Now follow me in this and don’t let your tradition trip you up.’ He said, ‘Think this way—a twice-born man whipped Satan in his own domain.’ And I threw my Bible down … like that. I said, ‘What?’ He said, ‘A born-again man defeated Satan, the firstborn of many brethren defeated him.’ He said, ‘You are the very image, the very copy of that one.’ I said, ‘Well now you don’t mean, you couldn’t dare mean, that I could have done the same thing?’ He said, ‘Oh yeah, if you’d had the knowledge of the Word of God that He did, you could’ve done the same thing, ‘cause you’re a reborn man too.”
Why this idiot still has a tv ministry is beyond me.
WHY it is okay to preach such DUNG?
The statement is qualified with an IF. IF Copeland knew the word like Jesus did. However, the IF is not enough to substantiate the statement!
It was not how much of the word Jesus knew, it was that Jesus was the WORD. This is something Copeland, or myself for that matter can never be. We can not BE the WORD.
Also, to claim Jesus as being Born Again is to me a mistake of great proportion. Jesus had no need of being born again. He, the WORD, was made flesh, but, the fullness of the Godhead dwelt in Him. He was Christ at His birth, as much as at His death, or His ressurection. He did not progressively become the WORD. He grew as a man, but there was no progression of His Diety. He had no need to have a second birth. His first birth was for our benefit, and not for His.
I think if anyone believes these statements attributed to Copeland, they are wrong.

Hinn may lay an egg, a Dollar may not be worth two cents, ERekA might be a Star in a Top Hat, Copeland-Hagin may be like a can of snuff in some rich dude's back pocket, but I'm still Pentecostal to the bone.
