I saw this poster on the wall of the cancer clinic today:
Yes, this cancer clinic:
And yes, this IS the same Benny Hinn who sent out a request for his followers to pay for his new Gulfstream jet.
Benny Hinn has already taken delivery on a new Gulfstream jet, and wants you to pay for it, because "it is the only we Pastor Benny can continue to go as God directs." If you don't pony up for Benny Hinn's jet, "safety will plummet," Pastor Benny will be plumb tuckered out, and most importantly, untold numbers of precious souls who might have been saved will go to hell. All because of you. But if you do help pay for Benny Hinn's jet, he'll put your name in the special prayer cabin he's going to use as he races across the planet aboard, ahem, "Dove One," fulfilling the Great Commission from "the highest prayer tower in the world ... where he will intercede for you... ." And God will hear him better because he'll be 40,000 feet closer to heaven. ...Benny Hinn says in his appeal for the rest of the $6 million downpayment on the jet, "What we do for the sake of the Gospel, we must do now!"
My only thought is that if Mr. Hinn takes so much a single Ugandan schilling from the desperately poor and sick people longing, begging, for a miracle it will make him a spiritual predator, a spiritual terrorist.
And so my plea to Christian leaders like James Dobson, Richard Land, Tony Perkins, and to groups like the American Family Association who recently sent out this impassioned plea:
The TV Land network has a new feature starting this Saturday (Feb. 16) called "OHMIGOD, That's so 80's weekend." The series features movies from the 1980's. "OHMIGOD" is an irreverent exclamation for "Oh, my God!"
...take a stand against this spiritual crime... take a stand against the exploitation of sick Ugandans, starving Ugandans, desperate Ugandans... denounce the travesty of Benny Hinn in this country because that would be a whole lot closer to something Jesus would do.
Do it for Charles and for his parents:
And Senator Grassley - you might want to ask Mr. Hinn about this should he deign to appear before your committee.

Calvin,
It's very sad how many people are fooled into their preaching of healing and giving to their ministry. Many of their followers become confused about the real message of the gospel... confused and disollutioned. They don't have enough faith and that's why God didn't heal them.
If you listen to Mr Hinn's preaching..it is shallow, out of context (this is putting it lightly) and is totally a misrepresentation of Christianity at its core. Very sad.
Dear'Pastors, Evangelists,Prophets, Teachers of the word of GOD! And beloved intercourses in the house of the LORD! Its hi time to revel to us
what is in the hearts of all creation in this planet earth so he can
late every body to do his/her work instead of joking late us pray for the church of Christ Ezekiel 9=4-9 angels was moving to cover all the would
to put the sign on those who were crying and interceding for the
church but you can imagine other p'le joking with the word of GOD
even in ministers so brethren late us pray so that father can change
the hearts. Stay blessed.
I am glad i am not a shepard. There is a special place in hell for those who lead others astray for personel gain.
Am so much confused with this people who give out their comments about pastor benny, what criterion are they taking to conclude confidently about this man whether is a man of God or not? surely am saying many will go to hell because of commenting wrongly on the anointed preachers of God ! let me ask u, Jesus had declared about being the light of the world that means, whatever will be on darkrness will be from Devil! Now is it possible to pray using the name of jesus at the same time using power of satan u are hiding it for miracles manifestation ? ? Why has it been a custom of rellying on one verse in the bible about false preachers that will happen in the last days ? I think there is agreat need of people to understand the verse because, it gives precautions on prechers who will declare themselves as JESUS. benny is 100% a servant of jesus.
The following links below will take you to a collection of YouTube videos which are parts of a 1999 HBO documentary on faith-healing. An independent camera crew was for the first time allowed to film a Benny Hinn crusade in the US, and a Reinhard Bonke revival in Nigeria. Some of the people who claimed to have been healed were followed up to see how much better they were doing after their ‘healing’. One particular case, of an Indian boy with a brain tumour, is particularly sad.
None of the people claimed to be healed at his crusades actually get healed. Its all imaginary, and people need to wake up to the fact that supernatural healings do not occur, regardless of which evangelist it is.
