Controversial televangelist Kenneth Copeland was all smiles on the tarmac near his Fort Worth, Texas mega church as he took delivery of his new $3million Gulfstream V private jet. 'This is a big deal, this is a big plane' he says in a video posted on his ministry's website, before grinning into the lens and asking viewers, 'do you see this? do you see this? I hope so, you bought it. You and Jesus.' Copeland, who is the head of the Kenneth Copeland Ministries and has his own TV show, bought the jet off Tyler Perry.

Yep.
Holy, holy, holy is the L-rd of... Whhhooooaaaaa!!!! A G-V!!
From the article: “Copeland won’t be flying his G5 just yet though, because it needs about $2.5million worth of upgrades before it is ready.”
This guy makes me wanna upchuck.
What is it with televangelists refusing to fly business class? Come on folks, the President flies his own jet because he has an entire staff. Do they really think we think they have huge staffs, because we don’t. I’m pretty sure most people think that the more they waste on their big jet, the LESS equipped they are for outreach.
OK, I almost re-wrote that as I realized how you could think I’m talking about something else, but then I thought there might be some truth to it.
Yup. I can see Jesus doing this. Or Paul, who wrote I Corinthians 4:11-13, doing this.
NOT!!!!!
Borderline blasphemy...
That guy has always been scary looking to me. Crazy eyes.
As long as rubes and old people keep giving him money, then why not?
3 million could by a lot of meals.
The jet is proof that Copeland is “blessed by God” and has “found favor with Him”. If you want to be just as “blessed”, you need to plant a seed with his “blessed” ministry in order to “join in the blessing”.
Worldly riches are an outward sign of success in that world.

Jesus was the Son of God, for crying out loud. Do you think Hed humble Himself to walking around in the dirt? I dont think so, Copeland added. He had the finest planes, wore the finest clothes, ate the finest foods, and always sat at the best seat at the table.
These guys have no shame. How anyone can be gullible enough to send money to a clown like this I’ll never know.
AW, give the guy a break. It’s the only way he will get closer to God.
“3 million could by a lot of meals.”
And they’ll eventually be hungry again because your money will dry up.
Copeland is a carny. People need to quit paying him to be one.
Well, now there will be one less demon flying commercial.
Completely unbiblical.
“You and Jesus”
Invoking Jesus for personal gain. Fraud.
These frauds act like Jesus is their business partner.
Apparently his favorite book of the Bible is Numbers.
I’m a Christian.
While I do not think a pastor should live in poverty, I find this to be ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING.
I hope at least half of his followers will see this and realize how incredibly stupid they have been in sending money to this man.
Even if he is against flying commercial, there are private charter services he could use which would cost less than the purchase and upkeep of a private jet.
