It’s about time
He has nice hair
Knock me over with a feather. I never would have guessed that a high-living televangelist might get caught up in a scandal of some sort.
Oral Roberts all over again.
I think Hinn is a scam, but only religiously. That said, this is the government who has decided that a TV minister who lives in luxury cannot be allowed. They must live a live of poverty to be left alone. Except of course Catholic Archbishop. They all claim an oath of poverty while living in luxury. But we won’t see raids on an archdiocese.
‘Hate the thieving IRS, but if they can nail this bastard, then he’ll be wielding his “healing” powers on himself.
It’s about time ole’ Benny got his, but the one that infuriates me the most is that punk Mike Murdoch.
The truth is that the government just doesn’t like his weird theology. Be careful what you wish for.
In the Islamic terror and refugee world, in the world of hillarys bribery, of bleeding Chicago, of MS-13, THIS is what FBI agents did today.
Was there a comical foot chase set to Yakity Sax background music?
Phony Christian, phony “ministry”
I had no idea Hinn was a “neighbor” in my city (Ft Worth.) Kind of scary.
The DFW Metroplex seems to be a magnet for such religious hucksters: Hinn, Copeland, Lamb, etc. Their tacky “compensations” are evident along many highways.
Personally, I have no sympathy for the brain-dead adherents of this obvious false prophet, they have no one to blame but themselves. If they spent only a few minutes a day in the Word, they’d realize what Hinn really is.
Certainly no fan of Benny Hinn but if people want to donate funds that between them and his ministry. This IRS intrusion could also be allowed by God to discipline or purge the greed from a so-called evangelist in His name. Years ago Benny Hinn’s brother spoke at a church service I attended. I found him to be a bit arrogant too so not a fan of anything Hinn.
Don’t agree with Hinn or his scam “ministry” on much of anything, but this is more an issue of the IRS overreach. If they can bully Hinn, they will bully anyone who goes against government-mandated orthodoxy.
Does your church unabashedly condemn homosexuality? Get ready.
Hinn is a favorite target of The Babylonian Bee a Christian satire site. They really roast him (deservedly so).
My favorite, because if a minister really had healing powers he’d spend every day at childrens hospitals.
Benny Hinn Spends Another Long Day At Children’s Hospital Healing Kids
ORANGE, CA—Most pastors are content to be simple, faithful preachers of God’s Word, and so was Benny Hinn—until he realized, years ago, that God had given him supernatural powers to instantaneously heal the sick and dying. Since the day of that revelation he’s been putting his powers to use by spending his days healing those who need it most—usually with minimal sleep and food himself.
“There is too much work to be done,” he says.
On this particular Tuesday he was spotted healing terminally ill kids, as he is known to do, at the Children’s Hospital of Orange County.
It was a typical day’s work at the hospital for Hinn, which includes healing hundreds of patients with a mere touch or a softly spoken word, song, or prayer. He refuses all gifts, donations, and “love offerings,” of course, and gently turns down all photo op attempts and autograph requests. Passing by him, you wouldn’t even know he was any different from the rest of the hospital staff, as he typically dons scrubs, booties, and a surgical cap in order to blend in and avoid attracting any unwanted attention.
Hinn goes about his work quietly and methodically, and by the end of the day, every single child in the hospital has been cured of their various maladies, parents, doctors, and nurses have been reduced to tears, and Benny Hinn is slipping off quietly to his small home in Dana Point to plan the next day’s work.
“It’s absolutely unbelievable, what Benny has done for our patients—well, our former patients,” teary-eyed surgeon Dr. Todd Gallimore laughed to reporters after the day full of miracles. “Benny Hinn is true man of God. A true man of God.”
The normally press-shy Hinn offered a quick statement to reporters after being told of Dr. Gallimore’s kind words. “I’m just doing what anyone else, in my shoes, with my powers, would do. It would be quite wretched of me to do otherwise, would it not?”
“Please tell Todd I said thanks,” he smiled.
And then he was gone.
I prefer Benny Hill.
Hinn is a monumental scuz-ball, a con artist bound for a firey hereafter, and I’m glad he’s on the radar of the IRS.
BUT... doesn’t the Federal government have bigger fish to fry? Clintons. Soros. Lerner.
