personally I think that he is a fraud and makes Christianity look like a joke but I do believe in healings just not his on the account from the people that he is healed and the way he spends his money but is there any reason to believe in what he is doing and what reasons are there to not believe?

I became a Christian Pastor in 1974.
And I have visited Benny's home church, in Orlando, well the church where he was the Pastor a few years back.
My conclusion is that he's a fraud.
Even my 11 year old could see that the whole service was fake. We were sitting in the 2nd row and at the end of the service Benny came up to shake his hand and my child said, "Why did you knock all those people down?"
Benny also "Prophesied" that Oral Roberts would die within a year or less, and that was more than 13 years ago and Oral ain't dead yet.
Its time to get out the rocks.

PS to the lady who thinks Benny is too busy preaching to spend money: Benny stays in the most expensive hotel room he can find, often paying $30,000 per day. So don't tell me he's not spending money hand over fist.

God truly works the gift of healing at the crusades Benny hinn ministries holds. I have witnessed people getting healed when entering the Honda Center at one of the crusades when know one had even touched them. If you watch closely you will see when people come up on the platform their coming up to tetify of being touch by the Lord while sitting in the stands, their seats. They come up to testify of their healing, before Benny lays a hand on them. There are some christians that call foul because they think benny or anyone else who God uses to manifest healing are holier then they are, so it must be of the devil, because I'm just as good a christian as he is, not me that what some think and say. The bible ask this question: "He who ministers the Spirit, and works miracles among you (that's God) does He but the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? This one lady said she came from new york, having said if I can get to the crusade in Anaheim where Benny is holding a meeting God will heal me, well you know what happen when she walked into the Honda Center, she was healed of cancer, she felt a warmth come upon her body, and she knew she was healed, and Benny wan't even there yet. Listen anybody who looks to a man being a christian is out of line, it is the unsaved the backsliden and babie christians who get healed, and there is a whole lot of the gift of faith manifesting also, 1 Corinthians12:4-14.

Well... there are reasons to look at him and think he is a fraud, and I had that suspicion too.
Last November, my cousin invited me to an event near my home at which Benny Hinn was going to speak. My cousin is from Ohio and is involved with a ministry that is reaching into Iran with the message of Christ through a satellite TV station. The Iranian people are spiritually starved and it has been very successsful.
Benny Hinn has been supporting this project with a great deal of money and was there to support it further.
But that aside, I have to tell you - I have a been a Christian for 18 years and I don' t believe that I have felt the Spirit of Christ or a more meaningful message than when he spoke. He is an AMAZING preacher who was right on track with wisdom and understanding. I also experienced a powerful physical healing (that I was not looking for), and I am not the kind of evangelical that just falls for that stuff. The experience was amazing in the power of God and I left there knowing he is an anointed man. He did not ask for money for himself or his ministry that night either.
He is also doing great mission work around the world. We are not supposed to judge and if God wants to use him in a special way I believe that he can.
God Bless You.

Christianity is a fraud and a joke. Hinn is a sociopath who prays on the delusions and gullibility of Christians to get rich.

Brother Benny is the greatest Christian since the Rev. Dr. Falwell ascended up to heaven, where god asked him to introduce him to Benny the next time Benny slips away from his $8 million mansion in California with the youngest (she's 12) of his 72 white, blue-eyed virgins.

Benny Hinn is false, he claimed during an interview that he saw a dead person raised at one of his meetings. In a later interview he said he did not see it, but heard about it. I saw both of these interviews. He said by their fruits you will know them and he spoke truth then. The devil mixes truth with error also.
I saw one of his meetings and he did his "fire on the choir" and one of the girls that was "slain" looked behind herself before she sat down.

Satan is the great deceiver and is the author of all sins. And THE LORD JESUS CHRIST said in the endtimes even the elect will be deceived..Thus, the elect -the Prophets and the Saints are subjected to the deceptions of Satan who is the author of all sins. And all of these prophets and Saints who are the servants of GOD committed sins like King David-THE WORST SINNER, yet THE LORD GOD love him as he had a repentant heart. On one hand, when there are sins as in this world sins are given as in a math problem, THE LORD GOD has put up an automatic solutions as THE GOD WHO REDEEMS and FORGIVES PEOPLE. This demonstrates the great, great, great, great, great, great and great (seven times) MERCY OF THE LORD GOD. It is so as SALVATION OF THE LORD GOD WILL NEVER END AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS will last forever. Thus, with Benny Hinn works, I see more the great MERCY OF THE LORD GOD than his sins or frauds. THE LORD GOD IS LOVE. And HE COMMANDED us to love our neighbor as ourselves not to judge them and criticize them as their is A FINAL JUDGE-THE LORD GOD. Thus, if it is true that his works are fraud and fakes, as a chosen one of GOD, Benny Hinn can pray and ask for forgiveness from GOD. And THE LORD GOD promised that HE IS A GOD OF GREAT MERCY AND A GOD OF LOVE AND A GOD WHOSE ANGER DO NOT LAST FOREVER. THANKS GOD; FEAR GOD; PRAISE GOD; GLORIFY GOD; HONOR GOD AND WORSHIP GOD.

Amen to what you said. I'm a Christian. Jesus taught humility and was not into shows or performances. I'm not one to judge Benny Hinn and say his ministry is true or false, but it makes me shudder.

I've never seen him. For some time I thought people were simply misspelling Benny Hill from Brit-com fame.

Nothing wrong with healing, But why not go to the local county hospital, people there need healing there too.
