That would be proof much more than paying someone to go on their stage and rise out of a wheel chair. |

Not only are his healing unsubstantiated, but there's many times too that his teachings are completely contrary to Bible (nine members of the Trinity, Adam could fly, talking to deceased evangelists in visions such as Kathryn Kuhlman).
You sounded one good alarm; his love for money. That's a legit warning sign  Even to this day, seems whenever I watch him on TV, it all comes down to money, somehow getting the message to substantiate an offering.

Thank you for pointing that out. Thats my one problem with Benny Hinn, every time I see him, he's got his hand out asking for money.
What he seems to have done, and I'm sorry if this offends, he has cast himself in the role of Jesus and makes people come to him for healing and salvation, not to Christ. I catch this guy on TBN Europe quite a bit, and I've not once heard him talk about serving God, or sacrifice, or suffering, unless its in the context of giving him money. He seems to perpetuate this idea of God being a "blab it and grab it" God, essentially reducing him to a cosmic cocacola machine.
Its not to say I don't believe in the power of the Holy Spirit, far from it, but I honestly believe Benny Hinn, whilst he is clearly very intelligent and very passionate about what he is doing, is really dedicated to the money first, God second.  |

What I don't understand is why is he still being a
fraud and getting paid for it. I like the one poster
who asked why is he not down at the hospital healing
sick kids?

I have a suggestion, tell him for every cancer patient he heals they will donate $10,000.00 to his ministry. If he takes them up on it, he will either empty the ward, or proven to be a liar and a fake. Either way everyone wins.

He's an embarassment to the Truth.

Bingo. Why don't they exhaust themselves healing all manner of illness?
I guess the ability to heal (and healing faith) only occurs on stage, in front of the TV cameras, and just prior to the offering.

So im just wondering, is he real? God's chosen person or he is the "false-prophet"
He MIGHT be fake because even though he healed people, I heard even Satans can heal people right?
I really want to know more about this.
Is he for God or against God? He gives glory to God, does He not? That is why God is still using him. Kathryn Kuhlman wanted the glory for herself.
Yes, I have noticed that he is erring in the faith concerning money.
This is how to test a person concerning miracles:
Mark 9:39-40 But Jesus said, "Do not forbid him, for no one who works a miracle in My name can soon afterward speak evil of Me. For he who is not against us is on our side.
Acts 5:38-39
Romans 8:9
1 Corinthians 12:3
