This video of Prosperity Pimp Kenneth Copeland reveals so much.

1. Copeland’s use of “lady”, “sweetheart”, “babe”, and “you have pretty eyes” is so condescending to this female reporter.
2. At one point, Copeland aggressively leans over the door and gets in this reporter’s face.
3. The Abrahamic Covenant does not include riches for us.  We are not under the Abrahamic Covenant anyway.  Christians are under the New Covenant provided by Jesus Christ.
4. Copeland says he can’t prepare to preach while around “common people.  As a preacher myself, being around everyday people living everyday lives & experiencing everyday problems enables (along with the study of Scripture) me to preach better.
5. Copeland and others of his ilk twist (and twist and twist) Scriptures to say what they want them to say concerning healing and wealth.  They never apply basic hermeneutical principles that seasoned and respected theologians use to interpret Scripture.
6. And, yes, I’m sorry…but he’s just creepy.

Be assured:  the Prosperity Gospel is an oxymoron.  It is not the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  It is not a form of Christianity that we should just excuse with “Well, he talks about Jesus”.

The Prosperity Gospel is dangerous, unbiblical, and only makes rich the ones who preach it.
