Benny Hinn: Let the Bodies Hit the Floor

[Armor of God]

Benny Hinn is certinally one I do not recommend anybody watch. His theology is not sound.

As someone else here already pointed out, you need to be very weary of these TV pastors. I'm not going to start a bashing list here but I would confidently say that 50% of the pastors on TV are teaching heresy and should be avoided.

There are some very good pastors on TV along side some very bad ones. Keep grounded to the word and you can quickly separate the wheat from the chaff.

Only 50%, your being generous.

In truth...I feel more and more churches are for show rather than for Holy Spirit. Then....I cannot really play judge and jury. So my guess is as good as anyone else's. When it comes to pastors such as Benny Hinn...prayer is strongly encouraged.

LOL. That video was really funny. I'm going to search for more youtube videos like that. I think the audience fell down because maybe he had surprise trap doors under them. :D I hope that fat guy who fell down and quivered did not get a concussion.

Ugh. Gross. Sick, sick, sick. I have a really perverse sense of humor and of course it's right up my ally, but I also feel like I'm witnessing a serious a crime taking place. This guy should be the one giving Obama's invocation...he can fill the Cabinet with some holy spirit and anoint Hillary Clinton.

I think that true followers of Jesus Christ are sometimes given the "power" to identify false teachers on sight. I'm a reletively new Christian, but he makes me fell like my stomach is rotting out.

Blech.

:gah

I found it best not to put our mouth on another Brothers in Christ.

Brother Hinn as I am sure has made lots of mistakes, but I would rather find all the good things he has accomplished and pray for him on the rest.

Jesus Is Lord.

Good things, such as telling people they have been cured of HIV, potentially setting them up to spread it to others?

Or, telling people their heart conditions are cured, and they proceed to throw away all of their medication without checking with a doctor?

Who knows how many people may have died or become sick based on believing in this man.

Many follow-ups have been done with the "cured" people, and they were just as sick as before they went to see him. What if they didn't see a doctor, and stopped their medication and died?

There are also stories of heroine use within his close circle of people, him making fun of the people who give their last $5 to him, his lavish $3,000 a night hotel rooms (which is funded by many people's last $5).

I agree with you on the first part about disease, but disagree with the second part since the medical establishment is as big of a sham as Benny Hinn is. Any drug prescribed to lower numbers is basically worthless. This goes triple for cholesterol medications---- the biggest greedy and perhaps demonic ripoffs that Big Pharma has going to the generally majority of gullible people out there who "thinks" its saving their lives.

 

[VaultZero4Me]

I agree that their are some medications that do not do what they are promised, but the whole industry is not a sham.

I worked in home health care for many years, and have much exposure to patients taking their meds and the ones who did not.

The ones who took their meds typically lived longer and healthier lives.

THeir are some serious flaws in the Rx industry, but to call it all a sham is a bit of a stretch.

I believe in faith healing, but not in Hinn's "power". The guy is a fraud, and I agree with you Vault & Tim, many drugs are worthless and cause more harm than good, but many really do help.

Maybe something like antibiotics which was originally a natural substance based on bread mold. I'll take them if I am really sick, which is rarely (like on the order of many years at a time)considering the gigadoses of vitamins I take. I trust them long before drugs. But there's some vitamins or herbs that can do much better than meds as I flushed down my BP meds several years back because I suspected they were causing a dangerous imbalance and did the herbs instead. My BP's normal now. Of course I live in the days yet when I believe the lower number is more important and 70-90 and 110-140 is normal. The medical establishment dummied down the cholesterol and BP numbers (from 300 and 120/80 respectively) so that nobody passes and gets everyone on drugs. I'm glad I was delivered and threw them out. Some people are still so blind, however.

I agree with you Tim, I'll take a natural cure first any time.

I do not feel that only natural medicines work.

My uncle takes medicine for schizophrenia and it helps him greatly. When he goes through spells of not wanting to take them, and only pretending to swallow, his condition worsens and at times had to be hospitalized for his behavior.

I have a close friend who is bi-polar. When she does not take her medications, her disorder gets out of control.

I take heartburn medication, it alleviates my symptoms.

There is good science behind many of these prescriptions.

Sure, I am not going to be naive and think there isn't corruption in this mega-industry. but there is a large benefit from these drugs, from the minor heartburn medication, to preventing conditions such as malaria.

As for vitamins, I have read many studies on them, and I have not found many clinical-long term trials (the same type that Rx drugs go through) that found them to be very beneficial.

In some of these clinical trials, some vitamins were found to be potentially harmful.

I do not take vitamins. I do try to eat fruits and vegetables that contain vitamins and minerals, over processed foods (key word is "try" )

.

I stopped that cold when the GI doctor told me I was getting stomach polyps and checked for cancer that I did not have before taking the pills (I took them for awhile to prove a point which was unquestionably validated to my satisfaction, ie. that such drugs in the long run are worse than the malady). The Internet said that they can cause such things---- not to mention iron and B12 deficiency which causes a whole host of other problems so that they can drug one more. Just to be a rebel, I now take something like 16,000% of the RDA of B12 daily, or close to it. Cancer? We do it to ourselves. Like most of Christianity, most people are being led astray and then we wonder why someone gets cancer, we pray, then they die anyway and then we have to justify a God that hears prayers to atheists all the time. If I were God, I guess I would not listen to such prayers either when we break his dietary laws, stuff our food with crap, and then have the unmitigated gall to say that clean foods in the bible such as salt, steak, eggs and whatnot should be avoided in lieu of salt, sugar and fat substitutes that man in his infinite wisdom believes is better. As a matter of fact, I'm amazed at how merciful God really is all considering--- if I were Him I'd give everyone cancer.

I didn't say they were the only way to go, I just said I like to try them first.

Sorry I didn't make it clear who I was addressing

I was referencing this part of tim's post

All in all, it is hard to say what works. The drug companies make a ton of money, but the natural industry is big business now as well.

Medicine is really more about treating symptoms than what is causing the problem. Maybe that is because it is easier to do that. I don't know.

I am just saying I do not assume that because something is natural it is better, or because something is synthetic it is worse.
