Long ago I met a devotee of the Word of Faith cult. She diligently read the teachings of Copeland, Osteen, Kenyon, Hagin, etc.
One day she said to me (quoting Kenyon): “Jesus is no more God’s son than you are.”
Honestly, I don’t know where she got that one.
One time I saw on the news most of these frauds gathered together. It was at Oral Roberts’ funeral. I don’t believe these people believe in God. And that includes one who takes a $14 million advance on a book.
Anytime I see these charletans on TV I think “If God wanted the gospel spread in this manner he would have put KGOD on top of Mt. Ararat and broadcast to the world.”
Honestly, I don’t know where she got that one.
It's not that difficult...
John 3:16
New International Version (NIV)
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:7
New International Version (NIV)
7 You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You[a] must be born again.’
John 3:5 New International Version (NIV) 5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.
John 4:24 New International Version (NIV) 24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”
It's not too far of a stretch to claim and believe that since Jesus was born from the Spirit (God) and that we must be born of the same Spirit, that we too are equal with Jesus...
If you don't spend much time in the bible and mainly listen to what your chosen (by you) teachers say, it wouldn't be hard to get off track of the truth...Just look at the Catholics and Mormons...
If a person would stick with the KJV, it's a little more difficult to be swayed from the truth...
John 3:16
King James Version (KJV)
16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Jesus was/is the only begotten son of God...We are not...
There are many other scriptures that show we are not gods but that may depend on what ones definition of a god is...I would never use the term...It has the connotation that one may be worthy of worship...That ain't me...
