I have only seen him on christian tv , but I couldn't watch much of it - just didn't sit right with me.
So did he believe in prosperity christianity when you knew him, before he became famous.

I never really paid too much attention to his beliefs, so I can't say.

@Butterfly I went to Toronto in the early 90's to attend one of his huge gatherings and even though I was new to anything NOT Catholic, I felt there was something off with his teachings. Sure do hope he sees the light!

I just found his gatherings were about ' him ' being glorified- that's what came across. It was all about ' his power ' being on display. The audience were just being whipped up into an emotional frenzie.
So did you stay at the gathering for the whole event Nancy ?

Well, since we drove all the way there (I had a terrible headache that night) yes, I stayed. My two other friends were loving it and, i just felt unfulfilled. He was up there "slaying" people in the Spirit by blowing on them, or just shaking his jacket at them and, over they would go! It was out of control IMO.

Yes I remember watching that happen when I watched the programs
It was like a stage show.
I guess people get drawn in, like your friends, and some discern all is not well, like you.

@Butterfly The way all of those people were acting made me feel unsaved as, I could not get all worked up by the sensationalism! Like, how can all of these people (thousands) be cheering all of this and me not "getting it". Well, I never again watched him on tv.

Wow! I knew him here in Florida way back when he acted sane..... maybe there is still a chance.
it is more likely that the winds of public opinion had just turned against him, and surely it is strictly on to the next deception as far as he's concerned; whatever it takes to get back in the publix eye, get back in fromt of the crowd, like any polit imo

His nephew's book may have embarrassed him, too. Odd, isn't it, for someone who allegedly hears from God, how long it took for "God" to get through to Hinn about the prosperity gospel.

His "girlfriend" Paula White is still touting the prosperity gospel. So what were she and Hinn doing in that hotel room? Nothing? You never know about some people. Did Hinn sexually assault that man in Africa? You never know -- but White was telling her followers this year that the way to celebrate Yom Kippur was to send her money.

Paula White Ministries | Atonement

There is an opportunity God gives us to be a part of something bigger than ourselves. He set aside specific times He calls “Holy” and our honoring Him because of His mercy and observing these specific times He has appointed releases blessing because of our obedience. If you have been pursuing God and asking for a supernatural change in your life, I have good news for you! GOD IS READY TO RELEASE SEVEN SPECIFIC ATONEMENT BLESSINGS AS FOUND IN JOEL CHAPTER 2, AND HE IS CALLING YOU to His third and final feast and opportunity to honor Him this year: the Day of Atonement- October 9th!

Since that kind of nonsense cannot be attributed to the Holy Spirit, there must have been another spirit or spirits at work. It is both sad and infuriating to see how the Gospel is abused while millions watch these imposters.

Agreed 100% Enoch! It is NOT the Spirit of God who moves these people.

well, I guess I do not have to quit my CEO job after sleeping my way to the top - because I am totally against that now.

bet you didn’t know that about me huh, Nancy.....lol

Ahaha, oh Ron, that is something I would NEVER believe about you! You are too kind of a man to have ever done anything like that....at least from what I do know of you my brother!

I only went to one of his huge meetings. What you don't see on TV is the hour long praise and worship that happens before. He was much humbler than people give him credit for. If he makes a mistake doctrinally, he isn't to proud to admit it.
