Now, I believe in God, and believe in the healing power of Christ...but I do not believe for one moment that these 'fakes' have the power to heal someone....

When these guys pray for a person they do so in the name of JESUS. NONE of them claim to do it themselves. They all recognize that any healing power comes from God, not them.

you will notice that whenever any prominent member of TBN(Trinity Broadcasting Network), has a serious medical problem, they always go running to the real healers, who are the medical doctors...

None of these Christian evangilists that believe in God's healing claim that one does not need a doctor. In their preaching they claim that everyone needs a doctor. The apostle Luke was a doctor. There have been some cults that claim God doesn't want us to use medical doctors, but not true Christian evangilists. Oral Roberts even started a medical school at ORU to integrate God's prayer with the medical profession.

I am not judging him

You've got to be kidding. Venomous contempt drips from every sentence you wrote.

I think you just see what you want to see...Anyone can claim that they are healing in the name of Jesus...fakes do that all the time...its part of their act...at least that is how I see it...you obviously dont...we differ on perceptions...

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...
