The Man does not claim to heal what I think he does is give people a reason to know that through faith and Biblical Teachings Jesus is able to heal all, and that is from Scipture Teaching.

He takes the Gospel of Jesus all over the world just as Jesus commanded.

Hinn's message is a distortion and perversion of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and hence no gospel at all.

Can you be more specific on his distortion?

I read this in a National Review (not online, but the real thing) about 10 years ago. I assume that the party has only made further inroads in this vein, since I have not seen anything to indicate these guys were slapped down in any way. But my source is at school---if I still have it. It just struck me as amazing. . . . but not surprising.

The problem is that what Hinn does has nothing to do with the Gospel of Christ. It makes me cringe to think that there are people who think that what Hinn does has any similarity to actual Christianity.

Ah. It is the Hindu group. But the article I read on this didn't make that distinction. It was an article from National Review some 8 or so years ago.

The link provided has reams of information on Hinn's doctrinal and ethical perversions. Check them out.

A nifty article and expose on Hinn (and there are many) may be found below. Blessings and have a great day.

He was probably just trying to make up for the attacks against religious minorities elsewhere.

Nobody wants to be labeled a terrorist and get the cash flow cut off.

No, the event is a conspiracy to fill Hinn's coffers. He's nothing but a heretic.

He's an Oral Roberts disciple, a Charismatic, and while that's not my cup o' tea, many people love the revival tradition and who am I to bash them?

"Let me know when he goes into children's cancer wards and burn units and lays on some of that 'healing.' "

You should try doing some more reading. Are you really a "Reverend"?

Jesus went to a place with lots of sick people -- the pool at Bethsaida -- and only one man got healed.

There were many in Jesus' hometown which were not healed, either.

Televangelists (and pedophile priests) do more to damage their beloved faiths than any outside entity. For every convert they gain, untold numbers of youths and non-Christians are turned off to religion permanently by these overwrought TV pitchmen.

Perhaps I could be compelled to reconsider my opinion of him if he even did something as simple as restore a missing arm or leg.

Healings are very much a part of the Holy Bible and the Gospels.

The Jews fasted quite frequently in the OT for healings one case was in the Book of Samuel where he was healed of a physical sickness after 3 days, Healings are all through-out the Bible.

I am still waiting for a cure for my nearsightedness and dandruff.

The event has drawn strong opposition from the BJP, the Bajrang Dal and the Hindu Jagarana Vedike who see it as a conspiracy to convert the poor and vulnerable sections to Christianity.

Unless something has changed, I think that there is little danger that Hinn's ministry will convert anyone to Christianity.

“Is the event not a conspiracy to convert people?,” he asked.

Yeah. Benny's gonna lay hands and they will be Saved. Who thinks up this mess?
