tweet on Wednesday suggesting Jesus would ask for money.

Tamaki's post said: Jesus spoke to a tree/fish/wind/water nd other things...i spoke to a $100 bill early in my life nd said "you nd all your whanau come to me".

Tweeters queued up to call Tamaki's suggestion "blasphemous", "evil" and "hideous".
