[ It makes me cringe to think that there are people who think that what Hinn does has any similarity to actual Christianity. ]

What is actual christianity similar too.?.
A religion of some sort.?.
Which one.?.

Why?
I don't know this man personally and I doubt anyone on FR knows him or has been to dinner at his house. If he is spreading the ministry of Jesus giving the people Holy Bibles to 3rd world and Muslim Countries how is this a bad thing?
I have never heard him claim to be a Rev Moon type he gives all credit to Jesus Christ

And remember Jesus showed many people miracles through his Physical Healings. I think people are pretty selfish meaning someone who would not go to a church to listen to the Gospel about Jesus Christ might go to a crusade to be healed and by being there just might want to explore who Jesus Christ is after they leave...

Yeah, right.

Who knows, maybe he'll perform his first LEGITIMATE healing?

(And maybe all my hair will grow back.)

I just wish Hinn would focus on the damnation of one's soul.

It's difficult to spend such precious time speaking about eternity when he's too busy strutting on stage and begging for money.

(Those multiple mansions cost a fortune to maintain, ya know.)

I am aware of the accounts of healing in the Bible, and believe them. But there is no reason to believe that Benny Hinn can actually heal anyone.

RE# 17

Preach it, brother (because Hinn certainly doesn't).

Benny Hinn is a charlatan of the worst sort, and I condemn him in the strongest possible terms. Pray for anyone who takes him seriously.

The word "actual" is an adjective that modifies "Christianity" in the sentence in question. It means: "Being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something." By "actual Christianity" I meant genuine Christianity. Yes, it does exist. One can read about it in the New Testament. Most of what passes for Christianity today hardly resembles it.

That's what I am saying he DOES NOT claim to heal anyone.
He gives all credit to Jesus, if he did he would be a cult.

Good point, especially seeing how those who do are probably worse off than those whom Hinn tries to "convert."

And does Jesus get the credit for the disgusting begging for money and lavish living that Hinn enjoys?

Actually, you need to do this in small, bite-sized nuggets. Start with all of Hinn's false prophecies:

My point is that no actual healing takes place at Hinn's hand whether he takes credit or not. In the early church certain people, such as the apostles, were empowered to perform miracles. Hinn has no such power. His only ability is to fool large numbers of gullible people. If he actually had the "gift of healing" all he would need to do to prove it is to go to the nearest hospital and send everyone home well.

I'm not a fan of Benny Hinned, but Deception in the Church failed my litmus test by including the Catholic Church as a false teacher.

Well, I guess that means your faith just isn't strong enough. ;-)

I trust by now you read through the TWO fairly thorough links PresbyRev gave you?

That being the case, how can you ask these questions?

If you haven't read through them, get back to me after you have, please.

I have NEVER EVER heard Hinn make that claim. I have ALWAYS heard him say that it is JESUS that heals.

When I watch Hinn on TV healing people, my first thought is not "Look what Jesus did". It's look what Benny did. I doubt I am the only one. Benny is not making a mint doing the work of Jesus. Thousands of people are doing that. Benny is selling Benny.
