"Prosperity gospel preacher Kenneth Copeland thanked Jesus for a dying man's seed offering of a Bentley with a Breitling clock, which he had given in the hope that it would bring healing.
At Kenneth Copeland Ministries' annual Southwest Believers' Convention in Fort Worth, Texas, held from July 29 to Aug. 3, the 87-year-old televangelist regaled attendees with stories about his passion for Breitling watches, of which he owns around 36 coveted timepieces."

Irony is a pastor asking you for your money to solve church "problems" but advising you to pray to solve yours.
“Money is your problems so give it to me instead”
As a Muslim, I never understand this so-called prosperity gospel.
If any imam dares to flaunt wealth or directly ask money for his personal benefits, he wouldn't be an imam in the next hour.
@@espenpettersen5272 You are so right 😂
@@waryaawariiri1812 this isn't mainstream Christianity, Catholics or mainline protestants would also reject this guy immediately.
@@waryaawariiri1812 it's because there aren't stringent requirements in most countries, including here, of what you can declare yourself about religion. Most of us find prosperity gospel preachers abhorrent as you do.
For a guy that claims heaven is glorious, they sure like life on earth with all it's goodies a lot.
Exactly. They wanna live their best life now. But I couldn’t care less about this world. Take the whole world, give me Jesus!
@@ChristIsKing_ Oh, the height and depth of mercy!
Well it is called The Prosperity Gospel.
I passed a young man sitting in a car on my street. When I came back he was still there so I stopped and asked if he was OK. He was out of gas and had no money so I went and got him a couple of gallons. THAT is how you improve your karma.
I was a homeless veteran, and I was given money for gas, when I needed it most. It got me to an appointment in another city, for permanent housing and then I got a job at Amazon to support myself. I've given back to the homeless in my community, and assist homeless vets. I am grateful for everything positive in my life, and for people like you.
Thank you for being a decent human. You'll receive compensation somehow, I'm sure 😊 (not that it's done expecting something. It seems to happen without expecting it.) My dad is like that, helps anyone (sometimes a bit too much, but I respect.) 78 y/o, healthier than most 30-40 y/o people. No cholesterol issues, sugar, blood pressure, heart, weight, nothing (except hearing from military and normal aging aches.) Drs always think his med history is incomplete (cause no meds, no issues, unlikely for a 78 y/o.) I have to assure Drs I know his history, I'm the one that arranges appointments, etc...
He's always happy, and happy to help anyone, and I know that makes him happy, and happiness lowers cortisol, increases oxytocin, and other stuff. IT'S ALL WIN-WIN, DO IT!!!
Absolutely...its not the quantity you give, its the good stewardship of putting the money wisely toward actually helping someone.
Step 1, remove the tax exemption law for churches.
@@dominicadamo7851 step three global domination
The only tax exemption is on the church property.
Step 2, close the churches.

British/Irish comedian Spike Milligan was at a grand event and was introduced to the Arch Bishop of Canterbury. Spike asked him how he got there- the bishop said by car, Spike dug deeper, establishing it was a Bentley limousine, and the that the bishop went most places by limousine. The bishop asked why he was so interested and Spike answered "Because your boss chose to travel by donkey, I was wondering why you are more important than him."
I love Spike, legend.
"I got off the train at (I forgot the town) which was hard. because the train didn't stop there" - Spike

“All the disciples were in one Accord.” That earned a chuckle, so kudos to whomever came up with it!
Tax the corrupt churches, this is insane
The worst part about this story and these prosperity preachers in general is that they get all of their gifts and wealth TAX FREE!! 🤬😡
TBF, I don't think that's true on most of the stuff they get, just that their platform gets them all this side interest that they then can monetize.
@@chikerb9 and,,, free social security
I allways knew that Russians are not the sharpest pens in the case but amerikans too😂😂
Just the property tax is free for the church building in Texas.
Part of my family fell down the televangelist rabbit hole decades ago and most of the kids totally turned against it, and resented their parents. One stayed an Evangelical and he lives in Africa. He was helping some millionaire church program in Uganda, and I later found out about what they are doing to LGBTQ people there. It makes me sick. I was sympathetic to him before but I've recently realized after that, that he is too far gone to save. I won't talk to him anymore.
What pisses me the most is your government gives this creature full and complete immunity to fleece the flock.... and tax exemption!.
@@markcunneen8525 before government social programs the churches helped the widows and orphans in communities. There were no millionaire preachers. Now these mega churches give nothing back to their communities and hoard their fortunes. I say, just like my charitable donations come tax time, these churches should only get a tax break for the charity they do. And I don’t mean missions to Africa. I mean actually helping people who need it to get back on their feet.
As Hitchens said of Falwell, 'It's a shame there isn't a hell for him to go to...'
The greed of these crooks is unbelievable! All in the name of Jesus!
@@xandrathemedium5935 demon 😈 eyes
This is why religions should no longer be tax exempt!
Neither do charitys hypocrit.
I have said it before, I will restate it again... WHY is it that when these "men of God" need help (...read money) they ask YOU. But when YOU need help, they tell you to "just trust God."
not sure who you are talking about, when you need help, you go ask your church, and they help you..........

@@pmwiky one of my favorite George Carlin lines for me was “I didn’t know God was so broke!” 😂
It's hard to decide what's more troubling: the existence of people who exploit others or the sheer number of gullible Americans who fall for their schemes.
Revoke his Tax exempt status retroactively and get that money back!!
Never trust a preacher who tells how to vote or a Politician who tells you how to pray!!! 😂😂😂
I’m a Christian and I go to a wonderful church that is truly dedicated to saving souls. I really don’t feel that sorry for those people because they choose to follow those preachers that rob them because they want to be at a church of with status. Some of them choose to not be at a humble church that wants you to do good works in the name of the Lord. I pray they see the light and become humble and find a humble minister
@@marcosolo6491 it’s your opinion. I don’t tell you how to live life so don’t tell me. I respect all people so it’s your best bet to respect me and my beliefs. When you don’t it just shows the type of person you are. Have a blessed nght
It's horrible. But sheep are sheep. Even if the shepherd is bad
The Love of money is the root of all evil. Mr. Copeland has BEEN off the path. 😢Discernment is important.
He's a money preacher tickling peoples ears.

The Honda joke at the end is priceless. Thank you for that.
As they “there’s a sucker born every minute”. No truer words were ever spoken.
These institutions should not be tax-exempt.
There are actually a small number of Christian churches that opt NOT to be 501(c)3 tax exempt because they don't like the trade off of having the government limit what they can say. Look online for Chuck Baldwin in Montana. His website has a link to several of the other churches that actually pay taxes so they can be free of government speech restrictions.
How many poor and hungry could be fed with the value of that watch? Rich preachers are the ultimate hypocrisy. Matthew 19:24
They are totally gullible - and that's why Trump goes after them.
Just how creepy this is
Tax these people and we can fund social security forever.
As a Christian, I find this man to be a blasphemous charlatan.
The rest of us simply call him a conman..
@@marcosolo6491 Oxford Dictionary: "a person falsely claiming to have a special knowledge or skill; a fraud. "a self-confessed con artist and charlatan". ✌🏼
If you are a Christian, your pastor should speak out against this
Imagine if he sold all his riches and helped the poor and homeless......what a concept!!!! These people are cruel and evil and are obviously deceiving people, it is happening all over the world. Itt is why I left this movement and went back to the Methodist church.
The red tie is familiar. The minute you see it, ask yourself how much money you're willing to part with for no return.
"a fool and his money are soon parted" perfectly describes Kenneth Copeland followers. SMH
Dude literally looks like a skinwalker
A fool and their money are soon parted.
I can’t count how many times I’ve told folks I know who are religious that if their pastors drive a nicer car than them, then it’s time to go find another church.
And he brags about it to their faces. If Satan was real Kenneth has to be him.
ALL Properity preachers make me sick.
Baptist preachers lol
Do they every wonder WHY Copeland looks more like a demon than any other living being on this planet?
So it's not just me, He DOES look like a demon?
They need to tax these people.
But that would take away funds from good-hearted charities that help needy people to afford private jets!
Put Jim Bakker on the same list as Copeland. Also comparing the Bentley with the camel trying to go through the eye of a needle was pretty spot on.
Absolute fact
Also add John Hagee...genocide supporter extraordinaire. Anything "Israel" does, he will try to justify with the bible. Baby killing...no problem...Bombing churches...no problem...perverted assaults on prisoners...no problem...He will approve of literally anything no matter how horrific.
Bakker’s scam is so obvious just like Copeland’s. That silver solution crap ain’t no cure.
He's the money changers the Bible talked about. He would sell Christ for a car. These prosperity villains make me sick to my stomach.
Matthew 19:24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
On behalf of Christ, as a follower….
This is Disgusting and has nothing to do with Jesus
Nothing
He's living the THUG LIFE like a Pharaoh.
He's covered in Gems and Gold while flying though the Clouds, carried by his blind and loyal Sheep. God really loves him.
He is a revolting fraudster..
That guy is so so so creepy. He makes my skin crawl.
If Jesus was alive today, he would be driving Kenneth Copeland from the temple.
@@charliet1882 with big whips
We have 653,000 homeless and 40 million in poverty and this so-called Christian is bragging about how many expensive watches he has and gifts he has gotten. What the hell is wrong with people. UGH
As an atheist who's pretty knowledgeable about most religions (always know/understand the other side's mindset/argument) it's SOOOO much fun throwing religious quotes/ideas from their own texts back at them. It's hilarious. Keep it up Cenk!
Exactly.
It's the same thing in the Trump cult
Tax exemption should go away.
These people know he's rich beyond belief...and yet will still give him money.
They know Trump is a billionaire...and still they will give him money.
But ask them to give to the poor and their reaction is.....
"BOOTSTRAPS!
WHY WOULD I GIVE MY HARD-EARNED MONEY TO THEM!
BOOTSTRAPS!"
These people remind of American taxpayers who send their money overseas while their countrymen are homeless, in debt, without healthcare, and broke. 😢
COPELANDS EYES ARE BLACK. THERE IS NO SOUL. And anyone who can believe these things as he says thank you Jesus, does NOT know who Jesus is.
When he gives the watch to a poor family I will believe he knows Christ.
All churches should be taxed.
I'm a Christian but....that dude looks Hella evil , I've seen a video of him loosing his cool with a reporter and it was eerie and disturbing
My mother gave to guys like this for years. We lived in poverty, but every so often she'd send a few precious dollars to these demons.
She died from lung cancer, every bit as poor.
I hate these preachers and think what they do ought to be a crime. They belong in prison with every other fraudster.
Yup, obviously if there was a magic pie man in the sky these clowns wouldn't exist.
He says “thank you jeezussss” like a snake 🐍
These easy marks are also Trump voters: people who believe that the wealth of their dear leader will magically enrich their own lives.
Both candidates do that...they get billions in donations and sell their souls to special interest mega-donors...then run political ads asking viewers to send their 5 dollars to "save America"...its disgusting.
Anyone can CLAIM to be Christian....doesn't mean that they are....
That pretty much describes most so-called American 'Christians.'
@@luisdavidllense2293 I would agree.
Don’t feel too sorry for the followers; I think they want to be like him.
that's a good point.

So sad for the believers 😢When I see this man spew all about hell and fury, his eyes go black, and to me, he actually looks like a demon.😱
It's 2024 not the dark ages, information is available to all that seek it.
Little sympathy for these folks.
There's a story in the Bible saying the gospel is not for sale. These people do not read their Bibles because if they did, they would have left
Copeland should be ashamed and fearful of God’s judgement.
I doubt he actually believes in what he is preaching!
Yup, pretty gross. FYI, Jesus healed for free.
The government needs to remove tax exempt status from the churches
If the two church can prove it is actually doing good for the people then they get their tax exempt status back.
It should be a case by case basis not blanketed
My mom always said that guy was a crook and that god sees him. It's very sad that everyone wants things to be instantly solved. This is not how real life works.
There is no god. Engineers and scientists solve our human problems, not preachers. It's time to wake up to this reality.
Take away his riches and watch him pray to the dark lord for it all back.
Tax them all!😡🇺🇸
It’s not a surprise that the same people willing give all their $ to Trump. They are used to it.
Tax the churches
Thank you guys for exposing these types of evil frauds.
Tax the churches !!!!!
Copeland should come equipped with horns
Strip tax-exempt status from these mega churches.
There are religious people who use religion as a tool to gain salvation, and then others who use it as a tool to gain abundance. Religion is a tool, but unfortunately for the salvation seekers they aren’t always willing or able to recognize and protect themselves from the abundance seekers.
No wonder so many Americans vote for Trump! Kenneth Copeland wouldn't be tolerated anywhere else let alone supported. What is wrong with Americans?
Once you get them hooked, and with lots of social/group think reinforcement, it's near impossible to leave. That's what this is. I reckon if you saw the whole clip, or more of it for context, he's not bragging. He's demonstrating how jeebus favors believers, because believers are good people, and good things come to good people. Rich people must be really smart, and really good business people by default - how else did they get rich? If you follow the program, and give until it hurts, it could happen to you someday too. If not in this life, in the next one, for eternity, just you wait and see! Appeal to selfishness and greed. Works on most people. Trump University.
It's not terribly far off certain aspects of the primary buddhist religion where I live over in S.E. Asia. Be a good person and good things will happen to you. Give money to the monks at the temple is called "making merit". It's not making merit. It's buying merit. Same program, just in a different wrapper.
There's a minority knot of hopeful christian converts here, easy prey for pyramid scams in the hopes of pulling themselves up into the middle class selling jesus' Herbalife health drink powders. Remember Amway? Pretty much run out of the USA years ago, but there's a brick and mortar Amway store/office a few miles from my house here. Like christian missionaries, once the jig is up, they migrate to developing countries abroad for fresh, fertile hunting grounds for gullible, easy prey.
The Grift is alive and well. 🤑💰
@@jeffbeck8993 an insightful (and accurate) comment.
Kenneth Copeland is the Donald Trump of Prosperity Gospel Preachers. Just another con man.
What a sick religion. Wonder how these disciples believed in such kind of religion. Religion is where all nonsense is believed. What a sad thing.
"It's morally wrong to allow suckers to keep their money". W.C. Fields
Yes, there would be no charlatans if the world wasn't so full of willing sheep.
Such a monster! You can see the evil in his face
The American version of Christianity is such a bastardization of the original faith. The same people who preach about Jesus in America on Sundays, are the same people who would call Jesus a socialist and crucify him again. I mean when you have JD Vance in his own book talking about how his grandmother worshiped two gods: Jesus Christ and America, you know these people have lost the message. America is not a God, the constitution is not a Holy Book, the flag is not the cross, and Capitalism and Greed are not virtues. These are the same people that Jesus spoke of when he said many will call him lord and he will turn them away and say "I never knew you". These people have no understanding of Jesus' teachings.
I remember the time COPELAND and his crew got together and *BANISHED COOOOOVID* the demon ( nothing happened until a year later 🙄
I remember reading this kind of thing in his newsletter 45 years ago. It made me sick then.
Why are people still attending this "church"!!!????😡😡😳😳😳😳 I just don't understand!!
They are brainwashed and indoctrinated.
Ironically, the existence of this man proves there is no god.
Just because there are vile, evil people misleading others, claiming they are the real deal, does not mean there's no God.
Their actions reveal who they are serving, and it is not God.
Wow. Copeland eyes enough tell you he is evil
There is an upside-down bar stool in hell waiting for Copeland.
"It's more difficult for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. Unless you have enough ice on your watch to buy a small city." - Jesus after getting paid off by the Romans, probably.
Ask him what Jebus said about rich men and heaven ?
Humm... didn't Jesus say give up your worldly possessions 🤔
He looks SO EVIL!!!
He is evil plain and simple.
