There is a far more insidious "religion" which costs huge sums of money to be initiated into the "higher" level. This "church" kidnaps its members, sues its critics hires P.I.s and more lawyers to spy and then defame you should you dare employ critical thinking when it comes to some wannabe "Commadore" whose image is saluted. It is THIS "church" which deserves some serious looking into. Then there is Sun Myung Moon who, like his science fiction counterpart, also employs thought control.
@zideffil good for you i must say that you researched. But i didnt find the same results you did. Jesus is mention in other ancient writings by those who did not believe he was the Messiah. Even Rabbis who despide him speak of their hatred towards Him. Keep researching my friend. I do believe not because of what others teach but that i did my research of the bible and not from all Christian resources
If one DARES to do as I did, and research the validity of the Bible yarns - when they were written and by whom, and all the skullduggery and ploys that went into forcing Christianity on poor souls unnder the threat of torture and death, one comes to the inevitable onclusion that the whole thing stinks to 'high heaven' right down to the fact that even today there is so much BS that goes on behind the scenes that one would do well to ostay as far away from it all as is humanly possible. Scandalous
It is odd that Christians never notice that we have tons of info on Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Ghengis Khan, various rulers of many countries, but yet, where Jesus is concerned, there is practically nothing. Even the yarn where he was crucified, like many in those days, it says that the tombs were opened and a couple of hundred people came out of them and wandered around. IF this happened, then it would be the most amazing thing ever, yet, there is NOTHING written about it anywhere.
@zideffil It could have been a hysterical hallucination on the part of the worshippers who imagined that they saw this and that plus dozens of people reanimated from the dead and ghoulishly wandering about like so many zombies.
@Nikolaii2571 Well, a Christian would say that the word of God is inerrant so if that's what it says, then they believe that it happened. In any case, if Jesus had done the miracles it says he did, he'd be the most famous man in history and if you put coming back from the dead on top of that, well, there would be scores and scores of literature about him. The thing is it didn't happen and if this is god's book, he does a shitty job of portraying himself for everyone to believe.
@zideffil There was an instance in the Gospels where Jesus was about to be crowned king for all the things he did, and he disappeared from the crowd so that they wouldn't be able to do so. The thing you have to realize is that it was prophesied in the book of Daniel that Jesus would appear to have done nothing at his first coming.. Why? Probably so that there would be this "church age" wherein men and women would have the opportunity to be saved.
@JetsKingPin You mean to say tht you actually believe the book of fables and children's bedtime stories called the bible? We usually outgrow the silly baseless yarns in it by the time we reach 10 or 12 years old. I just don't get it how some people are SO gullible as to believe in talking snakes, folks turning to salt, walking on water, the 'flood', which is downright impossible, and such stupid, ridiculous things. America is depriving its children of good education due to bullshit.
@JetsKingPin Is Jesus H. Christ gonna come again in the sexual sense? I mean, like, is he gonna fuck some sense into some women or something? I hope he doesn't come all over the whorin' place and get his jizm all over everything... I heerd tell he boinked that Mary Magdellan or whatever her name was and that she calved and the bastard child lives in France. Did you hear that, ever?
@JetsKingPin I was just clownin' around but, seriously, though... Jesus Christ and Daffy Duck and Porky Pig are all fictitious characters and the sooner you realise that, the better off you'll be. Take it from me because I KNOW, being that I was a lost Christian for years and years and it was only when I finally took 'god' out of the picture that things all started to make sense. We are on our own here and when we die, we die. That's it. Finito. Best enjoy yourself while you can.
Coals of fire heaped on Copeland's head is fine with me except that 'god' won't be doing it because, sadly, I found out that the Bible is nothing more than a collection of myths and tales for children - in other words, allegories. I read it cover to cover 3 times and compared notes with other books and spent a LOT of time and I found out that - snakes don't talk, people don't turn to salt, the flood could not have happened, and there is NO MENTION of Jesus that is credible outside of the Bible.
I didn't feel like going through all the comments to see if someone already said this but there's a little correction that needs to be made in the description. The love of money is the root of all evil and not money itself. 1 Timothy 6:10 states, "For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows."
@teddybears2011 I just saw your comment and I am practically in shock. There is actually someone out there who doesn't see through the thieving Copelands? Incredible! His show is SO STUPID and definitely geared to very stupid people. He is the most laughable evangelist thief on TV except that, although really, it is not funny when you see what he is doing to gullible folks. He is a lying swindler and a charlatan and I hope he gets what he deserves soon. A pitifull disgrace.
@zideffil "Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord, I will repay" "If your enemy hungers..... feed him, if he thirsts, give him drink, for in so doing you shall HEAP COALS OF FIRE ON HIS HEAD." This is all KC will understand. He has gone too far. Everytime I Bless him I see SHOVELS OF COALS OF HOT FIRE COMING OUT OF HEAVEN ONTO HIS HEAD. Tell the truth, yes. I'm just saying his time has come...
@teddybears2011 It doesn't matter if it's working for your family. It could still be vain philosophy, a doctrine of devils.. You may have fallen for the very doctrines more than one apostle warned would arise for the purpose of deceiving men. You're comfortable in your wealth but do you have an intimate relationship with God..
1 Cor 2:12-15" We have not recieved the spirit of the world but the spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us. This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritul words. The man without the spirit does not accept the things that come from the spirit of God for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them..." Ps 115:16
@hateloss9 There is nothing to not understand here. The Bible is full of silly, childish yarns that I saw through by the time I was 10 years old. Anyone who believes that snakes can talk, the ridiculous flood, that people can turn into salt, a guy can live inside a fish's belly is in need of a reality check. If this nonsense is not stamped out soon, it will be the downfall of America. I live for the day that the last stone will fall from the last church on the head of the last pastor.
well all I got to say, he's in error of the word of God to shame people for getting sick and telling them not to go cry to God for help and these things are said by copelands in there teachings. Jesus Christ has a judgement day coming and we all will see who; right.
The Bible does not say money is the root of all evil. It says the love of money is the root of all evil. 1 Timothy 6:10 Yes God wants me to be rich, if I have it God has it.
@neilandruthswedding Your right the gospel is about the lost being saved 1Tim 2:1-5, but it takes money to print tracks, bibles, to send missionaries to the field. If I have it God has it; Abraham lived this way. You should study Gal 3:1-14. What is the curse of the law or the blessing? Deut 8:18 28:30:1-20 Salvation is more than just going to heaven. Do we just ignore PS 112:1-10? This is not talking about heaven; it’s talking about here on earth. 2Tim 2:15, 3:16. I pray Eph 1:15-23 for you.
@Lifesnotforevery1 Did you take the time to actually READ what I wrote...What conceivable objection could you have to me stating that those who represent Jesus Christ should be above reproach ?If this is a sample of what the unbelieving public sees when they are searching for Christ, then it is no wonder at all that they are turned off .
if he is able to provide healthcare and welfare for every member of his church so that they do not have to go to the government taxpayers and then still be able to afford the lavish house and the jet planes, then I say more power to him. But I highly doubt that he does even if he has the funds to do so.
There's a miss conception about churches and taxes. Some people believe they don't pay taxes, but that's false. Churches are not exempt from sales tax, property tax, income tax, fica, etc.
@kalijasin preachers/ministers are called ot a higher standard.I'm not saying that pastors and missionaries should live in poverty and grovel for their daily bread...But the conspicuous consumption and unhealthy emphasis on material goods misleads church goers and when people like Copeland start to tell everybody that it is God's will for them to be rich, that is NOT scriptural...All of the ''stuff'' will one day burn or rust, won't it ?
@kalijasin I am fully aware that the Bible does not Proscribe wealth...some of the most famous people in the Bible were wealthy, but that wealth came from obedience and pleasing God, NOT sweet-talking little old ladies and people in wheelchairs out of their social securioty and disability checks...Were we to follow your argument to it's logical concluison,then the apostles would be abject failures because they didn't live in opulent mansions,they DIED horrible deaths for their devotion to Christ
@kalijasin I really don't see myself as judging...I call 'em as I see 'em. How some people can be so blind and incredibly obtuse as to not see how Copeland is fleecing his audience is beyond me. I grew around smooth talking crackers like Copeland and Hinn, I know the type. One thing to ask yourself is; Would they be so jubilant if they had everything taken away from them and had to live like the overwhelming majority of the people that underwrite their lifestyles ?
@roneyates I do my friend... everyday, which why I say if you believe televangelists like this guy then you've been deceived. You'd be much better off watching old time preachers like David Wilkerson or Paul Washer, you'll get more food for your soul.
@kalijasin Matthew 7 DOES talk about not judging...Quite possibly you should dig into Matt 7 a little bit more..let's say Matt 7 v 15 ''Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inside they are ravenous wolves''..Copeland fills peoples minds and imaginations with the FALSE idea that just because they are Christians, they have a RIGHT to be rich...It's the same thing of these individuals who claim that God's children have a RIGHT to be healed...NOT TRUE !!!!!!!!!!
@kalijasin Misquoted... it says after that verse to judge righteous judgements, to live godly and judge unrighteousness (in yourself first and then in others but in a kind manner).
@kalijasin I find it repulsive and sickening that charlatans like Copeland and Hinn go WAY beyond a modest living and use the gifts of God's people to underwrite OPULENT and LAVISH lifestyles, while missionary organizations and pastors and missionaries on deputation struggle and scrape to make ends meet...You need to take a hike to the top of Mt. Perspective and see these greedy jerks for what they really are...take away their toys and mansions and they would curse God
@kalijasin God has already begun to shake the bushes, so to speak...We as a country and the rest of the world are beginning to enter into world of hurt that will shake the very fibers of our economies and the core of our values and attitudes...All the money and toys these guys [ Copeland and Hinn ] have are TRANSITORY and will not last forever...AS ALL of us will have to do one day,we will stand before Christ and be held accountable for every penny he has entrusted us with..Very Sobering...
i find it cartoonish when i see the world trying to bring what God has establish down. You are wasting your time, if these preachers are out of line God will deal with them, and they know He can, and will. JESUS, the way, the Truth and the Life.
@gardener2020 I see it as more than ''cartoonish'' when Copeland hides his greedy and moneygrubbing ways behind a thin veneer of religious respectability. This guy is a charlatan and a fraud...and a despicable one at that. Wake up and see him for who he is. Does this guy fleecing well meaning but gullible people glorify God ?.Do you see on his website his palatial home and several expensive passenger jets...Makes me sick !!!!!!!!!!!
Copeland & these other guys ~ like Pat ~ Pat's just more up-front & an ECFA member ~ if I mite + ~ R sucessful business ppl ~ so they can afford 2 buy these goodies & still maintain a fine standing w/ the IRS ~ however ~ Copeland's obsession w/ planes & ministry dollars is a problem ~
It is very sad to see critics and jealous people always try to put successful people down. Kenneth is a role model to many people around the world. I am sure many will built a statue for Kenneth but I don't think anyone will be keen to talk about the jealous critics who always try to put people down since they can't achieve anything in life and are very miserable people all their lives. Kenneth you have sown seeds million times and sweet Jesus will bless you immensely.
@bobby12938 You have GOT to be kidding........critics and ''jealous people''.......Kenneth Copeland a ''role model''...you are deceived and deluded........So,just because I'm not a charlatan or feather merchant like Copeland.does that mean I'm not successful?I have been married to the same woman for almost 33 years,have two wonderful grown children,a home and a career......and I have a clear conscience,I couldn't lie as smoothly as Copeland does...You need to rinse out the head gear and wake up
blessedwithoutmeasur If you will read the comments that Grassley's office put out, then you would see that the investigation IS NOT over. Go to kennethcopelandblog com and read what is there about the investigation.
@tjae1 - Yes I had the same thing happen to me when I made a comment on one of their video's. They blocked me from posting anything on any of their video's.
I get a picture in my head of little old ladies writing checks for 10% of thier Social Security checks to dis basturd..(no I spelt that right) Dis guy rakes in more than Ozzy Ozbourne and pays"NO"taxes...WTF!
senetor gassley or who ever he was that was investagating Kenneth is well over ,They found nothing, as far as tax fraud or any thing else that was wrong with kenneth"s ministry, in fact they also found nothing in creflo"s ministry either,
@blessedwithoutmeasur If you will read the comments that Grassley's office put out, then you would see that the investigation IS NOT over. Go to kennethcopelandblog com and read what is there about the investigation
Hey thanks for the video. However, I'd like to make a correction to the description you've written: money is not the root of all evil per se, but the LOVE of money is. "For the LOVE of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows" 1Tim 6:10
Owning money is not sin, a normal person needs it to survive while on earth.. but when money is made a god, that's where the door to evil is opened.
Truthorfable.. when does the finger get pointed at you? You have never heard the Father, Jesus, Holy Spirit tell you to do what your are doing. You have never taking time to pray for hours, days weeks for any of these people. I know this. Have you tried to talk to any one that YOU think are wrong? Offer to help? You think Jesus is going to pat you on the back and say good job? Nope.. what did YOU do for Him? Visit the poor, help, pray or point fingers. You have a lot to answer for.. to Him
According to the properity gospel. If a blessed person like kenneth takes an offering from you then that opens the door for god to bless that person and they don't have to stay poor. So by taking the poor persons money it opens the door for the poor homeless person to get blessd by god and they don't have to stay poor no more. So I guess the prosperity preachers are doing the poor a favor by taking their money. Hope this helpls clear things up.
@mooncatch I'd love to see this smarmy little bitch doing time at a federal prison for all of his lies and deceit.............THAT would be a good day to watch him clean toilets and mop floors........one can hope,eh ?
@borecleaner1 too bad you won't get to see that day. if you truly wanna see him one day accept Christ so that you may come into Truth, Life and find a Way to make it into Heave. There you will see him. God Loves you:)
@gardener2020 I accepted Christ forty-five years ago at a Bible camp !!!! Stop and LISTEN to what Sen. GRASSLEY is talking about...A ministry that represents Jesus Christ should be ABOVE REPROACH and it is a shame that this fraudulent man would attract the attention of the U.S. Senate. IT IS NOT about ''persecution''...It is about adherence to tax exempt status regulations...so PLEASE stop pouring victim paint over this fool and others of his ilk
Kenneth Copeland is an anti-christ devil getting rich off the gulible. He is nothing more than a prosperity harlot selling his soul and the those of others for cash. God has judged him. Unless he repents, it will have been better for Sodom and Gommorah than he when he dies and stands before our holy God.
turning the house of God into a den of theifs.. sounds like alot of churches fit into that ranking.
they want to portray todays Jesus flying in a Jet, riding a cadlic and wearing the finest threads.. When Jesus himself said to "deny yourself and pick up the cross and follow me." I believe even the late Walter Martin tried getting a interview with him and he denied his request..
all you can do is pray for him and and others who are snared in his devil trappings.
One thing I can say to you from my heart TJ is that I have never been rich or craved wealth and I don't think you are the greedy sort either. Yes, we should pray for him and others who see the minstry as a means of great gain and try to exploit people.God bless you.
actually God's holy spirit convicted me of selling anything in church is wrong.that includes all.The gospel is for all rich, middle class & especially the poor. why should we have to pay royaltites on Bibles like the translaters of the NIV get?
I dislike that when we build these big expensive churches only to use a few services a week or in most one service.
The early churches was home based.
I would must better have a service in a old barn.this isnt why we come to God in the 1st place.
There is a far more insidious "religion" which costs huge sums of money to be initiated into the "higher" level. This "church" kidnaps its members, sues its critics hires P.I.s and more lawyers to spy and then defame you should you dare employ critical thinking when it comes to some wannabe "Commadore" whose image is saluted. It is THIS "church" which deserves some serious looking into. Then there is Sun Myung Moon who, like his science fiction counterpart, also employs thought control.

@kalijasin Matthew 7 DOES talk about not judging...Quite possibly you should dig into Matt 7 a little bit more..let's say Matt 7 v 15 ''Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inside they are ravenous wolves''..Copeland fills peoples minds and imaginations with the FALSE idea that just because they are Christians, they have a RIGHT to be rich...It's the same thing of these individuals who claim that God's children have a RIGHT to be healed...NOT TRUE !!!!!!!!!!

@borecleaner1 It specifically says in Mat. 7:1 "DO NOT Judge".

@kalijasin Misquoted... it says after that verse to judge righteous judgements, to live godly and judge unrighteousness (in yourself first and then in others but in a kind manner).

@kalijasin I find it repulsive and sickening that charlatans like Copeland and Hinn go WAY beyond a modest living and use the gifts of God's people to underwrite OPULENT and LAVISH lifestyles, while missionary organizations and pastors and missionaries on deputation struggle and scrape to make ends meet...You need to take a hike to the top of Mt. Perspective and see these greedy jerks for what they really are...take away their toys and mansions and they would curse God

@kalijasin God has already begun to shake the bushes, so to speak...We as a country and the rest of the world are beginning to enter into world of hurt that will shake the very fibers of our economies and the core of our values and attitudes...All the money and toys these guys [ Copeland and Hinn ] have are TRANSITORY and will not last forever...AS ALL of us will have to do one day,we will stand before Christ and be held accountable for every penny he has entrusted us with..Very Sobering...

i find it cartoonish when i see the world trying to bring what God has establish down. You are wasting your time, if these preachers are out of line God will deal with them, and they know He can, and will. JESUS, the way, the Truth and the Life.

@gardener2020 I see it as more than ''cartoonish'' when Copeland hides his greedy and moneygrubbing ways behind a thin veneer of religious respectability. This guy is a charlatan and a fraud...and a despicable one at that. Wake up and see him for who he is. Does this guy fleecing well meaning but gullible people glorify God ?.Do you see on his website his palatial home and several expensive passenger jets...Makes me sick !!!!!!!!!!!

It is very sad to see critics and jealous people always try to put successful people down. Kenneth is a role model to many people around the world. I am sure many will built a statue for Kenneth but I don't think anyone will be keen to talk about the jealous critics who always try to put people down since they can't achieve anything in life and are very miserable people all their lives. Kenneth you have sown seeds million times and sweet Jesus will bless you immensely.

@bobby12938 You have GOT to be kidding........critics and ''jealous people''.......Kenneth Copeland a ''role model''...you are deceived and deluded........So,just because I'm not a charlatan or feather merchant like Copeland.does that mean I'm not successful?I have been married to the same woman for almost 33 years,have two wonderful grown children,a home and a career......and I have a clear conscience,I couldn't lie as smoothly as Copeland does...You need to rinse out the head gear and wake up

Some of Kenneth Copeland's False Teachings:
"God has never used sickness to discipline His children"
"Jesus didn't claim to be God when He lived on earth"
"the New Age/occult techniques of positive imaging and visualization are for God's people today "
"It would have been impossible for Jesus to have been poor!"
"You're all God. You don't have a God living in you; you are one! ... When I read in the Bible where God tells Moses, 'I AM,' I say, 'Yah, I am too!'"
-- He does NOT teach the Bible!

Hey thanks for the video. However, I'd like to make a correction to the description you've written: money is not the root of all evil per se, but the LOVE of money is. "For the LOVE of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows" 1Tim 6:10
Owning money is not sin, a normal person needs it to survive while on earth.. but when money is made a god, that's where the door to evil is opened.

Truthorfable.. when does the finger get pointed at you? You have never heard the Father, Jesus, Holy Spirit tell you to do what your are doing. You have never taking time to pray for hours, days weeks for any of these people. I know this. Have you tried to talk to any one that YOU think are wrong? Offer to help? You think Jesus is going to pat you on the back and say good job? Nope.. what did YOU do for Him? Visit the poor, help, pray or point fingers. You have a lot to answer for.. to Him

According to the properity gospel. If a blessed person like kenneth takes an offering from you then that opens the door for god to bless that person and they don't have to stay poor. So by taking the poor persons money it opens the door for the poor homeless person to get blessd by god and they don't have to stay poor no more. So I guess the prosperity preachers are doing the poor a favor by taking their money. Hope this helpls clear things up.

GRASSLEY is talking about...A ministry that represents Jesus Christ should be ABOVE REPROACH and it is a shame that this fraudulent man would attract the attention of the U.S. Senate. IT IS NOT about ''persecution''...It is about adherence to tax exempt status regulations...so PLEASE stop pouring victim paint over this fool and others of his ilk

Kenneth Copeland is an anti-christ devil getting rich off the gulible. He is nothing more than a prosperity harlot selling his soul and the those of others for cash. God has judged him. Unless he repents, it will have been better for Sodom and Gommorah than he when he dies and stands before our holy God.

turning the house of God into a den of theifs.. sounds like alot of churches fit into that ranking.
they want to portray todays Jesus flying in a Jet, riding a cadlic and wearing the finest threads.. When Jesus himself said to "deny yourself and pick up the cross and follow me." I believe even the late Walter Martin tried getting a interview with him and he denied his request..
all you can do is pray for him and and others who are snared in his devil trappings.
God Bless

One thing I can say to you from my heart TJ is that I have never been rich or craved wealth and I don't think you are the greedy sort either. Yes, we should pray for him and others who see the minstry as a means of great gain and try to exploit people.God bless you.

actually God's holy spirit convicted me of selling anything in church is wrong.that includes all.The gospel is for all rich, middle class & especially the poor. why should we have to pay royaltites on Bibles like the translaters of the NIV get?
I dislike that when we build these big expensive churches only to use a few services a week or in most one service.
The early churches was home based.
I would must better have a service in a old barn.this isnt why we come to God in the 1st place.
