In this article we will attempt for the first time to unveil the
truth of Kenneth Copeland's Masonic membership. As Kenneth is a closet, secret
Freemason who does not want anyone to know this truth, it will be a involving
task that needs to look deeply into any specific clues. It is a trademark of
most proud Masons to leave key symbols veiled into pictures and also to use
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 evidence 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 regards to Copeland will be discussed below.
Kenneth Copeland started his ministry under Oral Roberts 33rd Degree
Freemason as a pilot. Kenneth was on TV sometime around June 1997 praising
Oral Roberts as they are close friends. Evidence that Oral Roberts is a
33rd Degree Freemason will be compiled and published as soon as
possible.
Kenneth Copeland chants the words "I AM" which is 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 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 claming
to be the God of Moses who went by that name. This is why they tried to kill
him immediately. Kenneth is claiming to be a God.
33rd Degree
Freemason Robert Schuller also endorses 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.... Transendental Meditation or TM... is not a religion nor is it
necessarily anti-Christian." Peace of Mind
Through Possibility Thinking, pp. 131-32
Benny Hinn whom I suspect is
a Freemason, also tells Christians 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

Kenneth Copeland has stated that Jehovah means Half Male/ Half Female and
that God is as much female as he is male. 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
initation 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 pages 3 &
54
2 - The initation rite into the Second
Degree, 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 page 14 & Mackey's Lexion pages
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
page 102 This
reference to the square and compass is significant as Copeland has placed
these symbols on one of his tape covers.
Copeland teaches similar things that the early Mormons leaders who were
also Freemasons taught. While the Mormons teach that God lives on a planet
near the star Kolob, Copeland says that his hermaphroditic god also lives on a
Mother Planet:-
"Heaven has a north and a south and an
east and a west. Consequently, it must be a planet." Spirit, Soul and Body I
1985 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, 1989
audiotape #01-3001, side 1
Compare what Freemason-Mormon
Brigham Young stated "Adam is our father and our God" with Copeland's
quote:- "Adam, in the Garden of Eden, was God manifested in the
flesh." Following the Faith of Abraham I, side 1
Also compare Freemason-Mormon founder Joseph Smith's
teaching that if you were to see God today "you would see him like a man in
form - like yourselves in all the person, image, and very form as a man." with
Copeland's following description of his god:-
Copeland decribes
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
neighbourhood 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 side by side, they would look and sound exactly
alike." Authority of the Believer IV
1987, audiotape #01-0304, side 1
On the cover for Copeland's audiotape series
entitled 'How To Build Your Firm Foundation.' Remember the main definition of
Masonry as being 'Freemasonry is a peculiar system of Morality, veiled
in Allegory, and illustrated by Symbols.' This is
exactly what we have right here. Copeland has placed the chief Masonic symbols
of the square and compass here that to most people the true meaning is veiled in
an allegorical style.
ALLEGORY, fictional
literary narrative or artistic expression that conveys a symbolic meaning
parallel to but distinct from, and more important than, the literal meaning.
Allegory has also been defined as an extended metaphor. The symbolic meaning is
usually expressed through personifications and other symbols. In art, an
allegorical painting or sculpture is one that has a symbolic meaning underlying
the surface image.
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 before. The
female 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? Now Copeland has placed the main symbols of Masonry
and the Eastern Star on his covers. 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 and sent it out to many people without them
realizing what he was declaring to his Masonic brothers worldwide. 33rd Degree
Freemason Oral Roberts used the inverted triangle in his University logo which
has a hidden Masonic design to it. Another odd element is that the Freemasons
veiled the symbols of the square, compass, inverted star and triangle into the
street layout of Washington D.C. These are the 3 symbols that Copeland has
placed on the 2 mentioned covers. As I write this he is also presently in
Washington conducting a rally.
To summarize:- Kenneth Copeland started
work under a 33rd Degree Freemason whom he has a strong friendship with. He
claims to be 'I AM' which is a Masonic initiation term. His teaching about his
hermaphroditic god match up exactly with what Masonry teaches and his teaching
on the size and likeness of God match up with what the early Freemason-Mormon
leaders also taught. Add to this the veiled symbols of Freemasonry that he has
placed on 2 covers, possibly more.
I would have never suspected Copeland of being a Freemason if it
were not for his heretical teachings including his belief that God was gang
raped and sodomised by homosexual Roman soldiers. If so then God's blood would
be impure and unable to redeem. Please click on the link below for more
information on Copeland's false teachings and strange beliefs.
The deciding factor to publish this information came after a
friend of mine received information from an ex-Mason that stated that he has
been in attendance in Masonic meeting when Copeland was present. At the moment
this man wishes not to reveal himself. He possibly has some firm documented
evidence that we will try to obtain. I do not know who this man is but my friend
is trying to obtain more information. Another thing that helped verify these
facts is a research project in the US that has gained some proof of these
allegations. I am currently trying to contact these men so I can add their
research to this page. What I do know is that they are both 'Born-again'
Christian ministers whose credentials have been checked out. I will amplify on
these details later.
