Prosperity Gospel Millionaire Kenneth Copeland Screams at his Followers Unemployed due to Coronavirus Cutbacks 'Don't You Dare Stop Tithing!'
nteb ^ | 3/20/2020 | Geoffrey Grider

In a typical display of unbridled greed, sleazy televangelist Kenneth Copeland warns followers that even if they lose their job because of the coronavirus pandemic they must keep giving him money because Jesus.

Today we bring you Old Demon Eyes himself, Kenneth Copeland, and be forewarned, he is really, really mad at unemployed, coronavirus quarantined Christians. Just when I think that Laodicean crooks like Kenneth Copeland, Paula White and all the others cannot possibly get any lower or more disgusting, they do. But Kenneth Copeland, as you will see in this video, is in a class all by himself when it comes to sleaze.

FEAR OF THIS CORONAVIRUS IS FAITH IN ITS ABILITY TO HURT YOU OR KILL YOU. THE FEAR OF ‘WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO? I’M GETTING LAID OFF AT WORK!’

HEY! YOUR JOB’S NOT YOUR SOURCE. IF IT IS, YOU’RE IN TROUBLE. JESUS IS YOUR SOURCE! WHATEVER YOU DO RIGHT NOW, DON’T YOU STOP TITHING! DON’T YOU STOP SOWING OFFERINGS.

‘WELL, THEY WON’T LET US GO TO CHURCH!’

WELL, EMAIL IT IN, THEN! TEXT TOGETHER. SOMETHING. BUT YOU GET YOUR TITHE IN THAT CHURCH IF YOU HAVE TO GO TAKE IT DOWN THERE AND DROP IT OFF… STICK IT UNDER THE DOOR OR SOMETHING. YOU GET THAT TITHE IN THAT CHURCH, YOU GET THAT OFFERING IN THAT CHURCH, AND THEN YOU GO HOME AND DO WHAT YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO DO.

Don’t let Copeland off the hook so easily. He’s a prosperity minister: G_d will richly bless you. But only if you first plant a monetary seed. Send your seed to the address below (his address, of course).

Oh, and you will be blessed one hundred fold. So the more you send in, the greater your blessing will be.

According to Wikipedia, Copeland is worth $760,000,000. Let that sink in for a minute.

Making a fortune isn’t illegal, of course. But something sure is wrong here. It’s like a senator “earning” $760,000,000 in the course of his career. It fails the smell test, big time.

I agree completely.

FWIW, I graduated from Regent University, the university founded by Pat Robertson. Yeah, *that* Pat Robertson. Pat has said and done some goofy things over the years, just like every high-profile person. But he’s done an awful lot of good as well. I wouldn’t be married to my wife, and have the kids I have, for example, if it weren’t for Pat Robertson and Regent University.

I haven’t kept up with Kenneth Copeland, though I used to read his materials decades ago. He, like Pat, has said and done some goofy things. I imagine, though, that he’s done a ton of good as well.

Kenneth Copeland has gotten very rich preaching his brand of the gospel.

Lots of money, lots of perks, lots of land.

Preaching appears to be very profitable.

Whether he’s preaching to save souls or fatten his bank account I will let each person decide.

I’m not letting Copeland “off the hook.”

I’m simply saying that this article is a complete lie. If Copeland has said and done goofy things, that’s one thing. But this article, and it’s author, are lying.

In this specific instance, the author of this article is far more malicious and contemptible than Kenneth Copeland.

In another video (see link below), KC shares what he claims Jesus revealed to him in multiple prophetic visions he had in 2019, concerning what was going to come in 2020.   (It's strange that, in all that revelating, the Lord didn't tell him a single peep about that worldwide coronavirus plague that was coming!)

The tithe is not even valid under the new Covenant.

Everything we have belongs to God, and we are to be good stewards of it.

IIRC there were multiple taxes, they amounted to over 25%, and they were on profit/gain, not wages. Freewill offerings were a separate thing...and not a fixed amount.

Charlatans like Copeland survive because they are con artists.

How I miss David Wilkerson. He never hawked a dime. Always at the bottom of his newsletters just simply said God would provide, and if God led you to give, then do as you can. Nothing more than that.

Like Jesus said: “Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”

There are plenty of churches that are biblical and loaded with humble folks. My church doesn’t have a pastor. We are led by a board of elders. They do much of the preaching. All are volunteers. Besides a youth leader and a secretary, there are no paid staff.

The tithe was an old covenant requirement to help the Levitical priests survive in that the Levites were the only tribe of Israel without an inheritance. They were to survive from offerings of the other tribes of Israel.

Duet.18:1
“The priests, the Levites—all the tribe of Levi—shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel; they shall eat the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and His portion.
