Televangelist Defends His Private Jet Saying You Can’t Talk To Jesus On Commercial Flights

Televangelist Kenneth Copeland has been fighting back negative publicity for years over the fact that he insists on owning private jets for all of his travel. Not exactly keeping in line with the Bible at all, but that hasn’t stopped Copeland from repeatedly saying that it is impossible to talk to Jesus while traveling on a commercial flight because of all the “demons” and alcohol. The man is a con artist, as are nearly all televangelists, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains.

Prosperity Gospel preacher Kenneth Copeland has been under fire basically since the year 2015 after it was revealed that he liked to fly in private jets and it was actually during that time that he made the following statement. He said, you can't manage that today in this dope filled world. Get on a long tube with a bunch of demons and it's deadly. That was his response in 2015 when asked, why are you buying a private jet instead of just flying commercial? And before he even made that statement, he defended a, or he invoked I guess Roberts, another televangelist in his mentor who said that I have to fly private because every time I get in a regular commercial airplane, I get all these unsolicited requests for prayers is damaging and I can't, I can't pray because everybody wants me to pray, but I'm trying to pray, but I really can't pray when everybody wants me to pray, you know, kind of like I can't, I can't do it when somebody's looking at me type thing.

Right. I guess Roberts is that, does that how that works? So nonetheless, Kenneth Copeland, again, back in 2015 defendant and he said, listen, there's demons in those tubes and alcohol. And so I go fly private. So not that long ago, inside edition, reporter, um, Lisa Guerra went up and confronted Copeland said, Hey, do you actually think there's demons on those planes? And he said, no, I do not. And don't you ever say I did? It's a biblical thing. It's a spiritual thing. It doesn't have anything to do with people. People, I love people, Jesus loves people, but people get pushed in alcohol. Do you think that's a good place for a preacher to be and prepare to preach? Um, dude, actually, that's probably the best place to be, right? Because if, as you say, alcohol makes people do bad things, wouldn't you want to be there to help prevent those people from doing bad things?

Maybe even help prevent them from drinking alcohol? Right? I mean, to me, if I believed in the nonsense that you actually preach, yes, it would make perfect sense for you to be in that situation. Not spending tens of millions of dollars on private jets, which by the way, this guy owns three and you're buying them with money that you're taking from easily manipulable American citizens. That's what's happening here folks. He's even admitted that sometimes he just uses these private jets to fly off to his vacation homes all over the world, not out there actually preaching, not out there helping the poor not out there feeding the hungry or healing the sick, going to his vacation houses. Why? Because every single televangelist in this country is an absolute fraud and Kenneth Copeland is right up there at the top. In fact, Copeland was asked by this inside edition reporter about his extravagant lifestyle, about his wealth and how that is literally contradicting everything in the Bible and he says they're wrong.
