In the Bible it says that his disciples can heal people if they have enough faith and that the faith of a mustard seed can move mountains. So why do you automatically assume anyone who heals people is a false prophet? Maybe the same reason you shouldn't believe anyone can heal people.... its not possible?

I never met anyone that is healed by this guy. I guess I shouldn't judge.....but I am thinking if he does heal, why aren't more people flocking to him.............

Lets talk about your mustard seed first. There are obviously no people on planet earth that qualify, in having the faith of a mustard seed. Why do I say this? When is the last time someone moved a mountain by just willing it to move? Ergo no one has this minuscule amount of faith. Benny Hinn is a fraud, everything he does is done for $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$, people are just to bone ignorant to realize this. I challenge any faith healer including Mr. Hinn, to walk into a hospital intensive care ward, pick a patient on life support and cure them. Not going to happen, if it were possible we could do away with the whole medical establishment and just go to Mr. Hinn. I only see him using the same fake routine that every faith healer uses. Ask yourself, in your heart of hearts, if you or a loved one became seriously ill where will you go? Will you go to a faith healer, or to the hospital? When you answer this question, you will have the truth about Mr. Hinn and his ilk.

Can Benny Hinn heal people? No, only God can heal people. I don't believe Benny Hinn has demonstrated the gift of healing as it is shown in the Bible. Look throughout Scripture and you will see healing of the sort where YOU COULD SEE the healing. Limbs becoming new, crippled people walking, the blind can see. Did you ever see Jesus cure of man of arthritis? Maybe but it ain't in Scripture. Modern healers "cure" men of inside maladies. I am not saying these aliments aren't worth healing. I am saying Jesus kind of healing is in a wholly different category. Faith comes from God; I do not muster it up by sheer will power.

There are so many fakes out there. I think you
have a good question and I'd like to know myself if
he does. I don"t know anyone myself that has been
healed that way. I can't say God doesn't use him to
heal people. My question to you would be do you per-
sonally know anyone that was healed through Benny
Hinn's ministry? I have seen many people healed,
but not instantly. We prayed continualy and although
some people don't believe in prayer I believe much
would not have turned out the way it did without prayer.
I was told myself I had cancer. The day after surgery I
was told I did not have cancer,the doctor had mis-
-diagnosed my case. They
had removed some large tummors. Later I heard the doctor
didn't expect me to be alive till Christmas.That same
Christmas at a school program I came down the hall
and wished that doctor a Merry Christmas. He explained
to my husband what he had thought back in his office
in July and how he wished he might have seen back
then what he just saw. Of course no one knows what
God is going to do with much prayer. That is not the
only timeI have recieved almost instant or instant
answers to prayer.That's wonderful if God heals people
though Benny Hinn,but the answers I have recieved
and seen are enough for me.God bless Benny Hinn.
I do believe people are saved through his ministry.
Who are we to criticize his ministry or anyone else
I don't know. By the same token I can't honesty
support him. Nothing is impossible with God. God also
says He will take care of fakes and we are to leave
that up to Him.

First of all, only God can heal people. So your question would better be stated "Why don't Christians believe that God heals people through Benny Hinn?".
To answer that question you have to look at the reason why God healed people through Jesus and his disciples. He did it as a sign to testify that Jesus and his teaching was from God. Jesus didn't come to glorify himself, He came to glorify his Father. Jesus didn't go around telling people that they had to give Him money in order to be healed either.
Does Benny Hinn's ministry glorify God or does it seek to glorify Benny? Does Benny ever preach without asking for money? Here's a little experiment you can do. I've put Benny's name and the word "false" into a google search. Click on it and see what comes up and why the people say what they say.

Benny Hinn gave himself away when Pope John Paul II died and Benny flew to the Vatican to bask in the glory of the spectacle, and to be photographed in the company of presidents and kings.
He did daily show for about a week while he was there, and he never even got close to the real goings on, but he talked like he was right in the middle of it all.
He knew nothing about Catholicism, about the Vatican, the Pope, or the Mass, and his inane comments proved it.
It was merely a photo op for him, and a way to get donations from some misguided Catholics.
Benny is an actor, not a prophet or a healer.
Do some serious research on him and see what you get.
As for faith healing in general ... it happens, and there are authentic faith healers out there ... but most of them are too busy to make regular TV appearances.

I believe that God can do anything He wants to do. He is perfectly capable of healing people and does in accordance to His own plans. However, people like Benny Hinn claim to have God in a bottle - they claim they can heal anybody at any time. God is not a trained monkey, and I resent these people treating Him in that manner. In fact, if anyone could be healed on command, you would think it would be the Apostle Paul - but Paul himself said that he had "a thorn in the side" that God never healed. God has His reasons - for the good the person - whether or not to heal them. In Paul's case, Paul said he realized that it was to keep Paul humble. We see through a dark glass and not completely, but when God finally allows us to see fully, we will understand why He chose to or not to do something. But in everything, it is always for the good of His people.

Because he is just a "snake oil" seller. Look at all the cash that he has taken in during his years "healing". He ahs a HUGE house, Mercedes, BMW's, and the "Healing Home" he wants to build keeps getting put off for reasons that don't add up. Face it, anyone with half a brain knows that he is in it for the money! Anyone that can't see that is a fool, or just stupid. But God knows, and Benny Hinn will have to face Him eventualy!

The healing by Benny Hinn is against the beliefs of the modern Christian politicians and their Christian cronies. They think if they are healed by this man Benny Hinn than they cannot go out side the USA and terrorize other nations.

Many Christians believe in the healing gift of Benny Hinn.
There are far many more skeptics of his ministry however, even among Christians.
But to correct your view, it is Jesus that heals through those that have those gifts. Benny Hinn heals no one. The Lord does the healings. I have witnessed people being healed, even my own young son. But we didn't have to go to anyone but Jesus; He was willing to use a man who was willing to used as a tool in the Lord's hands.
