I don't know if I would really call Hinn an "evangelist".

Is the way he wears his hair called a Hinn-do?

(A little ecumenical humor...)

I liked his old BBC comedy sketch show, especially those chase sequences during the ending credits.

I don't know about Benny Hinn. But the Times here are self-admitted deceivers. (They planted a phony cripple in the healing line.) So why trust them?

Only after the child, Bhavana, was photographed and prayed for by Hinn's security officials was the plane allowed to take off, the organizers maintained.

Gee...now Hinn's security personnel can perform miraculous healings too?

"Hallelujah! Shall we have a huge round of applause for this glorious feat of the Lord? I told you, none of you will leave this place sick," pastor Hinn replied.

Right there the man makes a false claim.

This "healed" man (Raj) was a decoy planted by The Times of India to find out how Hinn's medical team separates the wheat from the chaff. Raj, actually in fine health, came to the meet pretending to have a pronounced limp, and was put in the "sick" enclosure.

If people want to be deceived, that's their prerogative. The government should keep its hands off these crusades.

During my college years, I visited many churches of different denominations, trying to find the one closer to original Christianity. My visits to the uber-charismatic churches remain memorable. Questionable stories of healing every time we met, no critical thinking, no verification process.

One day I read a satire about the these ubiquitous miraculous cures on a magazine, where the author claimed that his daughter was steamrolled flat, but he prayed to Jesus, and he watched his daughter come back to life in perfect health. The funny thing was that his article was not too far from the outlandish stories I had heard at church.

INTREP - There are so many things wrong with Hinn's so-called ministry

It is the Gospel from Jesus healed the people.If facility to make belief in God may heal the sick in hospitals.
Bennyhinn is a tool to work the gospel of Jesus.

My brother and I took my aunt to a Benny Hinn meeting here in Atlanta a few months ago and she was healed of MS.

She had it for 12 years and was able to get out of her wheel chair and stay out of it.

People like to slam Benny, but they can't truly state how he carries on his ministry any way different from the first century church.

It is always wisdom to be wary of people who claim to have a gift from the Lord, but the scripture also tells us to "touch not God's anointed, and do his prophets no harm".

Is Benny strange? He sure is. Christianity is strange in itself, isn't it?

Anyone who ever watched Benny in ministry also knows that he does not claim to be a faith healer. In fact, he has a team of over 100 people who pray with him and they work through the crowd praying over the sick before Benny comes out.

Benny simply comes to the front of the crowd and teaches (primarily in the area of evangelism) and then asks the people to line up to give praise reports.

When my aunt was healed, my brother and I got to go up on the stage with her. There were hundreds of people behind us.

This thing is real, and I suggest that people who are offended simply because it doesn't line up with their church doctrine need to dust off their bibles and read them.
