Ironically, the Prosperity Gospel, formerly known as Simonism, is the number one reason why the Protestants split up from the Catholic Church in the 16th century, through dreadful wars across Europe.
Him responding to the reporter was beyond scary. He flipped on her then caught himself with that awkward smile and laugh.
I thought the same thing. I'm glad that brave woman stood her ground.
Brave? 🤔Maybe, but remember she's not there by herself.@@davidhutchinson5233
Love how he totally dismissed the question and changed the subject… his eyes are also super creepy.
Right 😅
Walking demon
I'm a Christian and I see nothing but pure evil in his eyes. It's frightening. I'm seriously not sure how he amassed so many followers.
People are sheeps
Ya don't have to be christian to see that..
I don't believe in anything supernatural, but looking at that guy makes me think he might be an actual demon.
Witchcraft
Desperation
In the Inside Edition interview, he tried every manipulation tactic there is. Anger, flattery, deflection, distraction, you name it. This man is truly scary.
only if you see right through the bs. look at how many times he had to literally put the mask on because the anger and hate kept flaring. that man is evil.
and sick
Not defending this guy at all but the reporter was terrible, interrupting him and nothing g than jealousy! Some of his responses were actually biblical! Let me know in which grave Jesus was buried? In a grave that a RICH man (disciple) owned.
Look up Galatians where there's a contrast between works of the flesh and works it the spirit ( Of God) which one describes him
Satan hides behind many masks! We are in a battle between demons and the saints! Deception is the trap, be discerning and courageous!
That inside edition reporter is awesome! She went right back at him. And she wasnt afraid of him one bit. She wasn't fooled.
When he pointed his finger in her face in anger--😳his demon came out through his eyes.
Exactly. A lot of pastors are that way. That's why I cannot understand why they criticize Satanists, or the devil. They're devils themselves 😂😂😂
What a telling moment! He sure looked like one…the demon.
That look gave me a shiver.
I know! If I were there and he done that to a lady in my life his age wouldn’t save him
See the mama in me would've come out! WHOOOOO the hell are you pointing your finger at sir???!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Shoutout to the reporter who kept her professionalism and her focus asking questions even though she was interviewing the creepiest man. Gives me chills just to look at the whole scene.
Except the comment, "Some people would find that offensive.", she was cool.
Being offended isn’t a probleem, as long as you don’t expect people to care or bend over backwards.
Reminds of Gayle King and R kelly ... they both deserve their props🎉
I have seen that interview probably 10 times and it absolutely gives me chills every time. He just seems... demonic.
It was not an interview, though. It was a “guerrilla assert”. She used well~worn approaches perfected by gallery-fetching press pros, prodding Copeland with the more salacious and incriminating queries, nary giving and ear to his responses. While his seemingly self-indulgent practices are circumspect, so are the reporter’s. “Geesh,” says one of my friends, “both are just doing their jobs, right?” 21:11
“Tube of demons” still stands as one of the most epic phrases of all time and is definitely the most unhinged way to describe an airplane 😂
Tin can of farts
Maybe he knows a few demons in the tube?😂😂
He isn’t wrong, lol)
He was trying to justify why he needed his own personal plane. And these fools that follow him. Buy his bs. And keep on giving him money. Smdh
@@sergeyd2199 he isn't wrong? How so? Lol
Why anyone would donate to a church with a pastor who has a net worth of 700 million is beyond me. Hell, why anyone would attend a church with an obscenely rich pastor like that, is beyond me, as well.
Can't fix stupid
Me too. I can't get over how he STILL has followers
Also, why does a pastor even have that much money ?
No one will ever convince me that Kenneth Copeland is anything other than a demon wearing a human suit.
Ill fited human suit
Yup, he's definitely led by the devil.
You were right ON TARGET about that one, LOVE IT! ❤😂😂😅😅
Not just one demon. Copeland is absolutely infested with them.
@@pinkishpoo Exactly, that skin suit fits him like the bug guy from Men In Black.
He's the kinda man that doesn't need to open his mouth to give me bad vibes
the eyes and the finger pointing to that reporter THEN SUDDENLY SMILE, omg
Very cringe 🙄😮
Plainly that is a depiction of evil. Yet again the Bible stars in Isaiah 45:7 :god created evil”🤷🏾♂️
I agree 💯
@@AccentYouLovingheart He sure did. Otherwise, how would anyone learn anything if it wasn't for the bad experiences? You simply cannot learn from good experiences alone. I always asked myself why evil exists, until I have reached the very bottom just to find myself asking God to help me with my struggles. And He sure answered me, which I am forever grateful for. I understand certain people have opposite experiences, that is also the case, but I guess bitterness in some instances has taken over their lives, or as the Bible refers, their hearts are hardened.
"I need to spread the good word to ungodly people everywhere, except in a commercial flight"
His facial expressions are downright maniacal.
I attended Oral Roberts University. It was a ridiculous experience that I still can't fully believe. This asshole was often on campus and I met him several times. I can tell you - from first hand experience - this man gives off the most evil vibes I've ever felt. You need a shower after being in his presence. It's a sensation that is so heavy and dark that you wonder if you're actually having a medical issue. It's hard to describe. But truly, you feel like you've entered a black hole when he's nearby. I don't understand why people follow him!! There is nothing light, free, hopeful or loving about him.
I went to ORU as well. My condolences.
Ewwww! That sounds awful. You can even feel it through that interview with Inside Edition. 🤢
He sounds like a con artist
@@tashamreynolds - before or after "money cometh" chapel? man, what a crazy four years those were. Hope you're well and happy now!
This is exactly how I feel about him only looking at the screen. He is scary af.
This dude is legit built like a pixar villain. Not even because of his looks, but because of the sincere anger and condescension in his eyes at all times. He's a genuinely scary person, and as a Christian myself i've always been curious to learn about him. Looking forward to watching this--your vids are lovely.
kirby, I can't look at his face when he is speaking. I just see something that I can't quite explain but I can't look. Personally, I think these TV multi-millionaire "men of the cloth" are sociopathic/psychopathic. Master manipulators. Mass manipulators. As with Bakker and Swaggert, i bet some of them have sexual indiscretions that have been paid off with God's money. I don't want to judge because we are not supposed to but we are supposed to call out what we feel is wrong.
Yep. He looks totally normal until you see his eyes. Soulless.
He's just evil.@@user-ue7cw2tx4m
Petty sure he’s a reptile 😅
Another excellent video on him is by Christian Video Vault. He breaks down how completely wrong Copeland’s theology is (he believes he is a god)
It is mind-boggling how people are prone to his nonsense and hypocrisy.
This is the first time I have seen Copeland when he was younger. He reminds me of an article I read many, many years ago, about a man in his late seventies who was caught by police with the largest child pornography collection ever found. Accompanying the article was a series of mug shots of this man, from his early twenties to his present age. When this man was young he was average looking, as his age advanced his face started to show signs of the rot inside him. The last photo of this man was scary, very close to a typical demon face. When I saw the Inside Edition interview for the first time, when he got into the reporter's face, Copeland looked crazy, even when he smiles he has a sinister look to his eyes. Copeland is a terrifying man.
There is a book by Oscar Wilde called 'Dorian Gray', worth reading, it is about the ways a man visually changes because of the life he lives..
I had the same thoughts, twisted and evil he became.... His face telling that story
I’m a Christian but he gives me the complete creeps. 😳 He’s the face of greed and manipulation and is one of the reasons why people think Christians are nuts. How do people follow him?? Well done documentary, by the way!
As a non-religious person, I don't get why Christians still bother with churches and pastors, since the ones who aren't scammers or pedos seem to be the outliers nowadays. If God is everywhere, why not just pray to him directly?
@@blondbraid7986 speaking for myself alone, attending church on a Sunday, for example, is for the fellowship and almost feeling nearer to God. That’s just Sundays though…and I’m not a perfect person that attends every Sunday by any means. I pray directly to Him more than I’m in a church service. Not all preachers/pastors, etc. are bad people but there are enough bad ones to make them all look that way, which is unfortunate.
They follow this guy for the same reason people follow Trump. It’s a CULT 😮😢😢😢
The church as it’s constituted right now, is anti-christ in nature.
they are irrational to believe the ARK to start
12:58 "Kenneth and Gloria's primary residence on the property is an 18,000 sq ft mega-mansion with six bedrooms, six bathrooms, crystal chandeliers and a sweeping spiral staircase... just like Jesus had" That was beautifully timed and delivered - well done!
i caught that myself..
i chuckled
Money is not the issue. It's the way they are accumulating it
Look at Joyce Myers , she has an entire compound with several houses and with 24 hour security inside an entirely gated and walled enclosure, what do you think that cost ? All for Jesus. It really is disturbing and insulting to the true believers who struggle through everyday life and still help others with meager resources and faith, something these rich preachers are definitely in short supply of ! What Jesus said to the rich young man applies to them today as well Matthew 19 : 16-21 especially verse 21.
@@wbharvey504of course it isnt, but having people give their wedding wings and watches? Greed. That's a sin last i remember..
“Religion began when the first scoundrel met the first fool“.
That’s like saying science began the first time an intellectual thought he could outsmart a demon
@@mad3979lol, believe that
How he still has a ministry is beyond me. Other pastors/preachers have been sat down for way less!
What's deeply unsettling about Copeland is that if you wanted to cast someone as satan in a film, Copeland would be your first choice. He looks and sounds exactly like what a stereotypical satan would be. So it's strangely ironic that he also acts as if he is satan but professes to be the opposite. Essentially satan is hiding in plain sight but not even trying.
Wolf in sheep's clothing...
I've heard some Christians say he is demon-possessed and I think that is a strong possibility, though it's possible that it's just his rampant greed and overall evil character that make him seem that way. It's such a shame too, because had he not gotten drafted, he may have become a pop star and avoided all of this harmful nonsense instead.
Director of a new horror movie: "I want kenneth copeland to play satan in my movie. Nobody else. He was born for the role." 😄🤣😁
I mean, it's a famously common thing....
@@jacobeiler1781 That's true. He would almost certainly be less evil if he was a successful pop star...
The fact that he quit his job to open a church because he needed money is all I needed to hear.. his intentions was never about helping anyone it was helping himself.. even if it means conning church goers.
There was another guy who decided back in the fifties that the only way he'd ever get rich was by starting a church. I'm not sure whether Scientology or Copeland Ministries is richer (since they don't have to file audited accounts, nobody outside the organisations will ever know how wealthy they are), but I do know that L. Ron Hubbard was a manipulative sociopathic a-hole and Kenneth Copeland is exactly the same type of scumbag.
Church is a business. Not about winning souls to Christ
The devil in flesh 😈
Church is scam
@@sandrawilson6031😂
I live around 20 min from his compound in Newark, Tx . His compound has security that look like military . Locally IMO most people seem to think he's a phyco.
Thay smile with the quote about powers and principalities would put the Joker to shame
When I was in my late teens I wrote to Copeland ministries and asked for prayers, or any kind of assistance because I was struggling financially. I received a letter requesting money from ME (with vague promise of blessings if I did) and a self addressed pre-paid envelope. I was 18 and I was like, "Wow, these guys are pretty obvious." I couldn't take their "ministry" seriously after that.
lol, - same with Jim & Tammy Baaker - if you called and gave your credit card number they would totally pray for you, otherwise their phone bank would hang up on the cash poor (altho' Tammy redeemed herself years later as the first evangelical xstian to hug a person with hiv aids. She & Diana proved that you couldn't get aids by hugging someone).
Ignorance of the Bible is what makes these people follow them without questions and give them money.
😂😂😂😂 dude is savage
Well, at least they would pay for the postage!
@@Lonsoleil lol
There is no better way to be pushed away from religion than to spend time watching Kenneth Copeland speak.
unless youre my parents 😂
It just pushes me further toward the Bible, which warms us against greed
Haha. What?
The guy is terrifyingly insane.At some point in his dubious life,he tipped over the edge of reason and sanity.Pure evil,pure greed and should be removed from society asap.These fake wolves in sheeps clothing need to all be investigated.
@@sicooper4230 - Well said. It is so unfortunate that we have so many gullible people devoting their lives to worshiping these pastors.
If Kenneth Copeland was the character in a movie, he would be the villain! ...he has the same smile as a great white shark.
I have never seen this interview at this length - thank you so much for including it. The part that is normally shown is the part where the demon controlling him literally appears before our eyes when the reporter calls it out through her question. So brave of her to stand her ground - and at the end she reveals that she’s been raised in the church - though I wouldn’t doubt if she walked away afraid, changed, and praying for backup and strength. She faced down an actual demon who has leveraged this poor man. If anyone questions if demons are real they need only watch this.
They still didn't put up the whole interview though. I for one prefer to have all the info.
This reporter deserves an award.
Yes because she never flinched😮😂
I agree although I did detect a couple snarky remarks about Christian believers in general. For the most part it was right on the money. This guy makes other real Christian teachers and preachers look bad in the eyes of people who are skeptical about Christianity to begin with. He is a shame and an ugly example of greed disguised as true Christianity.
Lisa wasn't scared of that guy
Good for her! He needs to be confronted.@@RaiderRSupastar
Amen 😂just for keeping an even keel around that demonic SOB!
Girl when you said his mansion was just like the one Jesus had, it took me all the way out!!😂😂😂😂
As a Christian I find it ironic that it's only church people Kenneth is fooling by lying about Jesus, whereas atheists are like, "Nope, Jesus was poor and preached against the rich." It's sad when atheists know far more about Jesus than those who claim to follow Him.
@@jacobeiler1781 Also - given his antisemetic babbling, reminding him that Jesus was Jewish probably hurts his brain...
@@nattanflaggs Haha yeah. It's super ironic (and sad and frustrating) how many Christians hate Jews. Without Judaism, there is no Christianity. Without the Old Testament, there is no New Testament. Without the Jewish Law/Torah/Law of Moses, there is no grace/salvation/resurrection, nothing!
😂😂 was classic
I saw this comment first, and so knew it was coming, and still laughed so hard I snorted.
It's amazing that a man who's amassed so much wealth doesn't have coaches that can help him explain why he flies private in a way that's not totally unhinged.
I'd bet he doesn't think he needs them, there's something deeply wrong
🤣🤣 Jap, dude doesn't even realize he makes no sense. Talk about rambling on about nothing.
The fact that people believe in this man is the most terrifying thing
him speaking to that reporter like that, with his finger in her face, and then he caught himself with the disturbingly awkward laugh and smile. it was almost like he flipped a switch to show his true colors and then realized that they were filming and recording him and he reeled it in SO FAST.
That was the scariest thing for me... I can only imagine how he is behind closed doors when the cameras aren't rolling. Terrifying.
That demon wanted his moment of fame so much, it looked like he had a difficult time tamping it back down. They walk among us, but so do people touched by angelic grace.
@@walterm2618 "You all are gonna die!"
Oh yes, he LOST it for a split second, and in that INSTANT, the appt observer saw him for what he is a GREEDY, AVARICIOUS man. using the word of God to BAMBOOBLE his gulible, naive "SHEEP"!
Entitled
He has the scariest, creepiest eyes I’ve ever seen. And the way he flipped! That was the REAL him! He accidentally let his mask slip for a minute then caught himself.
Like a demon
@@nataliehenderson8657 "If it walks like a dog , talks like a dog..."
@@vz1270 Yeah but he is much more scary than any dog I have ever seen or heard of. He always was. I called this out when I was in the US more than 30 years ago, but no one listened except the people who saw the same thing and never followed him to begin with.
Yes! he has evil eyes. Never trusted him, all about the $$$$$
My GOD....DEMON
You are an amazing journalist. Thank you for your time and research
What an amazing interviewer, not intimidated by this guy at all.
The way he snapped at that reporter shows that he is not used to being challenged by anyone in his life. He tries to weasel out of giving honest answers to questions by changing the subject, asking questions of the reporter, trying to “charm” her with compliments (shudder) or laughter, but he comes off as so creepy and like someone who is trying to be human but can’t quite pull it off. I wish she would’ve asked if the parishioners are able to use the planes they paid for but we all know the answer to that. Another great video, Josie!
"Like someone who is trying to be human" 😆😆 spot on. He's always given me horcrux vibes tbh.
Besides his million dollar personal jets, I bet deep inside his vast mansion there is also a personal express elevator to hell. He uses it 6 days a week to report to his real boss.😄🤣😁
When talking about the Tyler Perry plane.....she knew he had two other very expensive planes.....why didn't she ask him why he needed all the these other planes when one would be enough for his ministry?
That reporter was amazing. She didn't show any fear. I love seeing strong women like this!
She wasn't going to be bullied or pushed around good on her she's just after the truth she knows this guy is just full of it.
And he says to her "I love your eyes" & calls her sweetheart & baby. Creepy!
She was trying to convict Mr.Copeland ,but in his mind he's on the right path , I do believe he means well even with his human weakneses . Only Jesus Himself is qualified to judgement and if there are elements of what Mr.Copeland does ,ya don't agree with ,well don't follow him .
just his voice is infuriating
@@mikeabrams8959 "in his mind he's on the right path" - that is the problem. He is a heretical greedy charlatan and people like him (and MAGA) is why the Church in America is in so much trouble.
Really well researched and delivered video and I've got to give a shout out to the excellent music choice, it's a new song to me but it's definitely going straight in the Spotify playlist
I love your stuff! I just found your channel and you do such great work!
Not going to lie, the way that preachers and politicians exploit others, ignore Jesus' teachings, and how they choose and add their own rules yet can still claim to be saved is a huge reason why people begin to question their faith. If the biggest representatives of the religion don't actually believe in its teachings and guidelines, it's easy to see why more and more people don't believe.
As a Christian (who doesn't buy anything this guy is selling), I totally agree. Pastors and other Spiritual leaders who do not practice what they preach, whether they are fundamentalists who put undue burdens on people that they themselves do not submit to, or they are charismatics like Kenneth Copeland who are just straight up wolves, liars, comment, etc. are definitely helping to drive people from Jesus and it is incredibly sad, especially given the amount of trauma and gaslighting that they put people through.
Because Jesus is NOT a religion, He is a relationship for those of us who are truly born again believers. ‘my sheep hear me and know my voice’, true believers recognize false teachers.
That is the goal of freemasonry and im pretty sure Copeland and most other mega church pastors are in freemasonry which is anti-Jesus and pro-witchcraft
Uhm... People like Copeland are SO OBVIOUSLY AND OPENLY *N O T* Christians that there's no way seeing past it. You can really call them Anti-Christian. And even if people can't see that - the actions, mannerisms and perpetual hunger for more and more money of these prosperity gospel televangelists give their true nature away. How can anyone be deceived?! 😳
@@saltychips5795amen brother!
As a Christian, I am appalled by Kenneth Copeland's actions in this interview. Its disturbing and horrifying to watch Kenneth's eyes, he honestly looks like he's piercing so hard at that reporter that he's trying to get into her soul... kudos to the reporter for standing against him. That was a very demonic feeling watching him when he was trying to defend himself about the purchase of his private jet. The reporter stood her ground and wasn't scared by Kenneth. Any preacher who begs his congregation for money and amasses a fortune and lavish properties automatically puts them on the radar as a con-man. I'm surprised Kenneth was able to fool so many followers but then it goes back the old saying "There's a sucker born every minute." Elvis once said "The world is a stage and everyone must play their part." Looks like Kenneth is playing his part... Not The Good Girl, very well done documentary. You did your research well about Kenneth Copeland. I really never knew that he was a 1950's pop singer. Great Documentary!
Better than bubba copeland rofl
Yes his eyes are scary to me.
@@Thundralight The eyes are the windows to a person's soul... Kenneth's eyes are very telling...
I never knew he has been married 3 times. I’ve listened to many of his lifetime testimonies, back in the day, and I’ve never heard him talk about that. He always said he had three children. I wonder what his relationship is with his first child.
@@jeremymo4095Soul not found lol. He's got glass marbles
The best preacher I ever met in my life was Mr Billy Graham I love him really spoke the word of God and yes he did read out of his Bible and he never bragged about what he had and he gave a lot to poor people❤ love you Billy Graham may you rest in peace
wow, you did a great job on this. Really made my day. You could see the evil in his eyes...
I used to listen to his church channel until my dad said”child look into his eyes”
His eyes look evil.
You know as I watched that Inside Edition interview I thought the same thing. Those eyes are all telling.... pure evil. Scary
Wise dad
The eyes are the window to the soul and this man's soul is far from pure. There is something truly evil hiding within him.
@@vanapirarayne738your dad is right
Much respect to the reporter in this who maintained such poise and dignity and kept up with the questioning, nice work!
Truly! She was brave & composed, and I really appreciated how she used her grandfathers being preachers living very simply to point out the massive disparity between them and this sick deluded man. He’s a really bad liar, it’s depressing how many fall for his BS simply because he wraps himself in this cloak of faith 😢 (and then 5 more golden cloaks of wealth)
100%! She asked questions in a way to not provoke him. Quite disarming. Amazing work on her part to interview an absolute lunatic with so much professionalism.
@@belindarocky961She should be provoked and challenged him as a journalist IMO. I wish she had repeated the question about how much the private jet was... his attempts to distract and manipulate his way out of answering was so feeble and obvious.
Especially after that look he gave her, Yikes, that was scary looking!
He really compliment her eyes and call her baby....creep.
Useful information informing viewers of the facts re: Kenneth Copeland specifically and addressing generally the unregulated for-profit churches in-name-only that leech off our unfortunately significant population of the easily-tricked, enjoying a tax-free status as they amass millions on the backs of true believers. Thanks, NTGG.
This video was awesome! Its the first video i have watched that goes into his life before the church and what led up to what he is now
That reporter really is a class act. Manages to get him to expose himself while saying very little and staying passive enough he continues to engage.
I'm surprised he engaged for as long as he did. Credit to the reporter.
Never trust a politician who tells you how to pray. Never trust a preacher who tells you how to vote...
💯
I think this mostly only applies to america since it doesn't really have a very democratic system in place
@dhoward5757 MAN THATS A GOOD ONE. 🤔🤔🤔🤗🤗🤗🤗
Wrong Wrong Wrong.
A preacher can ask what is according to Jesus' teaching about supporting the poor; bringing hope and freedom. But it is up to any individual to decide which politician to vote for based on their choice of what aspects are most important to all - since no party will be a perfect fit. In UK politicians are not required to claim (regardless of authenticity) positions of faith within any one interpretation of religious action. I find the US need for (fake?) 'I believe like you' claims strange. It is about what people will do not what they spin before the vote
Wow Inside Edition interviewer is amazing.
Josie, my background is documentary filmmaking and editing, and you are a heck of a good documentary filmmaker.
Honestly people like him are exhibit A as to why we need to tax the churches. Can we start with the mega churches please?
They’re CEO’s of non religious non profits that make 13 1/2 million a year those organizations are also tax free
This is a foolish comment.
There isn't any reason not to
The reason I hesitate at a blanket statement of "tax the churches" is that most churches aren't megachurches with these kinds of funds. From age 11 or 12 onward I have mostly attended small churches. The church I attended in high school and my early 20's had a period where it struggled to pay its bills, and because it was considered a "part-time" pastor position even though we shared our pastor with another church, the one pastor had to take a second job at the local hospital during the week. Fortunately things gradually got better but seeing just how little the pastor made was shocking. My current church entered the year with a huge budget deficit and last year the priest voluntarily took a reduction in salary. I worry churches like this would struggle even more if they would suddenly have to worry about taxes, too. And both these churches I used as examples actually did things to help others, both in local communities and further away.
It wouldn't change much. If the churches were corporations, the small ones would pay little to nothing (because the corporate tax is calculated on profits), and the megachurches would optimize (all the mansions and airplanes would be their expenses), so they would also pay little to nothing.
Just imagine what could be done if churches paid their fair share of taxes as we all do, and what happened to keeping politics out of the churches. I don't understand how this is allowed to continue.
ALL religions are fowl !
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤
Imagine if the corrupt politicians you vote for actually did something worthwhile with the taxes.
Well the Bible says to never help the poor or needy- which is one of the things taxes goes to. "Never give money to anyone who might use it to clothe the hungry. Never support social/human services" - The Evangelical Jesus apparently. SMH
@@stephaniebillman5673 Whuch bible is that ? The Moss ad illustrated version?.
Dude flipped on the reporter.. realisee the reporter wasn't scared.. then tried to smile through his anger
Thank you for the full video of interview about the planes - previously I had only heard shorter clips. This shows the greater context, and the wider arrogance that people need to see him speak around the world - not others preaching from a longer term local presence. And as so many claims, I doubt the claim of x millions brought to faith through his work. As a Church leader myself I know that the 'altar call' style, especially in the church contexts that use them, people come forward multiple times. And at big events (eg Billy Graham crusades) faith decisions were next steps from foundations that were nurtured in local, traditional, churches. It is classic 'missionary maths' that highlights the number who said something in a moment, rather than spiritual journeys through life or not at all. As for being with 'real people' before preaching - I can accept that the last half hour before an event it is good to be able to focus - but being in the midst of normality before preaching is very powerful in rooting us in who we are and who we dare to speak to. (PS I bet on commercial flights he was upfront not economy anyway).
He is so creepy. I would not want to be in the same room as him. Its incredible that that reporter was able to keep her composure. As a Christian, this man is infuriating.
He’s a demon not a man.
That’s why you get chills. Stay prayed up ⬆️ 🙏🏾
Watching the way he smiled the whole time he was being interviewed, it struck me as odd, that his eyes were sending out so much NEGATIVE VIBES, its a WONDER his congregation dont see through him....MASS HYPNOSIS????
Talking about a bunch of demons……. HAS HE SEEN HIMSELF?!!!
I was 18 when I was introduced to the Gospel. Unfortunately, I was immediately thrust into the heresy of Kenneth Copeland. Thankfully, 18 months later, I was delivered from that bondage. I now sit under solid teaching from the likes of John MacArthur, Steve Lawson, Paul Washer, etc. I thank God for His mercy on me when I was treating Him with contempt as a word-faith pupil. I thank God for getting me out of that garbage and directing me to teachers of sound
Every day is a great day when you're not in a cult.
That journalist was amazing with him!
Oh my gosh, the truth is right there!
Anyone who names a ministry after themselves, should tell you all you need to know right there.
Good point
Exactly…
Yes that's basic but I got caught when I was, a novice Christian... I'm now orthodox. Lord have mercy
The irony of being afraid of being in a tube full of Demons when he's one himself. The conversation, if can even be called that, with the reporter you opened with has lived rent free in my head ever since I saw it. Man is terrifying.
You wouldn't believe how many Demons are demonphobic.
Anyone notice how Taylor Perry's name is synonymous with MEGA churches?! He seems right smack in the middle of their scandals🤔
The response to the reporter put me on pause for a second. Talking about a look that could kill. YIKES!!!
Many people will say: Lord, Lord; but Jesus will say: depart from me I never knew you...
Hey dazza
It certainly will apply to him.
I love that he tried to scare the reporter with his "Wrath of God" act and she just igored it and pushed him to clarify himself.😂
I think it will come as no surprise to anyone but one of the biggest indicators of psychopathy/narcissism is "love at first sight" romances.
Kenny is very rude to the Inside edition reporter. “Ok baby or sweetheart”. That’s just very disrespectful, but then again we have to look at who said it. A false preacher. If he ever let his true self out like he did when jumped the reporter when she asked about his comment on flying with demons on a plane, I mean come on, he switched his personality like he was Sybil.
I have seen the Copelands on TV on and off since I was young. (I am 66) He and his wife have always given me the creeps. They don't come across as genuine. I don't know how they were successful but I guess some people see what they want to see.
They preach the prosperity gospel.
It’s witchcraft over the people that sit under his teachings
I just left a church that follows him, you cannot make them see how evil he is! We had to find another church.
@@rainsofhealingexactly!!!!
When I was a kid, my dad toured with this guy. If I could even begin to measure the trauma of the influence of this man, it would just traumatize me more.
@brittanylevinson741 Did he treat your dad bad back then? thanks.
Uugh, I can’t imagine. That must have been just awful. I’m so sorry that happened to you and you had to be associated with such a vile creep.
What happen?
I would love to hear those stories. At one time I idolized Copeland but soon I became totally turned off by his arrogance and cockiness.
What do you mean toured with him? Is your dad also a preacher
So glad I was able to make my own thoughts and choices and got away from the church. I don’t understand how anyone can look at religion and churches and think it’s normal and okay. It’s insane. It’s only there to take money from the poor with the empty promise of blessings. How so many got roped into that is astonishing to me. It’s all a scam.
As a Christian even this to me is baffling.. this is not who Jesus is. It's hard not to base it off of what you've seen but this is not at all what it is.. Jesus was humble and lowly in heart. He wants you to know Him personally, not what you've been told or what you think you know already. But I can tell you, this is not a representation. This is so very far from it.
No not all churches are like that. Don't let the evil here keep you from your own search for God.
The fact that this guy is still alive is a testament to God's grace and mercy.
Not all who are still alive are because of God’s grace... How about HAMAS, HEZBOLLAH, and many others?!?
If God exists. This clown and Hitler and a few others would never have existed..
Even Satan plays out his role in God's perfect plan.
@pteechka1 Yes, you are right, but God's plan is different from God's grace and mercy... unless they repent. Until then, they will experience God's wrath.
We can still pray for him
I'm a fan of horror movies, but whatever that is in his eyes makes me uncomfortable. I feel so bad for the people that are so lost/hurt/powerless that they end up under the conning of people like this. The way words come out of his mouth with no real meaning is wild. He just says anything!😂
What I see in his eyes are a legion of demons and too much botox.
Right?!?! He apparently believes as long as he dutifully punctuates with "hallelujah, glory to God, praise Jesus" it really doesn't matter what he says, and judging by the huge audiences and Kardashian lifestyle, it doesn't. Sadly, in the churchianity world, he and his ilk have more supporters than critics. Same with the whole boatload of heretics preaching this demonic "prosperity" nonsense. I've grown to see these "pastors" in the same light as I do politicians, Hollyweirdos (including the "news" media in there) and doctors. And that is NOT a good thing! Like ZERO trust. Even people who sit under biblically-sound teaching go home and turn this kind of garbage on--and then go believing it. Many of us literally lose friends--and are even slandered by our lovely Xtian bretheren and sisteren--for rejecting and kicking over these sacred cows. Relatively few people will actually appreciate you for exposing the evil, but they sure good at spreading the word how mean, intolerant, and critical YOU are! Oh, yeah, I remember now....they call that "sharing in love". Bahahahahaha Good times. (Sarc font off) Haven't thought about that for a long time. Still breaks my heart and makes me cringe to even think back on it all, but I really do thank God for the discernment He gives to keep us out of the goat's head soup!
In that instant his eyes BECAME that of a SPITTING COBRA about to pounce on it,s prey...God ,save us from those who use your name to scam people...AMEN!
I agree, he gives me the creeps with his eyes. They seem demonic especially when he lashed out the quickly did that fake smile to recover. Just evil
Yup.
When they say money is the root of all evil. This man is the proof of all evil
I agree he is evil. Scripture says, "The LOVE of money is the root of all KINDS of evil".
1st Timothy 6:10 says it’s the love of money not money
It is written, "for the love of money is the root of all evil" and it is written " money answereth all things" just to clarify cause money it self is not evil it's the love of money and what people will do for it, like cheat a brother or hurt a father physically so pray for my big brothers to know truly know Jesus that they might be saved from hell
Ironically many people continue to follow him mindlessly.
The return of the crazy one Kenneth Copeland. 🤣🤣
I was raised in a church where the pastor was mentored by Kenneth Copeland. I can take a few positives away from basic Christianity, but I have so much religious trauma.
You and me both. Im completely done with word of faith/charismatic/prosperity gospel/pseudo Christianity. I also went to a church that was mentored by Copeland. This pastor watched my ex wife and I come in every service knowing our marriage was struggling. Didnt do anything at all. Just had our 3 child too. I was showing up to every service and pulled this pastor aside one night with tears in my eyes begging him what I should do to keep my family together. Long story short, this pastor supported my ex wifes decision to divorce me after a 15 yr relationship and 3 kids. He never once held her accountable despite all the services that taught that a wife should respect her husband and honor him especially when he's been faithful and has tried everything to allow God to be the glue for his family. Nope. Instead, he gives her smiles and wont have any issues with her bringing another man into his church. They Holy Spirit isnt evident in the charismatic movement because its money driven. If he held my ex wife accountable for being disrespectful and failing to honor her vows, thats thousands of dollars a year out the window. She wont come back. The holy spirit isnt just about feeling good. Its about correcting in love. She, along with this pastor (Philip Roman of Lovewalk 'Christian' Center in Houston TX), have hardened hearts set on their own fleshly desires. My ex wife told me she settled and can do better at 35 yrs old. This pastor doesnt give af. Hes a hustler.
Does anyone remember the guy that used to "heal" people on his show...until it came out that he faked it all and his wife was telling him which people were actors so he would know who to touch? I think it was Peter Popoff...James Randi called him out and that was what brought everything to light. I dont remember much about him. I dont know why but this guy reminds me off him.
Kenneth Copeland hasn't had to lie on his toes in a long time. This journalist is proving the importance of boots-on-the-ground journalism!
His attitude reminds me of a “pastor” that I use to know. She yelled at me and then quickly caught herself and laughs saying it’s all out of love. This type of hypocrisy angers me. Thank God I’m not a baby Christian so I can tell the difference between a godly person and person living out of selfishness and bitterness so I just left the church but it’s so sad that some people are deceived by these type of people.
I saught the lord and he healed me and delivered from all my troubles psalm 34:4
Very in-depth! I'd like to see you make a video on William Branham, another cult leader under the guise of Christianity.
That was great!! I didn’t even know he was still alive!
You only need to watch a few seconds of him to know what he is. You don't even need the gift of discernment, but if you have it, it helps.
He is for sure the right hand demon on the devil himself and i say that as an atheist !
He makes me feel uneasy
Facts
"We need money so let's start a church." Only in this world can you do something like that. WOW.
There's credible evidence that L. Ron Hubbard said that the best way to become a millionaire is to start a church a few years before he created Scientology. Hubbard and Copeland - both highly manipulative sociopaths totally lacking any sense of shame about scamming the needy and desperate.
Sounds like starting on Only Fans 😂
The scariest part is that millions of people believe and love this pastors to to death
Saying I do not beleive in demons while having the most devil eyes ever 🫣
Yes!!!! This man deserves all of the harsh judgement waiting for him.
Don't we all.
@@VicksWanderNot me.
@@VicksWanderno I try my best to live right and do right to others.
@@FaithandNovadoing that is nice, but I'd recommend checking out the bible. Jesus prefers those who do his bidding and listen/applying his teachings.
@@triple_axel973 Nice, then follow his teachings and let other people go their own way, we don’t need to be lectured.
What a humble man, LOVE and Empathy oozes from every word he is speaking. The sincerity is Overwelming........ I need a bucket🤢
I was raised in a family that leaned heavily on the teaching of KCM and the like. Every year we would attend a week long KCM convention. Now as adult that has walked away from the church I have so much anger for all of the kids and adults who were brainwashed into believing they just needed to give more or believe harder and they would have whatever they want
Great video. How can you donate to this man after watching this video?
I just told my wife that we should start a church. Hell, we all should start our own churches and refuse to pay taxes until they do away with that nonsense for all churches. What a scam.
Not churches, but men like Copeland, who take church money and spend it on themselves.
Tax exemption for churches is NOT a bunch of nonsense, but the abuses relating to corrupt clergy certainly need to be addressed. Copeland is a dirt bag, that's for sure.
Tax scam
I’ve been thinking about it myself lol might as well 😂
@@4linesav the ol kris jenner routine 😂
I'm still not over the question about thinking people are demons and him turning into a damn demon right in that moment. He is evil incarnate.
The just like jesus had part had me on the floor😂😂😂
Watching the videos on this channel is like me going back it time from childhood to young adult.
ADDITIONALLY, Jesse Duplantis, another American preacher$$$$$ based in Louisiana use to come to Houston Texas and my neighbors were followers of his ministry. He and his wife is now wealthy too. These preachers collect big $$$$ dollars from their followers. I watched a lot of these guys back in the 1980s, fleecing folks regardless of ages or races. Sadly this is still the norm today in America......... stay safe everyone
Yes, sadly there are so many scams out there. I agree that everyone should stay safe from scams, use our brains and don't assume anyone has all of the answers. I am saddened for my fellow Christians who fall victim to guys like Ken Copeland. Yes, of course I feel bad for them because no one deserves to be lied to and scammed out of their money, especially given that many of Ken's donors are poor people who desperately need help, only made poorer and more desperate by giving to him. It is so heartbreaking. On the other hand, I am also embarrassed for fellow Christians who are scammed by these wolves because the Bible warns extensively about avoiding false teachers like this, but most "Christians" don't read the Bible, they know very little about God and they are still just as carnal as most non-Christians, sadly making them prey to wolves like Ken Copeland who tickle their "itching ears". "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;" 2 Timothy 4:3 KJV bible.com/bible/1/2ti.4.3.KJV I know this audience is largely non-Christian but I don't want people to think that all Christians support guys like Ken Copeland. We don't.
Yeah, religion as a tax shelter is about the most blatant scam pulled on the population.
I clickity clacked so fast. I Love these Documentaries Josie!!! YOU AND YOUR TEAM ARE AMAZING
Thank you so much! Very proud of everyone's hard work. 💛
omg even his little baby photo has crazy eyes LOL
Lets apreciate this reporter for keeping him in check
Eyes are the window to the soul. Copeland has something dark and evil in his. I've never seen anything so dark in a human.
Listening to what he says and watching how he responds, this is not the behavior of someone who actually believes what he preaches. This is the behavior of someone who knows all the right things to say to get what he wants. He sees ministry as a cash grab and it shows.
I thought I was smooth but this pastor is on a whole different level.
