"Hinn says his imperfections are bound to catch up to him again, and for him and for all of us, it will not be until we are with Jesus that we will know what it is to be perfect. "It's sad when people focus on the times you missed it," Hinn says. Hinn's second biggest regret involves preaching prosperity gospel. He says when he first started off, he was pressured down a direction he never should have ventured toward. "When I started in ministry, it was simple. And then the ministry grew. I was invited to go to what they call praise-a-thons. And I think that's when my troubles began," Hinn says. Hinn recounts that in 2019 he no longer wanted to be part of the "gimmick" of prosperity-based circles. "Sadly, I let pressure get to me. And because of that pressure, I said things and did things I should not have done. And for that, really, I am sorry," Hinn says." - Charisma News
Again, the downplaying of the scope of Hinn's falseness is the point here. It is sad when people focus on what you missed? You missed EVERYTHING Benny. Even this blaming of praise-a-thons on other people is so wildly unbelievable. If all Hinn did was appear on some of these in the 90s that would be one thing, but this became the core feature of his own ministry, under pressure from no one. Even after the 2019 fake repentance, Hinn would continue to use his flock fleecing techniques. He never repented of it. I also do not want to lose sight of the over-arching point, which is that it is real easy to decide to feel bad after you have robbed people of 50 million dollars. Hinn seems much more contrite for how his legacy has worked out than what he has actually done. Everything is ether someone else's false or just a mistake that he now humbly asks for forgiveness for. C'mon.
"Hinn claims that he is trying his absolute best to stay as centered on the gospel as he can even when it comes to raising funds for ministry. "Right now, my focus is the Lord, and only the Lord. And if of course there will be the time when I may have to raise funds for our ministry, I will do it as biblically as I know how, and balanced," Hinn says. "The heart of prosperity has to be the gospel through biblical prosperity. And that is what I will do and strive to do for the rest of my life," Hinn says." - Charisma News
Aww, paint me skeptical but this rings quite hollow. In one interview Hinn tried to dismiss forty years of absolute reprehensible spiritual manipulation. Even in the midst of the crocodile tears about how much he just wants to be accepted by Christ, he again says that of course he will have to continue to raise funds for his fake ministry efforts. Whatever. So, in an attempt to rehabilitate his far gone image, Hinn admits he has been a false prophet, admits he has been unscrupulous in raising money yet still thinks it is ok to just raise the money differently and solider on. No beloved. Do not by the snake oil this salesman and Strang are trying to fleece you with. Benny Hinn is and always has been a wolf. Maybe if he made efforts to give half his wealth to the poor and pay back those he defrauded fourfold, we might have a starting point to discuss contrition and repentance. Short of that we just have a man seeing the end is near and trying to pretend the last forty years were not as bad as the public record says and that he is really sorry as he continues to do the same ministry efforts. Mark and avoid beloved. Mark and avoid.
