1 | Cities of Judah or Cities of Demons? | Genesis | userdoe215 | 8380 | ||
Morant seZ: "The problem I have with Benny Hinn is exactly this kind of teaching. There is not a shred of evidence to support what he is saying. But the problem even goes beyond this one issue. His theology is constantly this messed up. I wouldn't trust anything he says on any issue. " I must disagree. Although I don't agree with some of his "theology", he does encourage people to believe God for great things, not to see God as just one who looks on with "compassion". I would feel more comfortable with the Benny Hinn crowd, who sees the Great Lord of the Universe as one who can touch us physically, spiritually, emotionally and familially, than with stodgy Calvanists who portray God as one who picks and chooses and is pretty much done with what He's going to do. |

There is no way, shogun, that I am willing or even prepared to post an expansive argument on the theological positions of the "Benny Hinn crowd" or the "stodgy Calvinists" as you have colorfully tagged each camp. Your tags of each communion are interesting in the way you have placed them in juxtaposition. Having known no adherents to the Benny Hill camp personally, I disqualify myself to post any comment on them. But with Calvinists I am quite conversant and have many dear friends among them. I've yet to meet a really "stodgy" Calvinist. I find most of them warm, caring, bright and quite likeable. I don't know of a single one who would subscribe to the notion that "God ... is pretty much done with what He's going to do." If I asked such a question of a Calvinist, I rather guess he would look at me quizzically and ask me what in the world I was talking about. To which I would feel compelled to answer, "Well, I'm not really sure myself what I am talking about." And as for your other tag, that Calvinists "portray God as one who picks and chooses," well, the Calvinists are by no means the first to portray God as being Sovereign and thus quite able to pick and choose as He pleases. God Himself, I submit to you, beat them to the draw. --Hank | ||||||

Hank, Nor am I willing or even prepared to post an expansive argument...mostly because I am a TERRIBLE writer. But, alas, contrast is the friend of the illiterate. Having many friends myself who lean toward the tulip filled gardens, I can only agree that there are truely Christians who are also Calvanists! But to the point: finding some the crazy ideas of Benny Hinn just as preposterous as those of the John Calvin, should I follow the conclusion of rejecting those who espouse flower power? Or should I look and see if they preach the gospel of forgiveness and redemption? Just a thought....the last one I have for today as I am quite ready to go home and be with my family! Blessings! |
