What a bunch of garbage from that Babylon Bee thing - lightening from his fingers. What malice that rag magazine brings and promotes.
Why not wait until the whole story comes out to see what really happened before we malign someone with our malice and slander?
Perhaps there has been wrong doing - it wouldn't be the first ministry which has afflicted every denomination and belief in the Christian community.
What if there is no wrong doing? Then we have just slandered a fellow believer in the body of Christ.
Here's what we look like to the world when we act like this to each other.
You do know that the BabylonBee is satire, right? In fact, I follow BB on FB. It is my first (and sometimes only!) laugh of the day. The comments are also priceless.
As for mocking Hinn in these two posts, if the shoe fits, wear it! (I think it fits fabulously, probably because Benny had it custom made for his feet! LOL)
Once you follow the BB for a while, you will find they mock absolutely everything. There are no sacred cows or traditions that they don't mocke, sooner or later.
Really Grace777, for someone who is so against "the traditions of men" and telling people to break away from them, it is really hypocritical for you to say, "Yes, but my traditions are true, and they are the only ones that count!"
The only disgrace to Christianity I see, is that false prophets who fleece the flock are giving the name of Jesus a bad name, and driving people from their faith. Only yesterday, on FB, I had a long time friend comment she was losing her faith in God since her mother died of cancer, and her father suffers from some kind of mental illness. I gave a bit of my testimony about coming to grips with the fact that we live in a fallen world, things will not be perfect till Jesus returns. She was printing up the Bible passages I gave her, and posting them on her fridge to remind her than God is in control!
I was able to stand against this Word Faith heresy, that everyone should be healed, using the Word of God, not the Word of Faith. It is just so awful the way these heretics are stealing from desperate blind people, and have created a doctrine on healing that does not stand up to exegetical scrutiny! I have also met a suicidal person, who was sick, not healed, and then told it was his fault! Something about unconfessed sin, not having enough faith, or not claiming it enough, I assume? Another person I had to share what the Bible really says, and what a delusion the Word Faith movement is! (Not saying God does not heal, he does! But not on demand by some TV evangelist, looking for more money from poor people suffering and in pain, or poor, and think the lies these wolves preach are the truth!)
Not my opinion, in case you want to post that! And if you doubt me, I can start a whole new post about why Health and Wealth is a scam and a Bibilcal lie! BUT, the OP and the subsequent post by PH are satire. The problem with satire, for humourless people like you, is that it has to have an element of truth in it, to make it funny.
As for the post of the garbage pile again, for the upteenth dozen time, perhaps instead of chastising people because they disagree with your false doctrine, you need to look at the real wolves - those teachers leading the flock astray, and those who follow them. Or, maybe look at how much garbage you have in that pile, standing up against the truth of the Bible, and then calling out people who do care about sound doctrine!
More on the real meaning of wolves in the Bible. And it is NOT people arguing against teachers who preach another gospel! It is the preachers and shepherds wo are condemned by Jesus and echoed in Paul's words!
"
Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves." Matt 7:15
"I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12 He who is a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. 13 He flees because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. 14 I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep." John 10:11-15
"I know that after my departure fierce wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; 30 and from among your own selves will arise men speaking twisted things, to draw away the disciples after them." Acts 20:29-30
Perfect descriptions of men like Benny Hinn, Joel Osteen and Joseph Prince! And the other people who are pushing the false doctrine of Word of Faith!
