Benny Hinn.....?

[IwantToBeAPreacher]

Hey all how are you?

I heard many times about this guy, and I HAVE seen this guy perform miracles/heal disabled people in the name of Jesus on my TV.

However, for some reason his love of money makes me want to research more about him, plus, my priest says that he is not "real"

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.

What you see on tv is not proof.

I don't believe he has ever performed a single healing.

The thing about spiritual gifts is thats they can come to anyone, but this doesnt means that they are going to make it to heaven. Many are unexperienced when it comes to gifts and the like. The problem is that it wont do much when you are healing people that dont need to be healed. There are many people that if you heal them they will never turn to the Lord.

He has in fact been PROVEN to be a false prophet Hank Hannegraff has exposed him on a number of accasions, i can cite these if you'd like?

I beleive he is a heretic and is leading people astray from truth.It makes me angry that he associates himself with God's word

 

[unkern]

Many people are misleading people these days, alot of these so called miracle workers remind me of the Corinthians who were misusing the gifts given to them.

 

[SlaveOfChrist]

Most of the time they dont even have gifts its all show.

 

[Hismessenger]

No man controls the Gift of the Holy Spirit anytime He wants to unless the spirit has given Him leave. This is not the case for God shares his glory with no man. Benny is A Fake just like Peter Popoff.

He is indeed a fake. I've noticed that NONE of his prophecies came true. This alone is a sign of a flase teacher. He also teaches "slain in the spirit" which is not found in the Bible.

 

[seashale76]

He was once an Orthodox Christian- a very long time ago. It is very sad that he left the faith. Please pray for him that he returns to the faith and that he stops spreading lies. He is putting his soul and those of others at risk by leading them astray.


Lord, have mercy!

First time to post on this section, but let me say that if any TV preacher claims to be able to heal, then I say they need to go down to the childrens cancer hospitals and start healing all those little kids who are dying of cancer. That would be proof much more than paying someone to go on their stage and rise out of a wheel chair.

Unfortunately Benny Hinn is a fraud. You'd be surprised; finding out is as easy as a Google or YouTube search. 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.

ever see Fletch Lives? Seen Benny many years ago, wasnt impressed at all.

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.

Every poster so far says he is a fraud and so do I.
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?

 

[LST 1154]

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.

Benny Hinn is the prime modern day example of what Paul was warning the church against regarding false teachers period.
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.

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

 

[TheCunctator]

Doesn't he also support those so-called "Toronto Blessings" of Holy Laughter, barking in the Spirit, etc....?
