On todays program Benny Hinn announced that he had a vision and the Lord explained to him that the Lord was going to topple the current government of Iran.
He said that the Lord would show favor to the people of Iran because of the assistance Persian Kings gave in rebuilding the temple in Jerusalem [2 Chronicles 36:23,24].
The feed is a video of the "this is your day" program.
Are we supposed to mock Benny and anyone who supports him? No way. Are we supposed to abandon the healing part of Jesus' sacrifice and only embrace the forgiveness part? No way. I hope Benny et al. are walking us thru the clumsy and awkward baby steps of the restoration of Gods power & gifts to the church.
Wonder what I did wrong...I have a chronic disease but I didn't ask for it.
And please, if indeed Benny Hinn was a 'true' healer, no one would have need of regular doctors...the people Jesus healed, were completely healed...I dont recall the Bible telling of them running off to a doctor for a confirmation....
And as far as my saying I dont judge Benny, I dont...he will be judged later, by his creator....I dont judge him, I just dont believe him or anything he says...and as for venom dripping from my every sentence, that is your perception and you are entitled to it...and I am entitled to my perception...as I see it, you are willing to believe in Benny Hinn, and I am not...so be it...that has nothing to do with my belief in God, and in Jesus and in the Bible...Benny just shows me that people will use whatever means they can to get money...you obviously dont agree with that...so we disagree...
And if there is any venom dripping from my sentences, its because I have seen people duped by charlatans such as Benny Hinn...and that is what I consider him, a charlatan....and that belief I have does not at all shake my belief that there are good Christians everywhere, who earnestly try to help others, without the trick of gaining money from that help...I just dont believe that Benny Hinn is one of those good Christians....that is not a judgement, as far as I am concerned, that is just seeing the man for what he is...
I for one like to hear the false prophets rave on. One prophetic failure... and from that point on... we know who they did NOT hear from... that being God. God makes fools out of them, and their followers who refuse to admit... the alleged "prophet" wasn't one after all.
Of course we have a whole new crowd who then say that new testament prophets in the church don't have the same accuracy requirments as the ones in the old testament... then we have the same group selectively ram their "favorite" commandments down our throats at threat of eternal damation... cheifly being mandatory attendance at their meetings, and sacrifial money in their offering plates... all this happens while prophet "liar-am-I" d'jour gets up and tells a few more "whoppers" in the name of the Lord. Blasphemy. No wonder folks don't believe in God... His kids are addicted to lying and liars...
Anybody with brains knows miss cleo is more accurate than these phoney baloney religious houdini wannabes and their worshippers.
Where were the lying prophets and God's alleged spokesmen on the morning of 9-11? Were they standing at the building entrance denying access because "god told them what was to come today?" Nope... but they sure as hell showed up to blame us for our immorality and pass the plate while begging for forgiveness in a time of national tragedy.
hoaksters... and flim flam cons... they are NOT prophets, when their words fall to the ground unfulfilled... even once. Phonies...
quack quack....
I wish God did take out some of the trouble makers in the middle east... but I suspect He will leave the heavy lifting to mankind. Seems like He leaves us the responsibility of removing our own Hitlers from the planet... "take out your own garbage" seems to be his policy.
I think I've reached the shaking dust off sandals stage....
I didnt see a notation in the website rules requiring me to stick around and comment.
Perhaps you could show us all the rule.
