When one listens to Kenneth Copeland it
doesn't take long to see why many people
watch his television program. He is very
influential in his speaking, and he has
the ability to get people excited. Many
false prophets have the same ability,
but it does not necessarily mean they
are telling the truth. If you listen to
Kenneth Copeland with any amount of
discernment and biblical knowledge, it
will take a very short amount of time to
be shocked and disgusted by some of the
outrageous statements he makes in order
to get the listener excited.
He does this not to gain popularity as
an evangelist, or cause you to walk with
God. He does this to get you to send him
money. The quotes listed here, and the
false messages they teach, are so
ridiculous if they weren't so
blasphemous they would be laughable.
Kenneth
Copeland has taught the following
That
we do not have a god in us but that we
are a God.
“You don’t
have a God in you. You are one!”

That
Adam was God manifest in the flesh.
"God's
reason for creating Adam was His
desire to reproduce Himself. I mean a
reproduction of Himself, and in the
Garden of Eden He did just that. He
was not a little like God. He was not
almost like God. He was not
subordinate to God even. . . . Adam is
as much like God as you could get,
just the same as Jesus. . . . Adam, in
the Garden of Eden, was God manifested
in the flesh."
Following the
Faith of Abraham I, side 1
God is
the greatest failure in the Universe
"I was shocked when I found out
who the biggest failure in the Bible
actually is….The biggest one is
God….I mean, He lost His
top-ranking, most anointed angel; the
first man He ever created; the first
woman He ever created; the whole earth
and all the Fullness therein; a third
of the angels, at least--that's a big
loss, man. . .

God
lives on a mother planet
"Heaven has a north and a south
and an east and a west. Consequently,
it must be a planet."

"You
don't think earth was first, do you?
Huh? Well, you don't think that God
made man in His image, and then made
earth in some other image? There is
not anything under this whole sun
that's new. Are you hearing what I'm
saying? This is all a copy. It's a
copy of home. It's a copy of the
Mother Planet. Where God lives, He
made a little one just like His and
put us on it."

The
death of Jesus on the Cross did not
pay the price for sins
"It wasn't the physical death
on the cross that paid the price for
sin..anybody could do that"
What Satan saw
on the day of Pentecost
“Every
prophet that walked the face of the
earth under the Abrahamic covenant
could have paid the price if it were
a physical death only” “When he
said ‘It is finished’ on that
cross, he was not speaking of the
plan of redemption. The plan of
redemption had just begun, there
were still three days and three
nights to be gone through.”
“[Jesus] accepted the sin nature
of Satan in His own Spirit, and at
the moment that He did so, He cried
‘My God, my God, why have you
forsaken me?’.” “He [Jesus]
was down in that pit and there he
suffered the punishment for three
horrible days and nights for
Adam’s treason… There is a new
birth takes place in the very depths
of the earth, when the command of
God says ‘That’s enough, loose
him and let him go’.”
What Happened
from the Cross to the Throne
Jesus
was raped by homosexual Roman soldiers
everyway possible
"Let me tell you something folks.
Anybody in here that's ever been
sexually abused, listen to me right
now. Listen to me very carefully. The
bible's very careful about the way it
says these things. But down there in
that dungeon, Romans, ungodly men,
ungodly men, put him (Jesus) to every
kind of abuse that you can think of.
There is no sin that Jesus didn't
bare. There is no thing, there is no
such thing as a sexual abuse on
somebody that Jesus doesn't know
firsthand what it's all about. He's
been where you are, I don't care what
you've been through, Jesus has been
through it. And everything's done to
him that we we couldn't even speak
of."
The Resurrection
Truth
God
and Adam are the same size
God spoke Adam into existence in
authority with words. These words
struck Adam's body in the face. His
body and God were exactly the same
size."
Holy Bible,
Kenneth Copeland Reference Edition
1991, 45, emphasis in original
God
has no right to the earth at all, he
needs an invitation
"God had no avenue of lasting
faith or moving in the earth. He had
to have covenant with somebody. . . .
He had to be invited in, in other
words, or He couldn't come. God is on
the outside looking in. In order to
have any say so in the earth, He's
gonna have to be in agreement with a
man here."

Adam
looks the same as Jesus and God
"[Adam] was the copy, looked just
like [God]. If you stood Adam upside
God, they look exactly alike. If you
stood Jesus and Adam side by side,
they would look and sound exactly
alike."

Other
Teachings
"Adam
was made in the image of God. He was as
much female as he was male. He was
exactly like God. Then God separated him
and removed the female part. Woman means
'man with the womb.' Eve had as much
authority as Adam did as long as they
stayed together."

"He
[Jesus] is suffering all that there is
to suffer. There is no suffering left
apart from Him. His emaciated, poured
out, little, wormy spirit is down in the
bottom of that thing [hell]. And the
Devil thinks he's got Him
destroyed."
Believer's Voice

1991]. This message was originally
delivered at the Full Gospel Motorcycle
Rally Association 1990 Rally at Eagle
Mountain Lake, Texas
"That
Word of the living God went down into
that pit of destruction and charged the
spirit of Jesus with resurrection power!
Suddenly His twisted, death-wracked
spirit began to fill out and come back
to life. He began to look like something
the devil had never seen before."
The Price of it
All," Believer's Voice of Victory
19, 9 [September 1991]:4
"He
[Jesus] was literally being reborn
before the devil's very eyes. He began
to flex His spiritual muscles. . .
.Jesus was born again--the firstborn
from the dead the Word calls Him--and He
whipped the devil in his own backyard.
He took everything he had away from him.
He took his keys and his authority away
from him." (Ibid.,
4-6.)
"As a
believer, you have a right to make
commands in the name of Jesus. Each time
you stand on the Word, you are
commanding God to a certain extent
because it is His Word."
