Benny Hinn And His Shocking Letter Of Mammon Greediness

This is a part of a letter from Benny Hinn with his signature as proof it is from him.  Actually, it is not a new letter and has been on his website since 2008. See http://www.bennyhinn.org/articles/articledesc.cfm?id=638 

Basically he is clearly implying that Benny Hinn Ministries is the storehouse you should pay your tithes into. Or at least he is hoping that his supporters will pay their tithes to him as they are the ones who believe that Benny feeds them.


These Word of Faith preachers are always misquoting scripture to get you to send them money and try to put pressure on your conscience. They state "if you give, God will bless you and will not bless you if you don't give".


My bible teaches that God's love and grace is unconditional for the born-again Christian. Paying tithes is because we love God not because we want something in return. If we do it because we want something from God, it becomes a blessing due to our works. The New Testament is clear:  we are saved by Grace, we receive the Holy Spirit through Grace and we continue our walk with God through Grace - not of works!  This was his letter:

Islam. How to share with Muslims


This post will give you information about what Islam teaches,
what muslims hold dear and generally how to share your faith with them.

WHAT DOES ISLAM BELIEVE?
A Westerner's first impression will probably confirm the Muslim's claim to a simple, uncomplicated faith. An apparently uncluttered theology works itself out in a seemingly rigid, puritanical way of life. A deeper knowledge of current movements in Islam may give pause for thought, but a superficial view of Islam reveals a male-dominated society with strict taboos on drink and tobacco. What then does Islam believe?
What follows is what Muslims believe (as if stated through 
their own mouths -not as if stated by this post)

How To Handle Strange or Different Teachings With Right Perspective

We are living in days of mass deception – especially from within “so called” Christian circles. The Bible instructs us to watch out for false prophets, to be discerning and also ensure that false teaching does not spread like leaven. So how do we determine whether a teaching is heresy, major error, or just simply a minor difference in interpretation? Also, how should we behave, respond when we read or hear what seems like “strange” teachings?

The purpose of this article is to encourage us all to seek the Lord and in so doing we will be better equipped to handle these things and not be drawn to false teaching or teachers who tickle our ears by the things they say,
with all sorts of unsound ideas.

Let's first, gets things in the right perspective, though. So let us

How To Handle False Teaching And Strange, Different Teachings

Christian Protestant Denominations In 2010. Are They Now All Apostate? (Of Course Not). This Blog's Statement

I need to clarify the stance taken on this blog, regarding its views on todays Protestant Denominations. This is being done because the blog was questioned over its view of current denominations and believers.


It was claimed that the blog appeared to be dismissive of the millions of  born-again, evangelical, or bible-believing  christians who are members of denominational churches. They asked if I was suggesting that these were not "true" Christians and whether we were more "biblical" than them?

This (I know) is a sensitive issue and needs to be addressed,  in case many get unnecessarily discouraged in their faith, hurt or angry because of misunderstanding. I certainly do not want to give the wrong impression and encourage you to participate in this blog.

I will start this article by stating very emphatically that I am NOT saying that all denominational protestant churches (or all those believers within them) are not true Christians!  Note: Here is a more recent article (written 20 Feb 2013) regarding this subject:
http://watchmanforjesus.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/in-these-days-of-apostasy-and-false.html

Actually it is not the building or the denomination which makes it Christian but the people inside it. A denomination  and individuals show that they are a true church or believer if

Evidence Of Premier Christian Radio's Ecumenical and Catholic Links. Why They Can Be Dangerous.

Additional Information 19th November 2014 At Bottom Of This Article
Premier Christian Radio has great influence amongst Christians in the UK (in particular in London where it first operated). It is mostly heavily subscribed financially by Kingsway International Community Church ie KICC (which is a Word of Faith church) and the Roman Catholics, so has become VERY ecumenical (and New Age ideas are promoted on the digital radio and on its website). It seeks to unite Evangelicals, Protestants and Catholics by presenting mixed programmes, but is primarily Catholic, new age and ecumenical, presenting some very weird stuff and promoting heretical Christian groups. As a high percentage of Christians in England listen to the station they are being badly influenced (brainwashed) in this ecumenical drive.


However, at present (amongst the majority of poison) they do have a "few" decent teachers who teach scriptural truth but for how long? Please click on this shortcut link

Benny Hinn Wheelchair and Hypnosis Fraud Exposed

I found this very enlightening about how Word Faith operate - not just Benny Hinn.

THE LAST WORD By Ole Anthony with Skippy R.
Issue # 177, Sept./Oct. 2001
“Who says I am not under the special protection of God?” --Adolph Hitler
We were as surprised as everybody else when HBO compared televangelist Benny Hinn to Adolph Hitler in a special program last spring.

But now that they’ve made the comparison, we can’t explain how we overlooked the resemblance for so long.

The comb-over hair should have been a dead give-away. And here’s a description we ran across of an early Hitler rally by Newsweek magazine in the 1930s: “Women faint when, with face purpled and contorted with effort, he blows forth his magic oratory.”

Blows forth? Yep. That could definitely be Benny.


We decided the cover of our magazine should do justice to this new revelation, but the scale just didn’t quite work. So we substituted Charlie Chaplin’s character in The Great Dictator for Adolph himself, and it balances just right.

Antony Thomas, producer of the HBO special called America Undercover: A Question of Miracles, brought together specialists in psychology, neurology and theology to take a look at the techniques of crowd control used by Hinn and a German evangelist, Reinhardt Bonnke, and compare their style to Hitler’s.

Interspersing clips of their crusades with footage of Hitler at the Nuremberg rallies, the similarities couldn’t be denied.

Here are excerpts of the dialogue:

Qualities Of True Biblical Leadership Compared To the False Teachers

This new article follows on from these previous articles:

Prophetic Ministry In These Last Days. How to Recognise True And False Prophecies

An Exhortation To Pastors or "Good Shepherds"


List and Details On Other False Teachers and Prophets



We are living in days where false teachers and false prophets abound. Jesus said that by their fruits you will know them. Putting these words into the whole context of the passage we will see that the fruit, Jesus was referring to, was unscriptural false teaching but He was pointing out that they were wolves. What are the fruits of a wolf in sheeps clothing? Here are some traits: arrogance, pride, greediness, lies. Maybe, instead of looking at these traits it may be better (as a counter to the false) to consider what makes for a “true” leader or a “good shepherd”

This article will look at the qualifications for leadership as defined in the Bible to help you determine whether a teacher is sound or not.

Before we look at the qualities for Biblical leadership, I need to point out that these are  very different from worldly leadership qualities or criteria. James says that friendship with the world is enmity with God.  Paul tells us that we are not to be conformed to this world (ie the way it thinks and acts) but be transformed (in our minds and hearts) by the renewing of our minds.

In fact, we are in days of being very influenced by “new-age” thinking about leadership. For instance, many books have been written by new-age gurus about leadership skills. However, this article concentrates on revealing God’s Mind on what is required in leadership.

God is looking for spiritually qualified leaders to feed His flock. He is looking for
