Hi everyone its nice being back to Usenet. I am doing some research on
some of the Word of Faith teachers.
Has anyone either researched Benny Hinn's teachings or been to one of
his
services?
A couple of years ago, I did some research on him because my Aunt told
me
how great he was. Unfortunately, I found that he was quite a fraud;
proclaiming to do miracles when none were actually performed, saying
things
that contradicted God's Word, claiming to heal people that later say
they
weren't healed, etc.
If you haven't made yourself familiar with the Apologetics Index, then
please do. It's a fantastic resource because it investigates people,
movements, sects, etc. It takes their very words from their literature
and
teachings and holds it against the Word of God.
Here is the entry for Benny Hinn: http://apologeticsindex.org/h0 1.html
In short, beware of Benny Hinn. He has lied many times and led many
astray.
He has some heretical teachings. It appears that he became very
popular
before he was a mature believer; before he was grounded in the Word,
and it
caused him to make up things that were found to contradict the Bible.
I'd
be surprised if he hasn't been approached about his lies and his false
teachings, so he likely blazed a trail that he felt he couldn't or
wouldn't
retract. Unfortunately, this has left him in a place with the Word
Faith
movement that is very undesirable to Bereans that meticulously study
the
scriptures.
Sincerely,
Jason
