S'ok. What I posted still has merit
Do you think Kenneth Copeland will repent one day?
Its good he did it. Who am I to judge him? I hope he can speak some light into a very cancerous part of "Christianity"In case you have not heard or seen this, Benny Hinn has confessed and repented and rebuked the "Properity Gospel...……..
Do you think he is being honest or did he get saved??????
What he said is what a lot of preachers have been saying for a long time.
2 Peter 2:3 ...
'And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you.'
What is the prosperity gospel? Exactly what it says, it teaches that you NEED prosperity in your material life. It doesn't preach that you need prosperity in your 'spiritual' life, which the Bible teaches, but in your material worldly life. All they are preaching is IDOLATRY, elevating wealth and possessions above God, and elevating created things above the CREATOR. This is 'another' gospel which Paul warned about ... Galatians 1:6 ...
'I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel. Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.'
1 Timothy 6:5-8 ...…"
Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself. But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.'
These preachers of the prosperity gospel are certainly perverting the true gospel of Christ Jesus. But Paul says there isn't another gospel, but only one true gospel of Jesus.
Thoughts????????
Material gain, usually at the expense of another (as Mr Hinn has shown)
It's called purposely ripping people off, cheating them, getting them to pay for what they once got for free, parasites using others money for their own reward, etc. If I buy a steak for $30/lb am I the one ripping the farmer off giving them a dollar. Both ends lost while someone in the middle gained. Should we eat starch and sugar instead repeating the process? Today oil went up $11 a barrel and people are jumping for joy at the rise while other mourn at the pumps. Yay Mammon and self interest over selflessness and servitude. Was this how The WAY operated?Unfortunately, no one's innocent of this offense,
Typical of those who follow the traditional ideals of man. The Kingdom needs to be put back in Christianity and false Christian influence seen accordingly.Many will experience miracles, heal the sick, drive away demons but fail to feed His sheep, fail to Love the Lord - The only two things Jesus asked. Because of the love of money (hatred of the Father).
I thought the prosperity gospel was just one of few errors he held to.In case you have not heard or seen this, Benny Hinn has confessed and repented and rebuked the "Properity Gospel...……..

The main thing now is to ignore him. He should never be trusted by anyone again with the teaching mantle, having proved himself quite unworthy of the job.In case you have not heard or seen this, Benny Hinn has confessed and repented and rebuked the "Properity Gospel...……..

In all fairness to Hinn, he has such ministries already:If he truly repented, maybe he should donate as much of his money and possessions to the poor as possible so that he may have treasure in Heaven.
What’s interesting, after this thread I went to his “what we believe” page and on “paper” his doctrinal beliefs are no different from any other Pentecostal Church.maybe he knows most people are seeing him as a false prophet. so he has to do damage control. but i hope he is sincere.
I've always let God worry about the money, and so far He's never left me short.Good. I want to have enough money so I don't have to worry about it (worrying about stuff takes your mind off of God).
I have over 50 of these if you'd like to see themThe entire gospel of the Kingdom
or just for the fun of it
Matthew 23: 14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
Micah 2: 1 Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand. 2 And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away: so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage. 3 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; neither shall ye go haughtily: for this time is evil.
Proverbs 22: 16 He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want.
etc
and of course the OT talks of interest free loans.
Deuteronomy 23:19 Thou shalt not lend upon interest to thy brother: interest of money, interest of victuals, interest of any thing that is lent upon interest.
Seriously...Sorry, I changed that post. Anyway nothing in those scriptures applies to me.
Already an effort underway.I always say if you think a particular scripture doesn't apply, rip that page out. Then after a year see how much of God's word you've written off as moot.
Interesting he has found 'separation' but doesn't seem to have clicked it is between Kingdom and world of man that separates, not just human theologies.Benny Hinn's nephew Costi Hinn has been sharing revelations about his uncle's ministry on youtube for sometime now.
Because he put his security in worldly riches instead of the Kingdom. He was troubled at the thought of giving up worldly security.It doesn't seem like the rich young ruler cheated anyone nor stole anything - by the laws of this world. But he did in the eyes of the Lord.
