Right-wing televangelist Kenneth Copeland is begging viewers to send him cash to support his private jet so he won’t have to deal with coronavirus vaccine mandates to travel, which he called “the mark of the beast.” Copeland, who in the past has claimed that he needed a private jet to avoid demons on commercial flights, made the claim during his VICTORYthon fundraiser on Tuesday. “You get into this situation, ‘We’re not gonna let you fly unless you’re vaccinated,’” he said. “Well, to me, that’s the mark of the beast.” Copeland added that it wasn’t the vaccine itself that was the mark of the beast.
“Not the vaccination,” he said. “I’m not taking the vaccination, but you can do what you wanna do.” He didn’t elaborate, yet the implication was that it was the requirement to be vaccinated that was the mark of the beast.
Copeland, who owns a fleet of private jets and an airport, also griped that he needs to fly privately because too many people want to talk to him on commercial flights.

Copeland is a false teacher.
His son is bad news
I am willing to bet Copeland is vaxxed
yes ... his son is bad news ... but I won’t judge the father by the acts of his son ...
Money grubbing non-Christian phony “Christian” “ministers”.
When did Copeland get labeled “right wing”?
Of course I cannot find it right now, but the Old Testament states a priest’s children should be godly and not trouble-some. That’s greatly paraphrased...but it doesn’t speak well when a pastor’s kid is problematic.
Money grubbing non-Christian phony “Christian” “ministers”.
His lifestyle is as bad as the politicians steeling your money through taxes to buy the votes of those who they give your money to.
Yeshua preached that the power-centers of the things of this world were not part of his kingdom, whether that be power used by wealth or powers of secular government. They were not and are not from Him or part of Him.
If the televangelist were really building His kingdom the vast bulk of their “preaching” enterprise would not have made them wealthy, it would have - 99%b - gone to their supposed “missions” and “ministries” and not to themselves so much as it has in so many cases.
Reminds me of “Ticket to Paradise” by Dire Straits.
The man with the diamond ring.
Make that “Ticket to Heaven”
Yes, he’s worse than internet scammers who scare little old ladies into giving them money.
well thank you
“Gives Christians a bad name.”
Actually the ones that give Christians a bad name are the Christians who listen and donate to him.
Makes my heart ache that nonsense like this will drive folks away from Christ Jesus. I pray that it does not.
**I’ve listened to many ... the only one I trust is Charles Stanley ...**
He’s a talented speaker, which is nothing new. I used to listen to him on my way home from an off the farm job. Preachers like him and Copeland, that either don’t preach Acts 2:38 as it is written, or not at all, are ‘Ahimaaz preachers’.
Ahimaaz was a messenger, and considered a good man by king David. David’s captain, Joab, knew Ahimaaz was not a first hand witness to Absalom’s death, and therefore not qualified to deliver the message about the army’s victory. He was determined to deliver a message to the king that would be missing a key fact, but ran anyway.
I was recently on a flight home from Tulsa. Really nice guy and gal sitting next to me. But as usual, as soon as they tried to talk to me I put my earbuds in and pretended to be listening to music. So right before we landed she handed me a card with some Bible stuff on it. I laughed, said thanks, and threw it in the nearest trash can. I hate when people try to talk to me on planes....or anywhere else for that matter. lol
**There are enough vapid fools in America to enrich this guy. This phenomena has been present and perennially recurring throughout recorded history.**
People love the compassionate message of Jesus: “neither do I condemn thee,” but don’t want to hear, “go and sin no more”.
You get an A+ for that comment :)
