Awesome reply Lady

Benny also gives false hope to the real hurting people. His healing crusades have been proven to be a hoax of the first magnitude.

Do I mind his money? Yeah! YOU BETCHA!!! The money in sucks in off off truly suffering people!

He is a Charlatan, a crook and a deceiver! He preaches false doctrine! He is in no way a part of the Body of Christ!!!!

He serves Satan!!!!

Just another 2

The point of all that I said in regards to him was that we are not called to judge him, that means all of us. 

Ahem....

1 Corinthians 5:9-13

11 What I meant was that you are not to associate with anyone who claims to be a Christian yet indulges in sexual sin, or is greedy, or worships idols, or is abusive, or a drunkard, or a swindler. Don't even eat with such people. 12 It isn't my responsibility to judge outsiders, but it certainly is your job to judge those inside the church who are sinning in these ways. 13 God will judge those on the outside; but as the Scriptures say, "You must remove the evil person from among you." 

Hello?

Marc:

When you say "opponent of Hinn" do you mean Hank Hanegraff? Hank Hannegraf has an apologetics ministry. He exposes false doctrines and does not comment on Hinn's money at all.

The only reason money was brought up at all, was one of Hinn's followers on this thread, His Son, started talking about Hannegraf's money, which pales in comparison to Hinn's money. Why he even brought this up is beyond me. He brought up something he probably wishes he had not.

His Son: You say that you do not judge people for their money, but for their doctrines? The only thing about Hannegraf you brought up was his money???!!

How many words are there for decieving?

We heard all these things before and will hear them again and the more how closer we get to Jesus His return---the devil knows his time is short, we should be praising God for all the things He has done!!

Why don't we just stick close to our Bible read our Bible ask the Holy Spirit to lead us in all truth?

We know there are lots of decievers in the world, and the sad thing is that so many start sincere but they end up loving money more....

trust no men only God!!

Yeah Cats!

Keep coming up with those scriptural references. Maybe the Bible might change their minds. Then again, maybe not.

Brothers and Sisters:

Isn't it sad how Benny and others like him preach about nothing but money?

I was watching tv the other night and a preacher (lack of better words) were telling the audience if we sent him $1,000 God would bless us. Well I don't know about ya'll, my blessings come straight from JESUS!!!!

I was so UPSET; thinking of all the new believers and the older generation and praying they would not fall to his prey.

I tithe to my church; and also to some ministries that I feel really try to reach the hurting and lost in Christ.

Love Ya'll

Yes, yes... good answer everyone

Artsilady : Hank Hanegraff ? I am sorry but I never heard of him, ( I don't live in the States)

I was just referring to whoever opposes, condemn, or criticise B Hinn. Perhaps you missed my point just as the others did. I don't care for Mr Hinn, in fact I cannot stand watching his preaching stile for longer than 2 minutes, but my discomfort comes from the way he works his audience, I don't really like showman's preachers even if they preach fundamental truths, much less if they depart from the truth on very dangerous ground. And B Hinn is not the only one I dislike, we have our very own showman preacher down under, and he sticks to the bible as far as I can discern yet I still don't like him.

The point I am making (and most outraged answers prove I am too close for comfort), is that many if not most people I know that talk against B.Hinn, do so because they are horrified at the thought of a preacher that has money. A preacher in most people's mind is poor, struggles to make ends meet, lives off donations that always scarce keep him lean and dressed in second hand clothes.

Anything that departs from such image of virtuous poverty is offensive and needs to be pointed at with accusing fingers.

Now before you start jumping up and down further, let me clarify that I have not just mad up this facts, it happen to be my job to note this things.

I run a business that makes me a decent amount of money and part of such business is running personal development seminars. In such seminars, I get a daily dosis of questions about money and ethics of earning money, about riches and rich people versus poor people, abundance and scarcity, blessings and catastrophes, economic myths and economic fallacies. When not all my audience is Christian, at a guess probably half is. I must say that it is Christians who (in general) display the most deep rooted misconceptions about money I have resumed in a simple sentence: Rich is evil and poor is virtuous.

I must say to my audience

marc, we've given you the reasons for our dislike of him. why do you seem to discount the reasons we've given and insisted that it's all money, as if we're all lying to you in our responses?

do you not think a christian can be legitimately outraged by someone preaching false doctrines and giving false prophecies?

i have to admit, i'm shaking my head in absolute astonishment at you.
