Oral Roberts Was Kenneth Copeland's “Spiritual Father” |

KNOWLEDGE OF MARRIAGE PRINCIPLES AND
ADULTERY How could Oral Roberts have faith and believe in healing and the sin of adultery at the same time! According to Wikipedia, Kenneth and Gloria Copeland both married and divorced previously. However, Kenneth Copeland was trained and supported by Roberts. Let me make the point clear. I believe in faith healing and I realize the church is a body with growing members. We don't learn everything at once. However, to be a minister that trains other ministers, at least a good knowledge of biblical principles should be expected. Known adulterers' confessions should not be accepted without evidence of separating from the illicit relationship. Men living in adultery, a continuous sin, certainly should not be established as teachers and preachers. The important question is did Mr. Roberts just unknowingly ignore the illegitimacy of his marital background or was he aware of it? Most schools are more discriminate than for him to not have known it. If he had known Copeland was a former divorcee as so was his wife, did he just ignore the Scriptures and train him anyway? Were there righteous men needing training that he may have helped and overlooked? Roberts was negligent and a partaker of the sin of passing this adulterous man on as a minister of God. Much of the deterioration of the 60's was due to fornication and adultery. People turned to drugs and alcohol to alleviate their depression of the horrifying, immoral circumstances of the time. Our nation and people have been going downhill severely because of lack of real Christian leadership and the rise of dumb-down preachers. Sadly, instead of churches and schools aiding ministers of sexual delusion and disappointment, this time and era should have been used as a great opportunity for encouraging and supporting chastity preachers to speak out against the demise of Christian morality so as to lift up the Christian standard for the country. They should have refused training for men for office who did not have acceptable, marital credentials. Ministers Should Have Known The Biblical Principle According to Gloria's previous divorce, Kenneth is an adulterer and Gloria is an adulteress.

Didn't Roberts think he had an obligation to let people know of the Copeland's divorce background? How much did he think of his supporters' opinions? How did the Copeland's keep their previous divorces so quiet! Just shows us how weak and dumbed down by the media our society is so as not to report and expose adultery-prone preachers until they get rich. Believe me, if I had known of his former circumstances, I would have exposed this man right off the bat. If people knew this and did not expose it, but talk about other things that may not even be important, how bad off is our nation and religious culture!

We (especially our institutions!) must not build developments on credit upon interest, nor depend on the world system of finance and allow it to make us as slaves.
Kenneth And Gloria Copeland: Wealthy Illegitimate Couple
Email responses: I received an email reply from the Admissions Graduate Education department of Oral Roberts University on Jan. 24, 2013 saying, “It seems you should be examining your own heart if you spend this much time and effort criticizing other ministries. They will answer to God - as will you.” The Lord rebuke the above official for the inconsiderate and unGodly remark. I will do everything I can to prevent people from falling into the ditch, sin, grief, misery and pain. I will listen to God's word and continue to “Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.” (II Timothy 4:2) |
WE ARE IN AN ADULTEROUS CULTURE CRISIS It is not just Southern Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, Roman Catholic, Mennonite, Pentecostal, and other denominations. Legalized adultery is rampant throughout our world today. People support the wicked ministers but will hardly listen to the righteous. Don't look unto pastors to tell you what marriage is and isn't; religious officials vary with their interpretations and also their misconceptions when they have them. The law of God (Torah—and Genesis: Matthew 19:3-9) does not vary! Wanna-be-married preachers (although they may be adulterers) and great speakers with very large audiences are confusing forgiveness for a previous marital relationship as an excuse to evade the issue of morality and chastity in a consecutive relationship. In Copeland's case, he had no right to marry Gloria if she was divorced. If a woman should put away her husband and marry another man, she commits adultery ( Mk. 10:12). Any man who marries her that is put away from her husband commits adultery (Lk. 16:18). I won't even go into Kenneth's previous marriage. It is highly unlikely Gloria was a virgin (being divorced) when she married Kenneth. I know that sounds funny but virginity is a prerequisite for a woman to marry unless she is a chaste widow. A person contradicting the Scripture and living in willful disobedience has no real testimony of God (it is delusion): You were born again as a child of light, so that light is in you in its most powerful form. But it cannot shine forth as long as you keep clouding it with strife, unbelief and unforgiveness. If you want to walk in the full power of that light, you’ll have to repent of all those things. I don’t mean just feel sorry for it. Repentance isn’t just being sorry, it’s getting in agreement with God about those things, acknowledging to Him that they’re wrong, and then believing you receive your forgiveness for it and your cleansing from it. Once you’ve done that, determine to become so committed to keeping God’s command of love that you’d rather die than violate it. If someone mistreats you, take the position Jesus and Stephen did when they looked at those who were about to murder them and said, “Father, forgive them….” That kind of love literally arms you with light. It protects you so that the ugly stuff people say and do doesn’t bother you. You stop worrying about how they’re treating you and concern yourself instead with how you’re treating them. I’ll never forget the day the Lord showed me that perspective. I’d been moping around because I felt like Gloria wasn’t paying attention to me the way I thought she should, and I said to myself, Aw, she doesn’t care about me anyway. The second I said that, the Spirit of God jerked me to attention and almost hollered at me. It’s none of your business whether she cares about you or not! It’s your business to care for her! It’s enough for you to know that I care about you. So you see to it that you care for her and whether she cares a thing about you or not is between Gloria and Me! The Lord’s tone of voice was so strong it left me trembling. I didn’t want Him to ever have to speak to me like that again. So I committed myself right then and there to do what He was telling me to do. As a result, Gloria and I have walked in the light where our marriage is concerned, and the devil hasn’t been able to touch it. It’s like heaven on earth in our house. Taken from the webpage: Delight in the Good Life, by Kenneth Copeland, on Jan. 18, 2013. I personally believe that deceivers no matter how much money they have do not have real joy that God gives to those who bear fruit for him (Gal. 5:22). So I do not admire men of dishonest gain, nor want to share any part of their deception! I must say that I did have dreams for my humble ministry and that it could have been much greater if I had the financial funding, such as helping the poor with a community, farm and school, but with whatever it, even as it is, contributes to the work of God it does, I am glad. At least I've been honest and helpful to the people as God has shown me. I know many that have read or heard my teaching have not been able to continue and go into sexual immorality without knowledge of my disapproval. My hands are clean and I had no part in their sin. I also believe that many have been lifted to a higher spiritual plane and may be blessed for the rest of their life through the works God has done in me. Halleluyah. |
