Sorry but I seem to just question this guy. Howcome he can perform pretty much miracles and hearings in the name of Christ and noone else can? Opinions please.
 
Oh for goodness sakes, he even confessed to being ‘Roman Catholic’. Now everyone will think we are like him in every way. Slaps myself in face😦

There are no verifiable “miracles” performed by Benny Hinn; he is quite a showman and very skilled in mass hypnosis, but lacks the humility you will find in a true man sent by God.

Benny’s a clown. Don’t pay any heed to him. It’s all fake.

That’s news to me. I know he attended Catholic school when he was a child. When did he claim himself being “Roman Catholic”???

He’s claimed it a few times but I can’t find you all the quotes; you should do a quick search 🙂
 
I’ve actually been to one of his conferences. And yes, he lacks humility in a PAINFULLY obvious way. He grew up Orthodox, and is now Pentecostal. The only thing that links him with Catholicism is his devout belief in the Eucharist, which makes him scandalous for Protestants.

I’ve been to the healing service he had too. And honestly, its sort of hard to argue when you see little old ladies pushing their own wheelchairs out of the building. I do think he has some sort of healing gift, but not nearly to the extent that he claims. Not nearly as many people are healed as he claims. After the healing, people were invited to go up and give their testimonies if they were healed. And you could tell that much of it was hype. People wanted so badly to be healed that they had obvious adrenaline rushes for a sort period of time. And by the end you could see most of the people were still afflicted with their ailment. But there were the few exceptions where people were actually healed.

I do think that God can miraculously heal you if He wills it. And in those few cases at the conference, I think He did. But I would not recommend attending a Benny Hinn conference. The music is phenomenal and a speaker may even have some good insights, but the conference is built on hype, and not on true movements of the Holy Spirit.

Speaking as a charismatic Catholic, I can even tell you I personally think its a little insulting to the Holy Spirit to be overtaken with emotion caused by hype and call it movements of the Holy Spirit.

You’re right to question him.

The saints we’ve had who have been associated with miracles, none of them would have TV shows after themsevles.

Saint Catherine Laboure and Sister Lucia from Fatima didn’t even let it be known with their other sisters that they were the famous visionaries. I think it was the same with Saint Bernadette Soubirous. Padre Pio healed people too. As did Saint Andre Bessette. Yet all these people dressed as peasants and owned absolutely nothing. I notice Benny Hinn’s clothes look tailored and expensive. The wikipedia page on him (and his income) are quite revealing. Also he’s apparently getting a divorce.

Ever watch Joyce Meyer? She’s entertaining to watch, and I real value in some of the things she’s said, but I find it really odd that she’s divorced and remarried. These people hold up the Bible and centre their lives around it – and rightly so – but they seem to conveniently overlook the remarriage thing.

Does Hinn really perform miracles? Journalists have apparently investigated on it; you might wanna check out YouTube, there might be something there.

Haven’t sifted through it myself, I might when I find the time.

I did like watching him though. It’s not that I believe in him, but I just was naturally inquisitive. Plus it was on weekday mornings when nothing else was on, and I was in a foreign country with limited English-language channels.

Had no idea he claimed to be a Catholic though. That’s just appalling.

Check out 1:58.

It would be nice if they gave more details of who this source is and if they had more to back it up (it’s basic journalism for crying out loud), but it’s interesting to hear.
 
I heard Mr. Benny Hinn had recently completed a valid RCIA program in Florida. It was stated he wanted to broaden his ministry to include the mother church.

I can’t seem to find anything saying that. Happen to have any more details? I’d like to learn more.
 
Benny is a FAKE!:okpeople: Like another person said, dont pay any attention to him. Doesnt he sometimes push and tackle down some of the people on stage claiming that the ‘power of God is working through him’? Since when did Jesus push people to the ground? Give me a verse please, and I will gladly give you the deed to my car:rolleyes:
If he really had healing power from God flowing through his hands he would be doing the will of God. Not moonwalking across the stage taking peoples money . He’s chris angel with a bible.
