This guy rakes in millions (he just bought a new jet for his "ministry" and named it "Dove One") so he obviously has many followers who are willing to send him loads of money.
Who out there thinks Benny is for real? Why?

One of the many things that bothers me about this type is that they seem to be saying "You are not good enough until I heal you".
Many wonderful people with all sorts of disabilities, illnesses and amputations are living full lives in Christ. As God told Paul, "My Grace is sufficient" and "My strength is made perfect in weakness".
God often uses people with disabilities or who have gone through great hardship to teach other people the things that can only be learned by going through unique experiences. His Grace is sufficient because in Christ we never have to experience any hardship alone. Not a single moment of difficulty! Not only that, Christ understands our suffering because he suffered.
His Spirit is always with us to comfort, and to bring peace and joy.
In Christ we gain a soundness of soul that we do not have otherwise, regardless of disability. Therefore, we are whole in a far more important way than physical wholeness.
Any real Christian would understand this and deliver this message, this wonderful free gift, and deliver it freely and as frequently as possible.
Every person has things of value to offer and is a person of great worth, no matter how severely disabled. Why not give this message? Or would that be too unprofitable?

First, I think he is a phoney. Watch the first minute of his show. He comes walking in "all dressed in white" with the spotlight focusing on him while the music declairs, "Then sings my soul, my saviour God to Thee. How great Thou art. How great Thou art." I'm wondering who the "god" is in this picture. I think it's Benny.
A friend of mine (David) is in a wheelchair. He went to a Benny Hinn show and was told to sit in the back. He watched as people up front "got healed" and he sat in the back with the people who really needed the healing.
He's a crook. I have no fear in saying it. He is a talented scam artist.

No, he is not real. He is bogus. He has those people in black on the stage so you can't see them as they swoop in and drag you off the stage if you really are sick. After all, Benny can't really heal people. He's fake. I saw a documentary about that. This woman took her child who could not walk and tried to bring her on stage, and she was dragged away by Benny's guards. He only helps those who are not too sick looking so he looks good. If you're really dying, don't bet on him.

I am with you He is one of the greatest actors living. He wears white so as to emphasize his "purity' It is so amazing how when he touches peiople they fall over and have one of his people catch them. I am a religious person but I fear with Benny it is showtime. Maybe we should ask mHollywood to send him an Oscar

he thinks the color white signifies purity and he is clean as god. and his lackeys were made to wear dark so that they carry the dirt for him.
its pure money making business. otherwise why one needs to pay someone to pray, when one can pray oneself to god without an intermediary. also he does not teach anything for the money he takes from the poor people. just pray on thier behalf. how many times can he pray for these poor people. that means he is praying continuously ad nauseum......cant you see the stupidity of it. he is cery cunning and knows that poor people believe in it. just taking advantage of the blind faith and belief.
there are many like him in this world. in all religions.

you know some or maybe all Christians need to be careful that their ego`s do not side track them into believing that they are Gods infallible favorites and have carte blanche to set themselves up as holier than thou,I wonder if Mr.Hinn fits in this category?

The white draws attention to him so we can "see" the miracle (I think it's a lot of hooey myself)

No man may serve two masters. I wonder which he serves?
