By your own admission, you haven't gone to any of his meetings and haven't listened long enough to get the full picture of the man and his preaching, and I suspect you have never read his biography of his background and how he got into ministry. So, all this opinion of yours is based on a few selected snippets which show some of his wacky stuff, but leaves out his sound preaching of the gospel, the praise and worship times in his meetings, the multitudes of people coming to Christ, and the many testimonies of people's lives having been wonderfully changed through his ministry.
When I hear false doctrine and witness behaviour clearly in opposition to Scripture from Benny Hinn (and I have), I am under no obligation whatever to search further in the muck of his "ministry" for the nuggets of truth that might be there. Doing so is the conduct of a fool. I can find plenty of sources of truth and sound teaching that don't require being soiled with the sort of false teaching and likely demonic carrying-on characteristic of Benny's meetings and teaching.
I am an academic with a Mdiv.
*Sigh* Whenever someone trots out their academic pedigree (real or fabricated), I know what follows is likely to be very suspect and/or intended to limit challenge. Your Mdiv. does not impress me.
If I wrote an essay on Benny Hinn's ministry based on just snippets from Youtube and did not do a thorough research on the man, his ministry and his doctrine, and also the fruit of his ministry in the lives of people affected by it, the professor would laugh my essay out of his office and give me 1% for trying!
Oh, I see. So, you're the "professor" in this thread giving us all a grade on our posts? Interesting. A bit narcissistic, too. I don't post in these threads with a view to meeting your particular standards of what counts as a proper response. Whatever standard your professors may have had for your essays, I am perfectly warranted in saying what I have about Benny. I'm certainly not the least interested in writing an essay on the wretched fellow and having you grade it.
