On a TBN broadcast with Paul and Jan Crouch as a prelude to one of his shows in Nigeria, Benny Hinn stated that Jesus Christ would appear in bodily form at his show and that he believed they would have the first videotape of Jesus Christ. Did Jesus appear in bodily form? Do we have video evidence of his appearing at Hinn's show? No on both questions. Hinn is a false prophet.
Correction on location of the show in question. It was Nairobi, Kenya.
"Jesus can prevail even in the face of evil or deceit."
I agree. God can work wonders even through such as Adolf Hitler if it is in God's Plan.
But it does not change the fact that Hitler was evil or that Hinn is a charlatan.
If any good should come of Hinn's ministry it is truly the work of God because it was no work of Hinn's.
good point,, Jim Jones and David Koresh brought people to read the bible too,,,,,,,, the point to these ignorant Hinn followers and all the others like him is the bible warns us to steer clear of these false prophets no matter how many people show up at one of these phoney crusades,, the bible doesn't say it's ok to follow these fakes because they go to 3rd world countries with their show,, the bible says be aware and steer clear,,,,, by the way has anyone heard if Paul Crouch paid off his homosexual lover with more money yet?
Not only for you, missyme, but for all those who agree that it's okay for their pastor to expose himself to the criticism of unbelievers.
Schwarznegger and Mel Gibson are Christians but they aren't direct evangelists. There are different rules for Apostles, Disciples, Bishops, Presbyters, Deacons etc. Check it up in the Bible and let me know. Especially read the Pastoral Epistles on what a Church Leader is supposed to be like. Mel Gibson etc aren't Church leaders but Benny Hinn is supposed to be one. I guess that's why we need Jesus to cleanse the temple from time to time, we've grown so used to having these guys in the church we just don't know where to draw the line. Which was the apostle who carried the money bag all the time?
Don't call Bush a Christian without qualifying that term. People all over the world are reading this, not just Americans. Sorry to say people outside America have a different idea of what Christians are supposed to be like.
