Hinn has always been an utter charlatan.
The book traces Benny Hinn’s desire for prosperity to his childhood ambition to prove his father — who did not expect much from him in life — wrong...
That’s one way to motivate a kid.
Hell my father told me he expected me to go far.... :)
From Matthew 7
21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’
I always thought of this when watching Hinn perform his “miracles”.
Benny Hinn - the founder of the Church of the Blow-Dried Saints.
ya think?
“...peddling the prosperity gospel to hapless adherents while living in the lap of luxury.”
I think peddling the prosperity gospel is the lesser of his crimes.
The fake faith healing is worse.
And I don’t think “living in the lap of luxury” is relevant. He’d be just as bad if he lived a vow of poverty.
Thinking about it, to me, if he really was healing all these people he pretends to heal, he’d deserve to live in the greatest luxury there is.
But he’s not, he’s a fake.
They are lying.
There is no such thing as a prosperity “gospel”.
That totally is an insult to the actual Good News, the only actual “Gospel” in the bible.
In fact Christ tells His followers look what the world did to me, they very well may do it to you as well.
No believer is guaranteed material prosperity. We exist in and across all social and economic stratas.
He aint tge only charlaran doing this.
Copeland, Joyce Meyers, the younger guy down in texas megachurch guy, they warp together the unbiblical word-faith prosperity gospel beliefs.
“Copeland, Joyce Meyers, the younger guy down in texas megachurch guy, they warp together the unbiblical word-faith prosperity gospel beliefs.”
Yes. Plenty of others.
They don’t do the fake healing and magical like stuff.
What kind of father would say that to his own son?
Now he will make a fortune selling books.
A fool and his money are soon parted and the fools who followed hinn and gave him their money once again proved this point.

Not in the Bible, at least. Some of what's in the Bible (KJV), as some seemingly need reminding, states:
Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him Heb 5:8-9
And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head Luke 9:58
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Matt 6:19-21
All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not. Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth. I Cor 10:22-24
I ad a boss that was sketchy on payday. We never knew if Fri was going to be payday like it should or if he was going to come in and give us each $100 to get through the weekend and give us the rest Mon, Tues etc. One week he was a no show so my buddy and I who road together headed out. Then we saw him drive by so we followed him. He went to Benny Hinn’s Orlando Christian Center to pick up his kids from school there. I don’t know how much the private school cost.
Didn’t last much longer at that job.
Was hoping to read something about Benny Hill this beautiful Sunday morning - much more entertaining...
You nailed it
You cannot love Christ and money / things of this world
Only people
I wonder how they threatened Costi’s wife....
