Kenneth Copeland is a false teacher in the Word Of Faith movement (Heresy). One thing he teaches is that Jesus died spiritually. He also claims that if the physical death of Jesus was enough to save us, anyone could have died for our sins. To back up this false teaching, he points to 2 Corinthians 5:21. 21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. To better understand 2 Corinthians 5:21, please compare it to Isaiah 53:10-11. 10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand. To imply that Jesus had to be born is imply that He sinned which is blatantly false. Had Jesus sinned, He couldn't have died for our sins. This alone is enough to place him well outside of biblical christianity. To support what I say, I offer these links as evidence of what he and other false teachers teach. https://youtu.be/t17fo2yvv3I https://youtu.be/34SFte9b9os https://youtu.be/mrelaKBbhJE Another false teaching of Kenneth Copeland is that God is the biggest failure in the bible.
