Is Benny hinn a false prophet ?

And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.

A true Christian needs to be balanced between Word of Faith & Baptist.

no, a true Christian needs to be balanced on the Bible and critical (hard; thoughtful; fruitful) thinking.

A true Christian should be balanced between the left & the right.

Maybe, maybe not.

I am non-denominational. I was raised Catholic, rebelled as a teen and then my wife through her life showed me who Jesus really is because she lives for Him. Jesus shined through her actions. She didn't need to push boundaries, she didn't need to heal people or speak in tongues. She showed me Jesus through her and I wanted what she has.

She still doesn't heal people or speak in tongues. She has faith in Jesus that all things work for good, even the bad that happens to us. She is one of the quietest people that you will ever meet, yet for me she is one of the most Godly I have ever seen.

 

[MountainofGod1]

a true Christian needs to know where he came from in order to know where he's going. If you can't negotiate between word of faith, catholic, baptist, whatever else, places where God has manifested himself, you're denying your own brothers.

these movements all experienced huge revival over the past 300 years. Some still go strong, some exist only as remnants.

I never disputed that God gives us everything and even said that in an earlier post somewhere.

What I am saying is that the sky is blue isn't in the Bible itself. The Bible never states that the sky is blue. It never says that if you put your hand onto a burner you will burn yourself.

There are certain truths that are outside of the Bible itself because the Bible never talks about them.

That is my point.

I don't really agree that neither are in the Bible, but I do get your point. However I think that both things are also understandable within the context of what's written in the Bible. However, I think what you're saying is a far-cry from being able to come up with our own discernment on the nature of God by simply saying things like, "he is 3 persons, 9 parts."

There really are no "truths" outside of the Bible. That you put your hand over a burner and "will burn yourself" is not a truth. How high above the burner? How long? What if my nerves don't work?

Truth is in the Bible. The only Truth that concerns us is the Truth about Jesus. The truth is, when people make decrees outside the Bible like God can be broken down into 9 parts, they're making stuff up.

 

[Boidae]

you're denying your own brothers.

I haven't denied anyone. I just don't agree with much of what some of the denominations say. That's not denying, that's just not agreeing.

I agree on the main things, those things that are non-negotiable across all of Christianity. However, some of the finer points of some of the denominational doctrine is what I don't agree with.

These are the negotiables. These are the things that I disagree with.

 

[Boidae]

The truth is, when people make decrees outside the Bible like God can be broken down into 9 parts, they're making stuff up.

This I agree with.

 

[MountainofGod1]

well when you make up your mind on what you want to believe, let me know

 

[Boidae]

well when you make up your mind on what you want to believe, let me know

My mind is made up on what I believe, but what you believe and what I believe are apparently two different things on some things.

As long as we both agree on the non-negotiables that's really all that matters.

 

[MountainofGod1]

you like playing with words far more than anything else, so I've lost interest

 

[Boidae]

I'm not playing with words at all. It is how I talk and communicate.

Does Benny Hinn call himself prophet?

 

[ChristianT]

Does Benny Hinn call himself prophet?

False prophets wouldn't consider themselves 'false'. Though some may realize and admit it. I don't think Hinn did [yet?]

 

[JoeyArnold]

I don't think Hinn did [yet?]

Does Benny Hinn ever say that he is an Old Testament prophet of some sort?

 

[Blessedj01]

Word of Faith should be absolutely rejected by any Christian. You cannot simply "confess the word of God" and receive it back exactly as you confessed it. God is not an ATM machine, gift-bank or Santa Claus.

 

[JoeyArnold]

Word of Faith.... God is not an ATM machine.

Out of those who are of Word of Faith, not all believes in a magic Genie God in a bottle.

 

[Blessedj01]

You didn't take my words in context. I SAID, you cannot simply "confess the word of God" and receive it back exactly as you confessed it.

Word of Faith IS the interpretation above. I read a book that said I'd have to confess the Word of God hundreds and thousands of times.

If that isn't spiritual bondage I don't know what is.

I like Osteen he is very positive. Benny Hinn, I do not agree with the way he calls ppl up for healings. My heart does not bear witness to this. However, he may be a man of God and I do not want to judge him.
