Kenneth Copeland 33rd Degree Freemason Exposed
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
Royah 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 Flesh audiotape Side

- 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."

Here
we have 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 summerize:-
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 heritical teachings including
his belief that God was gang raped and sodomised by homosexual
Roman soldiers. If so then God's blood would be inpure 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 recieved 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.
