It is well documented that Benny Hinn's prophesies have all been false and that his teachings are Biblicaly wrong, consequently if he does have the power to heal then it does not come from God and if it doesn't come from God then it must be the same healing power that witchdoctors and Voodoo practitioners use and we all know where that comes from! It is possible that some people have been healed, but bear in mind that some people also get healed with placebo medications - the healing was triggered by their own mind, not by Benny Hinn or the pills made of powdered milk sugar. There have been many documented cases of people being told by Benny that they are healed who have died a short time after due to discontinuing their medication/treatment. There are many other cases that appeared to be healed only to have the illness return within a very short time. These are false healings, counterfeit, all illusion and deception! The CBC had a program on Benny Hinn, called Witness back in the late 1970's. During that interview, Benny gave five addresses to the interviewer in order to back up his claim that these people had indeed been healed because of his ministry. The interviewer followed up on these five addresses given to him and reported in the follow up program the results of his findings. A woman with lung cancer, whom she believed she was healed through Benny, who had made the claim that she was healed and paraded her around the stage, had died later because of her lung cancer. Another one of Benny's supposed miracle headings at his gathering show was a man who had hurt himself in an industrial accident, had limited painful mobility of his legs. Benny made the claim that he was healed, but the interviewer was told that he was worst off now, then before he went to Benny's healing service. So much for having these miracle headings verified! Another healing that Benny claimed to have been made during his healing services was the most despicable, tragic story of the Prakashs family. This family had converted from Hindu to Christianity for the sole purpose of getting GOD, with the help of Benny, to heal their dying son from a brain tumor. Only because of the producer from the C.B.C. show (Canadian Broadcasting Corp.) in Canada, called WITNESS, Benny agreed to bring the wheel chaired boy up upon the stage to be prayed for the boy's healing. After a great performance, Benny told the parents to expect a miracle. After the show, Mr. Prakashs, the boys father, stated that he felt GOD spoke to him during the service, and that he was going to send Benny $2000 dollars for his help. Seven weeks later the boy was dead. A true healing from the power of the Holy Spirit would be genuine and lasting. The people who Jesus and the Apostles healed didn't have relapses almost immediately! Benny's "healings" are no better than what a stage magician or witchdoctor could do! His "slaying in the spirit" is either mass hysteria which he is a master at manipulating or it is a demonic force. Why doesn't Benny Hinn ever go into a hospital and empty it out of all it's sick patients? Why only on stage, behind the camera, while asking for money? Benny Hinn ministries took in over $100,000,000 last year alone. Again, I ask, why doesn't Hinn ever use his alleged power to heal the sick people in hospitals? The reason is abundantly clear ... Hinn is a fraud. Hinn, like John Edward, Sylvia Browne, Oprah Winfrey, Joel Osteen, Rick Warren, and so many other false prophets, he EXPLOITS Christianity and God's Word to gain wealth, prosperity, control, influence, and popularity. But even if Benny had amazing supernatural powers and genuine abilities, did not Jesus warn that false prophets and false teachers would amaze the people with all sorts of impressive signs and wonders and that signs and wonders alone are NOT a sign that this person is of God? Did not Jesus also warn us that big showy, impressive miracles are how the Antichrist is going to convince millions of people that he is God? Look at how many Benny has convinced with his Las Vegas type showmanship and just think how much more impressive the real Antichrist is going to be!

Answer 7

A 'benny' is a Benzedrine. It is an amphetamine. Commonly used to give energy, keep you up when you want to sleep. Street name, speed.

Answer 8

Benzedrine is the trade name amphetamine (dl-amphetamine). It was marketed under this brandname in the USA by Smith, Kline and French in the form of inhalers, starting in 1928. Benzedrine was used to enlarge nasal and bronchial passages and it is closely related to other stimulants produced later, such as Dexedrine (d-amphetamine) and methamphetamine.

Early users of the Benzedrine inhaler discovered that it had a euphoric stimulant effect, resulting in it being one of the earliest synthetic stimulants to be widely used for recreational (i.e., non-medical) purposes. Even though this drug was intended for inhalation, many people abused it by cracking the container open and swallowing the paper strip inside, which was covered in Benzedrine. The strips were often rolled into small balls and swallowed, or taken with coffee or alcohol. The drug was often referred to as "Bennies" by users and in literature.

Because of the stimulant side effect, physicians discovered that amphetamine could also be used to treat narcolepsy. This led to the production of Benzedrine in tablet form.

In the 1940s and 1950s reports began to emerge about the abuse of Benzedrine inhalers, and in 1949, doctors began to move away from prescribing Benzedrine as a bronchodilator and appetite suppressant. In 1959, the FDA made it a prescription drug in the United States. Benzedrine and derived amphetamines were used as a stimulant for armed forces in World War II and Vietnam. In Sir Ian Fleming's novel Live and Let Die, the character James Bond receives benzedrine tablets amongst other materials intended to aid him in a mission. Bond takes a tablet and later credits its effect with preventing him from fainting after severe injury.
