God performs miracles but not through Benny Hinn

Sir,
Regarding the article Winning the lost at any cost (February 24, 2007) I would like to compliment Jean Christou for an objective, well written article on Benny Hinn’s recent visit to Cyprus.

As one of many who has spent years researching Benny Hinn, your readers may be interested to know that controversy follows him in virtually every country he visits.

Despite all of the information and news media documentaries exposing his deception, self-professed Christians flock to his “healing” crusades, and blindly contribute their hard-earned money to support Hinn’s lavish lifestyle of multi-million dollar homes, expensive cars and jewellery and custom-made clothing.

Benny Hinn claims to have the gift of healing. During his visit to Cyprus, did he bother to visit any of the local hospitals and lay hands on the sick and dying? If so, was anyone cured of sickness and disease? Was anyone raised from their death-bed? Were amputated arms and legs restored? Were precious children raised from their wheelchairs and healed of Spina Bifida and Multiple Sclerosis?

Were the dead raised back to life, as Benny Hinn promised years ago?
Whether here, in the United States or in foreign countries, Benny Hinn’s so-called “Miracle” crusades leave a trail of broken hearts and tears. Those who attend and “claim” their healing leave the same way they came in – sick, dying and in wheelchairs.

The article quoted a Cypriot source saying “stories about Hinn being suspect were not true,” and that “all of these stories are lies.” While no-one likes to be called a liar (not even liars themselves), the truth is that Benny Hinn has been proven to be a false prophet, false teacher, and false healer many times over.

Benny Hinn has claimed to be a “god” and a “messiah”. God still heals and performs miracles. But God does not use Benny Hinn to do it.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
