What do Christians think when they see this?

Answer 1

Believing that my opinion as a Christian is shared by more than just myself, let me answer humbly on behalf of (a significant portion of) other Christians. We see Mr. Hinn as a fraud in many ways, namely a false prophet, and this video is a collection of embarrassing video clips demonstrating how different his practices and beliefs are from mainstream Christianity. When someone who's not a Christian falsely prophesies and conducts himself in such a manner, calling himself a Christian, it gives those outside the Christian community an incorrect impression of what Christians really are and act like. Please come and visit most any Christian church in your area, and you will not see anything even remotely resembling this.

The poor people who are falling over at his theatrical motions are either deceiving others or they've fallen victim to the power of suggestion. Jesus and his followers never healed people this way, and they certainly deferred all glory to God in such matters. Mr. Hinn has made quite a name for himself with all of the theatrics. Christians, however, generally regard him as a fraud and politely caution others against considering him to be a true Christian prophet.

P.S. Why is it in this category when a question is specifically addressed to Christians, atheists feel compelled to answer? I don't do this when the asker specifically addresses atheists.

Answer 2

I don't know what Christians think, but I think it's ridiculously funny. (I'm an atheist.)
