mulls Posted July 16, 2003 Posted July 16, 2003 i would every night if it were shown here. he's great. I would want to be one of those people that he pays to act like they get healed...I would go into convulsions after he layed hands on me, then do a gymnastics routine, then breakdance, and pass out. where i'm at there's this guy who's just as fruity...and he even offers miracle spring water! this is water that he got from the Chernoble disaster site, where he was led by God to go and collect water, and he offers it to you for free if you donate to his ministry. televangelism is great comedy...unfortunately too many people take it seriously. it's really a shame.
dUSt Posted July 16, 2003 Author Posted July 16, 2003 I saw the guy who offers "Miracle Spring Water". It comes in one of those tiny plastic twisty top things, and it actually has the words "Miracle Spring Water" printed on it. I'd donate thousands for one of those.
MC Just Posted July 16, 2003 Posted July 16, 2003 Benny Hinn is Diabolical. He makes people have convulsions and Seizures on stage and tells them it's the Holy spirit..... He's a false prophet as is the rest of the Tbn crew.
Kilroy the Ninja Posted July 16, 2003 Posted July 16, 2003 Yeah, but they do make for great comic relief.
Joyful Posted July 16, 2003 Posted July 16, 2003 So if there was a Catholic who did the same things as Benny Hinn would you all believe it? Just curious. Why is he diabolical? I don't know much about him. I've only seen him once or twice just flippin' through the channels.
MC Just Posted July 16, 2003 Posted July 16, 2003 The guy puts these kids on stage one time and starts praying over them aloud, all of the sudden the kids start shaking violently and falling to the floor looking like there in massive pain and crying foaming from the mouth and all. That dude was hurtng these children. I seen this on Tbn. The guy also threatens people saying God won't heal them if they don't send Tbn Money.
MC Just Posted July 16, 2003 Posted July 16, 2003 Here's a page I found on him, it's not Catholic but it's interesting. http://cnview.com/on_line_resources/the_co..._benny_hinn.htm
Winchester Posted July 16, 2003 Posted July 16, 2003 Ya'll can laugh, but when I was away from the Church, Oral Roberts came to Houston and I went to see him, because I'd watched him preach on TV and felt pretty moved by it. He's a great speaker. He did one of those faith healing things, called two people up. One was an old lady in a walker. I'm telling you, she wasn't acting. She obviously had advanced ostepourosis, and it hurt to watch her. You could see the pain in her face on the screens they used to let us in the cheap seats see things, but she lit up when Oral hugged her. I think he really felt love for her. She told him she hadn't walked on her own for ten years, and she was in constant pain. The old man was pretty spry looking, but when he spoke, you could barely understand his words. A birth defect (I guess a cleft palate or something) made him lisp and slur his words. He looked extremely embarrassed, but Oral Roberts made him feel better. You could see that. The man, whatever faults he may have, treated this man like a real person, no pity or contempt. He told us all we were going to pray to heal them, and sent them behind some screen they'd set up. I guess for dramatic effect. Everyone held out their hands, something I still think is goofy. I went ahead and did it, but felt pretty stupid. When we were done, Oral told Mrs. Smith (really her name. I kid you not!) to throw her walker over the partition. I almost fell out when it came over. Then he told the old man to say something. The whole place got quiet, and that's something inside the Astrodome. Mithuth Thmiff fewwll down." He slurred. I'm going straight to Hell for that one.

Wow...you still perfecting the art of sarcasm mr. webmaster sir?
Katholikos Posted July 16, 2003 Posted July 16, 2003 ABC's 20/20 dedicated an entire program to Benny Hinn recently. There's only one word to say about him: F-R-A-U-D. Do a search under Benny Hinn. You'll find it enlightening.
Kilroy the Ninja Posted July 16, 2003 Posted July 16, 2003 (edited) I do believe Mr. Hinn took his name from Mr. Hill.... If for no other reason that to be somewhat recognized. Either that or Hill was his hero... Edited July 16, 2003 by Kilroy the Ninja
Anna Posted July 16, 2003 Posted July 16, 2003 Winchester, PLEASE: Don't ever change. Pax Christi. <><
IcePrincessKRS Posted July 16, 2003 Posted July 16, 2003 Winchester, PLEASE: Don't ever change. Pax Christi. <>< lol I second that... I'm laughing so hard right now...
Brother Adam Posted July 17, 2003 Posted July 17, 2003 Binny Hinn is scary stuff. I really wouldn't make fun of it, cause the sad fact is- people very well probably are going to hell because of his work.
Paladin D Posted July 17, 2003 Posted July 17, 2003 (edited) I would really be interested in reading an artical about Benny Hinn by a Priest or something. Always was interested in some of the clergy's view about him. I would like to add my personal expierence at a...yes...a Benny Hinn Crusade (last year in Charolette). On the final day of the Crusade later that night, he called all the youth down (including me and my brothers) to be "filled" with the Holy Ghost. Ignorant at the time, I thought this would be just a blessing from God. Well all the youth went down before the stage and as we waited, he took a few moments to concentrate and flung his hand. I can tell you, I did fall down. I wasn't payed before hand and I was totally unprepared on what was about to happen. It felt as if, I was "floating" down to the ground. When others fell on my legs I didn't feel any pain, just pressure. I don't know what it could've been, but it could or could not have been the Holy Spirit. I'm just confused.

hyperdulia again Posted July 17, 2003 Posted July 17, 2003 Why would God the Holy Spirit want to knock people down?
mulls Posted July 17, 2003 Posted July 17, 2003 uh oh, Bro. you made the mistake of stating the fact that certain people are going to hell. i've learned that is forbidden by Catholics. we are not to judge people, even though we've been warned that we may very well be going to hell for not being Catholic. yikes.
