Oops, wrong Benny.
In the interest of fairness---before people start their usual Hinn-bashing---perhaps it is worth noting that some in the Janata party have called for a return to "sutee," or ritual wife-burning (mandated) when the husband dies. So progressive, those Indians.
As much as I dislike (and distrust) Benny Hinn, I don't think he is stupid enough to make such a claim. I think he gives God credit for the power.
If Benny Hinn can convert these 3rd world and Muslim countries of there ritual jihad hate agaisnt Christians and Jews to understand the Gospel Message of Jesus Christ I am 100% for that.
He never says he has any power he does give all credit of healings to Jesus Christ. If he claimed he did it, he would be a witch doctor who would be in his house with a few following his cult...
Hinn's last programme in Mumbai was easily the biggest ever he has ever organised in his own words- with millions attending on the 3 days.The funny thing is that these same folks in the BJP couldn't say a thing last time around as Hinn infact got a nod of approval from Bal Thackeray,a rather peculiar leader who mixes extreme regional chauvenism with Hindu identity politics & who is a strong ally of the BJP.Nothing happens in Mumbai without Thackeray knowing & since he gave the go ahead,the show went on smoothly.& mind you,the Mumbai meeting was held when a BJP led coalition headed the central government.
Heh, well this is one more nation that does not practice and encourage the dissolution of its own culture under the rubric of 'multiculturalism', nope, not even 'democratic' India.
Does anyone outside of Western nations engage in this self erasure?
Which 'Janata' party (I assume you are referring to the Bharatiya Janata Party)leader has called for a return to "Sutee"? Please cite names and places, in fact any details that you may have.
Yes and there wasn't any Hindu backlash from what I recall?
ru referring to the Bharitiya Janata party or the Janata party??both are worlds apart.One relies on Hindu identity(or cultural nationalism or whatever they say!!) while the 2nd one started out as a motley grouping of disgruntled centrist politicians & socialists.
Sickness and death face us all. I just wish Hinn would focus on the damnation of one's soul.
MSM once again playing loose with facts, as Mr. Hinn lives in Calif. and give the credit to Someone Else for the power to heal.
As am I.
Nope-none to my knowledge.Infact I remember a Mumbai publication(the Midday,IIRC) saying that more Hindus came to those meetings out of pure curiosity.
What the BJP is engaging in this particular state has less to do with religion or conversion than with politics.They are out of power in Delhi & came close to forming the government in Karnataka,but couldn't form a coalition.They are somehow trying to create a polarising issue to yield political benefits,but it remains to be seen how far it will be effective.Most Indian are tired of religious or secular bigotry.
Hinn is an heretic and a fraud.
Let me know when he goes into children's cancer wards and burn units and lays on some of that 'healing.'
Exactly, I thought this was more political rather than religious, I rememeber hearing he had great success with the hindu population on his last visit there. One wonders if the Political Climate from the Tsunami Releif Workers has to do with a Huge Conversion Fear all over the region.
I thought "his ministry" was based in TX?
Best he watch his back. They kill for less reason than that over there.
