Who made you judge and jury? I’m sure you’d be real upset if someone said stuff like that about you or someone you admire, especially if that person being comdemned were Catholic. Sure, he may be crazy, but don’t we all have specks in our own eyes?
Why because I,m telling the truth,its been on 60mins and the Larry King show,the new papers…Benny Hinn is a con man and a fake and a lot of non-cathloic preacher say he is a fake. he had a person die because he said she was full of the Holy Spirit. It has nothing to do with a cathloic are a non-cathloic it has to do with a crook. Do your research on him and learn what he is all about,Benny Hinn,he does not preach he just has a show
Saying that anyone will burn in hell(or intimating same)is a very dangerous and unChristian thing to do.“Judge not lest you be judged”.
Did I say he was going to hell I dont think I did may be you need to reread the post,
yes Bill your statement here is a judgemental one.of the kind we all as catholics are not to make…now if Benny were a catholic you could full well make that statement.But he is not of the church so he is in God’s hands for his judgement not ours.
Tell that to the Atheists in the foxholes.
Where do you see the word “HELL” in my statement,if he was cathloic I could make the statement,I,m Cathloic do we have two sets of rules,you can say things about Cathloic but not non-cathloics. I,m sorry but I did not go to that school and I still do not see the word “hell” in my statement. I can now see why non-cathloics are getting upset with some cathloic on this board,thank you for your opinion and have a good dayyes Bill your statement here is a judgemental one.of the kind we all as catholics are not to make…now if Benny were a catholic you could full well make that statement.But he is not of the church so he is in God’s hands for his judgement not ours.
St.Paul’s first epistle to the Corinthians5:12-13"For what have i to do with judging those outside?Is it not those inside whom you judge?13For those outside God will judge…"yes Bill there are two sets of rules for those inside the church…
So Paul was talking about Cathloics and non-cathloic…
A fact is a fact and not a opinion or a miss understading of Our language, but thank you for your OPINION
Yeah, uhm…that’s called a judgment. I’m not going to insult your understanding of the English language…but if you say someone is a scam artist, a fraud, a phony, then you are in fact pronouncing a judgment.
The denial around here is almost unbearable.
I do not believe that Benny Hinn has ever been convicted of fraud or even charged with a crime in a court of law in relation to his Christian ministry.
A true man of God does not spend thousands of dollars per night at a fancy Hotel. There is something inherently wrong with this. If we are suspicious and/or judgemental it is because making millions of dollars, for preaching the word of God, seems sacreligious. I do not recall the apostles getting that much money for what they did.
You think that judging the whole Church (all Catholics throughout time) the same as judging one man like Benny Hinn? One represents a prejudice known as anti-catholicism the other a personal dislike for a man claiming to be a man of God.Which means, all of your comments are nothing more than malicious rumor and vexatious innuendo.
I wonder if I said the same about the Catholic Church, if my posts would be considered my stating of facts or malicious judgments?
( P.S. I think you know the answer)
I suspect the Pope does in fact stay in 5 star hotels when traveling and does not stay in motel 6’s, contrary to what you want to believe.
“There is one true Church, the really ancient Church into which are enrolled those who are righteous according to God’s ordinance… In essence, in idea, in origin, in preeminence we say that the ancient Catholic Church is the only Church.” - Clement of Alexandria, Stromata"
All your doing is justifying why it’s Ok to gossip about Benny Hinn. When you use words like fraud, phony, scam artist and a man has never been convicted in a court of law, it’s called slander and defamation of character.You think that judging the whole Church (all Catholics throughout time) the same as judging one man like Benny Hinn? One represents a prejudice known as anti-catholicism the other a personal dislike for a man claiming to be a man of God.
P.S. I think you know the answer.
The term “Roman” Catholic was something that only came about after the reformation, it was used as as perjorative by Protestants. So in effect, you will not find the term Roman Catholic Church being used before the 1500’s. We can be assured, however, that the RC Church is that Church which Clement of Alexandria wrote of.
TRUE. However the bad thing in spending money is: IF THE MONEY SPENT WAS NOT OWNED BY THE PERSON SPENDING or IF THE MONEY WAS A COLLECTION FROM SOMEBODY or A GROUP WHICH SHOULD SERVE A GROUP NOT THE INDIVIDUAL.
