Info on Benny Hinn needed

Question: Is this the guy who heals people by whacking them with his jacket?

I believe that is sometimes part of his routine, but he's by no means the only one to do it.

He also sometimes just gestures at the person from a distance, and they fall down, "healed." He refers to it as shooting them with his "holy ghost gun." :rolleyes:
 
I...REALLY don't want to pursue that particular topic ANY further, thanks all the same, Rob.
 
Benny Hinn rarely heals people on stage if you notice. He brings up people that claim to have already been healed that night. They testify and he knocks em down.

Claus, my email is down for the moment, so I'll have to do this here.

The majority of articles about Hinn on the web tend to be criticizing him from a scriptural point of view.

One excellent article, written by (of all people) Joe Bob Briggs, is here:

http://www.thedoormagazine.com/theheretic.html

The people at thedoormagazine.com are Christians who investigate frauds like Hinn. They also have some DVDs about him available. I do not know the content, nor whether it could get to you in time.

Yeah, theologically, he's off the charts (the standard fundy charts). I've heard Bob Jones III say he's not Christian, and thus a satanic pretender (or something to that effect). He's very much of the P.T. Barnum school of religion.
 
I faintly remember some documentary about Benny Hinn that featured his (ex?) manager saying he told Benny to stop telling the "pacemaker poke" and "Carribean resurrection" tales, or something like that. He supposedly magically poked out someone's pacemaker, and cast true resurrection on some guy on a ship. Both were, of course, fabricated, but I think these were extra-fictional, since he never went to the places where these events supposedly happened.

Does that ring any bells for anyone?

Don't know how many times I have to repeat this...

It's all about the MONEY!

Whenever I think of Hinn, I think back to this song:

Send Me Your Money by Suicidal Tendencies

I was in meditation and prayer last night
I was awoken by a shining bright light
Overhead a glorious spirit
He gave me a message and you all need to hear it

(Chorus)
Send me your money
That's what he said, he said to
Send me your money
...
Here comes another con hiding behind a collar
His only god is the almighty dollar
He ain't no prophet, he ain't healer
He's just a two bit godd@mn money stealer

Thanks, all. Keep'em coming (but what part of "email" don't people understand? :p).

If everyone were to simply e-mail their links and not posot them here, then you might get a lot of duplicates. Posting responses here avoids that problem and provides a good listing for future JREFers who may want the same information.

I've never heard him say that, but I did hear him once complain about his critics and say "Sometimes I wish God would give me a Holy Ghost machine gun. [I'd] blow your head off." He later recanted his belief in the appropriateness of spritual automatic weapons.

I also have other requests out in other places, so it would be easier if people would email it to me.
 
The hair is the secret to his work. The FSM hides in there and uses Hinn as a messanger.
 
CFLarsen, did you by any chance get DR1's "Sondag" (today, april 30th) on tape? I didn't, but it contained a rather nice debunc on Benny Hinn by a magician. He basicly demonstrated the methods this "Miracle" worker used. Really nice.....

ETA: They are repeating it monday from 12.10 to 12.40.

Indeed. Michael Ahlstrand did very well.

It will be covered in the next issue of Swift. Stay tuned.
