I really think it bothers God to see Christians "arguing" about ministers. Now, on the same hand I feel it is important to know that if someone comes preaching something other than Jesus Christ we need to be leery. For example, mormonism has a belief that Joseph Smith is equal to Jesus Christ, and in 1997 Hinckley (their president) said the Jesus they worship is not the same Jesus the rest of the church worships.
I do not watch Benny Hinn very often at all. In fact I rarely watch "christian television" but I did watch Hinn at one of his meetings in Tokyo, Japan. He was giving an altar call. He was inviting people to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Benny Hinn said, after hundreds of people came to the altar to become Christians, that "This is the greatest miracle ever, people being saved!"
The problem is this: we have too many man made doctrines that we hold on to. We have people who are extremely charismatic, who feel that all the signs mentioned in the Bible apply to today, like I do and then we have people who feel that those signs were just for the Bible and not for today. God is the same today as He was then as He will always be. We will not all agree, but we can all agree that Scripture is 100% true and unfailing.
Benny Hinn is a minister of the Gospel. Don't judge Him, let God do that. Remember that 1 Chronicles 16:22 says "Do not touch My anointed ones, And do My prophets no harm!"
We question the validity of Pastor Benny Hinn's work for Christ - whether he is a false prophet or not;
and we use such "sources" as youtube to validate our doubts!? "How sad...
Whether Pastor Benny Hinn is a true prophet is NOT for us to debate.
- If he is false, then the blackness of darkness is reserved for him.
- If he is genuine, then you, my friend are in damnation of hellfire for speaking against an anointed servant of The Holy Spirit.
If you are so concerned with Pastor Benny Hinn, DID YOU PRAY FOR HIM? DID YOU ASK JESUS TO DELIVER HIM FROM HIS DECEPTION? HYPOCRITE!
As men of God, let us beware! what we allow and tolerate!
Nonsensical theological debates is not our place!
We have better things to do. MEN! WAKE UP!
Pastor Benny Hinn has been preaching for decades.
... And you?
When was the last time you took out your gym bag, filled it with cheap paperback bibles and tracks and sandwiches for the poor, and hit the streets! HYPOCRITE! Do this first twice a week for ten years - and then maybe you won't be so concerned with what Pastor Benny Hinn is doing!
as for the comparison of men to men??? really, his life of "doing good" is like filthy rags if his heart is not right! even to feed a starving child is sin to those that are not of G_D!
Benny Hinn does not preach the Gospel of Jesus but the gospel of benny! his false healing and feel good presentation is not the gospel in the Bible! those "CONVERTS" u see are paid actors, the heallings are as fake as the devil, open your eyes dear friend and see the truth. You are called to seek the truth, not blind yourself from it in a temple made by you to not judge, Jesus taught us to drive the evil out of our lives, he condemned many false teachers in the temple.
No where in the bible do we see a preacher calling people to be healed so that they will come to know Jesus but rather come to Jesus to be healed!
we are called to hold those that claim to be a prophet to a higher standard, in fact, one false proclamation by a man that is claiming to be a prophet of god will call down OUR judgement to stone the false prophet. dont be so fast to use the words of Jesus to proclaim any as a hypocrite... for by your own words you shall be judged.
we should NEVER proclaim another as a hypocrite, but we should certainly proclaim another as teaching the false gospels. the heal good self serving gospel of benny hinn is evil and wrong and he will be judged for this.
False have been always in place and they continue in our times!
2Pe 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
Besides false prophets and teacher there also false apostles
2Co 11:4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.
2Co 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
But let us stay at falxe prophets though words of prophecy are more sure than miracles, bearing evidence. Signs and wonders does not! (Deu 13:1...)
2Pe 1:19-20 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
How we reveal them!
Some recently insist by fruits! Nothing more deceiving than that. You can not expect good fruits from an infected tree. Thus John suggest.
1Jn 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
