Kenneth Copeland Says He Gave Away a Plane as a ‘Seed Offering’ and Got a Better Plane in Return

When he’s not claiming that COVID has been destroyed ,  throwing someone in a wheelchair to the floor, casts away bald spots in Jesus name, or even running his own Bible college, arch-heretic Kenneth Copeland, 84, the world’s richest prosperity preacher in America, can be frequently found on his show making up stuff about Jesus and justifying his personal theological idiosyncrasies, particularly when it comes to attaining that filthy mammon.

Speaking on Believers Voice of Victory, he teaches the existence of a “heavenly grant,” using John 16:23-24, to say that “my Father will grant you whatever you ask in my name.” He offers that because he sowed a seed of an airplane, he reaped an even better airplane, encouraging his listeners to do likewise and tithe to him in order to be granted wealth and riches.

“2019, 2020 broke all the financial records. 2021 broke all the financial records. And 2022 has taken off. We’re ahead of 2021, but we have heavenly grant and every member of the board signed it and we had our lawyer draw it, grow it up in legal language and everybody signed it and we pray it together.”

He explains:

I said, “Jerry (Savelle), the Lord just said to me in my spirit to give (Apostle) Joe Nay that 310.” Jerry said he thought, “Well how are we going to get home?” That’s not my problem right there then. So I called him. I said “Joey, you sitting down?” I said, “The Lord just told me to give you my Cessna 310 twin engine airplane.” Well, we came home, and I said, “Jerry, here’s what I’m gonna do…this is my seed. And I got quite a bit of time on those engines, so I’m going to put it in the shop here and get those engines overhauled.”

Jerry said, he thought “he gonna give it to the guy, let him overhaul the engine.” No, no. It must be a proper seed. And it was getting close to time for engine overhaul, so the ministry had both engines overhauled and we presented it ready to go.

Now what are we gonna do? Well, there was a woman that walked in, and there’s something had happened with some stock. And she just walked into our office and just brought a check in there for $250,000 .Okay?

And another friend of mine call me and he said “Kenneth-” Now he had a twin Cessna, but his was pressurized, glory to God. He called he said “Kenneth, the last time I was down there, it just seemed to me like I was flying your airplane brother.” But he said, “I owe a little money on it. But I’d like to just go ahead and give it to you.” I said, “Well, let it just be fine. Just help yourself.”

There was enough money in that other check to pay off the debt on that twin Cessna and it was pressurized. The heavenly grant worked. The heavenly grant was working all the time because Jerry Savelle and I set ourselves in agreement…. It had to do with the prayer of faith. It had to do with the heavenly grants.

Does this Woke ‘Pastor’ Have the Worst Take on Conversion in Christian History?

Brandan Robertson is an emerging personality on the religious far-left. A proud sodomite, he used to be a ‘pastor’ Missiongathering Christian Church, a San Diego church affiliated with the Disciples of Christ, then left to be the pastor of Metanoia Church, a “digital progressive faith community” that met bi-monthly for a bit, but was quickly shuttered and is now defunct after a handful of services. He also has spoken at the Wild Goose Festival, a famed liberal religious gathering we’d describe as “Gay Christian Woodstock”, only with more drugs and heresy.

A graduate of Moody Bible Institute, he gained prominence on TikTok for regurgitating talking points from the devil himself, such as claiming that polyamorous relationships are “holy, welcome and celebrated” and teaching that premarital sex is “good and healthy.” He’s also argued Jesus used a racial slur in Mark 7 during the account of the Syrophoenician woman, for which he later had to repent of being a racist, suggested that Jesus was likely a sinner who had to grow in sanctification, and claimed that Jesus doesn’t desire our worship because “only the Gospel of John” says he does.

In his newest assertion, which is a recipe for the damnation for the entire world and probably edges out some of the crusaders in terms of how terrible their take is, when asked why he denied in a previous video that Christians should be converting people, the pagan pastor explains:

Jesus never converted anyone, and he never called us to convert anyone. From his birth to his death Jesus was Jewish, and all of Jesus’s disciples were Jewish.

He didn’t call them to start a new religion or to leave their Judaism to convert to Christianity. He simply called them to follow his example and his teaching, and he summed up his teaching in two simple commands; Love God with all of your heart, and love your neighbor as yourself.

Anybody can follow those commands, regardless of their religion, regardless of their culture, regardless of their background. You don’t need to convert to Christianity to follow Jesus’ example. You don’t need to belong to the Christian religion to follow Jesus and be faithful to Him.

And so being a disciple, again, doesn’t mean that you need to leave any religion or culture behind, it simply means that you’re dedicated to following the example and the central teachings of Jesus.

Trinity-Denier TD Jakes Ending Famed Conference after 25 Years

Famed Trinity-denier TD Jakes is ending his ‘Woman Thou Art Loosed’ conference after 25 years, holding his final event on Sept. 22-24, 2022. The event, which has drawn over half a million people, was supposed to have its last year in 2022, but the pandemic thwarted those plans until now. According to the promo material;

“What Bishop T.D. Jakes started as Sunday school lessons at his church in West Virginia in 1992 has transformed into one of the nation’s most riveting women’s conferences. Through the years, Bishop Jakes has “loosed” multitudes of women from the shackles of abandonment, low self-esteem, addiction, and more to become victorious, secure women. “

Jakes held the first Women, Thou Art Loosed! conference in 1996 after discovering the impact his Bible study message had on women. Over the years, he claims he’s seen “breakthroughs in thousands of women ” because of it. As to why he’s ending things now; he told EEW:

“Women are taking leadership. They’re moving in positions of power. They’re being healed emotionally and spiritually. Now it’s time to talk about some other things that need to happen.

“We’re losing our men. We’re losing our sons. We’ve got all kinds of crazy stuff happening in our country right now, and I need to free my hands from what I used to do so that I can have availability to focus on the ways that I can best contribute now.”

We’ve recently written about Jakes when he noted how he disgraces his wife with his twerking comments, joined Joel Osteen for a conference where tickets cost $1000.00 , and known to frequently wear insanely expensive designer shoes, clothes and watches, that cost more than many of his congregants make in a year.

Jakes, who has continued to be platformed by those at the Christian Post and Charisma News, has gone on record saying he doesn’t believe that Jesus is the second person of the Trinity but rather is just a “manifestation” of God. In fact, even now, his church website reads, “There is one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect, and eternally existing in three manifestations:  Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.”

TobyMac ‘Open’ to Reuniting With Former Bandmate-Turned-Atheist Kevin Max for New DC Talk Album

Christian artist TobyMac (real name Toby McKeehan) has said that he’s open about the possibility of reuniting with his former bandmates for a new DC Talk album, despite one of the members now being a pro-LGBTQ, pro-choice pagan.

Last year ex-‘Jesus Freak’ Kevin Max announced on social media that he has been “deconstructing” his faith for years, for all intents and purposes revealing himself to have become a progressive pagan who has renounced orthodox Christianity and now holds to some weird form of belief in the “Universal Christ”. He would later go all in for abortion rights and tweet out support for his gay daughter, as well for Pride Month. Their other bandmate, Michael Tait, has been the lead singer of the Christian group Newsboys since 2009.

After releasing five albums between 1989 and 1998, including the 1995 banger Jesus Freak, the band announced in 2000 that they were taking a break to pursue individual projects. They’ve come together for a few shows since going on hiatus, notably some cruise line reunion shows in 2017 and 2019, but nothing since Max came out as an ex-vangelical in 2021.

Now, in a new interview, when pressed over whether or not DC Talk would ever get back together to launch a new full-length DC Talk studio album, McKeehan told Billboard that he was not opposed to the prospect and that it’s not a “closed door.”

“I don’t know. Sometimes I’ll write a song that sounds more like DC Talk than it sounds like me and I’ll just kind of hold it. So there are a few of those sitting there. Our friend Ryan Tedder sent us a song that he felt like sounded like DC Talk, which we still have sitting there — and it’s amazing, because he wrote it. I don’t know the answer to that [reunion] question. I know that I’m not opposed to it; obviously I asked Michael and Kevin to be on this song, so it’s not a closed door for me.”

Todd White Posts Fake Leg-Lengthening Video in 2022

Charismatic evangelist and professional cold-reader and leg-lengthener Todd White has re-upped one of his greatest hits on his website, posting days ago a video of him doing a fake-miracle parlor trick.

For a brief time, many had thought the notorious heretic had repudiated his false beliefs after delivering an emotional sermon where he admitted he was not preaching the full gospel– leaving people to wonder if he’d been saved. We put on our discernment caps and explained this is how we would know he was repentant. Sadly, the next week he demonstrated that he was not. Since then, he claimed that Jesus BECAME child pornography and bestiality on the cross and sampled Aerosmith as a prophetic worship song, showing that he’s just as sketchy as ever.

Leading figures in Christian discernment like Justin Peters and Chris Rosebrough have suggested that Todd White is demon-possessed. We absolutely concur and believe strongly that, along with Kenneth Copeland and Todd Bentley, the extent of demonic possession over this man is more profound and apparent than most.

Unlike the misled youth pastor down at the Assembly of God who might get carried away with old wives’ tales of the goofy-miraculous, White is not an ordinary charismatic. White engages in parlor trickery that must be learned, practiced, and honed. His leg-lengthening stunts, his mentalism and cold-readings, and his street-level “healings” are all tricks learned and mastered by secular magicians. He has not just ignorantly bought into a Sid-Roth-Style charismaticism; he has had 100% knowledge that the tricks he regularly employs to make him famous are manufactured and manipulative.

When Todd White walks up to a person with a limp and says, “The Spirit tells me you have a hurt ankle,” and then rubs his hands together violently (to create heat from friction) and then “lays hands” on the cripple’s skin he 100% knows what he’s doing when he then asks, “Does it feel warm? It’s working! It’s working!” and claims a miracle took place.

In the case of leg lengthening, White claims that someone’s in some pain on account of their legs being different lengths, and he can fix it by having them grow. He has them sit in a chair and shows them the discrepancy, flashing the camera a closeup to prove his point. However, the con has already begun because of the way and angle he holds the legs in the first place. White then manipulates the leg, ankle, hip, and shoe, saying spiritual words and pleading ‘in Jesus name’ while pulling, tweaking, and rotating until voila, healing! The leg has been regrown.

In short, Todd White is the worst of tricksters and miracle-hustlers. His career has been to dupe religious types and gullible people into believing he is sincere, and he does it over an dover again.

Woke Pastor Says there are ‘Lesbian Angels’ who ‘Consensually’ Flirt with Queer Christian Women

The Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA) is a raging dumpster fire of blasphemy and perversion. Given their love of everything Antichristic, it is no exaggeration to say that sitting through an actual church service at one of their pagan temples is a foretaste of the hell that awaits them if they don’t repent. I mean, here are just a few of their greatest hits.

Church Holds’ Pride Worship Service’ Featuring all LGBTQ Songs

Woke Church Newsletter Invites Congregants To Help Pay for Abortions and Abortion Pills

Pastrix Says Jesus Called Syrophoenician Woman a ‘B*****’ + “Jesus Screwed Up, She Redeems Him”

Queer ELCA Pastrix Ordained With Drag Queen Nuns While Jennifer Knapp Serenades

This brings us to Lura Groen. The pastrix of Abiding Savior Lutheran Church in Columbia, MD. She is quite possibly the grossest clergy we’ve ever written about.

In a May 7, 2021, Facebook post, she engages in some spectacularly poor interpretation of Psalm 23:6, “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the LORD Forever” by claiming that because “It is common and orthodox to personify all the Biblical virtues as women. Think Woman Wisdom in Proverbs” that it somehow follows that “Goodness and Mercy can be the names of God’s righteous lesbian angels, mercilessly (and consensually) flirting with you your whole life….ruthless and sacred pursuit from lesbian angels.”

She’s isn’t a nobody, even though it wouldn’t matter if she were. Rather, she continues to rise in the ranks through the ELCA. Three years ago, she was elected to the Discipline Committee of the Delaware-Maryland Synod, where she enjoys a close friendship with the Bishop. She has also spoken on at least one panel with Elizabeth Eaton, the head of the ELCA. Those in power know who she is and how she behaves, and they are completely and utterly supportive.

Because there is no limiting factor within the ELCA, she is the next natural evolution.

‘Fastest Growing Megachurch’ that Became ‘Gay-affirming’ Goes from 8K members to 150 ‘New Agers’ Meeting Online

Ryan Meeks, the “impastor” of EastLake Church in Bothell, WA announced that he has stepped down from the church he founded nearly 16 years ago, a fitting end for a heretic hellbent on leading his flock of goats astray.

In 2015, Meeks famously announced that his 8000-member multi-site campus would be gay-affirming, making it the biggest church in North America to do so and garnering international headlines and acclaim from progressives and mainstream media. At the time he claimed that nothing would change and that this was their only shift in theology.

With the announcement, thousands left and the church lost millions of dollars. They laid off staff and closed campuses. Within two years, he stopped pretending to be a Christian altogether as he began to openly repudiate the bible, exclaiming “I don’t care if the Bible says, ‘Gay people suck.’ The Bible is pro-slavery, both in the Old Testament and the New Testament. It doesn’t have a very great view of women leading and teaching. I have lots of things I disagree with about the Bible.”

Four years later, he now describes himself as a “washed-up ex-mega church pastor-turned-mystic humanist psychonaut.” The church is a new age-secular humanist repository, and there is nothing Christian about it.

In his farewell message, Weeks explains that his church “is an idea. It’s an incendiary idea. And in many ways, it was a laboratory for unorthodox and heretical ideas, which was really fun for me.” For the 150 or so people that have remained, they stay because he has been “reimagining the boundaries of what God means” while revealing that the congregation has has “re-democratized love” and deconstructed God so that he became “a unitive loving awareness that sometimes hits you at a sunrise or a sunset or at a concert or in lovemaking.”

Looking back on his journey, he acknowledges that “the slippery slope is real” and that his gay-affirming stance was the floodgate to his heresy.

There have been many, many iterations of what EastLake has been. I mean you think about any point in time. At one point you could have called us a tiny fledgling church plant and then we were a purpose-driven church health award winner in 2006. [Purpose-driven church? Isn’t that another fellow of questionable theology named Rick Warren? You know it is… -Ed.] And we were one of Outreach Magazines fastest-growing churches in America and we were a multi-site evangelical megachurch and we’re a hologram church – that didn’t work, that’s one of the funny ones.

At one point we became an open the largest evangelical open and affirming church and from there we really made a lot of shifts and all of a sudden I think we were something like a progressive Christian church and then we were a rapidly declining church and I don’t know what we ended up, you know a not church or some sort of ‘interfaith spiritual goulash.’

It’s been wild and when I think back through all of that I’m just amazed but I also learned that the slippery slope is real, and I don’t mean that in a negative sense I know that phrase is used negatively, but sometimes if I write a book I may have a chapter called ‘my fantastic ride down the slippery slope’ because it’s true. It’s been wild and it’s certainly come with pain.

The church has been meeting online only and is down to a little over 150 people.

Documentary ‘Send Proof’ Released, Ft Charismatics Giving ‘Evidence’ of ‘Supernatural’ ‘Healing’

On Sept 14th, 2021, the documentary ‘Send Proof’ was released, featuring a ‘who’s who’ of false charismatic faith healers, including Hillsong’s Brian Houston, Shawn Bolz, Heidi Baker, and Randy Clark.

Collectively these men and women have not healed a single person, on account of their atrocious heresies and theology, and yet the video purports to show them as the best evidence for healers that Christendom has to offer, with the four of them collectively alleging to have healed thousands if not tens of thousands of people from cancer, blindness, regrown legs, back backs, short legs, deafness, and a couple of resurrections for good measure. The film’s promotional material reads:

Follow Elijah Stephens in his search for evidence surrounding miracles. When his former pastor leaves the faith, Stephens finds his own worldview falling apart, and embarks on a journey to find proof for the supernatural. Along the way, he encounters sharp atheists and skeptics but also finds others who claim to have evidence for miraculous healings.

Apart from the NAR folk, the film likewise brings on famous atheist skeptics (and notably no cessationists Christians) to refute the believers, all who are adamant that miracles do not take place.

The film disagrees, offering up one example as proof being Heidi Baker, a New Apostolic Reformation ‘Miracle Worker’ and Apostlette. Researchers headed down to Pemba, Mozambique which is the headquarters of their Iris Global Missions Base ministry to test the veracity of the known “healer.” There, researchers tested 24 people before and after Baker prayed for healing.

They concluded that unlike Jesus or Paul who performed miracles and healed the sick and dying, seeing instant, indisputable, complete and permanent healings, after Baker’s prayer, further testing only allegedly detected “statistically significant improvements in hearing and vision.”

The video is available for download for 15$, but we have no intention of watching it.

Bonus. One of the healers, Randy Clark, getting wild with the Holy Ghost

Charisma News Continue to Promote and Laud Famous Trinity Denier, Surprising No One

Charisma News continues to be a source of promoting whatever polluting spiritual waste they can scrape from the sewers- this time an article/ press release promoting the wonderful anniversary celebrated by the famed Modalist, and then a video showing his church service.

“Bishop T.D. Jakes’ Dallas, Texas, church, The Potter’s House, celebrated its 25th anniversary on Sunday, July 4, with fanfare, memories and powerful prophetic words, and the signing of a vision statement by Jakes and other bishops….

“There is before us a divine and a holy assignment that I believe to be very significant for what God would have us to do in the 21st century,” ” Jakes told the church before introducing the vision statement…

This all the while reminding us that “Time magazine once called Jakes “America’s Best Preacher” and “The Next Billy Graham”

Far from an orthodox Trinitarian, T. D. Jakes has gone on record as saying he doesn’t believe that Jesus is the second person of the Trinity, but rather is just a “manifestation” of God. In fact, even now his church website reads “There is one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect, and eternally existing in three manifestations: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.”

Jakes is a rank heretic and has been for decades. It is unquestionable, but Charisma doesn’t care, as they’ll endorse and purveyor of spiritual strychnine for a couple of cents; their discernment nonexistent and their consciences have been seared years ago.

This is not the first time they have promoted and endorsed Jakes. They have a long history of it, and because they have no regard for the love of truth or foundational Christian doctrine, it won’t be the last.


Editor’s Note. This article was written by Pastor Ed Litton and published at Protestia.com

TD Jakes: White Evangelicals Have Lost Sight of ‘What would Jesus Do?’

Famed Modalist T. D. Jakes has taken a potshot at white evangelical Christians, saying they’ve lost their way on account of putting too much emphasis on decrying abortion and same-sex marriage, and not enough on poverty and criminal justice problems.

T. D. Jakes, though continuing to be platformed by those at the Christian Post and Charisma News, has gone on record as saying he doesn’t believe that Jesus is the second person of the Trinity, but rather is just a “manifestation” of God. In fact, even now his church website reads, “There is one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect, and eternally existing in three manifestations:  Father, Son and Holy Spirit.”

In an interview with the Atlantic’s Emma Green, Jakes recounts how COVID-19 has caused much suffering in his church, including “marriages imploding, self-medication, and serious bouts of depression” along with death and permanent disability.

As a result, one of the hardest things for black people has been not being able to attend funerals, given that the funeral, or homegoings, are more important and meaningful to black people than to white folk.

Speaking of the black experience vs the white one and the disproportionate way COVID-19 has affected the black community, he notes:

Jakes: It is amazing to me that we can live in the same city and have two completely different experiences. You can kind of be willfully blind to the pain of the people who are in your own city and have ladies’ meetings and come together to solve poverty around the world and not think a thing about poverty right in your own city.

Green: You know, when I hear you say that, I can’t help but hear an implication about the way certain other Christians—maybe white Christians in particular—live, with a kind of international orientation toward helping kids in Africa but not caring that much about helping people who are their neighbors in their own city. Am I hearing you right?

Jakes: [Laughs.] I think that’s true in some cases, but I don’t think that they are a monolith. I’ve met pastors who cared, and who have joined hands and tried to help and serve, and who were first responders in times of crisis. But by and large, it makes people uncomfortable to look at complicated problems. And the problems in underserved communities are complicated by poor education, poor access to medical care, crime, and the distance in culture. As a whole, I think white evangelicals lost sight of “What would Jesus do?” because they only define Jesus in very narrow terms.

Green: Well, you’re going to have to say a little bit more about that.

Jakes: [Laughs.] I think that social issues define the spaces where faith and politics and society intertwine—Roe v. Wade and same-gender-loving people. [White evangelicals] don’t always put the same level of weight on the poor, the disenfranchised, or criminal-justice problems. They don’t see that as important.
