I have had so many people tell me not to judge Benny Hinn. I have been told that he is an anointed vessel of God and that everything he does aligns with the Word of God. People, that is not the case. When I became a Christian, I was in the charismatic movement for few years. I have seen Benny Hinn live, on TV and at Church. When I speak of him I don’t speak from not knowing and always am sure. I will never make an allegation on anyone and call them a false teacher if he/she was not. Benny Hinn may be a fine charismatic man who may even know how to teach but he is in no way doctrinally correct. Benny Hinn has also made a lot of false prophecies which none have come to pass. According to the Holy Bible those people should be stoned. Now we live in a different world and can never or would we want to stone anyone but we must identify the wolves in sheep’s clothing and make it public so the little sheep don’t fall pray for the big bad wolf that actually looks like a sheep.
I knew a friend (who just passed away) and we went to Benny Hinns meeting in Anaheim few years ago. We asked him to pray for my friends health since he was dying and Benny Hinn pretty much wanted $5000 to pray for people on a personal basis. That was the night God used to help me open my eyes and realize that some of this people are fakes and false prophets. My friend got very discouraged since he had high hopes and thought God would use Benny Hinn to cure his disease. He left and went back home really sad and felt like God was rejecting him. It’s been few years since that day and he never got strong in his faith and very sad to say that he passed away 11/2009.
People like Benny Hinn are false prophets and false hope givers. So many people I have personally known who have sent hundreds and some in the thousands thinking they were going to get it back 10 fold but they never did. In my opinion, Benny Hinn is a con artist. I have heard him collect about so many building projects and half we never saw completed. He will pretty much take every dime you have and will do it in the name of the Lord. It’s a sad shame and I pray that Benny Hinn will repent one day and that the Truth that Saves and Transforms finds him and opens his eyes.
Good post CRAOM! To me what people like Benny Hinn are doing is they are spreading a false gospel. Christianity was never meant to be like its on TBN… All these people have to repent and Hinn is one of the biggest ones. May God have mercy on us all. Thanks for sharing with your readers and looking forward to more posts from your website. superb site.
So sorry about your friend, and very sorry that he believed so blindly. Whenever someone has their hand out for money…that is a red flag. Though it is incredible to me that those like Jim and Tammy Faye in the ‘heyday’ profited so extremely from those who did blindly believe, it will continue on until people really STOP believing blindly. To give money to something like that supports corruption.
