Kenneth Copeland defends using three private jets in an Inside Edition interview In 2016 he called flying commercial getting in 'a long tube with demons'
The 82-year-old claims he wasn't talking about the people on planes
But he said watching someone get dragged off a plane made him want to punch
He asked: 'Do you think that's a good environment for a preacher to be?' and said: 'I can't be doing that when I'm getting ready to preach!'
Flying commercial meant 'he could no longer do what I was called to do' and hinted a risk he may lose his luggage was a concern
He defended hanging onto his estimated $760M wealth because he invested $25M in 2018 and says Jewish people 'believe in wealth'
Last year purchased a $3million Gulfstream V private jet from actor Tyler Perry
==============================================================
Televangelist Kenneth Copeland has appeared in a bizarre interview where he defends using three private jets to travel the world after previously claiming he didn't want to fly commercial with 'demons'.
The 82-year-old's chat with Inside Edition features him angrily pointing and staring the interviewer in one of the instances where he flares up after being confronted about his lavish lifestyle.
But at other moments Copeland has a cheerful demeanor and deflects questions by complimenting her on her eyes, praying for her, and even kissing her hand.
Lisa Guerrero caught up with Copeland estimated to be worth $760million in October 2018 after he last year purchased a $3million Gulfstream V private jet from producer and actor Tyler Perry.

Mostly elderly and widows........................
Why can’t he own 10 jets? His parishioners put up with it. They pay him.
Who cares?
I remember when Jim and Tammy Faye got into trouble for something like a misplaced $45,000 - petty cash at Heritage USA.
I’m a Jew but I’m pretty sure Inside Edition isn’t hitting up leftist Billionaires asking them to account for their use of stockholders’ money.
exactly- He’s definitely a ‘false teacher’- using text out of context to support his love of money and avoidance of sinners
The main thing about these TV shysters is they flaunt their wealth and practically dare the IRS to do anything..................
Hey, Robert Tilton was my favorite.
[[Why cant he own 10 jets? His parishioners put up with it. They pay him.

God cares- There’s nothing wrong with wealthy preachers- however, when they make money their god- and they dupe people into supporting their love of money, then there’s something wrong with that Biblicaly- They are not serving God- they are serving mammon- and shouldn’t be refereed to as a bible believing Church because they ignore scriptures to suit their pursuit of money- They work in a false church- and while the people supporting them have a right to do so- people also have a right to point out that he and his church is a false shyster church, and try to warn people to steer clear of him and his church
I have no problem with pastors/priest making a decent income, but this is obscene. It is clear in scripture that God does indeed prosper His faithful.
Guys like Copeland become a stumbling block to others by his opulent lifestyle. The other pastor (can’t think of his name) purchasing a $200K Lamborghini for his wife after there were allegations that he was having an affair was way outta line.
Tilton’s chicanery is always good for a laugh.
But Gene Scott made me laugh cuz he was funny.
No legitimate pastor ends up with a net worth of $760 million.
Dutch Sheets flies commercial.
Dutch Sheets?
1 Cor 4: 8 Already you have all you want! Already you have become rich! Without us you have become kings! And would that you did reign, so that we might share the rule with you! 9 For I think that God has exhibited us apostles as last of all, like men sentenced to death, because we have become a spectacle to the world, to angels, and to men. 10 We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You are held in honor, but we in disrepute. 11 To the present hour we hunger and thirst, we are poorly dressed and buffeted and homeless, 12 and we labor, working with our own hands. When reviled, we bless; when persecuted, we endure; 13 when slandered, we entreat. We have become, and are still, like the scum of the world, the refuse of all things.
That was John Gray, beloved of Oprah. He has a show on her network. He’s a piece of work.
He has always had the crazy eyes thing going on.
OMG.........I forgot about that........LOL
When I look at the wealth of the Vatican, I know it is not anything Jesus commissioned. Same when I look at a preacher with 760 million net worth and 3 jets.
This prosperity gospel is nothing we saw in Jesus example.
Camel, needle’s eye.
Some assembly required................
