Evangelical ‘minister’ Gloria Copeland who advised President Donald Trump’s campaign sparked an uproar Tuesday by suggesting that Christian faith makes people immune from the flu.

EDITOR’S NOTE: As I write this tonight, I am on Day 14 of dealing with a devastating bout with the flu. My fevers and chills have finally subsided, but I am left with a relentless, nagging cough and a much lowered level of energy. It was so bad that for the first time in nearly 9 years, I could not write daily articles for this site for almost a week. Gloria Copeland, con artist wife to Prosperity Gospel con artist Kenneth Copeland, says that “Christians don’t get the flu” because “Jesus is our flu shot”.

“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” 2 Timothy 4:3,4 (KJB)

The sad part is that millions of their deluded, Bible deficient followers will go around believing that mess and repeating it. Christians are never promised anywhere in the Bible that we will not get sick just like the unsaved, and indeed we die in equal numbers as the lost on a daily basis. Our home is in Heaven, not here. Our reward is at the moment of death or rapture, but in the meantime our physical bodies have no more special protection than anyone else has. The Prosperity Gospel is a lie from the pit of Hell, designed to appeal to people who reject Bible teaching in favor of false teaching that appeals to our innate sense of greed and laziness. And when the phony “faith healers” get sick, where do they go? To the doctor and the hospital just like everyone else. Shame on you, Gloria Copeland, you’re a liar. Of course, you don’t have to worry about getting the flu because you’re holed up in your 24,000 square foot mansion and don’t come in contact with the ‘common people’ whose money put you there.

Texas minister Gloria Copeland, who sat on the Trump campaign’s evangelical executive advisory board, denied the country is in the midst of a severe flu outbreak in a Facebook video that went viral because, “Jesus himself is our flu shot. He redeemed us from the curse of the flu.”

“We have a duck season, a deer season, but we don’t have a flu season and don’t receive it when someone threatens you with ‘everybody is getting the flu,'” Copeland added. “We’ve already had our shot: He bore our sicknesses and carried our diseases. That’s what we stand on. And by his stripes we are healed.”

Public health experts immediately panned the remarks while some other members of the evangelical board distanced themselves from the comments.

“We don’t agree with that statement,” said Johnnie Moore, the unofficial spokesman for the panel during the campaign who frequently meets with White House officials on policy and engagement with the evangelical community. “I don’t know a single person in the White House who would agree with that.”

Word of Faith Huckster Gloria Copeland Claiming She Can Control The Weather:

Here we have Word of Faith televangelist Kenneth Copeland’s wife, Gloria, claiming the ability to control the weather. These charlatans our inundating our airwaves with this nonsense. If Gloria actually has this ability then why won’t she fly over in her private jet to some of the most afflicted areas of our planet and control the weather for them?

John Auerbach, president and CEO of Trust for America’s Health and a former Centers for Disease Control associate director for policy, said people are best protected against the flu by getting a flu shot. “It would be harmful to suggest that there is a non-scientific approach to preventing influenza particularly during a year where we’re seeing serious illness and even an increase in flu related deaths.”

The White House declined to comment and referred flu-related questions to the CDC, which did not respond to requests for comment.

Copeland and her husband co-founded Kenneth Copeland Ministries in Fort Worth, Texas. Both were members of Trump’s evangelical advisory board, which disbanded after Trump took office. Other members included former Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann and Liberty University President Jerry Falwell Jr.

This year’s flu season is among the worst in recent history. The CDC last Friday said flu-related hospitalizations were the highest since the agency began tracking that statistic in 2010. Agency officials said the death toll among children has risen to 53 so far. source

NTEB PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: The Spirit Of Antichrist Is Ripping America Apart With The Majority Of Christians Standing Helpless On The Sidelines

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

America is being ripped apart of by the spirit of Antichrist who is preparing this lost world to receive the man of sin

This is one Podcast that I am not looking forward to, and I fully expect there to be problems with the hardware, problems with the software, and problems with just about everything else because we are talking today about the ‘prince of the power of the air’, specifically the coming Antichrist whose spirit is already here and hard at work ripping apart America.

And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:” 2 Thessalonians 2:8 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, if you live in America, take a good, long and hard look around you and what do you see? You see fighting, anger, accusations, threats, fear, intimidation, murder, rape and robbery at near unprecedented levels. In Hollywood, directed Rob Reiner and his wife Maria were brutally slaughtered by their own son, Nick. The president of the United States, Donald Trump, as soon as the news broke, immediately took to social media to roundly mock his enemy one last time, while exalting himself. That act being nearly as cold as the murder itself. In our government, it is nearly impossible to believe any news coming out of any agency by either party, with each side accusing the other of lies and coverups. Speaking of coverups, the Epstein Files will not have a full release today as Democrats and Republicans continue waging war to keep the files hidden. Looks like the Epstein Transparency Act is not so transparent after all, with Pam Bondi being threatened with jail time for covering them up. Turning Point USA has officially launched civil war against itself as the House of Kirk threatens to topple over. What do all these things have in common? Behind all of it is one common thread, the spirit of the man of sin who is about to be revealed, stirring up trouble and turning people against each other. The game is almost over, Christian, and it’s time for you to get in it.

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

On this Midweek Update, things are getting stranger, weirder and scarier than they’ve been since the outbreak of the Pandemic

On this episode of the Midweek Update, we show you the sickening truth behind Trump’s war in Venezuela, and what he’s really after. We show you a preview of Steven Spielberg’s new alien pic ‘Disclosure Day’ which just might coincide with an actual disclosure from the government on UFOs. Something we have long said is not only coming, but at this point, overdue. And lastly, we bring you (no, this is not a joke or AI), the preview of the brand-new upcoming feature film ‘Melania the Movie’ which is pandering, self-serving and just a little bit creepy. OK, a lot creepy.

President Trump Orders Naval Blockade Of Venezuela Saying He Will ‘Seize Land And Oil’ And ‘Other Assets’ He Says Belong To The United States

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

President Donald Trump said Tuesday he has ordered a blockade preventing all ‘sanctioned oil tankers’ from entering Venezuela, promising to take ‘land and oil’ in the process

For weeks now we’ve been telling you that the Department of War was about to declare war on Venezuela, and moments ago Trump ordered a naval blockage around them. Seems like a president doesn’t need approval from Congress anymore to declare war, he is doing it by sheer force of his own will, and no one is pushing back on him. What does he want? Land and oil, that’s the memo.

But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.” Daniel 11:38 (KJB)

Trump is operating with impunity, daring anyone to stop him as his MAGA sycophants loudly cheer. For the past few months, he has ordered the execution of over 100 ‘narcoterrorists’, seized an oil tanker and bragged about keeping what he plundered. Now he is about to invade Venezuela with zero approval from the Congress or the Senate bodies that are there to keep the Executive Branch in check. Simply put, Trump is now a law unto himself, doing whatever he wants, and that should terrify you. Donald Trump did not create the Department of War to ‘keep the peace’, he created the Department of War to launch wars.

Trump orders blockade on Venezuelan oil tankers, escalating pressure on Maduro regime, says he will ‘seize oil and land’

FROM ABC NEWS 6: The announcement follows the U.S. seizure of an oil tanker off Venezuela’s coast last week, an unusual intervention that came amid a stepped-up U.S. military presence in the region. In a statement posted to his social media platform Tuesday night, Trump accused Venezuela of using oil revenue to fund drug trafficking and other criminal networks, and he signaled that additional military deployments are underway.

“Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest armada ever assembled in the history of South America,” Trump wrote. “It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — until such time as they return to the United States of America all of the oil, land, and other assets that they previously stole from us.”

The military buildup has coincided with a series of U.S. strikes on small vessels operating in international waters in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific. At least 95 people have been killed in 25 documented strikes, a campaign that has prompted bipartisan concern in Congress about the scope and legality of the operations.

Administration officials have defended the effort as a key tool for reducing drug shipments to the United States and rejected suggestions that the campaign oversteps legal boundaries.

While the White House has repeatedly framed the operations as counter-narcotics missions, Trump’s chief of staff, Susie Wiles, appeared to link them directly to efforts to pressure Maduro. In an interview with Vanity Fair published Tuesday, Wiles said Trump “wants to keep on blowing boats up until Maduro cries uncle.” READ MORE
