Large demons that smell like burning sulfur and you don't want your televangelist surrounded by that!

Critics accuse Hinn of using

 jet for personal vacations
 funded by tax-free donations

 Agreed. But he’s got a ways to go to catch up to Mike “Send Me All Your Money” Murdock.

Naw, Benny Hinn's blessed healing pimp slap can reach at least 8 feet further than you think you can see.

For his sake and the sake of a lot of people he has mislead, I hope he’s sincere.

Question for the osteen haters:

If he takes nothing from the offering plate and keeps only the money from books,CD’s,stadium appearances,etc. and he gives ten of millions to minister to the poor, then isn’t he allowed to live well after giving 10% to God?

Must he remain middle class to earn your respect?
You guys sound a little bit like jealous democrats.

“”The more you know the Bible the more you become biblically based and more balanced in your opinions and your thoughts because we are influenced. When I was younger I was influenced by the preachers who taught whatever they taught. But as I’ve lived longer I’m thinking wait a minute, you know this doesn’t fit totally with the Bible and it doesn’t fit with the reality.”

Yeah, Benny, it would be better if you study the Bible BEFORE you become a preacher. These things work out better if you take them in order.

Only one of Joel Osteen's humble middle class abodes.

In River Oaks. Houston's most prestigious neighborhood.

That’s what I’m asking: He can’t live rich if he reaches millions of people and gives 10% to God and give the entire offering plate to the poor?

For example: If he takes in 100 million/year you don’t think he should be able to keep even 2%?

He’s the pastor people are choosing to support.

What worse to u: A pastor who brings in a million/yr and keeps 10% or a pastor who brings in 150 million/yr and keeps 2%?

You have no insight as to how many times I've read through the Bible nor the theological degree I hold. Your idol, Mr. Hinn is a heretic and a blight on the church. He is exactly what Paul warned against.

His apology doesn't even pass as repentance. "Might having gone a bit too far" isn't cutting it. Anyone who knowingly and unrepentantly sins, is not showing the fruit of being a Christian.

My salvation is based on Christ alone and his finished work on the cross, so I don't know what Bible you are reading from. Keeping the Commandments? Do you not know that they are impossible to keep, therefore Christ is necessary for all to believe and rely on? That is Christianity 101. If you fail that test, you are by definition, not a Christian, no matter what you hope and think you are.

No doubt you are sincere, but you are sincerely wrong.

“In 2015, Hinn was hospitalized with atrial fibrillation, an issue he said he has been dealing with for more than 20 years.”

Faith healer, heal thyself?

I don’t care how rich he is. I’m more concerned about his inability to testify that Jesus Christ is the only path to salvation when he was interviewed on nationwide television.

When you stand before Jesus to get your reward, the standard you are applying to the works of others will be applied to you.

You'd think with their millions, Hinn or Osteen could go to Divinity School and even afford the best tutoring to get through it.

Neither have. Osteen dropped out of Oral Roberts where he was studying radio and tv communications and went to work for his fathers ministry.

Osteen's father who founded the Lakewood Church actually had a Doctor of Divinity from Oral Roberts.When he dropped dead, Joel appointed himself senior minister.

Ahhh so under that rubric, everything is good.

No thanks. God gave us the mind of Christ via the Bible in which we discern and judge all things. Hinn is a heretic.

Benny Hinn sets his faith healing to Yakety Sax. He’s okay in my book.
