The thing that I really don't understand is this vitriol for the Copelands. I personally believe in speaking in the spirit, but I don't hate the Baptists for not. I don't hate the Catholics because they don't submerge during baptism.
We rush to judgement screaming GREED! But the screamers don't know these people. How are we to judge without knowing all the facts? How are they going to let every nutjob look at their finances? There are some kooks out there. Why can't a get out of my nice car and help the poor? Why are there poor people in America, the land of opportunity? Why are we throwing KCM to the wolves because he said at the cross vs while his body was in the tomb and he was in hell. (If you knew anything about him, that is what he teaches) Why are we conviced that since we can see his house from sattilites that it is too big, Guess what you can see my 2000 lb honda civic on google earth. There is always going to be differences of opinions and interpretation of the Bible. There is always going to be different parts of the body that are good at different things.

As someone who has watched this KCM for years, I'd say there are flaws in the priorities of the message that they put forth as a whole. But they do have some very valid points. I went to EMIC (the church on KCM's property) for several years. They give away ALOT of money. Every time a police officer or fireman died. They WITHOUT fanfare, donated a LARGE amount of money to these families in the DFW area. I'm talking over 50,000 dollars. No strings attached, They'd ask to pray, with the family, use it to open a door, if they said no, they left the check and left. I went to a school where every day people were trashing that ministry. But "someone" always paid for most of the missions trips that these same students went on. Without advertisement and fanfare. When the chuch the school was in had financial trouble, guess who came in and took over financial responsibility for the school's shortfalls. That ministry literally gives away MILLIONS of dollars each year, to different ministries, church, widows of slain law enforcement officers. So before you "cast the first stone" at Kenneth Copeland and his General Motors SUV. Look at yourself, at your church, how much income do you give. And thank God, that he has blessed one of your BROTHERS IN CHRIST. So that he can be a blessing, and live in comfort, and enjoy what God has given him.
On our own we are little more than bits of stone and glass. Together we are the Body of Christ. Holy Bible: Mosaic is an invitation to experience Christ in His Word and in the responses of his people. Each week, as you reflect on guided Scripture readings aligned with the church seasons, you will receive a wealth of insight from historical and contemporary writings.
