Kenneth Copeland

It's unbelievable the way this man can come up with so many unscriptural assertions(Jesus was tormented in hell, God is 6' 2" tall and weighs 200lbs, Adam was so pure and glowing in his appearance before the fall that you couldn't even look at him, etc, etc)and still have a following. So many people have their ears tickled by this man, that they don't even bother to hold him to any accountability...just keep on giving him their money so he and his wife can live it up. Here's something that the majority of "tithers" don't realize, and what I bet Copeland and MOST prosperity pimps DO know, but DON"T WANT YOU TO KNOW..."tithes" in the scriptures WERE NEVER A MONETARY COMMODITY. Tithes consisted of products grown from the land(Lev 27:30) and cattle(Lev 27:32), and the ONLY people oblidged to tithe were FARMERS, and the tithe was always to be EATEN(Deut 12:17,18). It was to be given to the Levitical priests(Num 18:24;Neh 10:38,39), only because they did not receive any allotment of land in the promised land, and also to be eaten by widows, strangers and orphans(Deut 14:29). It was a MOSAIC LAW, which was DONE AWAY WITH by the new covenant. Don't be fooled by the pimps assertion that tithes today is supposed to be money, because it was NEVER money. In fact, read in Deut 14 where it was told that if the place where God ordained the tithe to be eaten was too far to travel for those BRINGING the tithe, then they were to EXCHANGE IT FOR MONEY(vs 25)and then USE that money to buy WHATEVER THEIR SOUL DESIRED(FOOD OR WINE)and then, EAT IT IN THE APPOINTED PLACE. It was never used to line the levite priests pockets, and never used to "spread the gospel," as the pimps so often decry. I didn't mean to make this comment a lecture on the error of "christian tithing." But so many paople are truly ignorant of what tithing really was, and that is how the pimps take full advantage of very well-meaning christians, and are getting rich. "My people perish for lack of knowledge."
