Answer 1

Well, it's not for me to judge anyone else, but I do find these facts to be interesting.

The Lord tells Benny that homosexuals in America will be destroyed by fire by 1995. (Real Audio - © 1989 by Benny Hinn)

Orlando Christian Center, Dec. 31st, 1989.

"The Lord also tells me to tell you in the mid 90's, about '94-'95, no later than that, God will destroy the homosexual community of America. [audience applauds] But He will not destroy it - with what many minds have thought Him to be, He will destroy it with fire. And many will turn and be saved, and many will rebel and be destroyed."

- Benny Hinn.

Got to have gold now!

Benny's office at his church contains pictures of himself with George Bush and John Paul II. It was Hinn who arranged for Paul and Jan Crouch to meet with the Pope. Here is Mike Thomas's impression of a visit with Hinn:

He looks like a Ralph Lauren advertisement, a true gentleman of leisure. As always, his hair is sprayed solidly in place. "I don't know if you'll ever [again] see a reverend without socks," he says proudly. [He's wearing no socks.] "That's the way I am. I'm more down to earth than most people."

This comes from a man who just turned in his Mercedes for a Jaguar and recently moved from the exclusive Heathrow development to the even more exclusive Alaqua, where he now lives in a $685,000 home. His suits are tailored, his shoes are Italian leather, and his wrists and finger glitter with gold and diamonds ... what he considers a modest lifestyle, as if everyone lives like this.

He wears his diamond Rolex, diamond rings, gold bracelet and custom suits for all to see. ..."What's the big deal, for goodness sake?" he says. "What am I supposed to do, drive a Honda? ...That's not in the Bible. ... I'm sick and tired about hearing about streets of gold [in heaven]. I don't need gold in heaven. I got to have it now."

Answer 2

Can't think of a person off hand but I think they would need our prayers to have a change of heart to turn away from that sort of thing. In the same way if I do wrong I would want others to pray for me.

I try not to focus too much on the negative so much so that I don't get into being overly critical. I think that God knows already who is who and what others are doing. I have to be more concerned about what I am doing wrong not so much of what others are doing wrong.

Now if it's people who are directly in my path then that's different because then I can address issues with them as they would with me. Iron sharpens Iron.

Answer 3

Since I am Pagan I will list some Pagan... er "leaders"

Silver Ravenwolf- first, her life goal seems to be to mislead teenage girls who are interested in Wicca. She also praises herself as a tolerant person yet she hates Christians and is always sneaking stabs at them into her books.

Laurie Cabot- She actually refused to allow officers into her home, even though they had a search warrant. She then preceeded to curse them. She also stalks the streets of Salem in 'traditional' attire, ie black robes and 10 pounds of pewter pentacles. And then she sells stuff through catalogs... like little bottles of 'good luck' essence.

Though they may not be greedy exactly, they are both huge bigots who really give the people of my religion a bad name.

Answer 4

Rick Warren

Answer 5

JOhn Hagee. Pat Robertson, and Jim Baker

Answer 6

Dahlia Lama. He raked it in from the CIA & far-right orgs in the 60's and 70's then after relations were restored with China went to Hollywood with his sob story (he loses the magical throne,his birthright,and the GNP of his lost theocracy) and scores big; money,publicity,the whole cigar. This time his bit is he's a pacifist - but wait,doesn't he want The Liberation of Tibet and The Restoration of His Throne? And - gosh - wouldn't that take a major war? And wouldn't that be,um "non-pacifist" shall we say,besides resulting in the probable destruction of Tibet,but hey,he was raised as a spoiled brat and if you can't have something you break it,I guess. By the way he is fat under the orange toga and yeah he thinks his is the only valid religion.
