Kenneth and Gloria Copeland
Kenneth Copeland was born in 1936 in Texas. In 1957 at age 20, Kenneth did have a hit with, Pledge of Love at number 14 on the national charts, and even one on local charts. So he was on his way to a successful singing career.
He met Gloria and all on the first date he asked her to marry him. They married and Kenneth came to faith. He went to work for Oral Roberts as co-pilot and flew with to various crusades.
After several months, on September 7, 1967, Copeland Ministry was established. The ministry continued to grow and in 1979 was the first time his TV program "Believers Voice of Victory” broadcast.
Now the program is broadcast around the world and the ministry has several international offices in Australia, Africa, Canada, England and Ukraine. The magazine "Believer's Voice of Victory" is sent to 600,000 subscribers in 134 countries sent.
He preaches the prosperity gospel, claiming that they will be blessed a hundredfold if you donate something. it will bring grist to his mill. People all over the world give a lot of money to his ministry in confidence that it will be well spent. Copeland puts much in his own pocket and that of relatives and friends, so all of a luxurious life to suffer.
Kenneth Copeland Airport is a private airport, founded by Kenneth Copeland Ministries. In 2007 Copeland was accused of using his 20 million dollar aircraft for personal vacations and friends. He had previously stated that it would be used only for the ministry, who paid for this aircraft, so no tax was payable .
1998 when he bought his second plane denied tax exemption was denied because Copeland refused to deliver the salary administration to.
He announces many errors.
So he announces that Adam was an exact duplicate of God, including size and shape. God is an invisible Spirit according to Bible:
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation Colossians 1:15
He claims that man is an exact copy and that man is like God also has the gift for words to create things to come.
The Bible tells us differently:
9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like Me, Isaiah 46:9
He preaches that power lies in the tongue. So what you say will happen. You have to proclaim positive he thinks, believe in it and you'll get it, whether you need healing or a better financial status, speak it out in the making. ( Word of Faith doctrine )
"Name it and claim it. Just confess it and you'll posses it. blab it and grab it! "
The titles of the many books he and his wife Gloria have written really say enough about his prosperity doctrine. Some examples:
-One word from God can: Change your finances
-One word from God can: your formula for success
-One word from God can: Change your health
-Blessed beyond measure
-God's success formula
-God’s will for prosperity
-Healing it is always God will
-Prosperity Promises
Kenneth proclaims that God has lost the dominion over the earth. He had dominion given to Adam and he has the power wasted to Satan. God is a just God and it would not be fair that when Adam's gift (the dominion over the earth) to another has given, that God would take it back.
God, according to Kenneth, is powerless to do anything on earth without the cooperation of man. God is spirit and needs a body to do anything on earth.
The Bible says, however:
16 O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, that dwellest between the cherubims, Thou art the God, even Thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth: Thou hast made heaven and earth.
20 Now therefore, O LORD our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that Thou art the LORD, even Thou only. Isaiah 37:16 and 20
On the audio tape "Spirit, Soul and Body" Copeland says: "Heaven has a north, south, west and east, then of course heaven is a planet."
On another audio tape, "Following the Faith of Abraham" he says even that there is nothing new. It is all a copy of home. It is a copy of the mother planet where God lives, He made a smaller planet like His and put us on it.
Furthermore, he states that God is half man and half woman which is something the Masonic lodge also teaches. This is not surprising when you consider that Oral Roberts, Kenneth's teacher, is a 33e degree Mason.
During the inauguration of the Royal Arch degree in Masonry the candidate is asked what you are and then answers the candidate: "I am who I am" What does Copeland say in 1987 during a broadcast of Believers Voice of Victory?
"When I read the Bible and God says:" I AM " I just laugh and say, "Yes, I AM, too."
Kenneth himself states that he is a god. This is what we are witnessing in many Word of Faith teachers like Benny Hinn who also encourages his followers to say "I AM, I AM," This is a term that both the New Age movement and the Freemasons use.
The Bible is very clear:
before Me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after Me. Jes.43: 10b
Freemasons are a secret society, who don’t want others to know who’s involved. Masons work therefore with veiled symbols in pictures, use keywords specific symbolic and secret handshakes.
On the cover of the audio tape "How To Build Your Firm Foundation”, by Kenneth Copeland is one of the main symbols of Freemasonry, namely the compass and three-cornered tear. Here he clearly shows himself to be a Freemason.
Be vigilant people, beware of the devil masquerades as an angel of light!
I had a lot of incriminating videos of Kenneth Copeland found, unfortunately they are all removed by order of him. This says enough.
