A viral clip claimed Coca-Cola's personalized can generator would let you print "Allah loves you," "Buddha loves you," even "Satan loves you" — but not the name of Jesus. Justin Peters decided to sit down at his own computer and test it, and what he found does not match the outrage.

Yes, "praise God," "God is great" and "Christianity" were rejected. But so were "Buddha," "Islam" and "Pepsi is better" — while "Pepsi is best," "Ku Klux Klan," "abortion is murder," "a fetus is a child," "praise Jesus," "Christ is God" and "Christ saves" all sailed through. Peters walks through the screenshots and concludes this looks like sloppy programming, not a corporate war on Christians. He also notes the source of the original clip: Cap Chatfield, "online pastor" at a charismatic church in Omaha that lets women preach to mixed congregations on the Lord's Day.

Then he turns theological. Believers should expect persecution — Matthew 5 and 2 Timothy 3:12 leave no exception clauses for Americans — but hunting for persecution where there is none is playing the victim card, borrowed straight from the social justice playbook. He sets a Coke can beside Paul's list in 2 Corinthians 11, Stephen's stoning in Acts 7, and Hugh Latimer and Nicholas Ridley burning at the stake.

If every slight is called persecution, the word loses its meaning and Christians will be unprepared when the real thing arrives. Lost companies are not the enemy; they are the mission field.

"We don't do money asks, and it's something that I'm really proud of." That's Courtney Copeland, on camera with her grandfather Kenneth Copeland at the Southwest Believers Convention — and Justin Peters spends this episode proving, clip by clip, that it is a bald-faced lie.

Peters starts with Kenneth Copeland Ministries' own website and its article on the Seven Laws of Prosperity, which promises a hundredfold return no bank in the world can match. Then comes the convention footage: George Pearsons receiving the speakers' offering and rattling off every way to give — envelope, check, card tap, text, phone, mail — plus a "word from the Lord" delivered right as the buckets go around, assuring thousands of attendees that everything at home will be fine. Most egregious of all, Pearsons tells people to name their seed "my healing," and to sow on behalf of sick friends, relatives, spouses and children, all while admitting the meeting was already well over budget.

Along the way Peters answers John Copeland's claim that the Holy Spirit weaves the messages together, points out that these platforms never preach Philippians 1:29, and applies Jeremiah 5:30-31 and the warning about itching ears. He closes with Benny Hinn laying hands on Kenneth and Gloria Copeland — neither healed — and a direct, unsparing call for these teachers to repent and trust Christ.

It matters because real, sick, desperate people are being told their healing has a price tag.

Bill Johnson told a crowd at the 2026 Southwest Believers Convention that he has personally watched people healed the way the sick were healed in Acts 5, when Peter's shadow passed over them. Justin Peters' answer is blunt: no he hasn't. Everyone carries a smartphone — where is the video? And where does the text even say the shadow healed anyone?

Working clip by clip through the Bethel Church pastor's message, Peters tests each claim against Scripture. Johnson's line that recognising "the actual presence of God" is the supreme value collapses under Psalm 139:7-10 and Jeremiah 23:23-24, where God fills heaven and earth. His claim that the Holy Spirit indwells every believer but does not rest upon every believer runs straight into Romans 8:9, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 and Galatians 4:6 — and Peters argues it is charismatics, not cessationists, who hold the low view of the Spirit, since "spirit-filled Christian" is simply redundant.

He also takes on "your shadow will always release whatever overshadows you," the twisting of "seek first the kingdom," and Johnson's heaven-to-earth divine health teaching, which Peters names as an over-realised eschatology — noting, without joy, that Johnson's own wife died of cancer, and that the faith healer still wears eyeglasses.

This one matters because meaningless spiritual-sounding platitudes are how false doctrine gets past discerning ears. Acts 3:6 shows what a real miracle looked like.
