Despite Todd's warnings against greed, and the idolatry of wealth (most prosperity preachers do this), he still teaches that it is always God's will for you to prosper financially, and for you to be physically healed (healing is more of his emphasis). His defense against critics of Kenneth Copeland, is that Copeland is a generous man (even though he lives in a mansion, has his own airport, and multiples planes).
The problem with prosperity doctrine isn't primarily wealth. There's nothing wrong or sinful about being wealthy. It is sinful to make false promises of wealth or healing for those who sow financially into your ministry. God promises that in the next life the consequences of sin (sickness and poverty) will be completely removed when we get our glorified bodies. But Todd and other prosperity preachers claim that these promises are for this life ("Your Best Life Now"). This severely damages the faith of those who remain sick, or who are living in poverty because they are told that it is THEIR lack of faith, or hidden sin that is blocking their "breakthrough" in healing or finances.
The main issue with Kenneth Copeland is that he (and Todd White) deify man (making us "little gods" with the exact same spiritually DNA of Jesus) and demote Christ (making Christ merely a man with the Holy Spirit, like us). The true Christ is both fully & truly God and fully and truly man. No one has or will ever do greater miracles than Christ, or live a sinless life like Christ.
