Your anti-Masonic sites are just that - anti-Masonic. Texe Maars is a full-blown tin foiler. I own several of his books and occasionally read them for laughs.

Hinn is an heretic not because I disagree with him, but because he has set himself against Scripture and the ecumenical creeds.

As a PCUSA minister, I have conducted Services of Wholeness in which prayer is made for the health and healing of the sick - healing is understood to be contingent upon God's will and decree.

Hinn is much like the Christian Science practioner or the New Ager or Magician - believing that by the right invocations or actions he, as a shaman or magician, can control Deity and direct God's actions. God may choose to heal or not to heal. Benny promises healing and fails to deliver. Benny lies and makes claims of special communication with God. Benny has made bizarre claims that have been shown to be patently false.

Funny that speculation and conspiracy theories about Masons is gospel truth for you, but obvious heresy and falsehood around Hinn's operation doesn't seem to faze you.

You may pray that I find the light, but such a prayer would be redundant or anachronistic. I have been already found and claimed by the only true light, Jesus Christ.

Blessings friend.

"God may choose to heal or not to heal. "

Support for this doctrine is not found in the Bible. They may have taught otherwise at seminary or this may have been your experience but this is not consistent with Jesus' ministry on earth.

If you disagree, then please find this doctrine in a relevant passage and show it to us in context, keeping consistency with the ministry of Jesus and the doctrinal statements which New Testament writers recorded.

Yes, He has that option. However, every person that Jesus touched was healed.

Benny promises healing and fails to deliver.

I have never heard Benny promise healing to anyone.

Benny lies and makes claims of special communication with God.

I have "special" communication with God. It's called prayer.

And our faith or lack of faith!

I do agree that God remains always sovereign in everything including healing and suffering. It is about Him and not what we receive...however Jesus is the same today as yesterday and all His promises are yea and amen.

God is still the God of miracles and our faith is needed to have God's miracles.
I once dropped a 150lb concrete block about 4 feet and crushed my big toe flat. It was broken and bleeding, I prayed after hopping on the other foot across the yard and it was made completely whole. No sign of damage [except shoe and blood on sock] and all pain was gone.

God said yes to my prayer because of my faith in Him that He would.

Don't know anything about Texe Maars, but I do hope you have another look at the shriners and that it is a religion of darkness.

Please forgive me if I offended you at all ...I admit I do go off some with Christians and those who call themselves Christians that accuse other Christians. There is this theology of we are called to judge other Christians within the body [like a ministry of fruit inspector] while my understanding is we are to be Christlike and pray for unity of His body.
