I should not want to be a Christian if I believed in the antics of this character. He is a turnoff to those that would accept Christ as they might believe that they would have to do as the people on his show do in order to please God (or Beny Hinn). I pray that such as he would pack up their dog and pony shows, take their fortunes, and silently retire to far away places.

Please note watchman07 has now been changed to watchmen07 thank you "But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,>>>for He makes His sun rise of the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. If you feel used PRAY! If you feel persecuted PRAY!

Benny Hinn preaches things that are are not from God's word, they are from Benny's Word!!!! We are called to be Christ like in everything we do, Benny seems very far from that. I feel that if Christ were to come down to talk to Benny. I think he would not talk, but he would tear up his house and his ministry like the Temple that was turned into a market place. Some may say that I'm too strong, but God's word say's we must test and approve those over us in the church. There is a difference between judging a person and seeing a false teacher. You have to name and shame them !!!! I'm not perfect by any means and have my failures to God. But Benny, I need not say any more. All we can do is pray that God would speak and convict his soal.

Hinn is a master showman. He's one who believes that the "anointing" is something that causes people to fall and be "slain in the spirit," and that he can transfer that "anointing" by touching people, waving his hands, or, as was in his earlier days, blow on them or slap people with his coat(Check out a hilarious clip on Youtube of Hinn hitting several people with his coat...utter chaos). Hinn must be a bad mamma jamma if he can wield such "anointing" and go unscathed, while everybody else falls down like rag dolls. It's truly a wonder that none of the gospels ever report scores of people falling down when Jesus touched them. You'd think if ol' Benny could knock people out with a wave of his hand, surely the SON OF GOD would! But another interesting thing is that every account in the bible of people "falling under the power" involuntarily, and worse, BACKWARDS(A sign of disrespect in the presence of royalty)as Hinn's victims do, were in OPPOSITION to God, and could be considered signs of God's judgement. For example the soldiers who tried to apprehend Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane(John 18:6), and the apostle Paul on the road to Damascus(Acts 9:4). Even Eli the priest fell backwards and broke his neck after hearing that ark of the covenant was stolen(I Sam 4:18), a judgement of God levied on Eli for his evil sons(I Sam 2:27-36). There was a very damning piece on Dateline NBC, I believe, in which a former Hinn insider spills the beans on his lavish lifestyle, exorbitant hotel suite visits, private vacations and huge mansions, all courtesy of the gullible donors. In the dictionary by the words "false prophet" should be a picture of "pastor" Hinn.

a horrible show..he hypnotizes by suggestion. A money-man jerk who is destined to pay the ultimate eternal price! F....Hinn! we prayed at his Tacoma show once and he got so flustered he couldn't hardly do his usual schtick. LOL!

Benny Hinn is just a showman like Liberance.The falling backward is in the Bible but is was always falling under the judgment of God.the name to be SLAIN IN THE SPIRIT should tell anyone that it is something you don't want any part of. Because of his lifestyle it looks like money is really his God and not the God of the Bible.

If anyone actually thinks they can learn about Jesus by watching him may as well be watching Alice in Wonderland. He should be so ashamed. He is the worst liar I have ever seen. He has deceived millions.

THIS GUY IS A PIECE OF GARBAGE/SCAM ARTIST! I am not religious is any way shape or form. But I watched one of these investigative shows and they show you how they hold back people who don't look healthy enough to get up ons stage for tv and let up those who are. And how he embezzles the money that he recieves from these people who are desperate and are willing to try anything. However a friend of my dad had stomach cancer and his mother in-law and wife took him to benny hinn and after his cancer was gone and he swears that he doesn't even remember going he says I never went. Anyway his cancer came back 12 years later and he died in 03. But never the less I still believe this guy is a major scumbag and he is not a healer.

He is an excellent preacher/teacher and used by God in a mighty way!!!

Benny Hinn- burn in hell you asshole!

Complete scam artist. People, stop sending him money!

LOGIC: If I was an atheist, and had no scruples, I would start a healing ministry and live in a multimillion dollar mansion on the ocean and ride in limos and on the concorde.

Lord Jesus I can Only offer up Prayer for Those Blinded by the Lies, He is The Truth Of Scripture manifested in Human Flesh as to What the Bible Describes as a False Prophet,speaking another Doctrine....

Shame on me for commenting on such a slick team of charlatans! And shame on him as he and his back up crew seem as they stepped right out of The Godfather. Too many millions of dollars not accounted for. We are all supposed to carry forth the Great Commission, but what gives these TV characters the right to spend millions on their homes, vactions and cars. It's a Christian Enron tragedy. My suggestion to the souls that frequent his meetings. Don't. Just read the word of God for yourself and the Father will reveal the truth to you.

Another gasbag healer with a cool nero jacket. God has got to be pleased with piece of work. he has knocked over more sick people in the name of God, then all of them put together. Mr. Hinn leave them standing then they won`t need all those new hip replacements, as for healings I have a sore on my ass, if you could kiss it I`m sure it would heal right up

Scary. By himself, he's little more than funny. The fact that the guy is filling stadiums all over with his charlatanism says to me that there are a lot of unintelligent and easily led people out there.

Benny Hinn sets a bad example for christianity. Besides the money scams, his healing sessions set my alarm bells ringing. I actually remember him saying on occasion that if you were watching him at home and wanted to be healed, to fill up a glass of water and concentrate on it while he prayed. That sounds like mesmerism to me! Stay away - his teachings are unbiblical. When you hear him cite scripture look the verse up in the bible and read the other verses around it - you will find his scripture use is out of context most of the time. It is such a shame that we can't rate lower than one star.

You know, this stuff is great entertainment. In the Northeast, and in other parts of the country only the truly big names are on tv, like Pat Robertson, in part because there are lot of Jewish, Greek Orthodox, Islamic , Hindu, Buddhist, agnostic or atheist,Catholic people, or some other religion and the Protestants there tend to be Congregationalists, Unitarians, or some other denomination that doesn't really go for this sort of hucksterism. There's about 1 channel of this stuff at most on cable. In other parts of the country, there's like six. I don't watch much tv, but here in Indiana I'll occasionally watch this stuff for a while because it's entertaining and fascinatingly different to me, never really fully felt before the powerful hold a lot of these frauds have on much of the nation. I'm sure some of these folks are on the level, but the majority strike me as poseurs laughing all the way to the bank in a modern rendition of the old snake oil salesmen. The actual doctrines of people like this don't bother me, freedom of religion is a good thing and all that, and while I believe in an all powerful Supreme deity, I don't really belong to any organized faith or anything. However, I really don't know why so many people in this land fall for the cartoonish theatrics and transparent greed of obvious charlatans like this one. I'm afraid to put any quarters in a Coke machine for fear that Benny will be hiding inside the machine taking them and I won't get any soda.

I remember when I was about 6 years old, My grandmother took me to a Benny Hinn healing service. Out of curiosity, I went down for prayer. As I walked toward him on the alter, He streched his hand toward me and down I went. It was something that has stayed with me all my life. I hope he stays in a right relationship with God.

Benny Hinn is such a snake but at least Austrailia's 60 Minutes got to sit down and have a serious discussion with him: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/belfastberean/leap.rm All he ever does however is deny, deny, deny. With all that has been done to expose him, why in the world do people still give to this brazen charlatan?

Love Gods anointed and let HIM judge lest ye be judged!

My only problem with Benny was that he mimicked Kathryn Kuhlman so much, even saying the same exact words and phrases. However, I know that Jesus can heal and uses many ministers for this. Most of all, Benny believes in salvation through believing in Jesus Christ -- so that alone is a wonderful thing. People get saved just by saying a prayer, and if he encourages and helps in that area, God bless him. Be careful what you say about the Lord's anointed people.

Whenever I see his face, I get kind of scared of him. I don't trust him at all.

probably the greatest snake oil salesman since p t barnum. what a scammer. love it when he does healing and they fall out. great comedy, better than wrestling You've got to catch the show. Benny been doing "healings" down in South America. The blind and deaf are cured. Great stuff and when he sings, you will pray. lol

One question - do these people really believe in God? Why do I ask? As it is written, "It's a scary thing to fall in the hands of a vengeful God" Gosh! To tell a lie on a human being is one thing but to lie on God!!! Does he really believe in God?

God will be the judge in the end.

Update: I am amazed that people can not see how fake this guy is. I am not a bible expert but I no it says more than one time to beware of false prophets. People the man is a con artist DO NOT SEND HIM ANY MONEY: This guy is a bigger con artist then Jim and Tammay Faye Baker. Why would god want a man to preach to the world and have all the money he collects. Never mind the fancy clothes and the Mansions. He is a crook and he will be exposed again. Question, when Benny throws his arms up in the air and every one falls down, how come the cameraman is uneffected?

This is one ministry that can really affect a persons walk with the lord in relation to putting them off altogether !,this person is going way to far and its sad to see the lord god represented in this way. find your own way,you will get more results from the guidance of the holy spirit, look inside yourself you know i am right !,be led by the spirit, dont get caught up with this you will be guided off the right path. UPDATE>...........to be honest to you all, i just like to watch him now and then just to see how fake this is,and to see the peoples faces when they walk on the stage shaking, crying, and then after he lifts his hand up to their foreheads i think that its his ARMPITS that knock them out :-). anyway its a little entertainment, i love jesus , but this guy !what more can i say ,..... somethings just not right!

Let me give some first-hand experience. It is unfortunate that Dateline and other shows have to blast Christianity. When I first saw Benny Hinn, he was the son-in-law of a local Assembly of God pastor. He did some healing services. I was WOWED with the rest. I went year after year, saw a lot of the same things. He then pulled away from the AOG denomination. He built his own church, The Orlando Christian Center. I attended with some friends. It was all right, but we didn't open our Bibles much. Benny spent a lot of time telling us what Jesus had told him. I was alway concerned when at the end of his services, he would run away and the bodyguards would push off anyone who was desperately trying to get healed. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but I never read about Jesus turning people away who really were ill and needed healing. A few years passed, I went into the Navy. When I returned home after about 6 years, I visited around to find a church. I went back to OCC for a visit. I was appalled. Benny told us in one service, NOTE: I am paraphrasing, because I don't remember the exact qoute, that we didn't need our Bibles because we had Benny Hinn to tell us what to do. Sounds like a cult leader to me. I believe God still heals. I believe speaking in tongues to be a valid gift. I don't believe all rich men are evil. I became concerned about Benny Hinn and never went back. I have read my Bible several times, differend translations, examined questions by doubters. And questions of my own doubt at times. I don't trust Benny Hinn, though I have an Aunt who thinks he is wonderful. I just hope she doesn't give everything away to him. He doesn't need it. If he needs money for his ministry, sounds like he could pull it from some of his investments at home. Not from his middle class to lower class constituents.

This guy is hilarious. The only reason I would want to go to hell is just to seem him burn. And he will.

Selective Healing ,Healing on demand,Read Joni Eareckson Tada's Testimony of her visit to A Benny Hinn Crusade, The Only way this Man thrives is Because People fail to Study and Grow In the True Grace and Power Of Jesus Christ!!

This guy is a joke and a disgrace to the Christian community. When non-Christians turn their televisions on and see this guy, what must they think? Blowing on an entire auditorium full of people?(a testament to group dynamics and the brainless people at Benny Hinn crusades) He gives false hope to the poor, the uneducated, and the easily swayed. When God decides to speak to us, I predict it will be through someone with a little dignity, perhaps Tom Brokaw or Walter Cronkite. It won't be through some guy in a white Nehru jacket with the worst combover in television history.

Nothing about this guy is biblical or Christian. He gives the legetimate Chrisitan minister/pastor a black eye. It takes a very shallow (or a desperate person) to believe what this guy is selling. If he approached me selling a used car, I would put one hand on my wallet and quickly run away.

A pure sham. Not a single documented healing by a credible source outside of his ministy. Total garbage theology, poor hermeneutics, an offense to God.

Just a cook. He steals peoples dreams and desire to be good.

I don't know if Benny Hinn is sincere or not. My focus is to work out my own soul salvation with fear and trembling while working to add souls to the kingdom of God. If these televangelist are off and compromise GOd's word, God will judge them. Allow God to do his job. Pray continuously for them.

Someone wrote on here today that they think Benny Hinn just preaches because he doesn't want to pay taxes. Let me assure everyone here that despite what some people think, ministers DO pay taxes, just like everyone else. I should know, because I am a minister and I have to send in taxes 5 times a year & it's a very expensive part of our family budget. It amazes me how much of everyone's income the government takes away. It also amazes me that some people think ministers aren't taxed. A church building is not subject to property tax, so maybe that's what causes the misunderstanding. But you can preach all you want and you'll still carry a heavy tax burden like everyone else who's trying to make an honest living. If you want to complain about people not paying taxes, take a look at welfare fraud...which people like you and I are having to pay for.

it truely saddens me when i see good people following/falling to false prophets. they truley are good people... but they are too concerned about having to see something in order to believe... and that's not what faith is. faith is believeing without seeing... basically faith in a nutshell is this this: it's to be certain of the things which we cannot see. my comments to people who believe in faith healings is this. 1) being healed from one of the apostles from the bible was never a matter of having or not having enough faith... they healed believers AND non-believers all the same! i can't think of one example in the bible where an aposle tried to heal someone... but they couldn't because the person didn't lacked faith. 2) unlike benny's healings where the persons poor vision is better or the elderly can kind of wabble around stage without a cane... biblical healings were miraculous AND instantaneous! people born with out appendages would instantly have them... ears cut off could instantly be mended back into place in full working order... poison not causing any illness whatsoever... and lest we not forget bringing the dead back to life. and on that subject... i'm sure we've all heard these false prophets say they raised someone from the dead... but where is the proof! *rolls eyes* that's because there isn't any! just false claims to prey upon the weaker christians into believing what he teaches... so that way he can line his armani pockets. LOL well, i'm pretty sure it's safe to say that all of us here agree that miricles at one point DID HAPPEN. but the point at where we waver is when (or if) they stopped. my belief (based on countless hours of study on THIS subject) is that miricles no longer happen today. signs, speaking in tongues, and healings were used in the old days for one purpose... and one purpose only. and that was to prove that jesus was the son of God and that in turn would help spread the word during while the church was still in its infacny. according to 1 Corinthians 13:8-13 8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. 9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. 11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. btw... that which is perfect is referring to the bible and once the bible was completed that which is in part (ie. prophecies, speaking in tongues, and yes even faith healings) would be done away with. and on my final note... i've head several of you send benny your love (probibly your money too) and you said you wish to be with him when this life is over. well, i truely feel sorry for you... because unless he changes his ways (and i pray that he does) i don't think you'll want to spend eternity where he's going. my love goes out to all of you.

I admit, I am going out on a limb here, but I seem to remember something in the bible about rich men, camels and eyes of needles. Or was that just part of the rich imagery of the bible and should not be taken literally, like the the creation story - oops sorry, that one should be taken literally, right? Update: OK - let's assume that he actually can heal people. Fine, nice job, Benny, keep it up. Now, how should the lord reward him? Well, he does seem to collect a lot of money - could this be his earthly reward? What use is money for such a spiritual man? Surely not - the money is to do the Lord's work - Benny's reward will be spiritual. Well, if this is the case, then maybe he can have his finances publicly audited to prove to us doubting Thomases that the money goes where it should. And if he does, I say unto you the lion will lie down with the lamb in this forum......UPDATE: Benny recently got nasty in Nigeria while trying to line his pockets (in Jesus' name, of course). The Lord filled him with righteous indignation at the poor turnout and lo he feared that he might end up losing money - and on the third day, he spake thus 'Four million dollars down the drain' (shouted into the microphone from the stage). Temper temper! The complete story is here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/4619733.stm

DeeeMon!

I am not going to even bother to describe this phony who has raised the expectations of the sick only to break the hearts of many. I think I'll just let the word of God describe him. Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophecy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers.' (Matt 7:21-23)

From where Jesus got money in the money box? John 12:6 This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the money box; and he used to take what was put in it. Answer is people provided for Jesus Luke 8:3 and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others who provided for Him from their substance. Benny gets money for ministry from people and there is nothing wrong in that. Prov 10:22 The blessing of the LORD makes one rich, And He adds no sorrow with it. http://jcsearch.com/blogs/vinisaac Most of the people here seems to be just to criticize. They seem to accuse without cause. Even when somebody shows from scripture they are not willing to accept. I think they believe in their theology more than believing God's Word. That's the reason they hate Benny Hinn so much. I have not seen Benny Hinn deviating from the Word of God like this people do. if one does not judge Benny in light of the scripture then that person doesn't have any right to judge in the first place. ------------------------- Ole Anthony has accused Benny hinn of lavish spending while he himself spends $300 on his coat. http://members.jcsearch.com/bennyhinn/benny-hinn-nbc-anthony-trinity-foundation.htm Vinod Isaac http://jcsearch.com/blogs/vinisaac TV Evangelist Buster when a person talks about Bible and evangelists he needs some integrity. you had written in Jentezen Franklin rateit column that seed does not mean giving it only means Word. I gave you Bible verse and those verses are still there. I expected some honesty from you to acknowledge that seed does mean giving in that passage but it looks you are yourself are fraud. Why try to call somebody else fraud when you are one. ----------sfalconer how do you know that camera man is uneffected? --------- PBeavr I have heard it time and again that Benny Hinn is a con artist but have not found a single evidence yet. Only speculation of people. Is driving Mercedes sin? give me one Bible reference where it says so. -------- irishgit Benny Hinn may open his arms but question is will God open His arms unless you repent. Bible is clear about scornful Psa 1:1 Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; Psa 1:4 The ungodly are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind drives away. ----------------------- huddl2 what do you mean by he would actually preach? to me it looks he preaches at every single convention he does. Here is what was happening at the time of Jesus. Mat 4:24 Then His fame went throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all sick people who were afflicted with various diseases and torments, and those who were demon-possessed, epileptics, and paralytics; and He healed them. Mat 8:16 When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick, Also Jesus commanded the following Mat 10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give. have you ever tried to follow Mat 10:8? Flick01 Are you saying that the same God who made satan fall from heaven can not make the pounds to fall off? Listen God of Bible is a God who heals people and pslamist says that He is a God who heals all let me repeat all diseases Psa 103:3 Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, It is upto individuals to believe in that verse and if he/she doesn't then they should remove that passage from Bible. California Woman thanks for agreeing to what I wrote. I will boast on the Lord instead of boasting on money. I am glad Benny Hinn does the same. I never heard him boast on money instead every time I have seen he has glorified the Lord Jesus Christ. Recently he was in India and under tough circumstances his message was the same Jesus saves, Jesus heals and Jesus delivers. Believe me if he was after money he would have been the first to run for his life. Test of a true servant comes on what he speaks under pressure. I am from India and I know how dangerous it was for Benny to preach in Bangalore, India. California Woman You seems to be one of those arrogant rich people who keep on boasting about money and just try to show all the time that how rich they are. TV Evangelist Buster it looks you need to read your Bible big time. People don't get the experience of slain in the Spirit at the moment of receiving healing instead they do it when the Holy Spirit descends or if they are in the presence of the Lord. Most of the people who come on the stage at Benny Hinn's meetings are those who are already healed and are there to testify of what great things Lord has done for them. If you read your Bible you will find scriptures after scriptures where people fell to the ground. Probably your problem is that you don't read your Bible.

UPDATE: I watched that Dateline story of Benny Hinn that magu suggested (Show me the Benny.) That ten minute special showed us how Hinn spends the money that people who like him give to him. It was so shocking and deceiving, its comical. When anyone gives Hinn money, they automatically think that it is going towards the spread of the Gospel and poor people and charity WRONG. It is going towards $2000 per night luxury hotel rooms, $500 restaurant dinners, $80,000 cars, expensive clothes, lay overs which are really a holiday in a beach house when the pilot fuels the plane, his private jet, his big 7 bedroom mansion, administration and security guard fees, exotic holidays, on-show expensive weddings for his children, and only a very small percentage goes to what you think it is going to. Plus he has made false prophecies about Jesus returning before His second coming on his stage (which Jesus clearly warns us will NOT happen.) I would have to say, that Benny Hinn is a full on false prophet. I was giving him a chance, but after seeing evidence after evidence and Bible contradiction after contradiction, I would be either stupid or really weak not to see what person he really is. WAKE UP everyone who likes Hinn! Do not support him or give him ANY of your money. Just because someone calls the name of Jesus and reads from the Bible, it doesnt make them genuine. Because in Matthew 7:25 the false prophet said Lord (Jesus), Lord, I healed in your name and cast out demons in your name (and they probably preached in His name too) but Jesus said, I never knew you. You know a Christian by their fruits, and Hinns fruits dont look very good. Did you know that Satans servants masquerade as servants of righteousness and did you know that there is no false prophet who doesnt quote scripture? It would be very unusual for a false prophet not to know the Word of God back to front or to not quote it. His tactics into getting money are more dangerous now. It is now, It is a really evil thing to bring shame to the name of Jesus. If you give, you have exalted His name and obeyed the command of spreading the Gospel. ORIGINAL: I give Hinn a one rating for a number of reasons. For a start he curses those who oppose him which is clearly the opposite to what Jesus commands us to do. Jesus commands us to bless those who curse us. Secondly, he has scary false prophets who are either really extreme (eg they tell you to fast at least one day a week), or add to the Bible by giving prophecies of destruction that's going to happen. Of course, they always exalt his ministries. Thirdly, Hinn has this pastor called Steve (don't know his last name) who always manipulates you into giving away all of your money. It is a joke and could turn a lot of non-Christians off. I don't watch Hinn often, but the first time I saw Steve, his tactic was to convince you that if you have truly forgiven people, you will give $70 or $700. The level of your forgiveness is the level of your donations. The second time I saw Steve, now it was, 2005 is the year of grace which is available to all believers for free, BUT you must donate two lots of $500 (total of $1000) or 5 lots of $200. Steve is getting more gaim! Soon, he'll ask for $5000. Plus I've also heard that if you want to keep Satan under control, you must give a $40 donation. This is completely unbiblical because when Jesus observed people giving donations in the temple, He didn't carry on like that. And in the book of Acts when Apostle Peter needed donations, Peter didn't say to them that if they didn't give him $700, he could not preach the word and God wouldn't be able to work through him. The Christians, out of their own free will were lead to give all their possessions away. The point is, is that if those evangelists had real faith, they would depend on the Spirit to give people the desire to want to give. It is certainly not wrong to preach on giving, but a preacher who has to re-introduce OLD Covenant commands such as tithing or frighten someone into giving money, doesn't have true faith in God's provision. Also another dangerous thing, which people may get really hurt over. That is, at the end of his show, Hinn sometimes says eg, 'There is someone with a red shirt who has a bad headache, it is now going away, there is someone who is now receiving sight' etc. Well I say, there is a person reading this, with a blue shirt who has a sore back, now they are going to be healed! Of coarse, I just made that up. That's what Hinn is probably doing. That can really hurt someone, eg he may say someone is going to be healed of a serious eye condition, then that person waits and has the faith of a child. Then they realise that their condition is getting worse. It can make them feel as if God doesn't love them, yet He is healing everyone else. I would take Hinn with a grain of salt. Better still, I wouldn't watch him at all.

Watch out for wolves in sheep's clothing. This is a false prophet and teacher. Many of his doctrines are not scriptural. His prophecies have failed many times over, and if you know your Bible you know the test of a true prophet is 100% accuracy 100% of the time. Don't get caught up with these kinds of teachers, read the Word because it is our only authority - not man's traditions/opinions. In the end times many false prophets shall arise, we're here, and he's one.

UPDATE to TV Evangelist Buster: I wasn't taking about you; I was talking about those who read the constant bickering between Christians. I do not like this weblist as you can tell because it makes Christians look divided and not in one accord. Sure we have an obligation to warn others about false prophets, but I strongly believe this is not the forum for that. Not every one of 92 Evangelists on this site is evil. 99% of your comments are negative. If you find fault with a pastor, them it's ok to mention it but it would be nice to acknowledge that all have sinned come short of the Glory of God. Mention that you too are with sin but by God's wonderful grace we all can be forgiven. Don't just attack, but offer some hope. Occasionally you may mention a pastor that you like. UPDATE 2: Sad and unnecessary conversations abound here on this weblist between Christians. UPDATE: numbah I don't blame you for wanting to stay clear of this weblist! There are no winners here, only losers and the losers are the ones who read this stuff and start to doubt the Lord.

I REALLY don't get it. I wish someone would explain to me why this guy draws such a huge following. His crusades and his show are always the same old stupid boring crap. Only when his wife opens her mouth, (or when he is raising money for TBN and coming up with outrageous prophesies) do things get interesting. UPDATE: Just went to his crusade (out of sheer, um, curiosity). Sat through almost two hours of more-or-less politically-correct-type evangelism. Then the healing part started. Same old silly crap you see on TV. I STILL don't get it AT ALL! My two main complaints: (1) This S**T makes Christians look ridiculous; and (2) Hinn and his ilk steel from the poor and give to the rich. Very, very sad.

What happened to the flip-over hairdo? You guys on the TBN - Saturday Night Live?

This guy should be locked up for what he's doing. If God truly gave him a gift to heal by touch WHY is he not in hospitals healing children instead of arenas raking in money? Someone who truly had such a gift today from God would be more effective for God's cause by walking into a hospital for children and healing them for FREE, that would cause people to stand up and take notice. Instead he books aren's in cities where he actually makes MONEY for putting on a show, sickening.
