I swear, is there any normal Christian television?
On this I agree with Kyle. I do believe in miraculous healing, but not on command by people like Hinn.
The poor are too often easily led to believe being rich is what God wants for us.
It has been hard for me to get through to such people that God wants what is best for us and that doesn't mean He will give us all of our desires.
There is nothing wrong with earning money nor of desiring to be able to give more away once had, but there is plenty wrong when a "church leader" equates holiness with riches and holds himself up as an example of that for which to strive.
It more likely is an example of greed masked by sheep's clothing.
Everybody knows that only Robert Tilton can heal the sick and infirm!
I've watched these Evangelical healers in action. If there is a Just G*d, then there is a special circle of Hell reserved for these hucksters.
Holy Crap, WingNutDaily with a rational article.
Maybe the Apocalypse IS at hand.....
Whaddya mean? He cured me of my s-t-t-t-u-u-t-t-e-r-r-i-n-n-g and my (..) cross-eyes and my terminal halitosis! Preach it, brother!
On previous threads regarding him there have been a shockingly large number of FReepers supporting Hinn, actually.
I love it when he slaps little Jackie Wright on the head though, and when those constables and women in their underwear chase him around....
Maybe he doesn't believe in evilution ... (/sarcasm)
$500,000 and $1 million a year... If that is all keeps from the earnings of his church, he turns more back percentage wise to the ministry than most faiths.
He's not my style, but I don't know that he is a fake either.
You think it's easy going after him? He has retained one of the most prominent defamation lawyers in the US to protect him from any claims or accusations. (This is the same attorney who works for Sidney Blumenthal and and James Carville, so you might be able to construe where his political sympathies lie.) One California pastor who has tried to alert people to Hinn's dishonesty is in serious legal trouble now as a result. I've no doubt he will be ruined.
use as I told you so/...
Benny Hinn would be more believable if he used Peter Popoff's miracle spring water.
I have never understood why people would go to one of these hucksters instead of asking God personally for help.
I swear, is there any normal Christian television?
One can only hope that Benny Hinn will one day have to face crushing back pain or perhaps colon cancer. To whom will he turn then? Jesus? I think not. I don't think that Benny Hinn believes in the healing power of Jesus' love anymore than I believe in the healing power of Benny Hinn's cash.
Please read article on the Dream Center..freeper Religion section..real Healing in action..not enough stories like these..too many like Benny Hinn

Andy Kaufman did a charactor based on these hucksters called "Armegeddon T. Thunderbird."Looked sort of like Hinn too.
Saw this on Dateline. Hinn's an insult to Christianity.
In a recent interview with CT, Hinn, whose books Good Morning, Holy Spirit and The Anointing have sold 1.7 million copies combined, said he stands behind the Melodylaiid statement.
"The Bible warns us clearly that we must not attack men of God no matter how sinful they may have become or wicked in our eyes," Hinn said. ...
"Now I'm pointing my finger with the mighty power of God on me. ...You hear this. There are men and women in Southern California attacking me.
I will tell you under the anointing now, you'll reap it in your children. You'll never win. ...And you children will suffer.
You're attacking me on the radio every night; you'll pay, and your children will. Hear this from the lips of God's servant. You are in danger. Repent, or God Almighty will move his hand.
..." That is what Hinn told an audience on August 7 at Melodyland Christian Center in Southern California.
LOL what an idiot
Does Hinn still have the high hair thingy going? I remember watching him whacking those fat ladies in the forehead yelling YOU ARE HEALED! then about six big men would rush up to grab said fat woman. my mom and i would laugh!LOL the mans as phoney as one of those clinton dollars that were floating around a few years back.
Yes, this hotel where single rooms are $175 per night and suites start at $250 per night (and go up from there) is where Hinn and his brigade will be staying.
Binny Henn is a nutcase, and gives Christianity a very bad name. He's a false prophet, and I wish this sensational crowd of his would cool it. Hinn really needs to get put in his place, too. If you ever read half the stuff this loon ever does...
And by the way, I'm a born-again Christian, with Jesus firmly in my heart, in control of my life. I'm not a Christian-basher, but I know a counterfeit when I see one.
I've been able to stand watching Benny Hinn only a couple of times. Next to his being able to attract people in droves, the greatest miracle about him is his hair. I've not seen anything else like it in Nature.
Two incidents I remember, one funny, one not. The funny one was when a rather large sister was "slain in the spirit" and rolled off the stage, taking the two big bouncer types down with her.
The other was when Benny got some kind of blowback when he chucked his power toward the audience. He sort of jolted and was knocked back a few steps and muttered to his aids something like "did you see that?" He seemed genuinely stunned.
I think there is something real going on with Benny Hinn. But I'm going to leave it to others to speculate exactly what it is.
I don't know how I feel about this...people want to believe in something. They get something out of it, or else, they wouldn't go. And anyone who thinks they can be healed by the touch of a hand is really at their last resort, so how can it hurt? I can think of lots worse ways to spend one's money. OK, flame away!
Think Elmer Gantry!
I don't know why TBN chooses to air this silliness - it's very strange seeing Benny Hinn aired alongside Billy Graham.
Protestant churches promoting the likes of Benny Hinn, Al Sharpton, and Gay Bishops.
And they left the Catholic Church because the Pope was bad.
I have advise to people who listen to TV preachers....
Turn off the TV and go find a local preacher to follow. And don't believe evrything that a preacher says without investigating it first.
That doesn't mean that the fish shouldn't be shot.
Anybody with hair like that needs to be shot anyways. ;-)
"Benny Hinn: Huckster Heretic"
Hucksters have heretics? Wouldn't that make them the anti-huckster?
Well… this lying and crooked thief is not “harmless.” With the aid of the Crouchs this cretin and other hucksters turn more people away from God each year than Satan and sin.
There’s a special place in Hell for this blasphemer.
Benny Hinn is a servant of Satan and will burn in hell.
If you believe in 9 "Gods" and that Eve was supposed to give birth out of her side, Benny is your man.
Didn't his wife say something about people needing a Jesus colonic?
It looks like Benny Hinn finally got his just rewards. There is a new thread today on the FR about Benny Hinn traveling to Nigeria and getting scammed to the tune of about 4 million bucks. I find this HILARIOUS. Everybody else gets scammed long distance by the Nigerians. But not Benny. NOOOOOO!!! That sucker actually TRAVELED all the way to Nigeria and then was angrily shocked to find out he got scammed.
