Subject: What Cities are Refered to in Jer. 4:26? |
Bible Note: Greetings DocSpock! Welcome to the forum! Since I was the one who first criticized Benny Hinn (at least on this thread), I would like to respond to your thoughtful post. There are many non-essential doctrines and teachings upon which many of us can disagree agreeably. If you follow many of the threads on this forum, you will see many points of view. This is a good thing. However, some teachers fall into the category of false teachers. I believe this is the case with Benny Hinn. You obviously don't agree. But there is Biblical precedent for exposing false teachers. Consider 2 John 9-11. The whole letter deals with false teachers, but verses 9-11 in particular warn about having anything to do with false teachers or contributing in any way to their ministry. The reason Benny Hinn was brought into this thread is that he was the one teaching the Jer. 4:23 refered to Demon cities before Adam was created. Consider the following outlandish teachings that Benny Hinn has expoused: a) That Christians are gods: Benny Hinn, Our Position In Christ, tape # AO31190-1 b) That he is a 'little messiah': Benny Hinn, "Praise-a-Thon" on TBN, November 6, 1990 c) That Adam was a super being who could fly: Benny Hinn, Praise the Lord program on TBN, December 26, 1991 d) That each member of the Trinity has a body, soul, and spirit: Benny Hinn, Benny Hinn program on TBN October 3, 1991 e) That we are not human: Benny Hinn, Our Position in Christ #2-The Word Made Flesh (Orlando: Orlando Christian Center, 1991), videotape #255. f) That Jesus was capable of sinning: Benny Hinn, Good Morning, Holy Spirit (Nashville: Thomas Nelson, 1990), 135-36. g) That Jesus took on the nature of Satan: Benny Hinn, Benny Hinn program on TBN (December 15, 1990). h) That Jesus had to be reborn spiritually: Benny Hinn, Our Position 'In Christ,' Part 1 (Orlando, FL: Orlando Christian Center, 1991), videotape #TV-254. These were all taken from the following web site: http://www.gospelcom.net/apologeticsindex/h01.html#quotes I always try to extend the love and grace of Christ to everyone, but this man is a false teacher. He is negatively impacting hundreds of thousands of people through his "ministry". Therefore, I feel that it is entirely approriate to address his false teachings. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
