I have been watching Kenneth Copeland in the mornings and enjoy what he has to say, but everytime I do a search on him bad stuff comes up sugesting he is a false profit.
I'm just trying to make some sense out of life. Televangelism seems to promise everything including a kitchen sink.

NO! Next time you watch a televangelist pay attention to how long it takes him to ask for money in some shape or form and then how often throughout the show.. There may be one or two that are not crooks who pray on the elderly and hopeless by promising them healing and salvation for their tithes. But the very worst of all is Robert Tilton. If he keeps it up I am afraid there is a spot for him in Hell.

There's a lot of jealousy out there, which always adds to the conflict, but Kenneth preaches some far out stuff on occassion, he has most of his family on the ministry payroll, and he likes to fly around in very expensive aircraft, whenever possible.
It's hard to tell if these guys are in it for the money, for the fame, or for God.

Here is an easy way to judge people.
Copeland asks for money
the people who call him a false prophet are not asking you for money.
You have to judge for yourself, and do not accept others opinions for something this important to you,
Personally, I consider ALL televangelists to be crooks and worse.
But then, I'm atheist

Are used car salesmen honest? Televangelism is not religion it is salesmanship. If you want to grow spiritually, do it by individual study, personal reflection, and talking with people that you trust.

No. They're all about money. If you've been watching, they will say something like send me money so I can continue spreading God's message. Then you find out that they live in a mansion & ride in a limo. Mother Theresa was a good person. Ghandi was a good person. They didn't care about money (Jesus)

The are almost all crazy as can be. They teach completely false doctrine. And many wind up in court or jail for fraud. Stay away from the tube.

100% of these guys are rip off artists. They take from the poor, and give it to themselves. Don't be a sheeple....If I shook hands with anyone of these guys, I'd have to count my fingers afterwards...
