Televangelist Kenneth Copeland announced on his website this week that his duplicitous fleecing operation Kenneth Copeland Ministries (KCM) has taken possession of a Gulfstream V airplane. (HT: Christian Daily Reporter)
"What a wonderful gift!" Elite CX Team Leader Charlie Bollinger wrote about the purchase on his KCM blog. "We knew the Gulfstream V would come quickly, and now we have it. And it’s all because of you, the faithful KCM Elite CX Team members–combined with the blessings of a FAITHFUL GOD!" Copeland didn't disclose how much the "ministry" paid for the GV.
KCM explained that the Holy Spirit had confirmed that the Gulfstream V was "the plane the Lord had set aside" for the organization. (Because, you know, God has a giant hangar in the sky from which he sends extravagant gifts to good little televangelists or something!)

Maybe he’ll get his own farting videos, like Robert Tilton.....

That is the most awesome site for humor lately. Not a day goes by that Babylon Bee doesn’t post two or three stories that make me hurt with laughter. Earlier this week there was one about a kid who got banned from Awana’s Bible quiz after testing positive for Mountain Dew.
At a certain level of travel and staff, a private aircraft makes some sense. But, living a high lifestyle based on donations alone negates that need drastically.
Fractional leasing of smaller and more economical aircraft makes far more sense. This guy is just a charlatan.
Kenneth Copeland is one strange dude. I do a pretty good impression of him, with the splayed-out hands, the contorted face, the bugged-out eyes, the slurry growl, and the and the predictable phraseology.
To hell with him. . . I enjoy watching Mike Murdock “preach” for a half hour just to see what gimmick he’s using to get 1,000 people to send him $1000. I’m sure that when they get to 1,001, that they tell the callers that they have enough money, so thanks for calling. I just love it. Love offering to Jehovah Jireh, to whatever . . . very entertaining. Can’t quite figure what these tv preachers do with all that loot.
Compare this guy to the Grahams and Samaritan’s Purse. I sincerely doubt Reverend (I use the term loosely) Copeland will be using his jet to aid Ebola victims and spread the Gospel.
Blab it and Grab it bunch.
Oh well.
I believe the right thing to do is pray. Copeland still has a choice about what to do with the plane. I hope and pray it will be sent on many, many missions of mercy in the name of the Lord, and I urge and exhort that we should all likewise pray.
And I don’t even know a thing about Copeland other than what I see here. Even if his theology is all jabberwocky, I think of the “good Samaritan.”
Let’s wait to pronounce doom and gloom until we see what we ourselves would do with means of that magnitude. Little poor widows apparently don’t comprise the bulk of his congregation. He’s got the funds from people of means. Let their donations, their seed money, whatever it’s called, actually mean something.
Call me a sap for the love of God, even though unlikely channels. Now, Copeland may disappoint, but let’s not be going to God’s throne cocksure that he will and simply asking for his downfall.
Charlatan
Jesus would have just made one appear.
Buy airplanes?
Never heard of Oral Roberts huh?
Nobody could ever top Dr. Gene Scott......”Get on the phone! While I show a video of me riding my horse.”
That's what Satan does, and unfortunately, unwary Christians do also at his behest.
Let's abandon the unscriptural traditions of the church and embrace the gospel of the grace of Christ which includes no condemnation and a great inheritance of blessings to His saints because of Jesus' perfect sacrifice on the cross and the exchange that took place there.
God does not bring Gulfstream jets. God may strike one out of the sky, however.
Come on Copeland, aim high! You should have named and claimed a 787-9.
Backslider that I am, the good Lord has told me to be content with a lil’ old Cessna 170B.
My brother got hooked on Gene Scott for a time. Would put VHS videos of him on the TV all day long if I was visiting, thinking I’d be impressed. Surreal times.
You couldn’t help but to watch. Had no clue what he was actually trying to say, but it was fascinating, just the same.
