Benny Hinn is a fraud!
See here:
(I pulled this off of http://www.cephasministry.com)
God has 9 parts (tri-theistic).
A. God has a body, soul and spirit.
B. Jesus has a body, soul and spirit.
C. Holy Spirit has a body, soul and spirit. (Benny Hinn, Benny Hinn broadcast, recorded 10/13/90)
Christians are little messiahs. Christians are little gods. (Benny Hinn, Praise-a-thon (TBN), recorded November 1990)
Jesus at His death became one with Satan. (Benny Hinn, Benny Hinn broadcast, recorded 12/15/90)
Poverty comes from Hell. Prosperity comes from Heaven. Adam had complete dominion over the earth and all it contains. A. Adam could fly like a bird. B. Adam could swim underwater and breathe like a fish. Adam went to the moon. Adam walked on water. Adam was a super being, He was the first superman that lived. Adam had dominion over the sun, moon & stars. Christians do not have Christ in their hearts. Sow a big seed, when you confess it, you are activating the supernatural forces of God. (Benny Hinn, Praise-a-thon (TBN), recorded November 1990)
When you don't give money, it shows that you have the devil's nature. (Benny Hinn, Praise-a-thon (TBN), recorded 4/21/91)
Wants to use Holy Ghost machine gun to kill Heresy Hunters. (Benny Hinn, Praise-a-thon (TBN), 11/8/90)
"He [Jesus] who is righteous by choice said, 'The only way I can stop sin is by Me becoming it. I can't just stop it by letting it touch Me; I and it must become one.' Hear this! He who is the nature of God became the nature of Satan where He became sin!" (Benny Hinn, TBN, 12/1/90).
Hinn revealed that he periodically visits (Kathryn) Kuhlman's grave and that he is one of the few with a key to gain access to it. He also visits Aimee (McPherson's) grave, where he says: "I felt a terrific anointing ... I was shaking all over ... trembling under the power of God ... `Dear God,' I said, `I feel the anointing.' ... I believe the anointing has lingered over Aimee's body." (Benny Hinn, April 7, 1991 sermon)
Benny Hinn said:
(1) Never, ever, ever go to the Lord and say, 'If it be thy will';
(2) No Christian should ever be sick;
(3) We Christians possess 'power in our mouths' to heal or kill just as witches possess it;
(4) Job tapped into the negative side of the faith force by a negative confession;
(5) Christ 'became one with the nature of Satan' and was 'born again' in hell;
(6) Christ would have sinned without the Holy Spirit and would have remained in the grave 'if the Holy Ghost had changed His mind about raising Him from the dead' [Jesus said, 'I have power to lay down my life and I have power to take it again' (Jn 10:18) for He is God];
(7) We are 'little gods' and even part of God with all the power of God; and
(8) We are 'little messiahs,' everything that Jesus ever was."

Benny Hinn claims to actually be a channel for God--that God enters him and takes over his mind and tongue to the point where he is unaware of what he has said. After his sermon on December 31, 1989, at Orlando Christian Center, during which he gave several future prophecies, Hinn expressed that he was drunk--presumably on the Holy Spirit--and asked someone to tell him what he had just said. (Biblical Discernment Ministries - 5/92)
"When one is born again by faith in Jesus, he is given a new spirit man that wasn't there before--a spirit man that is divine in nature and God-like" (Benny Hinn, Our Position in Christ [sermon tape]).
"Though we are not Almighty God Himself, nevertheless, we are now divine" (Benny Hinn, 12/1/90, TBN)
"He [Jesus] who is righteous by choice said, 'The only way I can stop sin is by Me becoming it. I can't just stop it by letting it touch Me; I and it must become one.' Hear this! He who is the nature of God became the nature of Satan where He became sin!" (Benny Hinn, TBN, 12/1/90).
"What was the appearance of God the Father? Like that of a man...God has the likeness of fingers and hands and a face." (Good Morning Holy Spirit, (Benny Hinn, Word, 1991) p. 82)
"What does God the Father look like? Although I've never seen Him, I believe - as with the Holy Spirit - He looks like Jesus looked on earth." (Benny Hinn, Good Morning Holy Spirit, (Word, 1991) p.87)
"Had He (Jesus) not offered Himself through the Holy Ghost, He would not be accepted in the eyes of God the Father. Nor would He have endured the sufferings of the cross. Had He not presented Himself through the Holy Ghost, His blood would not have remained pure and spotless. And let me add this: Had the Holy Spirit not been with Jesus, He would have sinned." (Benny Hinn, Good Morning Holy Spirit, (Word, 1991) p.135)
"Do you know that every unbeliever is filled with a demon spirit?" (Good Morning Holy Spirit, (Benny Hinn, Word, 1991) p.146)
"Christians are "Little Messiah's and "little gods" on the earth. Thus [Encouraging the audience]...say "I am a God-man....This spirit-man within me is a God-man..." say "I'm born of heaven-a God-man. I'm a God man. I am a sample of Jesus. I'm a super being. Say it! Say it! Who's a super being? "I walk in the realm of the supernatural." Say it!...You want to prosper? Money will be falling on you from left, right and centre. God will begin to prosper you, for money always follows righteousness....Say after me, "everything I ever want is in me already." (Benny Hinn, TBN, 1990)
Benny Hinn says that Christians confessing they are "a sinner saved by grace" only insult God with such "garbage" (The Toronto Blessing, Stephen Sizer, 1990)
"Poverty is from the devil and that God wants all Christians prosperous." (Benny Hinn, TBN, 11/6/90)
"I am a 'little messiah' walking the earth" (Benny Hinn, Praise-a-Thon" on TBN, November 6, 1990).
"Are you ready for some real revelation knowledge....you are god" (Benny Hinn, "Our Position In Christ", tape # AO31190-1)
"You are a little god on earth running around". (Benny Hinn, "Praise-a-thon" broadcast on TBN, November, 1990)
"You think you're in this church to hear things you've heard for the last 50 years?" (Benny Hinn, Benny Hinn broadcast, recorded 10/13/90)
"If you have attacked me, your children will pay for it." (Benny Hinn, TBN "Heresy Hunters" October 23 1992)
"The anointing is the power of God" (Benny Hinn, The Anointing. Nashville: Thomas Nelson. 1992. 74.)
" . . . the anointing is dependent upon my words. God will not move unless I say it. Why? because He has made us coworkers with Him. He set things up that way." (Benny Hinn, The Anointing. Nashville: Thomas Nelson. 1992. 82.)
" . . . the anointing increases. He gives you a little and watches you. Then He gives you more." (Benny Hinn, The Anointing. Nashville: Thomas Nelson. 1992. 81.)
Benny Hinn said: "This spirit-man within me is a God-man. Say after me, he’s born of heaven, he’s a super-being…Say I’m born of heaven - God-man. I’m a God-man. I’m a sample of Jesus. I’m a super being. Say it! Say it! Who’s a super being? I walk in the realm of the supernatural. Get the spirit-man renewed…when he’s strong, he’ll hold off sickness…you want to prosper? Money will be falling on you from left, right and center. God will begin to prosper you, for money always follows righteousness…Say after me, I hold my destiny." ("Joel’s Army," Jewel van der Merwe, Discernment Ministries)
"You have so much today that is pure flesh, yet people have labeled it as the Spirit. It's not the Spirit, because it's not centered on Christ. It's pure emotionalism. Some of what is happening today, some of these manifestations where people are barking, making sounds of animals - I can tell you, that is not the Holy Spirit. It is purely demonic. The Holy Ghost does not bark. Only a devil barks. If somebody barks in my meeting, I'll cast the devil out of that man." That's all fine and good, but it is not Benny Hinn who can cast demons out. Only by the authority of Jesus Christ can a believer cast out demons. Also, we haven't seen Hinn do this and don't expect him to, because people in his audience are having weird manifestations also. On top of this, Hinn was kicked out of the Assmeblies of God in October of '96 for his heresy. Since the bulk of his comments on this show seemed to be aimed at Brownsville AOG, one has to wonder if this new seemingly non-heretical Benny Hinn is drunk on the wine of sour grapes. (Benny Hinn Condemns Toronto Blessing/Pensacola Phenomena Praise The Lord July 4, 1997 videotape transcript, with comment from Sandy Simpson)
"You watching TBN here. If you're doing such nonsense, get back to the Bible. And don't you dare experiment with what is not Scriptural, checking out if God is in it. My brother, if it's not in the Bible, He's not in it!! If it's not in the Word of God, He is not in it." Benny Hinn is preaching to Christians who have been listening to him teach things that are so far away from Scripture that they are ridiculous. Now he expects us to believe, after he has preached heretical sermons and written heretical books that he is going "back to the Bible"? In my opinon, this is a ruse. But we shall see. (Benny Hinn Condemns Toronto Blessing/Pensacola Phenomena Praise The Lord July 4, 1997 videotape transcript, with comment from Sandy Simpson)
"Holy Spirit said something to me and I had to go like a mad man and looking in the Word. He says, ‘God’s original plan is that the woman was to bring forth children out of her side.’ What? You know that there is nowhere in the Bible but where God gives birth out of His side. Jesus gives birth to the church out of His side. Adam gives birth to his wife out of his side. It was sin that turned the thing around. And it was sin that transformed her flesh and her body." (Transcribed From A Message Given By Benny Hinn, Paw Creek Ministries)
I recently heard (Benny Hinn) say "when we breathe out we breathe ourselves out and when we breathe in we breathe in the Spirit".(E-Mail, Ed Tarkowski, Fri, 11 Jul 1997 02:09:43 -0600)
"God sent Jesus as an example to see if we could retain and maintain the Holy Spirit in human flesh." (Benny Hinn as observed by Ed Tarkowski in an e-mail Wed, 23 Jul 1997 23:02:03)
Interestingly, Hinn says, "You see, we are not seeking a move, not an experience. We are seeking Jesus, and when you seek Jesus, He'll breathe that mighty power of the Spirit." Apparently, Hinn is not a Christian, he says he is "seeking" Jesus. This is no testimony of knowing Jesus. He who believes on the Son has life, he who does not have the Son abides in darkness. ....instead of arguing "sound" doctrine with him, we need to share the gospel with him. If he doesn't know Jesus whom God sent, and He isn't abiding with him still, (which is the testimony of the saints), then he actually needs to know the Lord...be born again. "...except a man be born of water and the spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God." John 3:5 (Benny Hinn Condemns Toronto Blessing/Pensacola Phenomena Praise The Lord July 4, 1997 videotape transcript, commentary by (name withheld) in an e-mail to Stef O'Grady, Wed, 23 Jul 1997 22:27:21)
"Pastor Benny shares this testimony, whenever he comes to a CITY, the demons over that city will FLEE, crying, "The man of God is coming; the man of God is coming!" Can Hinn produce proof of this claim? Since Hinn has been proven many times over to be a false teacher and false prophet, it follows logically that any demons over a city he enters would be rejoicing that more Christians may be led astray. (Benny Hinn, Praise The Lord Newsletter, TBN, August 1997; with comment by Sandy Simpson, 1997)
Benny Hinn speaking in tongues: "Demon, demon, demon ... glory, glory, glory!" (Benny Hinn, TBN)
Benny Hinn sounds like he says: "Lord Jesus, give them sin ... holy laughter to the people, I pray!" (Benny Hinn, TBN)
"Don't tell me you have Jesus. You ARE everything He was, and everything He is and shall be." (Benny Hinn, TBN)
"If Benny Hinn is real, he'll go into the hospitals and cure everyone there," asks WFTV's Marla Weech. "I've been told that many times," responds Hinn. "What I tell them is quite simple. Healing most times needs an atmosphere of faith." And that atmosphere is created again and again by those attending his national and international healing crusades, such as in a recent service to a capacity crowd in Orlando. "I have gone to hospitals. I've done it actually many times," says Hinn. "Or people's homes and pray for them. Most times, they cannot get healed. You've got to understand something. I'm not the healer. I cannot make it happen. God's people make it happen; bring this atmosphere of faith, but like I said, there have been times when I did go and God did heal them. But these have been very few." Straight from the "horse's mouth" folks! These Third hucksters need an "atmosphere" in which to ply their trade. If this were ever a call for Christians and anyone else to avoid these circus events, I don't know what further evidence you need. Notice that it is not God who heals, but "God's people make it happen." This is further evidence of his continued teaching that Christians are "God" and when we get together, whatever we speak into existence with our mouths God is obligated to do.

Let's take a look at the post above-piece by piece:
Quote:
God has 9 parts (tri-theistic).
A. God has a body, soul and spirit.
B. Jesus has a body, soul and spirit.
C. Holy Spirit has a body, soul and spirit. (Benny Hinn, Benny Hinn broadcast, recorded 10/13/90)
(Letter "A" Should read The Father, not Just God! There are 3 Very distinct people in the trinity. For those items with no scriptural basis, I will use the abbreviation-NSB. There is NSB for the Father ever having a body or soul. Scripture says that "God is spirit. Those who worship Him, must worship in spirit." Now Jesus Did have a Body, Spirit, & soul, because he was human, but I think that they operated very, very differently in Him, than in us humans, because He was also God! As to the Holy Spirit-He IS SPIRIT-how could He HAVE one? Or a soul, for that matter? NSB! While He has taken the forms of Flames & a dove, those are the only two indications in Scripture of any physical characteristics! There aren't any more!)
Quote:
Christians are little messiahs. Christians are little gods. (Benny Hinn, Praise-a-thon (TBN), recorded November 1990)
(Do I hear blasphemy here? No Christian in their right mind would EVER compare themselves to the Father! {At least, I HOPE not!})
Quote:
Jesus at His death became one with Satan. (Benny Hinn, Benny Hinn broadcast, recorded 12/15/90)
(NSB!)
Quote:
Poverty comes from Hell.
(No, poverty comes from the sin of ADAM & EVE eating the apple! If they hadn't, there wouldn't BE poverty!)
Quote:
A. Adam could fly like a bird. B. Adam could swim underwater and breathe like a fish. Adam went to the moon. Adam walked on water.
(A big NSB!)
Quote:
Adam had dominion over the sun, moon & stars.
(No-Adam had dominion over the animals! NSB)
Quote:
Christians do not have Christ in their hearts
(Than Revelation 3:20, is a lie?)
Quote:
Sow a big seed, when you confess it, you are activating the supernatural forces of God. (Benny Hinn, Praise-a-thon (TBN), recorded November 1990)
(Than Jesus lied about the mustard seed?)
Quote:
When you don't give money, it shows that you have the devil's nature. (Benny Hinn, Praise-a-thon (TBN), recorded 4/21/91

(No-Jesus is righteous by NATURE! He's God!)
Quote:
]He who is the nature of God became the nature of Satan where He became sin!" (Benny Hinn, TBN, 12/1/90).
(No, Jesus never became ANYONE's Nature, least of all Satan's! The only thing accurate here is that Jesus DID become sin for us! Everything else-NSB)
Quote:
Benny Hinn said:
(1) Never, ever, ever go to the Lord and say, 'If it be thy will';
(This could be taken 2 ways. 1. As a spirit of Resignation, 2.We say this, as a sign of submission, realizing that God's will MUST take precedance over our own. I prefer #2)
Quote:
(2) No Christian should ever be sick;
( All through the NT, we see stories of people being sick-of people being healed from being sick. Paul himself talks about his own infirmities in several letters. Until we either die, or are taken away in the Rapture, our human bodies will get sick, because they are imperfect, because of the original sin!)
Quote:
(3) We Christians possess 'power in our mouths' to heal or kill just as witches possess it;
(Oh, this is a great analogy! Also, what does Scripture say, about LOVE OUR ENIMIES? Any kind of killing goes against the very fundementals of Christianity!)
Quote:
(4) Job tapped into the negative side of the faith force by a negative confession;
(I don't ever recall any kind of negative confession from Job? And the Christian faith, by it's very nature is positive, not negative, because it gives us the hope of an eternity with Christ!)
Quote:
(5) Christ 'became one with the nature of Satan' and was 'born again' in hell;
(NSB! This is NOT what the term "Born Again" means! Being Born Again gives us new life-it has nothing to do with Hell!)
Quote:
(6) Christ would have sinned without the Holy Spirit and would have remained in the grave 'if the Holy Ghost had changed His mind about raising Him from the dead' [Jesus said, 'I have power to lay down my life and I have power to take it again' (Jn 10:18) for He is God];
(No-all throughout the NT , are the affirmations that Jesus was
sinless-because He is GOD! He rose from the dead-BECAUSE HE IS GOD! The only thing here that Christians CAN agree with Hinn, is his statement that Jesus IS God! But that's the ONLY thing that we can agree on!)
Quote:
(7) We are 'little gods' and even part of God with all the power of God; and (8) We are 'little messiahs,' everything that Jesus ever was."
(No, we talked about this earlier. And the very idea of being everything that Jesus was, is absurd, because we would be claiming to be like God! Satan made that claim as well, & look what happened to him!)

Quote:
"When one is born again by faith in Jesus, he is given a new spirit man that wasn't there before
(True, but there is no second person involved here)
Quote:
a spirit man that is divine in nature and God-like" (Benny Hinn, Our Position in Christ [sermon tape]).
(No, not any kind of a man & definatly NOT just God-like! It IS God, in the Person of the Holy Spirit, Changing a man from the inside out! "If any man be IN Christ, (And Christ in US! Bill), he is a new creature. Old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."
Quote:
"Though we are not Almighty God Himself, nevertheless, we are now divine" (Benny Hinn, 12/1/90, TBN)

Quote:
"What was the appearance of God the Father? Like that of a man...God has the likeness of fingers and hands and a face." (Good Morning Holy Spirit, (Benny Hinn, Word, 1991) p. 82)

(Benny Hinn, Good Morning Holy Spirit, (Word, 1991) p.135)
(While we read that Jesus was moved by the Holy Spirit, Jesus didn't need the Holy Spirit to keep His blood pure-He was God! Same with this last statement-Jesus COULDN'T have sinned anyway-Why? Because He was GOD!)
Quote:
"Do you know that every unbeliever is filled with a demon spirit?" (Good Morning Holy Spirit, (Benny Hinn, Word, 1991) p.146)

"...except a man be born of water and the spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God." John 3:5 (Benny Hinn Condemns Toronto Blessing/Pensacola Phenomena Praise The Lord July 4, 1997 videotape transcript, commentary by (name withheld) in an e-mail to Stef O'Grady, Wed, 23 Jul 1997 22:27:21)
"Pastor Benny shares this testimony, whenever he comes to a CITY, the demons over that city will FLEE, crying, "The man of God is coming; the man of God is coming!" Can Hinn produce proof of this claim? Since Hinn has been proven many times over to be a false teacher and false prophet, it follows logically that any demons over a city he enters would be rejoicing that more Christians may be led astray. (Benny Hinn, Praise The Lord Newsletter, TBN, August 1997; with comment by Sandy Simpson, 1997)
Benny Hinn speaking in tongues: "Demon, demon, demon ... glory, glory, glory!" (Benny Hinn, TBN)
Benny Hinn sounds like he says: "Lord Jesus, give them sin ... holy laughter to the people, I pray!" (Benny Hinn, TBN)
"Don't tell me you have Jesus. You ARE everything He was, and everything He is and shall be." (Benny Hinn, TBN)
"If Benny Hinn is real, he'll go into the hospitals and cure everyone there," asks WFTV's Marla Weech. "I've been told that many times," responds Hinn. "What I tell them is quite simple. Healing most times needs an atmosphere of faith." And that atmosphere is created again and again by those attending his national and international healing crusades, such as in a recent service to a capacity crowd in Orlando. "I have gone to hospitals. I've done it actually many times," says Hinn. "Or people's homes and pray for them. Most times, they cannot get healed. You've got to understand something. I'm not the healer. I cannot make it happen. God's people make it happen; bring this atmosphere of faith, but like I said, there have been times when I did go and God did heal them. But these have been very few." Straight from the "horse's mouth" folks! These Third hucksters need an "atmosphere" in which to ply their trade. If this were ever a call for Christians and anyone else to avoid these circus events, I don't know what further evidence you need. Notice that it is not God who heals, but "God's people make it happen." This is further evidence of his continued teaching that Christians are "God" and when we get together, whatever we speak into existence with our mouths God is obligated to do. (Interview with Benny Hinn by Marla Weech, WFTV Anchor as reported in Inside Central Florida, with comment by Sandy Simpson, http://www.insidecentralflorida.com.../WFTV_hinn.html, 1999 )
There is nothing more that I need to add. I do not judge him-Hinn's own words judge him. What is it that Scripture says, about "by a man's words, he is saved, & by a man's words, he shall be condemmed." The Bible also says in Revelation, that we shall all be judged-not by each other, but by God Himself.
Let us all pray that Benny Hinn, comes to see the truth of the lies that he believes, & repent, before it is too late!
