"God's reason for creating Adam was His desire to reproduce Himself.  I mean a reproduction of Himself, and in the Garden of Eden He did just that.  [Adam] was not a little like God.  He was not almost like God.  He was not subordinate to God even. ... Adam is as much like God as you could get ... Adam, in the Garden of Eden, was God manifested in the flesh" [Kenneth Copeland, Following the Faith of Abraham I, (1989), audiotape #01-3001, side 1].

"Adam was made in the image of God.  He was as much female as he was male.  He was exactly like God" [Kenneth Copeland, Sensitivity of Heart, (1984), p.23],

"You're all God.  You don't have a god in you; you are one! ... When I read in the Bible where God tells Moses, 'I AM', I say, 'Yeah, I am too!'" [Kenneth Copeland, The Force of Love, (1987), audiotape #02-0028, side1],

"Now Peter said by exceeding great and precious promises you become partakers of the divine nature.  All right, are we gods?  We are a class of gods!" [Kenneth Copeland, Praise the Lord, programme on TBN, (05 February 1986)],

"Pray to yourself, because I'm in your self and you're in My self.  We are one Spirit, saith the Lord" [Kenneth Copeland, Believer's Voice of Victory, (Feb 1987), p.9],

"God's greatest longing is and always has been to have a people who are like Himself, made of the same substance of which He is made. ... That was His plan when He made the first man.  When God breathed the breath of life into Adam, He transmitted His very self into him ... Man was destined to walk in the dominion of God - the inherent power that God has in Himself" [Gloria Copeland, Believer's Voice of Victory, (April 1994), p.27],

"Are you ready for some revelation knowledge?  You are god" [Benny Hinn, Our Position in Christ #2 - The Word Made Flesh, (1991), audiotape #A031190-2, side 2],

"God came from heaven, became a man, made man into little gods, went back to heaven as a man.  He faces the Father as a man.  I face devils as the son of God.  Do you see what I'm talking about?  You say, 'Benny, am I a little God?'  You're a son of God, aren't you?  You're a child of God, aren't you?  You're a daughter of God, aren't you?  What else are you?  Quit your nonsense!  What else are you?  If you say, 'I am', you're saying I'm a part of Him, right?  Is He God?  Are you His offspring?  Are you His children?  You can't be human!  You can't!  You can't!  God didn't give birth to flesh.  He gave birth to a new creation.  And the new creation is not flesh and blood and bone, for no flesh and blood would inherit heaven.  Did you hear what I said?  Some of you didn't really hear what I said.  You said, 'Well, that's heresy.'  No, that's your crazy brain saying that" [Benny Hinn, Our Position in Christ #2 - The Word Made Flesh, (1991), audiotape #A)31190 -2, side 2],

"God duplicated Himself in kind! ... Adam was an exact duplication of God's kind!" [Charles Capps, Authority in Three Worlds, (1982), p.16, emphasis in original],

The Spirit of God "declared in the earth today what the eternal purpose of God has been throughout the ages ... that He is duplicating Himself in the earth" [John Avanzini (with Morris Cerullo), The Endtime Manifestation of the Sons of God, (No Date), audiotape1, side 2],

"So those that would put that teaching down, want us to have a beginning  and an end.  That's Satan, isn't it?" [Paul Crouch, (speaking with Benny Hinn), Praise-a-Thon, programme on TBN, (Nov 1990)],

"I am a little god!  Critics, be gone!" [Paul Crouch, Praise the Lord, programme on TBN, (07 July 1986].

"And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.  And the Lord commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die" (Genesis 2:15-17),

"And unto Adam He said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life ... In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return" (Genesis 3:17-19).

"What is man that Thou takest knowledge of him! ... Man is like to vanity" (Psalm 144:3-4).

"For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass.  The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away" (1 Peter 1:24).
