Benny Hinn Ministries Headquarters Mr. Hinn 's Bazaar Sells Jewish Religious Items But He is a Charismatic! Irving Texas

He said he is allegedly influenced by two WOMEN evangelists.

I don't know about Aimee Semple McPherson but my late mother liked Kathryn Kuhlman, even after she learned she was not Jewish.

If Benny wanted to camp it up, I have photos of his mentoresses.

I LOVE watching the Benny Hinn "Show"!

What a charlatin! He's got to be the biggest fake faith "healer" out there! I laugh when I see him push those people over.

The sick are his biggest victims. The sick who believe the will be, or are healed.

I recently had the opportunity to sign up for the OFFICIAL BENNY HINN RIP-OFF, I mean, MINISTRIES, NEWSLETTER so I can keep everyone apprised of any new scams he might come up with.

JUST IN TIME FOR PASSOVER --IMAGINE THAT!

I NOTICED THE ARTICLE ON THE VENERABLE MR. HINN.

I first saw him on the Trinity Broadcasting Network earing something that looked like a combination between a white stereotypical "Jessssuuuuuuussss robe" and a Roman Catholic priest black-colored cassock worn over it! And the Middle Eastern version of the infamous male Televangelist Pompador hair style.

I started to laugh at the preposterous stories he tells. No way a sane, reasonable person could believe this outrageous fiction! Shouldn't the Bible suffice? Sounds like he is adding more than the jot and the tiddle here. He challenges Ron Hubbard, the king of science fiction who founded his own religion!

Mr. Hinn IS providing a lot of ignorant, well- meaning,functionally illiterate, working poor people the opportunity to live extremely wealthy lives vicariously by sending him their nickles, pennies and dimes.

He promises miracles in return because he was born in ISRAEL. It is just a miracle that people give him all of these money!

So I looked up Mr. Hinn in the Encyclopedia of Pentecostal Preachers which is online. I don't know who is licensing him as a tax-exempt organization after the Assembly of G*d allegedly cut him loose but I doubt if it is the United Pentecostal Church.
And here is what the article says:

TV evangelist for Benny Hinn Ministries on TBN; author of "Good Morning, Holy Spirit" Word of Faith movement, Endorses the "Holy Laughter Movement" of Rodney Howard Browne
(( link removed by ROR))

In a fund-raising telethon (July 1997) for TBN (Trinity Broadcasting Network), Benny Hinn said "Jesus is coming again within the next two years." According to Hinn, "Jesus is coming soon. Rabbis in Jerusalem have told me they are looking for the coming of the Messiah within the next two years." Hinn said, "of course, they are looking for His first coming, but we are looking for His second coming." In his impassioned plea for supporters of TBN to help the financially troubled network (TBN is presently fighting a legal battle with the FCC over a "policy violation"), Hinn added, "we are now standing at the Jordan River, ready to cross over into the promised land."


RABBIS AREN'T LOOKING FOR JESSUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSS,MR. HINN! IT'S 2006. HE AIN'T HERE. GET OVER IT!

"Are you ready for some real revelation knowledge....you are god" (Benny Hinn, Our Position In Christ, tape # AO31190-1)
Benny Hinn claims to actually be a channel for God--that God enters him and takes over his mind and tongue to the point where he is unaware of what he has said. After his sermon on December 31, 1989, at Orlando Christian Center, during which he gave several future prophecies, Hinn expressed that he was drunk--presumably on the Holy Spirit--and asked someone to tell him what he had just said. (Biblical Discernment Ministries - 5/92)

Benny Hinn said: (1) Never, ever, ever go to the Lord and say, 'If it be thy will'; (2) No Christian should ever be sick; (3) We Christians possess 'power in our mouths' to heal or kill just as witches possess it; (4) Job tapped into the negative side of the faith force by a negative confession; (5) Christ 'became one with the nature of Satan' and was 'born again' in hell; (6) Christ would have sinned without the Holy Spirit and would have remained in the grave 'if the Holy Ghost had changed His mind about raising Him from the dead' (7) We are 'little gods' and even part of God with all the power of God; and (8) We are 'little messiahs,' everything that Jesus ever was. (The Berean Call, 1992 Media Spotlight Special Report, Feb 94)

Benny Hinn says that Christians confessing they are a sinner saved by grace only insult God with such garbage (The Toronto Blessing, Stephen Sizer, 1990)

Christians are Little Messiah's and little gods on the earth. Thus [Encouraging the audience]...say I am a God-man....This spirit-man within me is a God-man... say I'm born of heaven-a God-man. I'm a God man. I am a sample of Jesus. I'm a super being. Say it! Say it! Who's a super being? I walk in the realm of the supernatural. Say it!...You want to prosper? Money will be falling on you from left, right and centre. God will begin to prosper you, for money always follows righteousness....Say after me, everything I ever want is in me already. (Benny Hinn, TBN, 1990)
HERESY. PURE AND SIMPLE!

Do you know that every unbeliever is filled with a demon spirit? (Good Morning Holy Spirit, (Benny Hinn, Word, 1991) p.146)

God has 9 parts (tri-theistic). A. God has a body, soul and spirit. B. Jesus has a body, soul and spirit. C. Holy Spirit has a body, soul and spirit. (Benny Hinn, Benny Hinn broadcast, recorded 10/13/90)

Had He (Jesus) not offered Himself through the Holy Ghost, He would not be accepted in the eyes of God the Father. Nor would He have endured the sufferings of the cross. Had He not presented Himself through the Holy Ghost, His blood would not have remained pure and spotless. And let me add this: Had the Holy Spirit not been with Jesus, He would have sinned. (Benny Hinn, Good Morning Holy Spirit, (Word, 1991, p.135)

He [Jesus] who is righteous by choice said, 'The only way I can stop sin is by Me becoming it. I can't just stop it by letting it touch Me; I and it must become one.' Hear this! He who is the nature of God became the nature of Satan where He became sin! (Benny Hinn, TBN, 12/1/90).

He [Jesus] who is righteous by choice said, 'The only way I can stop sin is by Me becoming it. I can't just stop it by letting it touch Me; I and it must become one.' Hear this! He who is the nature of God became the nature of Satan where He became sin! (Benny Hinn, TBN, 12/1/90).

Hinn revealed that he periodically visits (Kathryn) Kuhlman's grave and that he is one of the few with a key to gain access to it. He also visits Aimee McPherson's grave where he says: "I felt a terrific anointing ... I was shaking all over ... trembling under the power of God ... 'Dear God,' I said, 'I feel the anointing.' ... I believe the anointing has lingered over Aimee's body. (Benny Hinn, April 7, 1991 sermon) NECROMANCY IS FORBIDDEN IN JUDAISM. WHAT ABOUT CHRISTIANITY?

I am a 'little messiah' walking the earth (Benny Hinn, Praise-a-Thon on TBN, November 6, 1990).
EQUATES SELF WITH JESUS BOTH BORN IN ISRAEL?

Jesus at His death became one with Satan. (Benny Hinn, Benny Hinn broadcast, recorded 12/15/90)

Poverty comes from Hell. Prosperity comes from Heaven. Adam had complete dominion over the earth and all it contains. A. Adam could fly like a bird. B. Adam could swim underwater and breathe like a fish. Adam went to the moon. Adam walked on water. Adam was a super being, He was the first superman that lived. Adam had dominion over the sun, moon & stars. Christians do not have Christ in their hearts. Sow a big seed, when you confess it, you are activating the supernatural forces of God. (Benny Hinn, Praise-a-thon, TBN, recorded November 1990)

Poverty is from the devil and that God wants all Christians prosperous. (Benny Hinn, TBN, 11/6/90)
the anointing increases. He gives you a little and watches you. Then He gives you more. (Benny Hinn, The Anointing. Nashville: Thomas Nelson. 1992. 81.)

The anointing is dependent upon my words. God will not move unless I say it. Why? because He has made us co-workers with Him. He set things up that way. (Benny Hinn, The Anointing. Nashville: Thomas Nelson. 1992. 82.) GET THE BUTTERFLY NET. THIS CHARLTAN PRESUMES TO GIVE ORDER TO GOD!

Though we are not Almighty God Himself, nevertheless, we are now divine (Benny Hinn, 12/1/90, TBN)

Wants to use Holy Ghost machine gun to kill Heresy Hunters. (Benny Hinn, Praise-a-thon (TBN), 11/8/90)

What does God the Father look like? Although I've never seen Him, I believe - as with the Holy Spirit - He looks like Jesus looked on earth. (Benny Hinn, Good Morning Holy Spirit, Word, 1991, p.87)

What was the appearance of God the Father? Like that of a man...God has the likeness of fingers and hands and a face. (Good Morning Holy Spirit, (Benny Hinn, Word, 1991) p. 82)

When you don't give money, it shows that you have the devil's nature. (Benny Hinn, Praise-a-thon (TBN), recorded 4/21/91)
WHAT A RACKET! THE DEVIL DOESN'T GIVE TO MR.HINN> SMART DEVIL.

You are a little god on earth running around. (Benny Hinn, Praise-a-thon broadcast on TBN, November, 1990)

You have so much today that is pure flesh, yet people have labeled it as the Spirit. It's not the Spirit, because it's not centered on Christ. It's pure emotionalism. Some of what is happening today, some of these manifestations where people are barking, making sounds of animals - I can tell you, that is not the Holy Spirit. It is purely demonic. The Holy Ghost does not bark. Only a devil barks. If somebody barks in my meeting, I'll cast the devil out of that man." (Benny Hinn Condemns Toronto Blessing/Pensacola Phenomena Praise The Lord July 4, 1997 videotape transcript) MY DOG IS A DEVIL.WOOF WOOF.

You watching TBN here. If you're doing such nonsense, get back to the Bible. And don't you dare experiment with what is not Scriptural, checking out if God is in it. My brother, if it's not in the Bible, He's not in it!! If it's not in the Word of God, He is not in it. (Benny Hinn Condemns Toronto Blessing/Pensacola Phenomena Praise The Lord July 4, 1997 videotape transcript) WHO IS HE?

Benny Hinn was not kicked out of the A/G ( Assembly of God) bcause he was seen, photographed , and filmed with Paul & Jan Crouch sipping wine at a seaside restaurant in CA. In fact, the A/G allowed Him in knowing how he is and were in hopes of providing oversight, help, and accountability to straighten out some of the theological and ethical problems. J. Don George of Calvary Temple A/G in Irving TX serves on his board along with a lawyer from his church.

In late 1994, Hinn was introduced into the A/G by Brother George Wood. I received this report from Keith Craft of Strike Force who claimed to be Wood's son-n-law. I was encouraged by Craft to embrace the Hinn experience, that Hinn's acceptance by the A/G would be positive.

Hinn was seeking 'cover' after stumbling over his understanding of the number of Persons in the Godhead and the number of the Gifts.

The excesses (antics) of his crusades were also brought into question by Charisma editor in August 1993.

Hinn needed cover and teaching, yet He continues as always.

The excuse for departure I received was that Hinn felt restricted within the A/G, that he wasn't free to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit, so he left of his own volition...

In the Public Health field, the carrier of a disease is called a 'vector'. If anything, Hinn seems to be a vector of the delusion that God is pouring out so that people who refuse to believe the Truth will continue to believe the counter or lie and so condemn themselves (2 Thess. 2).
Dave Hunt's CIB Bulletin for February 1992: Benny Hinn

Give no less than $100, he exhorts an audience, and promises to lay hands on all the envelopes and ask God for financial miracles for the givers. Praying at Kuhlman's grave: The secret to Hinn's power is his peculiar anointing, which he connects with Kathryn Kuhlman and Aimee McPherson, founder of the Foursquare Gospel Church. He first felt the full power of the Holy Spirit on him at a Kuhlman healing service in 1973 -- and her mantle has presumably fallen upon Hinn. He conducts his meetings almost exactly like hers -- though it takes Hinn much longer to get his audience into the expectant mood that seems to generate psychosomatic miracles. In an April 7, 1991 sermon, Hinn revealed that he periodically visits Kuhlman's grave and that he is one of the few with a key to gain access to it. He also visits Aimee's grave, where he says: I felt a terrific anointing ... I was shaking all over ... trembling under the power of God ... 'Dear God,' I said, 'I feel the anointing.' ... I believe the anointing has lingered over Aimee's body.

Winded catchers try to keep up with the toppling bodies. He rears back and with a pitching motion slays the entire choir with one toss. That's power, yells Benny. POWER! ...
HITLER WAS ALL ABOUT POWER TOO.

Hinn takes off his custom tailored jacket and rubs it briskly on his body. He is rubbing the Power into the jacket. Then he starts swinging it wildly, like the biblical David swinging his sling. He decks his followers left and right. Bam! Bam! Bam! The stage vibrates with their landings. Then he throws it [the anointed jacket]. Another bam. As a catcher moves to pick up a woman, Hinn slays him ... then he slays the catcher who caught the catcher. When Benny Hinn is moved, nobody is safe from the Power ... [H]e blows loudly into the microphone ... Hundreds fall backward ... a woman collapses in the aisle and begins to babble. And then, suddenly, Benny is gone. The power vanishes from the room, and the people stare in stunned silence. This aspect alone of Hinn's meetings is enough to condemn him. He capriciously throws the Holy Spirit around in most irreverent fashion, using the third Person of the Trinity as his servant to attract attention to himself. Hinn acts as though the anointing is some metaphysical power at his disposal, to be rubbed off onto objects. It looks impressive, works largely by the power of suggestion, but has no purpose except to make people stand in awe of Hinn. It's scary, says Bill James, a former church member. The people are mesmerized. ...When he comes out, he's like God. (Mike Thomas reported in Florida Magazine, Nov. 24, 1991)


He looks like a Ralph Lauren advertisement, a true gentleman of leisure. As always, his hair is sprayed solidly in place. I don't know if you'll ever [again] see a reverend without socks, he says proudly. [He's wearing no socks.] That's the way I am. I'm more down to earth than most people." This comes from a man who just turned in his Mercedes for a Jaguar and recently moved from the exclusive Heathrow development to the even more exclusive Alaqua, where he now lives in a $685,000 home. His suits are tailored, his shoes are Italian leather, and his wrists and finger glitter with gold and diamonds ... what he considers a modest lifestyle, as if everyone lives like this. He wears his diamond Rolex, diamond rings, gold bracelet and custom suits for all to see. ...What's the big deal, for goodness sake? he says. What am I supposed to do, drive a Honda? ...That's not in the Bible. ... I'm sick and tired about hearing about streets of gold [in heaven]. I don't need gold in heaven. I got to have it now. (Mike Thomas's impression of a visit with Hinn, Florida Magazine, Nov. 24, 1991)
Benny declares: I have received a new mandate from heaven -- bring the message of the miraculous, healing power of God back to America! Invade our nation with the miracle-working power of God in the '90s! He claims that about 1,000 people are healed at each miracle service. But as Thomas reported, Despite all the thousands of miracles claimed by Hinn, the church seems hard pressed to come up with any that would convince a serious skeptic. ... When pressed for truly convincing miracles, [Hinn spokesperson] Susan Smith cited a woman in Orlando who was cured of blindness caused by diabetes. But she would not give the woman's name. She later admitted that the woman's vision may still be cloudy. 'She still has diabetes, strangely ... [and] was just re-hospitalized.
People of God, shouts Benny, we must never speak such faith-destroying words as these: 'If it be thy will, Lord.' ... I am Him [Jesus]! The Word has become flesh in Meee! ...You are a little god on earth! His other heresies include the teaching that God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit each has a body, soul and spirit. There's nine of them! he told his congregation by revelation knowledge, but probably got the idea from Dake's Annotated Reference Bible, where this ancient heresy was revived on page 55. Hinn taught the same heresy as Hagin and Copeland, that when Jesus died on the cross He sank into hell and took upon him the nature of Satan and was tortured by Satan for our redemption. Then early in 1991 he repudiated this teaching along with other Word- Faith peculiar doctrines. Yet he had taught it as revelation knowledge. God's revelations don't change.
You know, I've looked for one verse in the Bible -- I just can't seem to find it -- one verse that says, 'If you don't like 'em, kill 'em.'' I really wish I could find it! ...Sometimes I wish God would give me a Holy Ghost machine gun. I'd blow your head off! The TBN studio audience loudly applauded those gracious words from the man of God. (directed at his critics) (Dave Hunt, Signs of the Times, CIB Bulletin, Jan. 1992)
Christian Research Institute review:

According to the monthly newsletter Religion Watch (RW), "since 1991 a new generation of televangelist preachers has clearly come into the ascendancy, suggesting where electronic media ministry will be headed....The new generation of televangelists [is] achieving prominence largely through the highly aggressive leadership of Trinity Broadcasting Network." At the top of RW's list: Benny Hinn. To his credit, Hinn has seemingly avoided the seamier temptations of stardom that have brought earlier televangelists to ruin. And despite his wild popularity, there is evidence that Hinn is on a quest for credibility -- one that he himself repeatedly frustrates by his inconsistencies. Again and again, Hinn's speculative, sometimes baffling theology and flamboyant crusade performances have drawn sharp attacks from evangelical leaders; repeatedly, Hinn has recanted, attempted to clarify his views, or sought to justify his actions. At least three times in as many years, Hinn has abandoned some aspect of the Faith doctrine -- once calling it "cultic" and "wrong" -- only to wander back. (Though he sometimes ridicules positive confession with remarks like, "It's faith, faith, faith, and no Jesus anywhere!" Hinn now promotes an aspect of prosperity teaching known as "seed-faith giving" -- a give-to-get doctrine patented by faith-preaching patriarch Oral Roberts.) Such flip-flops and seemingly short-lived attempts to seek the counsel and accountability of high-profile leaders like Campus Crusade's Bill Bright have left many observers of Hinn's ministry skeptical. Christian Research Institute president Hank Hanegraaff concludes that the only persuasive proof of Hinn's repentance would be his withdrawal of such doctrinally problematic books as Good Morning, Holy Spirit and Lord, I Need a Miracle. As of August, however, Hinn's ministry magazine still advertised the books -- including best-selling Spanish-language print and audio versions.

Now Hinn is seeking ordination by the Assemblies of God (AG), the largest Pentecostal body in the U.S. and formerly home to both Bakker and Swaggart. In June he was interviewed by the 20-man Peninsular Florida district presbytery, a step required for the application to proceed to AG headquarters. The closed-door session was described in a public talk given on June 15 by Pastor Dan Betzer of Ft. Myers, Florida, a member of the district presbytery and the voice of the Revivaltime radio broadcast. Though apprehensive and skeptical at first, Betzer described being caught off guard when, "to my shock, I heard Benny Hinn say, 'My theology has been miserable.'" After grilling Hinn on his doctrinal views, Betzer concluded that the evangelist had answered the panel's theological queries "brilliantly -- and, I believe, sincerely." Betzer told of Hinn's intention to bring his 7,000-member Orlando Christian Center into the AG, one reason being that "he felt it's the movement that God was going to use in the last days."

Even more importantly, said Betzer, Hinn sought AG ordination "to be under godly authority, and to have someone who will love me enough to tell me when I'm off the track." Hinn's application was approved by an overwhelming majority, its ultimate acceptance seeming all but certain. ("It would be a very unusual thing," said Betzer, "for a district presbytery to put their approval on a candidate and not have it approved on the national level.") But the application aroused the concern of a number of AG ministers. According to W.E. Nunnally, a professor at the denomination's Central Bible College in Springfield, Missouri, at least two AG college presidents strenuously objected to Hinn's potential ordination through direct correspondence with headquarters, as did district officials, missionaries, pastors, academics, and lay members. The Assemblies' executive presbytery met on July 26--27. But on the 27th, the syndicated television program Inside Edition ran a follow-up to its March 1993 investigation of Hinn. The new report highlighted apparent contradictions -- including a reversal of Hinn's promises not to preach about money, pronounce crusade-goers healed without full medical verification, or blow on them to make them fall under the Holy Spirit's power. (According to Betzer, Hinn confessed that "God has convicted me of blowing on people, 'cause it's theatrical, and it has no biblical basis whatsoever.")

The next day, a spokesman at AG headquarters stated tersely that "Benny Hinn's application for [ministry] credentials has been put on hold." Hinn made headlines in June when, at his Philadelphia crusade, he declared former heavyweight boxing champion Evander Holyfield healed of the heart problems that cost him his title. Holyfield later told the Philadelphia Inquirer that he believed his heart was totally healed and that he would return to the ring to seek an unprecedented third title. According to a volunteer helping Hinn with security on-stage, Hinn asked crusade-goers for $1,000 to help with costs. When Holyfield raised his hand, Hinn reportedly asked him for $100,000 -- and when the boxer agreed, Hinn pressed him further, asking him to underwrite the entire crusade, to the tune of $250,000. Holyfield acquiesced, and Hinn reportedly prayed that God would enable the pugilist to earn $200 million because of his donation. (Christian Research Institute)"

I NOTICED THE ARTICLE ON THE VENERABLE MR. HINN.

I first saw him on the Trinity Broadcasting Network earing something that looked like a combination between a white stereotypical "Jessssuuuuuuussss robe" and a Roman Catholic priest black-colored cassock worn over it!

When you don't give money, it shows that you have the devil's nature. (Benny Hinn, Praise-a-thon (TBN), recorded 4/21/91)
WHAT A RACKET! THE DEVIL DOESN'T GIVE TO MR.HINN> SMART DEVIL.

You are a little god on earth running around. (Benny Hinn, Praise-a-thon broadcast on TBN, November, 1990)

You have so much today that is pure flesh, yet people have labeled it as the Spirit. It's not the Spirit, because it's not centered on Christ. It's pure emotionalism. Some of what is happening today, some of these manifestations where people are barking, making sounds of animals - I can tell you, that is not the Holy Spirit. It is purely demonic. The Holy Ghost does not bark. Only a devil barks. If somebody barks in my meeting, I'll cast the devil out of that man." (Benny Hinn Condemns Toronto Blessing/Pensacola Phenomena Praise The Lord July 4, 1997 videotape transcript) MY DOG IS A DEVIL.WOOF WOOF.

You watching TBN here. If you're doing such nonsense, get back to the Bible. And don't you dare experiment with what is not Scriptural, checking out if God is in it. My brother, if it's not in the Bible, He's not in it!! If it's not in the Word of God, He is not in it. (Benny Hinn Condemns Toronto Blessing/Pensacola Phenomena Praise The Lord July 4, 1997 videotape transcript) WHO IS HE?

Benny Hinn was not kicked out of the A/G ( Assembly of God) bcause he was seen, photographed , and filmed with Paul & Jan Crouch sipping wine at a seaside restaurant in CA. In fact, the A/G allowed Him in knowing how he is and were in hopes of providing oversight, help, and accountability to straighten out some of the theological and ethical problems. J. Don George of Calvary Temple A/G in Irving TX serves on his board along with a lawyer from his church.

In late 1994, Hinn was introduced into the A/G by Brother George Wood. I received this report from Keith Craft of Strike Force who claimed to be Wood's son-n-law. I was encouraged by Craft to embrace the Hinn experience, that Hinn's acceptance by the A/G would be positive.

Hinn was seeking 'cover' after stumbling over his understanding of the number of Persons in the Godhead and the number of the Gifts.

The excesses (antics) of his crusades were also brought into question by Charisma editor in August 1993.

Hinn needed cover and teaching, yet He continues as always.

The excuse for departure I received was that Hinn felt restricted within the A/G, that he wasn't free to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit, so he left of his own volition...

In the Public Health field, the carrier of a disease is called a 'vector'. If anything, Hinn seems to be a vector of the delusion that God is pouring out so that people who refuse to believe the Truth will continue to believe the counter or lie and so condemn themselves (2 Thess. 2).
Dave Hunt's CIB Bulletin for February 1992: Benny Hinn

Give no less than $100, he exhorts an audience, and promises to lay hands on all the envelopes and ask God for financial miracles for the givers. Praying at Kuhlman's grave: The secret to Hinn's power is his peculiar anointing, which he connects with Kathryn Kuhlman and Aimee McPherson, founder of the Foursquare Gospel Church. He first felt the full power of the Holy Spirit on him at a Kuhlman healing service in 1973 -- and her mantle has presumably fallen upon Hinn. He conducts his meetings almost exactly like hers -- though it takes Hinn much longer to get his audience into the expectant mood that seems to generate psychosomatic miracles. In an April 7, 1991 sermon, Hinn revealed that he periodically visits Kuhlman's grave and that he is one of the few with a key to gain access to it. He also visits Aimee's grave, where he says: I felt a terrific anointing ... I was shaking all over ... trembling under the power of God ... 'Dear God,' I said, 'I feel the anointing.' ... I believe the anointing has lingered over Aimee's body.

Winded catchers try to keep up with the toppling bodies. He rears back and with a pitching motion slays the entire choir with one toss. That's power, yells Benny. POWER! ...
HITLER WAS ALL ABOUT POWER TOO.

Hinn takes off his custom tailored jacket and rubs it briskly on his body. He is rubbing the Power into the jacket. Then he starts swinging it wildly, like the biblical David swinging his sling. He decks his followers left and right. Bam! Bam! Bam! The stage vibrates with their landings. Then he throws it [the anointed jacket]. Another bam. As a catcher moves to pick up a woman, Hinn slays him ... then he slays the catcher who caught the catcher. When Benny Hinn is moved, nobody is safe from the Power ... [H]e blows loudly into the microphone ... Hundreds fall backward ... a woman collapses in the aisle and begins to babble. And then, suddenly, Benny is gone. The power vanishes from the room, and the people stare in stunned silence. This aspect alone of Hinn's meetings is enough to condemn him. He capriciously throws the Holy Spirit around in most irreverent fashion, using the third Person of the Trinity as his servant to attract attention to himself. Hinn acts as though the anointing is some metaphysical power at his disposal, to be rubbed off onto objects. It looks impressive, works largely by the power of suggestion, but has no purpose except to make people stand in awe of Hinn. It's scary, says Bill James, a former church member. The people are mesmerized. ...When he comes out, he's like God. (Mike Thomas reported in Florida Magazine, Nov. 24, 1991)


He looks like a Ralph Lauren advertisement, a true gentleman of leisure. As always, his hair is sprayed solidly in place. I don't know if you'll ever [again] see a reverend without socks, he says proudly. [He's wearing no socks.] That's the way I am. I'm more down to earth than most people." This comes from a man who just turned in his Mercedes for a Jaguar and recently moved from the exclusive Heathrow development to the even more exclusive Alaqua, where he now lives in a $685,000 home. His suits are tailored, his shoes are Italian leather, and his wrists and finger glitter with gold and diamonds ... what he considers a modest lifestyle, as if everyone lives like this. He wears his diamond Rolex, diamond rings, gold bracelet and custom suits for all to see. ...What's the big deal, for goodness sake? he says. What am I supposed to do, drive a Honda? ...That's not in the Bible. ... I'm sick and tired about hearing about streets of gold [in heaven]. I don't need gold in heaven. I got to have it now. (Mike Thomas's impression of a visit with Hinn, Florida Magazine, Nov. 24, 1991)
Benny declares: I have received a new mandate from heaven -- bring the message of the miraculous, healing power of God back to America! Invade our nation with the miracle-working power of God in the '90s! He claims that about 1,000 people are healed at each miracle service. But as Thomas reported, Despite all the thousands of miracles claimed by Hinn, the church seems hard pressed to come up with any that would convince a serious skeptic. ... When pressed for truly convincing miracles, [Hinn spokesperson] Susan Smith cited a woman in Orlando who was cured of blindness caused by diabetes. But she would not give the woman's name. She later admitted that the woman's vision may still be cloudy. 'She still has diabetes, strangely ... [and] was just re-hospitalized.
People of God, shouts Benny, we must never speak such faith-destroying words as these: 'If it be thy will, Lord.' ... I am Him [Jesus]! The Word has become flesh in Meee! ...You are a little god on earth! His other heresies include the teaching that God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit each has a body, soul and spirit. There's nine of them! he told his congregation by revelation knowledge, but probably got the idea from Dake's Annotated Reference Bible, where this ancient heresy was revived on page 55. Hinn taught the same heresy as Hagin and Copeland, that when Jesus died on the cross He sank into hell and took upon him the nature of Satan and was tortured by Satan for our redemption. Then early in 1991 he repudiated this teaching along with other Word- Faith peculiar doctrines. Yet he had taught it as revelation knowledge. God's revelations don't change.
You know, I've looked for one verse in the Bible -- I just can't seem to find it -- one verse that says, 'If you don't like 'em, kill 'em.'' I really wish I could find it! ...Sometimes I wish God would give me a Holy Ghost machine gun. I'd blow your head off! The TBN studio audience loudly applauded those gracious words from the man of God. (directed at his critics) (Dave Hunt, Signs of the Times, CIB Bulletin, Jan. 1992)
Christian Research Institute review:

According to the monthly newsletter Religion Watch (RW), "since 1991 a new generation of televangelist preachers has clearly come into the ascendancy, suggesting where electronic media ministry will be headed....The new generation of televangelists [is] achieving prominence largely through the highly aggressive leadership of Trinity Broadcasting Network." At the top of RW's list: Benny Hinn. To his credit, Hinn has seemingly avoided the seamier temptations of stardom that have brought earlier televangelists to ruin. And despite his wild popularity, there is evidence that Hinn is on a quest for credibility -- one that he himself repeatedly frustrates by his inconsistencies. Again and again, Hinn's speculative, sometimes baffling theology and flamboyant crusade performances have drawn sharp attacks from evangelical leaders; repeatedly, Hinn has recanted, attempted to clarify his views, or sought to justify his actions. At least three times in as many years, Hinn has abandoned some aspect of the Faith doctrine -- once calling it "cultic" and "wrong" -- only to wander back. (Though he sometimes ridicules positive confession with remarks like, "It's faith, faith, faith, and no Jesus anywhere!" Hinn now promotes an aspect of prosperity teaching known as "seed-faith giving" -- a give-to-get doctrine patented by faith-preaching patriarch Oral Roberts.) Such flip-flops and seemingly short-lived attempts to seek the counsel and accountability of high-profile leaders like Campus Crusade's Bill Bright have left many observers of Hinn's ministry skeptical. Christian Research Institute president Hank Hanegraaff concludes that the only persuasive proof of Hinn's repentance would be his withdrawal of such doctrinally problematic books as Good Morning, Holy Spirit and Lord, I Need a Miracle. As of August, however, Hinn's ministry magazine still advertised the books -- including best-selling Spanish-language print and audio versions.

Now Hinn is seeking ordination by the Assemblies of God (AG), the largest Pentecostal body in the U.S. and formerly home to both Bakker and Swaggart. In June he was interviewed by the 20-man Peninsular Florida district presbytery, a step required for the application to proceed to AG headquarters. The closed-door session was described in a public talk given on June 15 by Pastor Dan Betzer of Ft. Myers, Florida, a member of the district presbytery and the voice of the Revivaltime radio broadcast. Though apprehensive and skeptical at first, Betzer described being caught off guard when, "to my shock, I heard Benny Hinn say, 'My theology has been miserable.'" After grilling Hinn on his doctrinal views, Betzer concluded that the evangelist had answered the panel's theological queries "brilliantly -- and, I believe, sincerely." Betzer told of Hinn's intention to bring his 7,000-member Orlando Christian Center into the AG, one reason being that "he felt it's the movement that God was going to use in the last days."

Even more importantly, said Betzer, Hinn sought AG ordination "to be under godly authority, and to have someone who will love me enough to tell me when I'm off the track." Hinn's application was approved by an overwhelming majority, its ultimate acceptance seeming all but certain. ("It would be a very unusual thing," said Betzer, "for a district presbytery to put their approval on a candidate and not have it approved on the national level.") But the application aroused the concern of a number of AG ministers. According to W.E. Nunnally, a professor at the denomination's Central Bible College in Springfield, Missouri, at least two AG college presidents strenuously objected to Hinn's potential ordination through direct correspondence with headquarters, as did district officials, missionaries, pastors, academics, and lay members. The Assemblies' executive presbytery met on July 26--27. But on the 27th, the syndicated television program Inside Edition ran a follow-up to its March 1993 investigation of Hinn. The new report highlighted apparent contradictions -- including a reversal of Hinn's promises not to preach about money, pronounce crusade-goers healed without full medical verification, or blow on them to make them fall under the Holy Spirit's power. (According to Betzer, Hinn confessed that "God has convicted me of blowing on people, 'cause it's theatrical, and it has no biblical basis whatsoever.")

The next day, a spokesman at AG headquarters stated tersely that "Benny Hinn's application for [ministry] credentials has been put on hold." Hinn made headlines in June when, at his Philadelphia crusade, he declared former heavyweight boxing champion Evander Holyfield healed of the heart problems that cost him his title. Holyfield later told the Philadelphia Inquirer that he believed his heart was totally healed and that he would return to the ring to seek an unprecedented third title. According to a volunteer helping Hinn with security on-stage, Hinn asked crusade-goers for $1,000 to help with costs. When Holyfield raised his hand, Hinn reportedly asked him for $100,000 -- and when the boxer agreed, Hinn pressed him further, asking him to underwrite the entire crusade, to the tune of $250,000. Holyfield acquiesced, and Hinn reportedly prayed that God would enable the pugilist to earn $200 million because of his donation. (Christian Research Institute)"

I NOTICED THE ARTICLE ON THE VENERABLE MR. HINN.

I first saw him on the Trinity Broadcasting Network earing something that looked like a combination between a white stereotypical "Jessssuuuuuuussss robe" and a Roman Catholic priest black-colored cassock worn over it! And the Middle Eastern version of the infamous male Televangelist Pompador hair style.

I started to laugh at the preposterous stories he tells. No way a sane, reasonable person could believe this outrageous fiction! Shouldn't the Bible suffice? Sounds like he is adding more than the jot and the tiddle here. He challenges Ron Hubbard, the king of science fiction who founded his own religion!

Mr. Hinn IS providing a lot of ignorant, well- meaning,functionally illiterate, working poor people the opportunity to live extremely wealthy lives vicariously by sending him their nickles, pennies and dimes.

He promises miracles in return because he was born in ISRAEL. It is just a miracle that people give him all of these money!

So I looked up Mr. Hinn in the Encyclopedia of Pentecostal Preachers which is online. I don't know who is licensing him as a tax-exempt organization after the Assembly of G*d allegedly cut him loose but I doubt if it is the United Pentecostal Church.
And here is what the article says:

TV evangelist for Benny Hinn Ministries on TBN; author of "Good Morning, Holy Spirit" Word of Faith movement, Endorses the "Holy Laughter Movement" of Rodney Howard Browne
(( link removed by ROR))

In a fund-raising telethon (July 1997) for TBN (Trinity Broadcasting Network), Benny Hinn said "Jesus is coming again within the next two years." According to Hinn, "Jesus is coming soon. Rabbis in Jerusalem have told me they are looking for the coming of the Messiah within the next two years." Hinn said, "of course, they are looking for His first coming, but we are looking for His second coming." In his impassioned plea for supporters of TBN to help the financially troubled network (TBN is presently fighting a legal battle with the FCC over a "policy violation"), Hinn added, "we are now standing at the Jordan River, ready to cross over into the promised land."


RABBIS AREN'T LOOKING FOR JESSUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSS,MR. HINN! IT'S 2006. HE AIN'T HERE. GET OVER IT!

"Are you ready for some real revelation knowledge....you are god" (Benny Hinn, Our Position In Christ, tape # AO31190-1)
Benny Hinn claims to actually be a channel for God--that God enters him and takes over his mind and tongue to the point where he is unaware of what he has said. After his sermon on December 31, 1989, at Orlando Christian Center, during which he gave several future prophecies, Hinn expressed that he was drunk--presumably on the Holy Spirit--and asked someone to tell him what he had just said. (Biblical Discernment Ministries - 5/92)

Benny Hinn said: (1) Never, ever, ever go to the Lord and say, 'If it be thy will'; (2) No Christian should ever be sick; (3) We Christians possess 'power in our mouths' to heal or kill just as witches possess it; (4) Job tapped into the negative side of the faith force by a negative confession; (5) Christ 'became one with the nature of Satan' and was 'born again' in hell; (6) Christ would have sinned without the Holy Spirit and would have remained in the grave 'if the Holy Ghost had changed His mind about raising Him from the dead' (7) We are 'little gods' and even part of God with all the power of God; and (8) We are 'little messiahs,' everything that Jesus ever was. (The Berean Call, 1992 Media Spotlight Special Report, Feb 94)

Benny Hinn says that Christians confessing they are a sinner saved by grace only insult God with such garbage (The Toronto Blessing, Stephen Sizer, 1990)

Christians are Little Messiah's and little gods on the earth. Thus [Encouraging the audience]...say I am a God-man....This spirit-man within me is a God-man... say I'm born of heaven-a God-man. I'm a God man. I am a sample of Jesus. I'm a super being. Say it! Say it! Who's a super being? I walk in the realm of the supernatural. Say it!...You want to prosper? Money will be falling on you from left, right and centre. God will begin to prosper you, for money always follows righteousness....Say after me, everything I ever want is in me already. (Benny Hinn, TBN, 1990)
HERESY. PURE AND SIMPLE!

Do you know that every unbeliever is filled with a demon spirit? (Good Morning Holy Spirit, (Benny Hinn, Word, 1991) p.146)

God has 9 parts (tri-theistic). A. God has a body, soul and spirit. B. Jesus has a body, soul and spirit. C. Holy Spirit has a body, soul and spirit. (Benny Hinn, Benny Hinn broadcast, recorded 10/13/90)

Had He (Jesus) not offered Himself through the Holy Ghost, He would not be accepted in the eyes of God the Father. Nor would He have endured the sufferings of the cross. Had He not presented Himself through the Holy Ghost, His blood would not have remained pure and spotless. And let me add this: Had the Holy Spirit not been with Jesus, He would have sinned. (Benny Hinn, Good Morning Holy Spirit, (Word, 1991, p.135)

He [Jesus] who is righteous by choice said, 'The only way I can stop sin is by Me becoming it. I can't just stop it by letting it touch Me; I and it must become one.' Hear this! He who is the nature of God became the nature of Satan where He became sin! (Benny Hinn, TBN, 12/1/90).

He [Jesus] who is righteous by choice said, 'The only way I can stop sin is by Me becoming it. I can't just stop it by letting it touch Me; I and it must become one.' Hear this! He who is the nature of God became the nature of Satan where He became sin! (Benny Hinn, TBN, 12/1/90).

Hinn revealed that he periodically visits (Kathryn) Kuhlman's grave and that he is one of the few with a key to gain access to it. He also visits Aimee McPherson's grave where he says: "I felt a terrific anointing ... I was shaking all over ... trembling under the power of God ... 'Dear God,' I said, 'I feel the anointing.' ... I believe the anointing has lingered over Aimee's body. (Benny Hinn, April 7, 1991 sermon) NECROMANCY IS FORBIDDEN IN JUDAISM. WHAT ABOUT CHRISTIANITY?

I am a 'little messiah' walking the earth (Benny Hinn, Praise-a-Thon on TBN, November 6, 1990).
EQUATES SELF WITH JESUS BOTH BORN IN ISRAEL?

Jesus at His death became one with Satan. (Benny Hinn, Benny Hinn broadcast, recorded 12/15/90)

Poverty comes from Hell. Prosperity comes from Heaven. Adam had complete dominion over the earth and all it contains. A. Adam could fly like a bird. B. Adam could swim underwater and breathe like a fish. Adam went to the moon. Adam walked on water. Adam was a super being, He was the first superman that lived. Adam had dominion over the sun, moon & stars. Christians do not have Christ in their hearts. Sow a big seed, when you confess it, you are activating the supernatural forces of God. (Benny Hinn, Praise-a-thon, TBN, recorded November 1990)

Poverty is from the devil and that God wants all Christians prosperous. (Benny Hinn, TBN, 11/6/90)
the anointing increases. He gives you a little and watches you. Then He gives you more. (Benny Hinn, The Anointing. Nashville: Thomas Nelson. 1992. 81.)

The anointing is dependent upon my words. God will not move unless I say it. Why? because He has made us co-workers with Him. He set things up that way. (Benny Hinn, The Anointing. Nashville: Thomas Nelson. 1992. 82.) GET THE BUTTERFLY NET. THIS CHARLTAN PRESUMES TO GIVE ORDER TO GOD!

Though we are not Almighty God Himself, nevertheless, we are now divine (Benny Hinn, 12/1/90, TBN)

Wants to use Holy Ghost machine gun to kill Heresy Hunters. (Benny Hinn, Praise-a-thon (TBN), 11/8/90)

What does God the Father look like? Although I've never seen Him, I believe - as with the Holy Spirit - He looks like Jesus looked on earth. (Benny Hinn, Good Morning Holy Spirit, Word, 1991, p.87)

What was the appearance of God the Father? Like that of a man...God has the likeness of fingers and hands and a face. (Good Morning Holy Spirit, (Benny Hinn, Word, 1991) p. 82)

When you don't give money, it shows that you have the devil's nature. (Benny Hinn, Praise-a-thon (TBN), recorded 4/21/91)
WHAT A RACKET! THE DEVIL DOESN'T GIVE TO MR.HINN> SMART DEVIL.

(Though he sometimes ridicules positive confession with remarks like, "It's faith, faith, faith, and no Jesus anywhere!" Hinn now promotes an aspect of prosperity teaching known as "seed-faith giving" -- a give-to-get doctrine patented by faith-preaching patriarch Oral Roberts.) Such flip-flops and seemingly short-lived attempts to seek the counsel and accountability of high-profile leaders like Campus Crusade's Bill Bright have left many observers of Hinn's ministry skeptical. Christian Research Institute president Hank Hanegraaff concludes that the only persuasive proof of Hinn's repentance would be his withdrawal of such doctrinally problematic books as Good Morning, Holy Spirit and Lord, I Need a Miracle. As of August, however, Hinn's ministry magazine still advertised the books -- including best-selling Spanish-language print and audio versions.

Now Hinn is seeking ordination by the Assemblies of God (AG), the largest Pentecostal body in the U.S. and formerly home to both Bakker and Swaggart. In June he was interviewed by the 20-man Peninsular Florida district presbytery, a step required for the application to proceed to AG headquarters. The closed-door session was described in a public talk given on June 15 by Pastor Dan Betzer of Ft. Myers, Florida, a member of the district presbytery and the voice of the Revivaltime radio broadcast. Though apprehensive and skeptical at first, Betzer described being caught off guard when, "to my shock, I heard Benny Hinn say, 'My theology has been miserable.'" After grilling Hinn on his doctrinal views, Betzer concluded that the evangelist had answered the panel's theological queries "brilliantly -- and, I believe, sincerely." Betzer told of Hinn's intention to bring his 7,000-member Orlando Christian Center into the AG, one reason being that "he felt it's the movement that God was going to use in the last days."

Even more importantly, said Betzer, Hinn sought AG ordination "to be under godly authority, and to have someone who will love me enough to tell me when I'm off the track." Hinn's application was approved by an overwhelming majority, its ultimate acceptance seeming all but certain. ("It would be a very unusual thing," said Betzer, "for a district presbytery to put their approval on a candidate and not have it approved on the national level.") But the application aroused the concern of a number of AG ministers. According to W.E. Nunnally, a professor at the denomination's Central Bible College in Springfield, Missouri, at least two AG college presidents strenuously objected to Hinn's potential ordination through direct correspondence with headquarters, as did district officials, missionaries, pastors, academics, and lay members. The Assemblies' executive presbytery met on July 26--27. But on the 27th, the syndicated television program Inside Edition ran a follow-up to its March 1993 investigation of Hinn. The new report highlighted apparent contradictions -- including a reversal of Hinn's promises not to preach about money, pronounce crusade-goers healed without full medical verification, or blow on them to make them fall under the Holy Spirit's power. (According to Betzer, Hinn confessed that "God has convicted me of blowing on people, 'cause it's theatrical, and it has no biblical basis whatsoever.")

The next day, a spokesman at AG headquarters stated tersely that "Benny Hinn's application for [ministry] credentials has been put on hold." Hinn made headlines in June when, at his Philadelphia crusade, he declared former heavyweight boxing champion Evander Holyfield healed of the heart problems that cost him his title. Holyfield later told the Philadelphia Inquirer that he believed his heart was totally healed and that he would return to the ring to seek an unprecedented third title. According to a volunteer helping Hinn with security on-stage, Hinn asked crusade-goers for $1,000 to help with costs. When Holyfield raised his hand, Hinn reportedly asked him for $100,000 -- and when the boxer agreed, Hinn pressed him further, asking him to underwrite the entire crusade, to the tune of $250,000. Holyfield acquiesced, and Hinn reportedly prayed that God would enable the pugilist to earn $200 million because of his donation. (Christian Research Institute)"

I NOTICED THE ARTICLE ON THE VENERABLE MR. HINN.

I first saw him on the Trinity Broadcasting Network earing something that looked like a combination between a white stereotypical "Jessssuuuuuuussss robe" and a Roman Catholic priest black-colored cassock worn over it! And the Middle Eastern version of the infamous male Televangelist Pompador hair style.

I started to laugh at the preposterous stories he tells. No way a sane, reasonable person could believe this outrageous fiction! Shouldn't the Bible suffice? Sounds like he is adding more than the jot and the tiddle here. He challenges Ron Hubbard, the king of science fiction who founded his own religion!

Mr. Hinn IS providing a lot of ignorant, well- meaning,functionally illiterate, working poor people the opportunity to live extremely wealthy lives vicariously by sending him their nickles, pennies and dimes.

He promises miracles in return because he was born in ISRAEL. It is just a miracle that people give him all of these money!

So I looked up Mr. Hinn in the Encyclopedia of Pentecostal Preachers which is online. I don't know who is licensing him as a tax-exempt organization after the Assembly of G*d allegedly cut him loose but I doubt if it is the United Pentecostal Church.
And here is what the article says:

TV evangelist for Benny Hinn Ministries on TBN; author of "Good Morning, Holy Spirit" Word of Faith movement, Endorses the "Holy Laughter Movement" of Rodney Howard Browne
(( link removed by ROR))

In a fund-raising telethon (July 1997) for TBN (Trinity Broadcasting Network), Benny Hinn said "Jesus is coming again within the next two years." According to Hinn, "Jesus is coming soon. Rabbis in Jerusalem have told me they are looking for the coming of the Messiah within the next two years." Hinn said, "of course, they are looking for His first coming, but we are looking for His second coming." In his impassioned plea for supporters of TBN to help the financially troubled network (TBN is presently fighting a legal battle with the FCC over a "policy violation"), Hinn added, "we are now standing at the Jordan River, ready to cross over into the promised land."


RABBIS AREN'T LOOKING FOR JESSUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSS,MR. HINN! IT'S 2006. HE AIN'T HERE. GET OVER IT!

"Are you ready for some real revelation knowledge....you are god" (Benny Hinn, Our Position In Christ, tape # AO31190-1)
Benny Hinn claims to actually be a channel for God--that God enters him and takes over his mind and tongue to the point where he is unaware of what he has said. After his sermon on December 31, 1989, at Orlando Christian Center, during which he gave several future prophecies, Hinn expressed that he was drunk--presumably on the Holy Spirit--and asked someone to tell him what he had just said. (Biblical Discernment Ministries - 5/92)

Benny Hinn said: (1) Never, ever, ever go to the Lord and say, 'If it be thy will'; (2) No Christian should ever be sick; (3) We Christians possess 'power in our mouths' to heal or kill just as witches possess it; (4) Job tapped into the negative side of the faith force by a negative confession; (5) Christ 'became one with the nature of Satan' and was 'born again' in hell; (6) Christ would have sinned without the Holy Spirit and would have remained in the grave 'if the Holy Ghost had changed His mind about raising Him from the dead' (7) We are 'little gods' and even part of God with all the power of God; and (8) We are 'little messiahs,' everything that Jesus ever was. (The Berean Call, 1992 Media Spotlight Special Report, Feb 94)

Benny Hinn says that Christians confessing they are a sinner saved by grace only insult God with such garbage (The Toronto Blessing, Stephen Sizer, 1990)

Christians are Little Messiah's and little gods on the earth. Thus [Encouraging the audience]...say I am a God-man....This spirit-man within me is a God-man... say I'm born of heaven-a God-man. I'm a God man. I am a sample of Jesus. I'm a super being. Say it! Say it! Who's a super being? I walk in the realm of the supernatural. Say it!...You want to prosper? Money will be falling on you from left, right and centre. God will begin to prosper you, for money always follows righteousness....Say after me, everything I ever want is in me already. (Benny Hinn, TBN, 1990)
HERESY. PURE AND SIMPLE!

Do you know that every unbeliever is filled with a demon spirit? (Good Morning Holy Spirit, (Benny Hinn, Word, 1991) p.146)

God has 9 parts (tri-theistic). A. God has a body, soul and spirit. B. Jesus has a body, soul and spirit. C. Holy Spirit has a body, soul and spirit. (Benny Hinn, Benny Hinn broadcast, recorded 10/13/90)

Had He (Jesus) not offered Himself through the Holy Ghost, He would not be accepted in the eyes of God the Father. Nor would He have endured the sufferings of the cross. Had He not presented Himself through the Holy Ghost, His blood would not have remained pure and spotless. And let me add this: Had the Holy Spirit not been with Jesus, He would have sinned. (Benny Hinn, Good Morning Holy Spirit, (Word, 1991, p.135)

He [Jesus] who is righteous by choice said, 'The only way I can stop sin is by Me becoming it. I can't just stop it by letting it touch Me; I and it must become one.' Hear this! He who is the nature of God became the nature of Satan where He became sin! (Benny Hinn, TBN, 12/1/90).

He [Jesus] who is righteous by choice said, 'The only way I can stop sin is by Me becoming it. I can't just stop it by letting it touch Me; I and it must become one.' Hear this! He who is the nature of God became the nature of Satan where He became sin! (Benny Hinn, TBN, 12/1/90).

Hinn revealed that he periodically visits (Kathryn) Kuhlman's grave and that he is one of the few with a key to gain access to it. He also visits Aimee McPherson's grave where he says: "I felt a terrific anointing ... I was shaking all over ... trembling under the power of God ... 'Dear God,' I said, 'I feel the anointing.' ... I believe the anointing has lingered over Aimee's body. (Benny Hinn, April 7, 1991 sermon) NECROMANCY IS FORBIDDEN IN JUDAISM. WHAT ABOUT CHRISTIANITY?

I am a 'little messiah' walking the earth (Benny Hinn, Praise-a-Thon on TBN, November 6, 1990).
EQUATES SELF WITH JESUS BOTH BORN IN ISRAEL?

Jesus at His death became one with Satan. (Benny Hinn, Benny Hinn broadcast, recorded 12/15/90)

Poverty comes from Hell. Prosperity comes from Heaven. Adam had complete dominion over the earth and all it contains. A. Adam could fly like a bird. B. Adam could swim underwater and breathe like a fish. Adam went to the moon. Adam walked on water. Adam was a super being, He was the first superman that lived. Adam had dominion over the sun, moon & stars. Christians do not have Christ in their hearts. Sow a big seed, when you confess it, you are activating the supernatural forces of God. (Benny Hinn, Praise-a-thon, TBN, recorded November 1990)

Poverty is from the devil and that God wants all Christians prosperous. (Benny Hinn, TBN, 11/6/90)
the anointing increases. He gives you a little and watches you. Then He gives you more. (Benny Hinn, The Anointing. Nashville: Thomas Nelson. 1992. 81.)

The anointing is dependent upon my words. God will not move unless I say it. Why? because He has made us co-workers with Him. He set things up that way. (Benny Hinn, The Anointing. Nashville: Thomas Nelson. 1992. 82.) GET THE BUTTERFLY NET. THIS CHARLTAN PRESUMES TO GIVE ORDER TO GOD!

Though we are not Almighty God Himself, nevertheless, we are now divine (Benny Hinn, 12/1/90, TBN)

Wants to use Holy Ghost machine gun to kill Heresy Hunters. (Benny Hinn, Praise-a-thon (TBN), 11/8/90)

What does God the Father look like? Although I've never seen Him, I believe - as with the Holy Spirit - He looks like Jesus looked on earth. (Benny Hinn, Good Morning Holy Spirit, Word, 1991, p.87)

What was the appearance of God the Father? Like that of a man...God has the likeness of fingers and hands and a face. (Good Morning Holy Spirit, (Benny Hinn, Word, 1991) p. 82)

When you don't give money, it shows that you have the devil's nature. (Benny Hinn, Praise-a-thon (TBN), recorded 4/21/91)
WHAT A RACKET! THE DEVIL DOESN'T GIVE TO MR.HINN> SMART DEVIL.

You are a little god on earth running around. (Benny Hinn, Praise-a-thon broadcast on TBN, November, 1990)

You have so much today that is pure flesh, yet people have labeled it as the Spirit. It's not the Spirit, because it's not centered on Christ. It's pure emotionalism. Some of what is happening today, some of these manifestations where people are barking, making sounds of animals - I can tell you, that is not the Holy Spirit. It is purely demonic. The Holy Ghost does not bark. Only a devil barks. If somebody barks in my meeting, I'll cast the devil out of that man." (Benny Hinn Condemns Toronto Blessing/Pensacola Phenomena Praise The Lord July 4, 1997 videotape transcript) MY DOG IS A DEVIL.WOOF WOOF.

You watching TBN here. If you're doing such nonsense, get back to the Bible. And don't you dare experiment with what is not Scriptural, checking out if God is in it. My brother, if it's not in the Bible, He's not in it!! If it's not in the Word of God, He is not in it. (Benny Hinn Condemns Toronto Blessing/Pensacola Phenomena Praise The Lord July 4, 1997 videotape transcript) WHO IS HE?

Benny Hinn was not kicked out of the A/G ( Assembly of God) bcause he was seen, photographed , and filmed with Paul & Jan Crouch sipping wine at a seaside restaurant in CA. In fact, the A/G allowed Him in knowing how he is and were in hopes of providing oversight, help, and accountability to straighten out some of the theological and ethical problems. J. Don George of Calvary Temple A/G in Irving TX serves on his board along with a lawyer from his church.

In late 1994, Hinn was introduced into the A/G by Brother George Wood. I received this report from Keith Craft of Strike Force who claimed to be Wood's son-n-law. I was encouraged by Craft to embrace the Hinn experience, that Hinn's acceptance by the A/G would be positive.

Hinn was seeking 'cover' after stumbling over his understanding of the number of Persons in the Godhead and the number of the Gifts.

The excesses (antics) of his crusades were also brought into question by Charisma editor in August 1993.

Hinn needed cover and teaching, yet He continues as always.

The excuse for departure I received was that Hinn felt restricted within the A/G, that he wasn't free to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit, so he left of his own volition...

In the Public Health field, the carrier of a disease is called a 'vector'. If anything, Hinn seems to be a vector of the delusion that God is pouring out so that people who refuse to believe the Truth will continue to believe the counter or lie and so condemn themselves (2 Thess. 2).
Dave Hunt's CIB Bulletin for February 1992: Benny Hinn

Give no less than $100, he exhorts an audience, and promises to lay hands on all the envelopes and ask God for financial miracles for the givers. Praying at Kuhlman's grave: The secret to Hinn's power is his peculiar anointing, which he connects with Kathryn Kuhlman and Aimee McPherson, founder of the Foursquare Gospel Church. He first felt the full power of the Holy Spirit on him at a Kuhlman healing service in 1973 -- and her mantle has presumably fallen upon Hinn. He conducts his meetings almost exactly like hers -- though it takes Hinn much longer to get his audience into the expectant mood that seems to generate psychosomatic miracles. In an April 7, 1991 sermon, Hinn revealed that he periodically visits Kuhlman's grave and that he is one of the few with a key to gain access to it. He also visits Aimee's grave, where he says: I felt a terrific anointing ... I was shaking all over ... trembling under the power of God ... 'Dear God,' I said, 'I feel the anointing.' ... I believe the anointing has lingered over Aimee's body.

Winded catchers try to keep up with the toppling bodies. He rears back and with a pitching motion slays the entire choir with one toss. That's power, yells Benny. POWER! ...
HITLER WAS ALL ABOUT POWER TOO.

Hinn takes off his custom tailored jacket and rubs it briskly on his body. He is rubbing the Power into the jacket. Then he starts swinging it wildly, like the biblical David swinging his sling. He decks his followers left and right. Bam! Bam! Bam! The stage vibrates with their landings. Then he throws it [the anointed jacket]. Another bam. As a catcher moves to pick up a woman, Hinn slays him ... then he slays the catcher who caught the catcher. When Benny Hinn is moved, nobody is safe from the Power ... [H]e blows loudly into the microphone ... Hundreds fall backward ... a woman collapses in the aisle and begins to babble. And then, suddenly, Benny is gone. The power vanishes from the room, and the people stare in stunned silence. This aspect alone of Hinn's meetings is enough to condemn him. He capriciously throws the Holy Spirit around in most irreverent fashion, using the third Person of the Trinity as his servant to attract attention to himself. Hinn acts as though the anointing is some metaphysical power at his disposal, to be rubbed off onto objects. It looks impressive, works largely by the power of suggestion, but has no purpose except to make people stand in awe of Hinn. It's scary, says Bill James, a former church member. The people are mesmerized. ...When he comes out, he's like God. (Mike Thomas reported in Florida Magazine, Nov. 24, 1991)


He looks like a Ralph Lauren advertisement, a true gentleman of leisure. As always, his hair is sprayed solidly in place. I don't know if you'll ever [again] see a reverend without socks, he says proudly. [He's wearing no socks.] That's the way I am. I'm more down to earth than most people." This comes from a man who just turned in his Mercedes for a Jaguar and recently moved from the exclusive Heathrow development to the even more exclusive Alaqua, where he now lives in a $685,000 home. His suits are tailored, his shoes are Italian leather, and his wrists and finger glitter with gold and diamonds ... what he considers a modest lifestyle, as if everyone lives like this. He wears his diamond Rolex, diamond rings, gold bracelet and custom suits for all to see. ...What's the big deal, for goodness sake? he says. What am I supposed to do, drive a Honda? ...That's not in the Bible. ... I'm sick and tired about hearing about streets of gold [in heaven]. I don't need gold in heaven. I got to have it now. (Mike Thomas's impression of a visit with Hinn, Florida Magazine, Nov. 24, 1991)
Benny declares: I have received a new mandate from heaven -- bring the message of the miraculous, healing power of God back to America! Invade our nation with the miracle-working power of God in the '90s! He claims that about 1,000 people are healed at each miracle service. But as Thomas reported, Despite all the thousands of miracles claimed by Hinn, the church seems hard pressed to come up with any that would convince a serious skeptic. ... When pressed for truly convincing miracles, [Hinn spokesperson] Susan Smith cited a woman in Orlando who was cured of blindness caused by diabetes. But she would not give the woman's name. She later admitted that the woman's vision may still be cloudy. 'She still has diabetes, strangely ... [and] was just re-hospitalized.
People of God, shouts Benny, we must never speak such faith-destroying words as these: 'If it be thy will, Lord.' ... I am Him [Jesus]! The Word has become flesh in Meee! ...You are a little god on earth! His other heresies include the teaching that God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit each has a body, soul and spirit. There's nine of them! he told his congregation by revelation knowledge, but probably got the idea from Dake's Annotated Reference Bible, where this ancient heresy was revived on page 55. Hinn taught the same heresy as Hagin and Copeland, that when Jesus died on the cross He sank into hell and took upon him the nature of Satan and was tortured by Satan for our redemption. Then early in 1991 he repudiated this teaching along with other Word- Faith peculiar doctrines. Yet he had taught it as revelation knowledge. God's revelations don't change.
You know, I've looked for one verse in the Bible -- I just can't seem to find it -- one verse that says, 'If you don't like 'em, kill 'em.'' I really wish I could find it! ...Sometimes I wish God would give me a Holy Ghost machine gun. I'd blow your head off! The TBN studio audience loudly applauded those gracious words from the man of God. (directed at his critics) (Dave Hunt, Signs of the Times, CIB Bulletin, Jan. 1992)
Christian Research Institute review:

According to the monthly newsletter Religion Watch (RW), "since 1991 a new generation of televangelist preachers has clearly come into the ascendancy, suggesting where electronic media ministry will be headed....The new generation of televangelists [is] achieving prominence largely through the highly aggressive leadership of Trinity Broadcasting Network." At the top of RW's list: Benny Hinn. To his credit, Hinn has seemingly avoided the seamier temptations of stardom that have brought earlier televangelists to ruin. And despite his wild popularity, there is evidence that Hinn is on a quest for credibility -- one that he himself repeatedly frustrates by his inconsistencies. Again and again, Hinn's speculative, sometimes baffling theology and flamboyant crusade performances have drawn sharp attacks from evangelical leaders; repeatedly, Hinn has recanted, attempted to clarify his views, or sought to justify his actions. At least three times in as many years, Hinn has abandoned some aspect of the Faith doctrine -- once calling it "cultic" and "wrong" -- only to wander back. (Though he sometimes ridicules positive confession with remarks like, "It's faith, faith, faith, and no Jesus anywhere!" Hinn now promotes an aspect of prosperity teaching known as "seed-faith giving" -- a give-to-get doctrine patented by faith-preaching patriarch Oral Roberts.) Such flip-flops and seemingly short-lived attempts to seek the counsel and accountability of high-profile leaders like Campus Crusade's Bill Bright have left many observers of Hinn's ministry skeptical.
