Debunking Kenneth Copeland’s “God is six feet tall” nonsense

HERE IS WHY "RELIGION", "RELIGIOSITY" AND “DENOMINATIONS” ARE DANGEROUS: ADONAI Elohim gave His very Words to Moshe/Moses via those first five Books of the Bible known as “Torah.” Those words teach us who “God” is and what He expects of us – which is why we MUST be very careful about what we read, see and hear, because the Destroyer does a lot of "ear-tickling" and skillful word-smithing designed to subversively lead us away from God!

For instance, back in 1995, when I was a "baby Christian," I once watched the tongue-talking televangelist Kenneth Copeland standing on stage telling his "sheep" that "God looks just like us; he's beautiful, six foot tall and walks among us."

While unable to locate that exact particular preaching, I found this short clip of one of Copeland’s videos wherein he says something similar, where he insists that God (referring to Jesus) is a "six foot tall being" who commanded the universe into existence!

I'm sorry, but I refuse to swallow that nonsense!

First of all, check out how Isaiah 53 describes YHWH’s Messiah:

Isaiah 53:1 Who believes our report? To whom is the arm of Adonai revealed? 2 For before him he grew up like a young plant, like a root out of dry ground. He was not well-formed or especially handsome; we saw him, but his appearance did not attract us. 3 People despised and avoided him, a man of pains, well acquainted with illness. Like someone from whom people turn their faces, he was despised; we did not value him. (CJB)

Scripture tells us that God cannot be described or compared to anything! Isaiah 40:18 says: “With whom, then, will you compare God? By what standard will you evaluate him?”

Numbers 23:19 discusses God’s essence by contrasting Him with mortal men: “God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind.”

Genesis 1:2 “…and the Spirit of God hovered over the surface of the water.”

A “six foot tall” human being’s spirit wasn’t hovering over the oceans, and Yeshua was NOT standing in the darkness of the universe as a “six-foot-tall human being,” commanding everything into existence! Yeshua is a part of whatever constitutes YHWH, who was on earth for barely more than three decades, sent here to do His Father's will and spread the good news of the Kingdom, and ultimately to die for our past sins, and be raised after three days to return to YHWH…

Luke 4:43 "But he (Yeshua/Jesus) said, "I must preach the good news of the Kingdom of God to the other towns also, because that is why I was sent."

Luke 8:1 And it happened after these things that Y'shua was going around in the cities and in the villages and was preaching and declaring the Kingdom of Elohim.

Yeshua was and is the Divine MESSIAH – the Word (John 1:1, 14), someone who came straight from the Father, who supernaturally placed him into a human woman to ultimately emerge as a man that mankind could identify with. Yeshua didn’t say he “was” YHWH; he said he and his Father are ONE, while – in his human form - constantly DEFERRING to, and praying to his Father throughout his entire life on earth.

God doesn’t pray to God! Yeshua, YHWH’s “Son” and Messiah with a mission, is NOT what Kenneth Copeland espouses!

Philippians 2:5 And think you so in yourselves, as Y'shua the Mashiyach also thought; 6. who, as he was in the likeness of Elohim, did not regard it sinful to be the coequal of Elohim; 7. yet disinherited himself and assumed the likeness of a servant, and was in the likeness of men and was found in fashion as a man; 8. and he humbled himself and became obedient to death, even the death of the stake. 9. Wherefore, also, Elohim has highly exalted him and given him a name which is more excellent than all names; 10. that at the name of Y'shua every knee should bow, of (beings) in heaven and on earth and under the earth; 11. and very tongue will avow MarYah - that is, Yeshua the Messiah - to the glory of YHWH His Father. (AENT)

FOOTNOTE: More than his literal birth name Y'shua (which was and is a common Hebrew name), and more than the perfect reputation that his name represents. Y'shua bears the Name of YHWH, the "name above all names!" Y'shua has the Name and reputation of the Father YHWH in him (John 17:11) and the name means "YHWH is Salvation" (Matthew 1:21). (The angels, for instance, only have YHWH's title of ELOHIM within their names: GabriEL, MichaEL, RaphaEL....)

Colossians 1: 15. …who is the likeness of the invisible Elohim and the first-born of all creatures: 16. and by him was created everything that is in heaven and on earth, all that is visible and all that is invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; everything was through him and was created by him:(1) 17. and he was prior to all, and by him every thing exists. 18. And he is the head of the body the Assembly; as he is the head and first-born from among the dead, that he might be the first in all things. 19. For it pleased (the Father) that in him all fullness should dwell; 20. and by him, to reconcile all things to himself; and through him he has pacified, with the blood of his stake, both (those) on earth and those in heaven.(2) (AENT)

Footnote: The literal Aramaic reading is "by him," whereas Greek and English texts have "for him." Mashiyach is the creative Word through which everything was made (Psalm 33:6, John 1:1-5, Hebrews 1:1-5). The common Aramaic idiom here and in John is "through his hands" meaning as the Word, Mashiyach crafted all things according to YHWH's blueprints. Mashiyach Yeshua emerges as the Word from YHWH's breath and command and, as such, was with Him in the beginning (John 17:1-11).
