Bible Question: Is it Biblical to throw the anointing of the Holy Spirit around like Mr Benny Hinn does at the crusades?? (To me it looks like a side show and I do not feel it glorifies God in any way) |
Bible Answer: Please,, don't worry about Benny Hinn, he is so obvious he should not "throw" you off the path of true Christianity. Worry instead about the ones that are truely clever in their deception. Look about you in many of the great denominational, fundimental churches. He (Satan) has his cohorts at work there to deceive and swindle the best of us. This is what Jesus was speaking of in:Luke 13:19 "It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and threw into his own garden; and it grew and became a tree, and THE BIRDS OF THE AIR NESTED IN ITS BRANCHES." The mustard "tree" is a monstrosity and the birds are satan's agents. Be gentle as a lamb but wise as a fox. Read II Tim chapter 2 and 3 In Christ. ken |
