Huh? No, you're resposible for not donating enough money for Benny to buy his new "ministry tool". Here's a link -

Come on, Benny needs a new Dove One.

ok, that is a loaded question.
NO, but Yes.
As a person who has relied upon the donations of others for work, and work directly related to preaching/teaching/serving in the Christian community I have been in similar circumstances. As it relates directly, the preaching of the Gospel and the enabling of that directly by the contributions of partners etc, then yes, because of the preaching/teaching/serving he is able to buy the jet.
As it relates to did Jesus directly buy the jet for Benny Hinn? NO.
We as the people of God are sent out to this world to Preach the Good News (Isaiah 61?) If our ministry grows to the point that for the best use of our time and talents that a jet makes sense so we can do more, and over the long run be cheaper / faster / easier (less hassle than commercial) then does not that justify the purchase of the TOOL to spread the Gospel that much more? I believe it does AS LONG AS that power is not abused and it is used for the purposes of spreading the Gospel.
Also, others have jets as well. Kenneth Copeland, Jesse Duplantis (maybe TD Jakes) etc.
Question to you. Does the fact that these people rely on support from partners for ministry costs mean that they are not "worthy" of owning luxury items if that is within the budget of the ministry? Or their own luxury items if within the budget of their salary? What makes them any different from Tiger Woods or Phil Mickelson who have private planes and many luxury items.

Well its hard to play games with causality. After all if Jesus was never born (or if you are an atheist, if people never believed in Jesus) the world would be a very different place. Lots of historical wars would never have been fought and other one's would have been fought in their place. Without Jesus Benny Hinn might never have been born.
However assuming that Benny Hinn would still be born, he would have a even without Jesus. He would find a different faith and message to pervert and exploit for his own economic gain.

In Matthew 6 Jesus says some people (in essence) will have it all during their 70 or 80 years down here.But for ETERNITY they will have nothing.It's the same with the evil.We think,"How can God let them have so much success and money?"
Remember 80 years down here is a cup of water scooped out of the ocean .It's a very,very,long eternity in Hell.
