[The most important “C” in “cancer” is Jesus Christ.]
PHILIPPIANS 2:10
At the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
THE LION AND THE LAMB

Still, the Christian Research Institute president and chairman said that he remains optimistic...
Now we hear he has cancer.
I think he likes the attention.
That remark tells me more about you than about him.
NAAAH, he just may be ‘coming home’ twice....God bless him.
Carcinoid cancer I assume
The mother of my Goddaughter has this and has since the mid 90s
It’s brutal but some live a very long time with its ebb and flow
You will be very thin though because Sir Charles always gets fed first
Cancer gloms all nutrition it can into dying cells that it’s cannibalizing
You can throw it off changing eating habits but it’ll catch on
Even Ketogenic diet? Ketogenic Diet
I never like to hear of someone getting cancer and I hope that he recovers. But I also would like to see some light shown on Hank Hanegraaff.
Walter Martin founded the Christian Research Institute in 1960 and the Bible Answer Man radio show shortly thereafter. He ran both until his untimely death in 1989. Those who knew Walter Martin, BAM and CRI when Walter Martin created it out of nothing probably know the back story on Hank Hanegraaff.
How Hanegraaff shamelessly manipulated a takeover during Walter’s funeral. How Hanegraaff had absolutely no training nor expertise in apologetics. He was a fundraiser and nothing more. How he fired the many scholars who did the excellent research of CRI when Martin ran it. How Hanegraaff sued many of these scholars to silence their criticisms and concerns. How Hank’s first act upon taking over BAM/CRI was to give himself a substantial pay raise and how over the years he has used it to give himself a very comfortable lifestyle- Martin, the original BAM and the founder of CRI never used them as cash cows and lived modestly.
Walter Martin was a great man. Hank Hanegraaff is a wealthy one. Sorry to hear that he has a cancer.
I was actually informed of this by a FReeper some time back. This was written by a former CRI employee who worked there for 2 years.
He details his experience working for Hank ( I did not realize for instance, that Hank received a salary equivalent to or more than the President of the United States) :
By Perry C. Robinson, former CRI employee (long read)

Someone needs to tell him to look into Turmeric and Hot Tubs. Supposedly they work well on Tumors.
He needs look into mega dozes of Selenium and Raw Bitter Apricot seeds too.
Thanks. I don’t know Perry but I did know a number of CRI people and those who move in those circles long before Hank Hanegraaff ever appeared on the scene.
I don’t know Hank but I’ve known about how treats others for a long time, including his plagiarism of D James Kennedy’s book ‘Evangelism Explosion’ and his subsequent attempt to brand the well regarded Kennedy as some sort of astrology promoting heretic. A lot of people who do know Hanegraaff raise serious questions about his character and honesty and they suspect that his primary motivation has always been money. In their opinion taking over BAM/CRI was just a means to that end.
Apparently one Jay Howard wrote a book on this back story back in 2009, ‘Hard Questions for the Bible Answer Man’. I ran across a youtube interview with him a couple of days ago:

He also said modern Israel won’t be blessed and he believes in replacement theology in addition to being a Preterist.
Hank’s got some real soul-searching to do. I hope he takes back everything he said about Israel personally. Genesis 12:3 is still as valid as ever.
I doubt that Hank takes any theological position seriously. His hijacking of CRI and the BAM program was done entirely for the financial potential that he saw in it. Nothing more than that. He’s not a scholar nor a theologian. None of it was or is of any interest to him other than the monetary opportunity that it presents to him.
Ah, you must be LDS. Martin left some of you very butt-hurt by holding LDS claims up for examination. Calling him a liar and a fraud may make you feel better but that claim is as ignorant as it is baseless.
Martin never made a big deal out of having a PhD, it was irrelevant. But for those like you trying to gin it up as a controversy here’s the story:
“Some opponents have made claims that Martin did not have a valid doctorate. Mr and Mrs Robert Brown of Arizona, two Latter-Day Saints, have stated that California Western University, now known as California Coast University (CCU) was not accredited at the time the degree was awarded. In addition some opponents of Martin claim he purchased his doctorate from CCU, which they claim was a degree mill.
“It must be noted that Martin completed all the coursework at New York University, which is also an accredited school. Furthermore, California Coast University also offers fully accredited programmes,[56] being accredited by the State of California since 1974. Such approval is currently granted by the California Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education. It, however, received national accreditation only in 2005, from the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC). It obtained this status after a study by the US General Accounting Office (GAO), which sought to provide national accreditation to schools that offered high quality education, which concluded that CCU was never a diploma mill and never committed wrongdoing.
I too am not a fan of Hank Hanegraaff but I'm sorry to hear about his cancer and I'll be praying for him. I think that Hank still has several issues of which he needs to repent.
I remember StormPrepper as a Mormon apologist on other threads. If someone cannot see the multitude of frauds and falsehoods in the life of Joseph Smith, I have no confidence that he can spot it in someone else. Talk about a blind spot.
Agree.
