Adding two numbers and getting an incorrect result is a mistake. Taking the wrong exit off the freeway is a mistake. A prophesy made in the name of the Lord which does not come to pass shows the prophet to be a false one. Such it has been since the days of Moses.

Why do you think that the NT tells us to test the spirits, while not treating prophesies with contempt?
Because humans are fallible -- even we earthenware pots which hold the Lord's treasure.

Well, Liberal Classic, I am no defender of Hinn (in fact, I am an agnostic who has not attended any church in, oh, fifteen years). However, you mention "a prophesy made in the name of the Lord which does not come to pass shows the prophet to be a false one." Okay. I haven't seen any mass disapperings of people (which is supposed to begin the events posited in Revelations) in anyplace but the "Left Behind" novels and movies. Does that make John the Revelator a false prophet? I'm just saying that what is right for Benny Hinn is right for the so-called "true prophets" of the Bible. Or maybe it is because John never gave a time frame for his prophesies?
