Christian televangelist Benny Hinn, who has made millions of dollars preaching the prosperity gospel, has now made a stunning rejecting of the practice and declared that 'it's an offense to the Lord'. The pastor and faith healer behind Benny Hinn Ministries publicly renounced the teachings he has previously been a vocal supporter of during a live feed posted to his Facebook on Monday. The prosperity gospel is the controversial teaching and belief among some Protestant Christians that followers can obtain wealth and health by making donations to God through the church.

” who has an estimated fortune of $60 million, now insists the ‘Holy Ghost is just fed up’ with the prosperity gospel”
That’s some “Holy Ghost” he’s friends with. How come the HG didn’t tell him to stop at $10 mil etc?
It’s a ruse to get his followers to reward him with even more money for finally “seeing the light.”
Tend to agree
can anyone say CHARLATAN?
sounds like an improvement!
it makes me SICK to see preachers who preach to suck money out of people
Make some headlines, get some press, grab some new blood, push merchandising, and then have god change his mind again. Business as usual for these.. . types.
Yep - ‘Faith Healer’ is Greek for grifter if I remember correctly - grin
So he’ll be returning the donations with interest, then?
They set out to do good and ended up doing well.
I suspect that his fraudulent practices was becoming to risky, so he became risk adverse.
However, thanks for pointing out what the real intent of these televangelists are when they say they are no longer taking an income from their churches.
Or they set out having convinced themselves they will do good...
“So it seems Mr. Hinn has now amassed $60,000,000 from professing Christians.”
New suckers born everyday.
HA!
yu nailed it!
picture of nail goes here;
Benny does not strike me as the Zacchaeus type. Too much BS for too many years, it is hard to believe that he’s changed. Colour me ‘doubtful’.
He’s at the point where the IRS is subpoenaing documents, so God told him to chill out.
I had to look him up and I have seen him on TV before. If people can’t immediately see him as the grifter that he is,people are more stupid than I thought.Fugazy “Religion”/god pimps,government and politics are the three biggest organized crime syndicates and dwarf drug cartels in their reach.
His bigger problem is fake healing.
He’s an outright fraudster charlatan.
Maybe he was being told, but wasn't listening.
Yeah. Just look at Joel Osteen’s draw.
