Kenneth Copeland 33rd degree Freemason Exposed wrote Dr. Carl
McIntire. So-called Faith teacher Kenneth Copeland reveals the
spirit behind his teaching and those of other Faith teachers
around the country such as Kenneth Hagin, etc. Copeland has said
numerous times in seminars around the world, a statement used
by the serpent, Lucifer to deceive Adam and Eve in the garden:
"God's reason for creating Adam was His desire to reproduce
Himself. I mean a reproduction of Himself, and in the Garden
of Eden He did that. He was not a little like God. He was not
almost like God. He was not subordinate to God even. Adam is
as much like God as you could get, just the same as Jesus. When
He came into the earth He said, "If you've seen Me you've
seen the Father." He wasn't a lot like God - He's God manifested
in the flesh. And I want you to know something: Adam, in the
garden of Eden, was God manifested in the flesh!" (Following
the Faith of Abraham," part 1, side 1 - Cassette obtained
from Kenneth Copeland Ministries, Bath, UK)
In this article we will unveil the truth of Kenneth Copeland's
Masonic membership. Kenneth is a closet, secret Freemason who
does not want anyone to know this truth.. [one] needs to look
deeply.. [for] specific clues. It is a trademark of most proud
Masons to leave key symbols veiled in pictures and .. various
keywords in speeches or secret handshakes. Proof of this can
be found in Masonry's most common definition of itself as being
'Freemasonry is a peculiar system of Morality, veiled in Allegory,
and illustrated by Symbols.'
This is taken directly from the second degree initiation and
the fact that it is still currently used was proven to me recently
when I attended a Masonic open day and heard that same description.
The application of this quote in regard to Copeland is discussed
below. Kenneth Copeland started his ministry as a pilot for Oral
Roberts, a 33rd Degree Freemason, Kenneth appeared on TV sometime
around June 1997 praising Oral Roberts, since they had become
close friends. Evidence that Oral Roberts is a 33rd Degree Freemason
will be published soon.
The Little "I AMs" - Professing To Be Gods: During
the ceremonies of the Masonic ritual for the Royal Arch degree,
the candidate is asked, "Brother Inspector, what are you?"
and he replies, "I AM THAT I AM," When Jesus told the
Jews, ".. before Abraham was "I AM.. ", he was
claiming to be the God of Moses who went by that name. This is
the reason they immediately tried to kill him. Kenneth Copeland
is claiming to be a God, as do all New Agers - Freemasons - Mormons!
- Kenneth Copeland chants the words "I AM," a Masonic
initiation term:
"And I say this with all respect, so that it don't upset
you too bad. But I say it anyway: When I read in the Bible where
He says, "I AM," I just smile and say, "Yes, I
AM, too." (Believers Voice of Victory broadcast, July 9,
1987)
- 33rd Degree Freemason Robert Schuller also encourages his
followers to chant "I AM:" "The most effective
mantras employ the "M" sound. You can get the feel
of it by repeating the words, "I am, I am," many times
over... Transcendental Meditation or TM.. is not a religion nor
is it necessarily anti-Christian." (Peace of Mind Through
Possibility Thinking, pp 131-32)
- Benny Hinn also tells Christian to chant "I AM:"
"Don't' tell me you have Jesus. You are everything He was
and everything He is and ever shall be.. Don't say, 'I have.'
Say, 'I AM, I AM, I AM, I AM, I AM." (Our Position in Christ
# 2 - The Word Made Flesh audiotape, Side 2) Masonic Androgyny
- Half Male, Half Female - Kenneth Copeland has stated that Jehovah
means Half Male / Half Female and that God is as much female
as he is male. You can see how this lends to the power behind
the homosexual movement that has invaded evangelical circles.
He amplifies this strange teaching by also saying that Adam was
originally half male and half female. According to the book.
"The Secret Teachings Of Freemasonry" by Gordon Mohr,
this is exactly what the Masonic Lodge teaches. (On pages 107-108).
In his first initiation stages he (the Freemason) learns: 1 -
That the rite of initiation for Apprentice Masons represents
in dramatic fashion the origin or birth of Nature's god - the
Great All. It signifies the non-existence of a supernatural person
God, such as that of Christianity. It signifies that the two
principles of "matter" and "form", "male"
and "female," are always eternally generating,"
(reproducing). It looks on God as a hermaphrodite, and creation
as the beginning of the "generation process." (Taken
from: Speculative Masonry, by Brother J. Yorke, Grand Master
of the Ancient Rite, p. 3 & 54)
The initiation rite into the Second Degree of Freemasonry,
represents the moral condition of nature's god, always in labor,
always reproducing. Again it looks on God as hermaphroditic,
and states that his name JEHOVAH, means "generation."
Meaning to say HE-SHE, the two sexes in one, (From Speculative
Masonry, p. 14 & Mackey's Lexicon, p. 126-129) The dual principle
of "male" and "female" is represented by
the "square and compass," The "compass" represents
OSIRIS, the male god of the Egyptians, while the "square"
is the symbol representing ISIS, the female goddess of Egypt
- both are sexual symbols. (Taken from: Ragon's Cours. Philosophique,
p. 102) This reference to the square and compass is significant
as Copeland has placed these symbols on one of his tape covers.
The New Planetary Theology - Copeland teachings are similar
to those of the early Mormon leaders, who were also Freemasons.
While Mormons teach that God lives on a planet near the star
Kolob - Copeland says that his hermaphromiditic god also lives
on a Mother Planet. He says: "Heaven has a north and a south
and an east and a west. Consequently, it must be a planet."
(Spirit, Soul and Body I - audiotape # 01-0601, side 1) "You
don't think earth was first, do you? Huh? Well, you don't think
that God made man in His image, and then made earth in some other
image? There is not anything under this whole sun that's new.
Are you hearing what I'm saying? This is all a copy. It's a copy
of home. It's a copy of the Mother Planet. Where God lives, He
made a little one just like His and put us on it." (Following
the Faith of Abraham I, audiotape # 01-3001, side 1) Reducing
Deity - The Ultimate Blasphemy - Copeland describes God as: "a
being that is very uncanny the way he's very much like you and
me. A being that stands somewhere around 6'2, 6'3." that
weighs somewhere in the neighborhood of a couple of hundred pounds
or a little better, has a span of 9 inches across." (Spirit,
Soul and Body I, audiotape Side 1, 1985) "God spoke Adam
into existence in authority with words. These words struck Adam's
body in the face. His body and God were exactly the same size."
(Holy Bible, Kenneth Copeland Reference Edition 1991, 45, emphasis
in original) " [Adam] was the copy, looked just like [God].
If you stood Adam upside God, they look exactly alike. If you
stood Jesus and Adam, sided by side, they would look and sound
exactly alike." (Authority of the Believer IV 1987, audiotape
# 01-0304, side 1) Copeland's Use of Masonic Symbols - Remember
the main definition of Masonry as being "a peculiar system
of Morality, veiled in Allegory, and illustrated by Symbols.'
- The Masonic symbol of Compass and Square appears on the cover
of Copeland's audiotape series entitled 'How To Build Your Firm
Foundation." He has placed the chief Masonic symbols of
the square and compass on this album identifying what he is and
knowing that most people will not understand the true meaning
that he has veiled in allegory.
- More symbols of Freemasonry are incorporated into Copeland's
"Shout" magazine for kids. Around Kenneth's neck is
an eagle above an inverted triangle. I have seen this symbol
on a Masonic certificate. The female in this Shout picture has
an inverted 5 pointed star placed on her shirt. This symbol represents
the "Order of the Eastern Star" which is a Masonic
order for women! Is this a coincidence? Copeland has placed the
main symbols of Masonry and the Eastern Star on his covers, you
draw your own conclusion.
- When 33rd Degree Freemason Robert Schuller wanted to express
his secret membership in the Lodge he used the 33rd Degree symbol
of a double headed eagle. He sent it out to many people who probably
had no idea what he was declaring to his Masonic brothers worldwide.
33rd Degree Freemason Oral Robert used the inverted triangle
in his University logo which has a hidden Masonic design to it.
An interesting fact is that the Freemasons incorporated the symbols
of the square, compass, inverted star and triangle into the street
layout of Washington D.C. These are the same 3 symbols that Copeland
has placed on the 2 mentioned covers.
To summarize:
- 1. Kenneth Copeland started work under a 33rd Degree Freemason
with whom he has strong ties.
- 2. He claims to be 'I AM,' which is a Masonic initiation
term.
- 3. His teaching about his hermaphroditic god match up exactly
with what Masonry teaches.
- 4. His teaching on the size and likeness of God match up
with what the early Freemason-Mormon leaders also taught.
- 5. Add to this the veiled symbols of Freemasonry that he
has placed on 2 covers, possibly more.
There is an old saying, "If it looks like a duck, walks
like a duck and talks like a duck - then it must be a duck!
I did not set out with a preconceived idea and try to pin
a tag on these men. I have simply come to a conclusion based
on their own words, teachings and observation of their activities.
I would have never suspected Copeland of being a Freemason if
it were not for his heretical teachings that line up perfectly
with Freemasonry. He also espouses a teaching that is pure and
utter blasphemy - that God was gang raped and sodomized by homosexual
Roman soldiers. If so, then God's blood would be impure and unable
to redeem!
