Who heals at a Benny Hinn crusade?

[yesult]

but by biblical definition, hinn IS a false prophet. that part is absolutely undeniable. and since scripture gives very clear definitions of what a false prophet is,

Do tell.

If Benny Hinn has given a false prophesy, then welcome to the pentecostal church. False prophesies have abounded far and wide across its broad and varied face for as long as I've been watching. And from many genuine people.

That's why it's so important to 'test the spirits'.

There's a difference between someone who deliberatly leads others astray and someone who makes a mistake. If we're going to stone people for mistakes, then there wouldn't be many prophets left in the body of christ today. And you're going to be facing before Gods throne one day, every one of his children that you throw stones at, so you'd better be in the right.

Particularly since the words says that 'as we judge, so shall we be judged. And with the same measure that we pour out, it shall be poured back to us.' That means everybody.

I was going to make a post with similar subject matter but cut it and I am glad I did as yours was much better worded..good post yesult...

[yesult]

thanks tah - I just wanted to add, also, that someone might mistakenly accuse a person of using the power of satan to heal someone, and Satan certainly does masquerade as a 'healer' to suck people in (as Fez very rightly said.) However when someone doesn't bother to check, and just brands one of Gods servants as doing the above, it's a pretty dangerous thing to do.

God can forgive a genuine mistake. But sometimes people prefer to accuse because they don't want to believe. That has serious consequences. The pharisees would have known that Jesus was healing through the power of God, but he threatened their comfort zones so they chose to accuse him instead.

When you deliberatly accuse a genuine christian of healing through the power of Satan because you don't want to admit the truth, how can God trust you with eternity?

Genuinely deceived -

2Ti 3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving,

and being deceived.

2Co 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.

14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their work.

Ga 2:6 But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man's person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me.

Dont know about benny hinn but there are people who have a gift so to speak to ease physical pain of others. Just like some are good in certain sports whilst others are good in playing musical instruments.It cannot be teached but it can be inherited. The ones that ease the pain best are very devouted christians and do use this gift with reluctance ,almost afraid to use it. They do not cure, they only ease the pain.

My wife is a devouted christian but on every occasion she feels the pain of somebody suffering (physical pain) she puts her hand on the suffering point ,the pain eases up.Herself believes it is a sin in what she is doing as God and Jesus can do this, therefore is ask forgivness and next day she goes to mass.

PS. I might also add, that blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, according to the context in which it was mentioned, was accusing people who healed through the Holy Spirit as healing through the power of Satan.

Testing the spirits is wise - but you want to be really careful about who you accuse of being a false prophet.

There is much proof, according to the Word.

[yesult]

Well as I said. Be prepared to be stoned with the stones you throw. And as far as blasphemy of the spirit goes - the above is my interpretation of the passage, and on face value I can't see how it could be interpreted any other way, but perhaps it's in the context of deliberate, consistent sin.

I don't know - and God is the final judge. (But it isn't an area that I would be careless about messing with.)

Many years ago I went with a friend to a Benny Hinn revival. I have never been so shocked and amazed by what I saw. This man was growling, ranting and cursing and acting as though he was possessed by something other than the Holy Spirit. My friend and I abruptly left. Since that time I have kept tabs on his "career" and I can only say that I have been quite concerned by some of his statements, behavior, etc. You have but to type his name into any search engine on the internet and find many other Christians who have experienced the same concern. I think his 'ministry' is somewhat troubling - at least IMO.

Please do not assume we are "careless" either . . . .

If you "don't know" then of course you are not capable of marking them as false prophets. But God has given us His word so we can judge them.

You mean "mistakes", plural, right? If any prophecy does not come true, for any reason, then the giver is false. The Bible gives us guidelines on how to judge whether a prophet is of God or not. That is the standard that is being used to judge this man's veracity. As well all in the ministries who have similar results.
