Days ago, still reeling from a 4-hour exposé by apologist Mike Winger- a veritable cinematic cinderblock to the head that’s been viewed on YouTube nearly a million times- arch-heretic Benny Hinn reached out to Stephen Strang, founder and CEO of Charisma News to do damage control and “throw his hat into the ring and try to balance the scales when it comes to the legacy he will leave behind.”
Strang, willingly stepping into the role of Hinn’s advocate, posed a series of softball questions that seemed to be crafted by Hinn himself. With the stage set, Hinn took the opportunity to ask for forgiveness for his vague and undefined sins, all the while engaging in revisionist history, downplaying his mistakes, and even outright lying.
Showing himself completely unrepentant, Strang first gave Hinn the final word, which he promptly used to justify himself and urge listeners “Not to pay attention to the persecution and the trials of life and those that say things that they say because they just want to say them.”
The final word is in this world, Jesus said “ye shall have tribulation” and we will be persecuted. But if we focus on that, we will not succeed. We have to look up; this is what is a must for all of us. Not to pay attention to the persecution and the trials of life and those that say things that they say because they just want to say them, we just focus on the Lord, really that’s all.”
Hinn did more of the same when given a chance to pray, using the prayer to unskillfully absolve himself of sinful and scuzzy behavior by refusing to take responsibility he previously barely admitted to. He instead attacked Winger and others for saying things “that should not have been said against us.”
“Lord thank you first for your grace and thank you for your love and mercy on all of us. And dearest Jesus, when you hung on the cross you said “father forgive them they know not what they do.” And Lord today we forgive those who have spoken against us and said things that should not have been said against us, but Lord we forgive and we love.”
Completely, utterly unrepentant.
For his holy intentions and conversion: +++
Anyone have a short version of what this is about?
I mean, I kown Hinn is a fake, but how did he finally get exposed?
“from a 4-hour exposé by apologist Mike Winger-”
Yes it is 4 hours too.

In fact you may want to go through Mike’s whole youtube playlist starting with the 4 hour tour.
Mike and Benny have been going back and forth in the media and Benny is losing

I think Benny Hinn’s son wrote a book calling him a fraud.
Benny Hinn... He never saw a miracle he couldn’t fake.
Just like Joel Osteen.
Yeah, you wouldn’t think that would be particularly interesting to a traditional Catholic but it is.
Winger is likeable.
Benny Hill was hilarious. I still remember some of his skits. Every time I hear Yakkity Sax it reminds me of his show.
Hinn is a charlatan and needs to repent. TRULY repent, which he has not done, because he continues in his ways.
Sam Kinison referred to preachers like this as “God’s special education squad”.
