Beware! Word-Faith Theology: The Divinity of Man ---------------------------------------------------------- Word-Faith theology states that man was created as little gods. Kenneth Hagin in Word of Faith Magazine stated, You are as much the incarnation of God as Jesus Christ was. Every man who has been born again is an incarnation and Christianity is a miracle. The believer is as much an incarnation as was Jesus of Nazareth (December 1980, page 14). The notion that mankind are gods is the same lie that lead to Lucifers downfall (Isaiah 14:14); and his lying tactics are the same. As recorded in Genesis 3:5, this is the exact lie that Satan used to initiate the fall of Adam and Eve. Since then, in every age of human history, Satan has used his ministers to promote the myth of the divinity of man. Lets recall the notorious Jim Jones who led nearly one thousand men, women, and children to their brutal deaths. This infamous, misguided cult leader stated to his followers: It is written that ye are gods. Im a god and youre a god. And Im a god, and Im gonna stay a god until you recognize that youre a god. And when you recognize that youre a god, I shall go back into principle and will not appear as a personality. But until I see all of you knowing who you are, Im gonna be very much what I am -- God, almighty God. (Jim Jones, quoted in James Reston, Jr., and Noah Adams, Father Cares: The Last of Jonestown, program on National Public Radio [April 23, 1981]) A shareholder of Jim Jones blasphemous viewpoint, Creflo Dollar affirms, And if God produces man and everything produces after its own kind...if horses get together they produce what? If dogs get together they produce what? If cats get together they produce what? But if the Godhead gets together and says, Let us make man then what are they producing? They are producing gods....You are gods because you came from God and you are gods, you are not just human. (Creflo Dollar, Made After His Kind, September 15, 2002) Dollars local sidekick, Eddie Long professes, I know who I am! And, and, see when you know who you are, wherever you go, as a god, as a King -- you have an entourage. (Eddie Long, You Are Mighty Audio-Tape)
