Benny Hinn, the infamous purveyor of flawed theology, dares to suggest there are nine persons in the Trinity, that Adam could fly, and flip-flops on word-of-faith teachings. This dangerous deceiver, this fraud, this charlatan, has lined his pockets for five decades at the expense of countless souls. He has twisted and manipulated biblical teachings to extract money from his followers, and now, after FIFTY YEARS OF HERESY, he offers a flimsy apology, claiming he “was not wise?” Unbelievable!<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

After 50 years<\/span> of ministry, do we get this as an apology for egregious heresy?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Benny Hinn, the evangelist best-known for his televised miracle healings, is doing damage control after a 4-hour expose on his ministry was released by popular theologian Mike Winger on his YouTube channel.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Controversial televangelist Benny Hinn said his two \u201cbiggest regrets\u201d in his decades-long ministry include promoting prophecies he now admits \u201cwere not accurate or from the Lord\u201d and pushing \u201cprosperity theology.”<\/p>\n

\u201cThe two things I regret most in ministry: I was not too wise a number of times with prophecy,\u201d<\/strong><\/span> the 71-year-old charismatic preacher told Stephen Strang, host of The Strang Report, in a recent interview.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had guests come to the crusades that I think brought harm to not only people\u2019s lives but also to my reputation because their prophecies were not really prophecy. They went outside the borders of redemption.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd then there were times when I thought God had showed me something that He wasn\u2019t showing me. And I spoke it out,\u201d Hinn said. \u201cBut in 1 Corinthians 13, we clearly see that we all prophesy in part. That means we don\u2019t see the full picture. And sadly \u2014 and I wish I could go back and fix it \u2014 but sadly, there were some prophecies I gave that were not accurate or from the Lord.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut who\u2019s perfect?\u201d he added.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd for that, of course, I ask people to forgive me,\u201d Hinn said. \u201cI\u2019m just human and made mistakes like that. And I\u2019ll probably make them again, I suppose, down the road, because I\u2019m not perfect.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

On December 7, 1974, four days after his 22nd birthday, Benny Hinn first stood behind a pulpit to preach the Gospel\u2014his life-long stuttering problem suddenly healed!<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Toufik Benedictus “Benny” Hinn (born 3 December 1952) is an Israeli-born American-Canadian televangelist, best known for his regular “Miracle Crusades”\u2014revival meeting or faith healing summits that are usually held in stadiums in major cities, which are later broadcast worldwide on his television program, This Is Your Day.<\/p>\n

In 1972, he became a born-again Christian. Hinn has written that on 21 December 1973, he traveled by charter bus from Toronto to Pittsburgh to attend a “miracle service” conducted by evangelist Kathryn Kuhlman. Although he never met her personally, he often attended her “healing services” and has often cited her as an influence in his life. In 1974 he was invited to speak about his spiritual experience at Trinity Pentecostal Church in Oshawa and claimed to have been cured of his stuttering.<\/p>\n

In March 1993 Inside Edition reported on Hinn’s $685,000 Orlando home and Mercedes-Benz, despite Hinn having previously claimed a “modest lifestyle”. An employee of Inside Edition also faked a healing from cerebral palsy which was shown on Hinn’s regular broadcast.<\/p>\n

A controversial aspect of Hinn’s ministry is his teaching on, and demonstration of, a phenomenon he dubs “The Anointing”\u2014the power purportedly given by God and transmitted through Hinn to carry out supernatural acts.<\/strong><\/span> At his Miracle Crusades, he has allegedly healed attendees of blindness, deafness, cancer, AIDS, and severe physical injuries. However, investigative reports by the Los Angeles Times, NBC’s Dateline, the CBC’s The Fifth Estate, and the Nine Network’s 60 Minutes have called these claims into question.<\/p>\n

Hinn has also caused controversy for theological remarks and claims he has made during TV appearances. In 1999, Hinn appeared on the Trinity Broadcasting Network, claiming that God had given him a vision predicting the resurrection of thousands of dead people after watching the network<\/strong><\/span>\u2014laying out a scenario of people placing their dead loved ones’ hands on TV screens tuned into the station\u2014and suggesting that TBN would be “an extension of Heaven to Earth.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Benny Hinn publicly declared Holyfield healed. After re-examining the cardiology, Holyfield discovered that he had never had a heart condition, as he had previously been misdiagnosed.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In 1994, boxing champion Evander Holyfield stood in front of a crowd who had gathered to witness the miracles of televangelist Benny Hinn. Before Hinn and the crowd, Holyfield begged for God\u2019s healing. He had just been diagnosed with a condition in which the left ventricle of his heart could not work properly and so his blood struggled to pump.<\/p>\n

A wave of Hinn\u2019s hand did what countless heavyweights had been unable to do and knocked Holyfield to the ground. Holyfield reported a warm feeling flood his chest as he collapsed. He heard Hinn turn to the cheering crowd: \u201cThe lord is telling me now: he is repairing Holyfield\u2019s heart completely.\u201d<\/p>\n

When Holyfield returned to the doctors, his heart was indeed pumping once more. Although doctors reported that he\u2019d been misdiagnosed, Holyfield credited no one but Benny Hinn for his return to the ring.<\/strong> <\/span>Holyfield was so thrilled that he even agreed to write Hinn a check for $265,000, needed, as Hinn told him, to \u201cunderwrite the costs of the crusade.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“This tool we must have for declaring the Gospel to the nations in this last hour, and the miracle the Lord has provided Dove One, an aircraft that became available just as the door of opportunity began to close on aircrafts the ministry had previously been utilizing.”<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Hinn takes money from thousands of desperate souls seeking cures to illnesses such as terminal diseases or “homosexuality.” Those who are lucky enough to get on stage are yelled at through a microphone and made to collapse under the pretense that God’s great will is channeled through scumbags standing on a stage and shot out in jolts of energy-bolt-cures which the victim takes by falling down on the ground due to the extreme impact of gullibility and pure fantasy. His weapons of choice are hand gestures and smacking victims in the face with a jacket. Sometimes his amazing healing powers are so strong he can even cure dozens of people of their money in large groups. Many of his victims lose not only their hard-earned cash but also their lives when their cancer metastasizes despite Hinn’s expensive miracle cures.<\/p>\n

Hinn is known to stay in $10,000 a night hotels. Local staff working backstage for Hinn are instructed not to make eye contact or otherwise approach him as this might “take him out of the moment.” Hinn travels modestly in a lavish private jet plane worth just $36,000,000 up-front, with maintenance costs of $600,000 annually. Hinn lives in a humble mansion worth only several million dollars in a select rich area.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
